2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting solely of normal recurring matters) for a fair statement of the financial position of
the Company as of March 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008 and its cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and
2008 have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results for a full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the
Companys 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 2, 2009.
Reclassifications and Revisions
During the year ended December 31, 2008 the Company identified certain instances dating back to
1998 in which the Company canceled, upon the vesting of restricted shares, a portion of such shares
in settlement of employee tax withholdings in excess of minimum statutory rates. As a result, the
Company has changed the classification of the affected restricted share grants from equity to
liability awards (the tax withholding adjustment) in accordance with
8
BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
FASB Statement No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payment (FAS 123(R)), and its predecessors. For the three month period ended March
31, 2008, general and administrative expenses decreased by $(0.1) million for the tax withholding
adjustment. For the three month period ended March 31, 2008, the tax withholding adjustment
changed the distributions paid to shareholders on the Companys consolidated statements of cash
flows by $0.1 million.
Certain amounts have been reclassified in prior years to conform to the current year presentation.
The reclassifications are primarily due to the treatment of sold properties as discontinued
operations on the statement of operations for all periods presented and the adoption of new
accounting pronouncements.
See Accounting Pronouncements Adopted January 1, 2009 on a Retrospective Basis and Accounting
Pronouncements Adopted January 1, 2009 on a Prospective Basis for details pertaining to the
changes to prior periods resulting from the adoption of new accounting pronouncements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management makes significant
estimates regarding revenue, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts and
deferred costs.
Operating Properties
Operating properties are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses. The cost of operating properties reflects their purchase price or development cost. Costs
incurred for the acquisition and renovation of an operating property are capitalized to the
Companys investment in that property. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred;
major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized
and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the
accounts.
Purchase Price Allocation
The Company allocates the purchase price of properties to net tangible and identified intangible
assets acquired based on fair values. Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for
acquired properties are recorded 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) the Companys estimate of the fair
market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the
remaining non-cancelable term of the lease (includes the below market fixed renewal period).
Capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the
remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market lease values are
amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective
leases, including any below market fixed-rate renewal periods.
Other intangible assets also include amounts representing the value of tenant relationships and
in-place leases based on the Companys evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenants
lease and the Companys overall relationship with the respective tenant. The Company estimates the
cost to execute leases with terms similar to the remaining lease terms of the in-place leases,
including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. This intangible asset is amortized
to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases. Company estimates of value are made
using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers or by using independent appraisals.
Factors considered by the Company in this analysis include an estimate of the carrying costs during
the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar
leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other
operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up
periods, which primarily range from three to twelve months. The Company also considers information
obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and
leasing activities in estimating the fair
9
BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired.
The Company also uses the information obtained as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence as
part of its consideration of FIN 47 Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (FIN
47), and when necessary, will record a conditional asset retirement obligation as part of its
purchase price.
Characteristics considered by the Company in allocating value to its tenant relationships include
the nature and extent of the Companys business relationship with the tenant, growth prospects for
developing new business with the tenant, the tenants credit quality and expectations of lease
renewals, among other factors. The value of tenant relationship intangibles is amortized over the
remaining initial lease term and expected renewals, but in no event longer than the remaining
depreciable life of the building. The value of in-place leases is amortized over the remaining
non-cancelable term of the respective leases and any fixed-rate renewal periods.
In the event that a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of each intangible,
including in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, would be charged to expense and
market rate adjustments (above or below) would be recorded to revenue.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144 (SFAS 144), Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets as
held-for-sale, broadens the scope of businesses to be disposed of that qualify for reporting as
discontinued operations and changes the timing of recognizing losses on such operations.
The Company reviews long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an
estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) expected to result from
the long-lived assets use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such as
expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand,
competition and other factors. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying
value of a long-lived asset, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value
exceeds the estimated fair-value of the property. The Company is required to make subjective
assessments as to whether there are impairments in the values of the investments in long-lived
assets. These assessments have a direct impact on its net income because recording an impairment
loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income. The evaluation of anticipated cash
flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental
rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods.
Although the Companys strategy is generally to hold its properties over the long-term, the Company
will dispose of properties to meet its liquidity needs or for other strategic needs. If the
Companys strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an
impairment loss may be recognized to reduce the property to the lower of the carrying amount or
fair value less costs to sell, and such loss could be material. If the Company determines that
impairment has occurred, the affected assets must be reduced to their fair-value.
Where properties have been identified as having a potential for sale, additional judgments are
required related to the determination as to the appropriate period over which the undiscounted cash
flows should include the operating cash flows and the amount included as the estimated residual
value. Management determines the amounts to be included based on a probability weighted cash flow.
This requires significant judgment. In some cases, the results of whether an impairment is
indicated are sensitive to changes in assumptions input into the estimates, including the hold
period until expected sale.
At March 31, 2009, during the Companys impairment review, it determined that one of the properties
tested for impairment under the held and used model had a historical cost greater than the
probability weighted undiscounted cash flows. Accordingly, the recorded amount was reduced to an
amount based on managements estimate of the current fair value.
Revenue Recognition
10
BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
Rental revenue is recognized on the straight-line basis from the later of the date of the
commencement of the lease or the date of acquisition of the property subject to existing leases,
which averages minimum rents over the terms of the
leases. The straight-line rent adjustment increased revenue by approximately $1.1 million and $6.1
million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. Deferred rents on the balance
sheet represent rental revenue received prior to their due dates and amounts paid by the tenant for
certain improvements considered to be landlord assets that will remain the Companys property at
the end of the tenants lease term. The amortization of the amounts paid by the tenant for such
improvements is calculated on a straight-line basis over the term of the tenants lease and is a
component of straight-line rental income and increased revenue by $0.8 million and $0.5 million for
the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. Leases also typically provide for tenant
reimbursement of a portion of common area maintenance and other operating expenses to the extent
that a tenants pro rata share of expenses exceeds a base year level set in the lease or to the
extent that the tenant has a lease on a triple net basis. Termination fees received from tenants,
bankruptcy settlement fees, third party management fees, labor reimbursement and leasing income are
recorded when earned.
Stock-Based Compensation Plans
The Company maintains a shareholder-approved equity-incentive plan known as the Amended and
Restated 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 1997 Plan). The 1997 Plan is administered by the
Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of Trustees. Under the 1997 Plan, the Compensation
Committee is authorized to award equity and equity-based awards, including incentive stock options,
non-qualified stock options, restricted shares and performance-based shares. As of March 31, 2009,
3.3 million common shares remained available for future awards under the 1997 Plan. Through March
31, 2009, all options awarded under the 1997 Plan had a one to ten-year term.
The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1.0 million and $1.2 million during the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and such amounts are included in
general and administrative expense on the Companys consolidated income statement in the respective
periods.
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company accounts for its derivative instruments and hedging activities under SFAS No. 133
(SFAS 133), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and its corresponding
amendments under SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
An Amendment of SFAS 133. SFAS 133 requires the Company to measure every derivative instrument
(including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) at fair value and record
them in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability. See disclosures below related to the
Companys adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, the changes in fair value of both
the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated
as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are
reported in other comprehensive income. The ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in
earnings in the current period.
The Company actively manages its ratio of fixed-to-floating rate debt. To manage its fixed and
floating rate debt in a cost-effective manner, the Company, from time to time, enters into interest
rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges, under which it agrees to exchange various combinations of
fixed and/or variable interest rates based on agreed upon notional amounts.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
(SFAS 157) as amended by FASB Staff Position SFAS 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157
to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements
for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13 (FSP FAS 157-1) and FASB
Staff Position SFAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (FSP FAS 157-2). SFAS 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework
11
BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
for measuring fair value in GAAP and provides for
expanded disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is applied prospectively, including to
all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. FSP FAS 157-1
amends SFAS 157 to exclude from the scope of SFAS 157 certain leasing transactions accounted for
under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, Accounting for Leases for purposes of
measurements and classifications. FSP FAS 157-2 amends SFAS 157 to defer the effective date of SFAS
157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities except those that are recognized or
disclosed at fair value in the
financial statements on a recurring basis to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.
Accordingly, the Company adopted SFAS 157 for non-financial assets effective January 1, 2009.
SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to
transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS 157
also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable
inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard
describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Financial assets and
liabilities recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the
valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices
included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as
well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as
interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted
intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which is typically
based on an entitys own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity or
information. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs
from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within
which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Companys assessment of the
significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment,
and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. SFAS 157 was applied to the Companys
outstanding derivatives and available-for-sale-securities effective January 1, 2008 and to all
non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities effective January 1, 2009.

The adoption of SFAS 157 under FSP FAS 157-2 did not have a material impact on the Companys
financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Non-financial assets and liabilities recorded
at fair value on a non-recurring basis to which the Company would apply SFAS 157 where a
measurement was required under fair value would include:
| Non-financial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in an acquisition or business combination that are not remeasured at least annually at fair value, | ||
| Long-lived assets measured at fair value due to an impairment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and | ||
| Asset retirement obligations initially measured at fair value under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. |
Income Taxes
Brandywine Realty Trust has elected to be treated as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). In order to continue to qualify as a REIT,
Brandywine Realty Trust is required to, among other things, distribute at least 90% of its annual
REIT taxable income to its stockholders and meet certain tests regarding the nature of its income
and assets. As a REIT, Brandywine Realty Trust is not subject to federal and state income taxes
with respect to the portion of its income that meets certain criteria and is distributed annually
to its stockholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal and state income taxes is included in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to the operations of Brandywine
Realty Trust. Brandywine Realty Trust intends to continue to operate in a manner that allows it to
meet the requirements for taxation as a REIT. If Brandywine Realty Trust fails to qualify as a
REIT in any taxable year, Brandywine Realty Trust will be subject to federal and state income taxes
and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent tax years. Brandywine Realty
Trust is subject to certain local income taxes. Provision for such taxes has been included in
general and administrative expenses in Brandywine Realty Trusts Consolidated Statements of
Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Brandywine Realty Trust has elected to treat several of its subsidiaries as REITs under Sections
856 through 860 of the Code. As a result, each subsidiary REIT generally is not subject to federal
and state income taxation at the corporate level to the extent it distributes annually at least
100% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and satisfies certain other organizational and
operational requirements. Each subsidiary REIT has met these requirements and, accordingly, no
provision has been made for federal and state income taxes in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. If any subsidiary REIT fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, that
subsidiary REIT will be subject to federal and state income taxes and may not be able to qualify as
a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. In addition, this may adversely impact Brandywine
Realty Trusts ability to qualify as a REIT. Also, each subsidiary REIT may be subject to local
income taxes.

Brandywine Realty Trust has elected to treat several of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT
subsidiaries (each a TRS). A TRS is subject to federal, state and local income tax. In general,
a TRS may perform additional non-customary services for tenants and generally may engage in any
real estate or non-real estate related businesses that are not permitted REIT activities.
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted January 1, 2009 on a Retrospective Basis
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the FASB Staff Position APB 14-1 Accounting for
Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash
Settlement) (FSP APB 14-1). This new standard requires the initial proceeds from convertible
debt that may be settled in cash to be bifurcated between a liability component and an equity
component. The objective of the guidance is to require the liability and equity components of
convertible debt to be separately accounted for in a manner such that the interest expense recorded
on the convertible debt would not equal the contractual rate of interest on the convertible debt,
but instead would be recorded at a rate that would reflect the issuers conventional debt borrowing
rate. This is accomplished through the creation of a discount on the debt that would be accreted
using the effective interest method as additional non-cash interest expense over the period the
debt is expected to remain outstanding (i.e. through the first optional redemption date). The
provisions of FSP APB 14-1 were adopted on January 1, 2009 and applied retrospectively.
FSP APB 14-1 impacted the Companys accounting for its 3.875% Exchangeable Notes and has a material
impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements and results of operations. The principal
liability outstanding was $275.5 million at March 31, 2009 and $282.3 million at December 31, 2008.
At certain times and upon certain events, the notes are exchangeable for cash up to their
principal amount and, with respect to the remainder, if any, of the exchange value in excess of
such principal amount, cash or common shares. The initial exchange rate is 25.4065 shares per
$1,000 principal amount of notes (which is equivalent to an initial exchange price of $39.36 per
share). The carrying amount of the equity component was $11.1 million at March 31, 2009 and $12.2
million at December 31, 2008. The debt discount of the liability will be amortized through October
15, 2011. The effective interest rate at March 31, 2009 and 2008 was 5.5%. The Company recognized
$2.7 million and $3.3 million of contractual coupon interest during the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and
2008, the Company recognized $1.0 million of interest on amortization of the debt discount. The
application of FSP APB 14-1 resulted in an aggregate of approximately $3.9 million (net of
incremental capitalized interest) of additional non-cash interest expense retrospectively applied
for fiscal 2008. Excluding the impact of capitalized interest, the additional non-cash interest
expense was approximately $4.3 million for fiscal 2008, and this amount (before netting) increased
in subsequent reporting periods through the first optional redemption dates as the debt accretes to
its par value over the same period. The application of FSP APB 14-1 required the Company to reduce
the amount of gain recognized on early extinguishment of debt in the twelve-months ended December
31, 2008 by approximately $2.6 million.
Accordingly, in accordance with the Companys retrospective adoption of FSP APB 14-1, the December
31, 2008 balance sheet herein has been revised as follows:

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the FASB Staff Position EITF No. 03-6-1,
Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating
Securities (FSP EITF 03-6-1). This new standard requires that non-vested share-based payment
awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents be treated as
participating securities in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.
FSP EITF 03-6-1 was applied retrospectively to all periods presented for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008. FSP EITF 03-6-1 required the Company to include the impact of its
unvested restricted shares in earnings per share using this more dilutive methodology. The face of
the Companys consolidated statement of operations and earnings per share disclosure (See Note 11)
has been updated to reflect the adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 and are presented as amounts allocated
to unvested restricted shareholders.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Accounting for
Non-controlling Interests (SFAS No. 160). Under this statement, non-controlling interests are
presented as a component of consolidated shareholders equity unless these interests are considered
redeemable. Also, under SFAS No. 160, net income will encompass the total income of all
consolidated subsidiaries and there will be separate disclosure on the face of the income statement
of the attribution of that income between controlling and non-controlling interests. Lastly,
increases and decreases in non-controlling interests will be treated as equity transactions. The
face of the Companys consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations and statements of other
comprehensive income has been updated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 160. SFAS No. 160 did
not have material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations. The Company
also adopted the recent revisions on EITF Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable
Securities, which became effective upon its adoption of SFAS 160. As a result of the Companys
adoption of these standards, amounts previously reported as minority interests in consolidated real
estate ventures on its balance sheets are now presented as non-controlling interests within equity.
There has been no change in the measurement of this line item from
amounts previously reported. During the three months ended March 31,
2009, the Company allocated $0.5 million to non-controlling interests,
which related to the accumulated other comprehensive income balance
as of December 31, 2008 attributable to the non-controlling interests. The Company determined the out of period adjustment was not material to prior periods or to the current period.
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted January 1, 2009 on a Prospective Basis
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 161 Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161).
This new standard enhances disclosure requirements for derivative instruments in order to provide
users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of (i) how and why an entity uses
derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for
under Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities and its related interpretations and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged
items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is to
be applied prospectively for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after November 15,
2008. See Note 8 for further discussion.
In April 2008, the FASB Staff Position 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible
Assets (FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 is to be applied prospectively for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. The Company has not
15
BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
entered into any acquisition transactions during the
quarter ended March 31, 2009, therefore the adoption of FSP 142-3 did not have a material impact on
the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS
141(R)), which establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer shall recognize and
measure in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, any
non-controlling interest in the acquiree and goodwill acquired in a business combination. This
statement is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the
beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The
Company did not complete any acquisitions during the quarter ended March 31, 2009, therefore
adoption of SFAS 141(R) has not yet impacted the Company.
New Pronouncements
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments (FSP FAS 107-1). FSP FAS 107-1 amends SFAS No. 107 to require disclosures
about fair value of
financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies in addition to the
annual financial statements. FSP FAS 107-1 also amends APB No. 28 to require those disclosures in
summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP FAS 107-1 is effective for
interim periods ending after June 30, 2009. Prior period presentation is not required for
comparative purposes at initial adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS
107-1 on April 1, 2009 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results
of operations.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP Financial Accounting Standard 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition
and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2). FSP FAS
115-2 and FAS 124-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt
securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of
other-than temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. FSP
FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after June 15,
2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 on July 1, 2009 to
have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of
Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That
are Not Orderly (FSP FAS 157-4). FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair
value in accordance with SFAS No. 157 when the volume and level of activity for both financial and
nonfinancial assets or liabilities have significantly decreased. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for
fiscal years and interim periods beginning after June 15, 2009 and shall be applied prospectively.
Early adoption for periods ending before March 15, 2009, is not permitted. The Company does not
expect the adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 for the quarter ending after June 15, 2009 to have a material
impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Acquisitions and Dispositions
The Companys acquisitions are accounted for by the purchase method in accordance with SFAS 141(R).
The results of each acquired property are included in the Companys results of operations from
their respective purchase dates. The Company did not complete any acquisitions during the periods
covered in these financial statements.
On March 16, 2009, the Company sold 305 Harper Drive, a 14,980 net rentable square feet office
property located in Moorestown, New Jersey, for a sales price of $1.1 million.
On February 4, 2009, the Company sold two office properties, totaling 66,664 net rentable square
feet in Exton, Pennsylvania, for an aggregate sales price of $9.0 million.
All sales above are included within discontinued operations.
4. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED VENTURES
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had an aggregate investment of approximately $86.1 million in its
13 unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures. The Company formed these ventures with unaffiliated third
parties, or acquired them, to develop office properties or to acquire land in anticipation of
possible development of office properties. Ten of the Real Estate Ventures own 44 office buildings
that contain an aggregate of approximately 4.3 million net rentable square feet, one Real Estate
Venture developed a hotel property that contains 137 rooms in Conshohocken, PA and one Real Estate
Venture constructed and sold condominiums in Charlottesville, VA.
The Company accounts for its unconsolidated interests in its Real Estate Ventures using the equity
method. Unconsolidated interests range from 5% to 50%, subject to specified priority allocations in
certain of the Real Estate Ventures.
The amounts reflected in the following tables (except for the Companys share of equity and income)
are based on the historical financial information of the individual Real Estate Ventures. One of
the Real Estate Ventures, acquired in connection with the Prentiss Properties Trust merger in 2006,
had a negative equity balance on a historical cost basis as a result of historical depreciation and
distribution of excess financing proceeds. The Company reflected its acquisition of this Real
Estate Venture interest at its relative fair value as of the date of the purchase of Prentiss. The
difference between allocated cost and the underlying equity in the net assets of the investee is
accounted for as if the entity were consolidated (i.e., allocated to the Companys relative share
of assets and liabilities with an adjustment to recognize equity in earnings for the appropriate
additional depreciation/amortization). The Company does not record operating losses of the Real
Estate Ventures in excess of its investment balance unless the Company is liable for the
obligations of the Real Estate Venture or is otherwise committed to provide financial support to
the Real Estate Venture.

20
BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Company accelerated amortization of the related deferred financing costs of $0.1 million. The gain
on early extinguishment of debt is inclusive of adjustments made to reflect the Companys adoption
of FSP APB 14-1.
The Company utilizes credit facility borrowings for general business purposes, including the
acquisition, development and redevelopment of properties and the repayment of other debt. The
maturity date of the $600 million Credit Facility (the Credit Facility) is June 29, 2011 (subject
to an extension of one year, at the Companys option, upon its payment of an extension fee equal to
15 basis points of the committed amount under the Credit Facility). The per annum variable
interest rate on outstanding balances is Eurodollar plus 0.725%. The interest rate and facility
fee are subject to
adjustment upon a change in the Companys unsecured debt ratings. The Company has the option to
increase the Credit Facility to $800.0 million subject to the absence of any defaults and the
Companys ability to acquire additional commitments from its existing lenders or new lenders. As
of March 31, 2009, the Company had $200.0 million of borrowings, $15.1 million of letters of credit
outstanding under the Credit Facility, and a $15.3 million holdback in connection with our historic
tax credit transaction leaving $369.6 million of unused availability. During the three-month
periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the weighted-average interest rate on the Credit Facility
was 3.02% and 3.90% respectively. As of March 31, 2009 and 2008, the weighted average interest
rate on the Credit Facility was 1.27% and 3.69% respectively.
The Credit Facility requires the maintenance of ratios related to minimum net worth, debt-to-total
capitalization and fixed charge coverage and includes non-financial covenants. The Company was in
compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2009.
In April 2007, the Company entered into a $20.0 million Sweep Agreement (the Sweep Agreement) to
be used for cash management purposes. Borrowings under the Sweep Agreement bear interest at
one-month LIBOR plus 0.75%. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Sweep Agreement, leaving
$20.0 million of unused availability. In April 2008, the Sweep Agreement was extended until April
2009 at which point the agreement was not renewed.

8. RISK MANAGEMENT AND USE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Risk Management
In the course of its on-going business operations, the Company encounters economic risk. There are
three main components of economic risk: interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. The
Company is subject to interest rate risk on its interest-bearing liabilities. Credit risk is
primarily the risk of inability or unwillingness of tenants to make contractually required
payments. Market risk is the risk of declines in the value of properties due to changes in rental
rates, interest rates or other market factors affecting the valuation of properties held by the
Company.
Risks and Uncertainties
Deteriorating economic conditions have resulted in a reduction of the availability of financing and
higher borrowing costs. These factors, coupled with a slowing economy, have reduced the volume of
real estate transactions and created
21
BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
credit stresses on most businesses. The Company believes that vacancy rates may increase through
2009 and possibly beyond as the current economic climate negatively impacts tenants in the
Properties, or other counter parties such as the counter parties in our derivative contracts.
The Company expects that the impact of the current state of the economy, including rising
unemployment and the unprecedented volatility and illiquidity in the financial and credit markets,
will continue to have a dampening effect on the fundamentals of its business, including increases
in past due accounts, tenant defaults, lower occupancy and reduced effective rents. These
conditions would negatively affect the Companys future net income and cash flows and could have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition. In addition to the financial constraints on
our tenants, many of the debt capital markets that the Company and other real estate companies
frequently access, such as the unsecured bond market and the convertible debt market, are not
currently available on terms that management believes are economically attractive or at all.
Although management believes that the quality of the Companys assets and its strong balance sheet
will enable the Company to raise debt capital from other sources such as traditional term or
secured loans from banks, pension funds and life insurance companies, these sources are lending
fewer dollars, under stricter terms and at higher borrowing rates, and there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to borrow funds on terms that are economically attractive or at all.
As of March 31, 2009, the Company has maturing debt of $228.0 million in 2009 and $491.1 million in
2010 (Note 7). These amounts do not include the Credit Facility or the Bank Term Loan as those
loans can be extended until 2012 at the Companys discretion. Management is focused on continuing
to enhance the Companys liquidity and strengthening its balance sheet through capital retention,
targeted sales activity and management of existing and prospective liabilities. The Company
intends to improve liquidity (and refinance maturing debt) through a combination of secured
mortgages and selective asset sales.
The Companys Credit Facility, Bank Term Loan and the indenture governing the unsecured public debt
securities (Note 7) contain restrictions, requirements and other limitations on the ability to
incur indebtedness, including total debt to asset ratios, secured debt to total asset ratios, debt
service coverage ratios and minimum ratios of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt which it must
maintain. The ability to borrow under the Credit Facility is subject to compliance with such
financial and other covenants. In the event that the Company fails to satisfy these covenants, it
would be in default under the Credit Facility, the Bank Term Loan and the indenture and may be
required to repay such debt with capital from other sources. Under such circumstances, other
sources of capital may not be available, or may be available only on unattractive terms.
Availability of borrowings under the Credit Facility is subject to a traditional material adverse
effect clause. Each time the Company borrows it must represent to the lenders that there have been
no events of a nature which would have a material adverse effect on the business, assets,
operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company taken as a whole or
which could negatively effect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the
Credit Facility. While the Company believes that there are currently no material adverse effect
events, the Company is operating in unprecedented economic times and it is possible that such
events could arise which would limit the Companys borrowings under the Credit Facility. If an
event occurs which is considered to have a material adverse effect, the lenders could consider the
Company in default under the terms of the Credit Facility and the borrowings under the Credit
Facility would become due and payable. If the Company is unable to obtain a waiver, this would have
a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position and results of operations.
The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2009. Management
continuously monitors the Companys compliance with and anticipated compliance with the covenants.
Certain of the covenants restrict managements ability to obtain alternative sources of capital.
While the Company currently believes it will remain in compliance with its covenants, in the event
of a continued slow-down and continued crisis in the credit markets, the Company may not be able to
remain in compliance with such covenants and if the lender would not provide a waiver, it could
result in an event of default.
Use of Derivative Financial Instruments
The Companys use of derivative instruments is limited to the utilization of interest rate
agreements or other instruments to manage interest rate risk exposures and not for speculative
purposes. The principal objective of such arrangements is
22
BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Companys operating and financial structure,
as well as to hedge specific transactions. The counterparties to these arrangements are major
financial institutions with which the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial
relationships. The Company is potentially exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance
by these counterparties. However, because of the high credit ratings of the counterparties, the
Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet these obligations as
they come due. The Company does not hedge credit or property value market risks through derivative
financial instruments.
The Company formally assesses, both at inception of the hedge and on an on-going basis, whether
each derivative is highly-effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. If
management determines that a derivative is not highly-effective as a hedge or if a derivative
ceases to be a highly-effective hedge, the Company will discontinue hedge accounting prospectively.
The related ineffectiveness would be charged to the Statement of Operations.
The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques
including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This
analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and
uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The
fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting
the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash
payments (or receipts).
The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates
(forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.
To comply with the provisions of SFAS No. 157, the Company incorporates credit valuation
adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective
counterpartys nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of
its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the
impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds,
mutual puts, and guarantees.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives
fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with
its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the
likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of March 31, 2009, the Company
has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall
valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are
not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has
determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair
value hierarchy.
The following table summarizes the terms and fair values of the Companys derivative financial
instruments at March 31, 2009. The notional amounts at March 31, 2009 provide an indication of the
extent of the Companys involvement in these instruments at that time, but do not represent
exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of tenants related to the Companys investments
or rental operations are engaged in similar business activities, or are located in the same
geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their inability to meet
contractual obligations, including those to the Company, to be similarly affected. The Company
regularly monitors its tenant base to assess potential concentrations of credit risk. Management
believes the current credit risk portfolio is reasonably well diversified and does not contain any
unusual concentration of credit risk. No tenant accounted for 5% or more of the Companys rents
during the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. Recent developments in the general
economy and the global credit markets have had a significant adverse effect on companies in
numerous industries. The Company has tenants concentrated in various industries that may be
experiencing adverse effects from the current economic conditions and the Company could be
adversely affected if such tenants go into default on their leases.
9. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, income from discontinued operations relates to the

10. NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIP AND CONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE
VENTURES
Operating Partnership
As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the aggregate book value of the non-controlling
interests associated with these units in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet was $52.4
million and $53.0 million, respectively and the Company believes that the aggregate settlement
value of these interests was approximately $8.0 million and $21.7 million, respectively. This
amount is based on the number of units outstanding and the closing share price on the balance sheet
date.
Non-Controlling
Interest Partners Share of Consolidated Real Estate Ventures
As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company owned interests in three consolidated real
estate ventures that own three office properties containing approximately 0.4 million net rentable
square feet. The Company is the primary beneficiary and these consolidated real estate ventures
are variable interest entities under FIN 46R.
The non-controlling interests associated with certain of the real estate ventures that have finite
lives under the terms of the partnership agreements represent mandatorily redeemable interests as
defined in SFAS 150. The aggregate amount related to these non-controlling interests classified
within equity is $0.1 million at March 31, 2009 and a nominal amount as of December 31, 2008. The
Company believes that the aggregate settlement value of these
interests was approximately $8.1
million and $9.1 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. This amount is
based on the estimated liquidation values of the assets and liabilities and the resulting proceeds
that the Company would distribute to its real estate venture partners upon dissolution, as required
under the terms of the respective partnership agreements. Subsequent changes to the estimated
liquidation values of the assets and liabilities of the consolidated real estate ventures will
affect the Companys estimate of the aggregate settlement value. The partnership agreements do not
limit the amount that the non-controlling interest partners would be entitled to in the event of
liquidation of the assets and liabilities and dissolution of the respective partnerships.

Securities totaling 2,816,621 and 3,719,618 as of March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were
excluded from the earnings per share computations because their effect would have been
antidilutive.
The contingent securities/stock based compensation impact is calculated using the treasury stock
method and relates to employee awards settled in shares of the Company. The effect of these
securities is anti-dilutive for periods that the Company incurs a net loss available to common
shareholders and therefore is excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculation in such
periods.
Unvested restricted shares are considered participating securities which require the use of the
two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. For the three months
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, earnings representing nonforfeitable dividends as noted in table
above were allocated to the unvested restricted shares.
Common and Preferred Shares
On March 18, 2009, the Company declared a distribution of $0.10 per Common Share, totaling $8.9
million, which was paid on April 17, 2009 to shareholders of record as of April 3, 2009. On March
18, 2009, the Company declared distributions on its Series C Preferred Shares and Series D
Preferred Shares to holders of record as of March 30, 2009. These shares are entitled to a
preferential return of 7.50% and 7.375%, respectively. Distributions paid on April 15, 2009 to
holders of Series C Preferred Shares and Series D Preferred Shares totaled $0.9 million and $1.1
million, respectively.

The Company issued 2,000,000 7.50% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares (the Series C
Preferred Shares) for net proceeds of $48.1 million in 2003. The Series C Preferred Shares are
perpetual. On or after December 30, 2008, the Company, at its option, may redeem the Series C
Preferred Shares, in whole or in part, by paying $25.00 per share plus accrued but unpaid
dividends.
The Company issued 2,300,000 7.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares (the Series D
Preferred Shares) for net proceeds of $55.5 million in 2004. The Series D Preferred Shares are
perpetual. On or after February 27, 2009, the Company, at its option, may redeem the Series D
Preferred Shares, in whole or in part, by paying $25.00 per share plus accrued but unpaid
dividends. The Company could not redeem Series D Preferred Shares before February 27, 2009 except
to preserve its REIT status.
Common Share Repurchases
The Company maintains a share repurchase program under which the Board has authorized us to
repurchase our common shares from time to time. The Board initially authorized this program in
1998 and has periodically replenished capacity under the program. On May 2, 2006 the Companys
Board restored capacity to 3.5 million common shares.
The Company did not repurchase any shares during the three month period ended March 31, 2009. As
of March 31, 2009, the Company may purchase an additional 0.5 million shares under the plan.
Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions, subject to market conditions and compliance with legal requirements. The share
repurchase program does not contain any time limitation and does not obligate the Company to
repurchase any shares. The Company may discontinue the program at any time.
12. SHARE BASED AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION
Stock Options
At March 31, 2009, the Company had 1,754,648 options outstanding under its shareholder approved
equity incentive plan. There were 1,694,424 options unvested as of March 31, 2009 and $0.9 million
of unrecognized compensation expense associated with these options recognized over a weighted
average of 2.0 years. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 the Company recognized $0.1

Restricted Share Awards
As of March 31, 2009, 373,742 restricted shares were outstanding and vest over three to seven years
from the initial grant date. The remaining compensation expense to be recognized at March 31, 2009
was approximately $6.5 million. That expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average
remaining vesting period of 2.7 years. The Company recognized compensation expense related to
outstanding restricted shares of $0.4 million and $0.7 million during the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and such amounts are included in general and administrative
expense in the respective periods. See Note 2 for the Companys determination that restricted

Outperformance Program
On August 28, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of Trustees adopted a
long-term incentive compensation program (the outperformance program). The Company will make
payments (in the form of common shares) to executive-participants under the outperformance program
only if the Companys total shareholder return exceeds percentage hurdles established under the
outperformance program. The dollar value of any payments will depend
on the extent to which our performance exceeds the hurdles. The Company established the
outperformance program under the 1997 Plan.
If the total shareholder return (share price appreciation plus cash dividends) during a three-year
measurement period exceeds either of two hurdles (with one hurdle keyed to the greater of a fixed
percentage and an industry-based index, and the other hurdle keyed to a fixed percentage), then the
Company will fund an incentive compensation pool in accordance with a formula and make pay-outs
from the compensation pool in the form of vested and restricted common shares. The awards issued
are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123(R). The fair value of the awards on August 28, 2006,
as adjusted for estimated forfeitures, was approximately $5.6 million and will be amortized into
expense over the five-year period beginning on the date of grant using a graded vesting attribution
model. The fair value of $5.6 million on the date of the initial grant represents approximately
86.5% of the total that may be awarded; the remaining amount available will be valued when the
awards are granted to individuals. In January 2007, the Company awarded an additional 4.5% under
the outperformance program. The fair value of the additional award is $0.3 million and will be
amortized over the remaining portion of the 5 year period. On the date of each grant, the awards
were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation.
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized $0.3 million and
$0.4 million, respectively, of compensation expenses related to the outperformance program.
Employee Share Purchase Plan
On May 9, 2007, the Companys shareholders approved the 2007 Non-Qualified Employee Share Purchase
Plan (the ESPP). The ESPP is intended to provide eligible employees with a convenient means to
purchase common shares of the Company through payroll deductions and voluntary cash purchases at an
amount equal to 85% of the average closing
28
BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
price per share for a specified period. Under the plan
document, the maximum participant contribution for the 2008 plan year is limited to the lesser of
20% of compensation or $25,000. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP is 1.25
million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, employees made purchases of $0.1 million under
the ESPP and the Company recognized a nominal amount of compensation expense related to the ESPP.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, employees made purchases of $0.1 million under the ESPP
and the Company recognized $0.1 million of compensation expense related to the ESPP. The Board of
Directors of the Company may terminate the ESPP at its sole discretion at anytime.
Deferred Compensation
In January 2005, the Company adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) that allows
directors and certain key employees to voluntarily defer compensation. Compensation expense is
recorded for the deferred compensation and a related liability is recognized. Participants may
elect designated investment options for the notational investment of their deferred compensation.
The deferred compensation obligation is adjusted for deemed income or loss related to the
investments selected. At the time the participants defer compensation, the Company records a
liability, which is included in the Companys consolidated balance sheet. The liability is
adjusted for changes in the market value of the participants selected investments at the end of
each accounting period, and the impact of adjusting the liability is recorded as an increase or
decrease to compensation cost. As of March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded a net reduction
in compensation costs of $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in connection with the Plan
due to the decline in market value of the participant investments in the Plan.
The deferred compensation obligations are unfunded, but the Company has purchased company-owned
life insurance policies which can be utilized as a future funding source for the obligations
related to the Plan. Participants in the Plan have no interest in any assets set aside by the
Company to meet its obligations under the deferral plan.
Participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) may elect to have all or a portion of
their deferred compensation invested in the Companys common shares. The Company holds these
shares in a rabbi trust, which is subject to the claims of the Companys creditors in the event of
the Companys bankruptcy or insolvency. The Plan does not provide for diversification of a
participants deferral allocated to the Company common share and deferrals allocated to Company
common share can only be settled with a fixed number of shares. In accordance with Emerging Issues
Task Force Issue 97-14, Accounting for Deferred Compensation Arrangements Where Amounts Earned Are
Held in A Rabbi Trust and Invested, the deferred compensation obligation associated with Company
common share is classified as a component of shareholders equity and the related shares are
treated as shares to be issued and are included in total shares outstanding. At March 31, 2009 and
2008, there were 0.2 million shares to be issued included in total shares outstanding.
Subsequent changes in the fair value of the common shares are not reflected in operations or
shareholders equity of the Company.
13. TAX CREDIT TRANSACTIONS
Historic Tax Credit Transaction
On November 17, 2008, the Company closed a transaction with US Bancorp (USB) related to the
historic rehabilitation of the 30th Street Post Office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Project),
an 862,692 square foot office building which is 100% pre-leased to the Internal Revenue Service
(expected commencement of the IRS lease is August 2010). USB has agreed to contribute approximately
$67.9 million of Project costs and advanced $10.2 million of that contemporaneously with the
closing of the transaction. The remaining funds will be advanced in 2009 and 2010 subject to the
Companys achievement of certain construction milestones and its compliance with the federal
rehabilitation regulations. In return for the investment, USB will, upon completion of the Project
in 2010, receive substantially all of the rehabilitation credits available under section 47 of the
Internal Revenue Code.
In exchange for its contributions into the Project, USB is entitled to substantially all of the
benefits derived from the tax credit, but does not have a material interest in the underlying
economics of the property. This transaction also includes a
29
BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
put/call provision whereby the Company
may be obligated or entitled to repurchase USBs interest in the Project. The Company believes the
put will be exercised and an amount attributed to that obligation is included in other liabilities.
Based on the contractual arrangements that obligate the Company to deliver tax benefits and provide
other guarantees to USB and that entitle the Company through fee arrangements to receive
substantially all available cash flow from the Project, the Company concluded that the Project
should be consolidated in accordance with FIN 46R. The Company also concluded that capital
contributions received from USB, in substance, are consideration that the Company receives in
exchange for its obligation to deliver tax credits and other tax benefits to USB. These receipts
will be recognized as revenue in the consolidated financial statements beginning when the
obligation to USB is relieved upon delivery of the expected tax benefits net of any associated
costs. The USB contribution made during 2008 of $10.2 million is included in other liabilities on
the Companys consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The Company
anticipates that upon completion of the Project in 2010 it will begin to recognize the cash
received as revenue as the five year credit recapture period expires as defined in the Internal
Revenue Code.
Direct and incremental costs incurred in structuring the arrangement are deferred and amortized in
proportion to the recognition of the related revenue. The deferred cost at March 31, 2009 is $2.5
million and is included in other assets on the Companys consolidated balance sheet.
New Markets Tax Credit Transaction
On December 30, 2008, the Company entered into a transaction with USB related to the Cira Garage
Project (garage project) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and expects to receive a net benefit of
$7.8 million under a qualified New Markets Tax Credit Program (NMTC). The NMTC was provided for
in the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 (the Act) and is intended to induce investment
capital in underserved and impoverished areas of the United States. The Act permits taxpayers
(whether companies or individuals) to claim credits against their Federal income taxes for up to
39% of qualified investments in qualified, active low-income businesses or ventures.
USB contributed $13.3 million into the garage project and as such they are entitled to
substantially all of the benefits derived from the tax credit, but they do not have a material
interest in the underlying economics of the garage project. This transaction also includes a
put/call provision whereby the Company may be obligated or entitled to repurchase USBs interest.
The Company believes the put will be exercised and an amount attributed to that obligation is
included in other liabilities.
Based on the contractual arrangements that obligate the Company to deliver tax benefits and provide
various other guarantees to USB, the Company concluded that the project should be consolidated in
accordance with FIN 46R. Proceeds received in exchange for the transfer of the tax credits will be
recognized when the tax benefits are delivered without risk of recapture to the tax credit
investors and the Companys obligation is relieved. Accordingly, the USB contribution of $13.3
million is included in other liabilities on the Companys consolidated balance sheet at March 31,
2009 and December 31, 2008.
Direct and incremental costs incurred in structuring the arrangement are deferred and amortized
over the expected duration of the arrangement in proportion to the recognition of the related
revenue. The deferred asset at March 31, 2009 is $5.2 million and is included in other assets on
the Companys consolidated balance sheet.
The Company anticipates that it will recognize the net cash received as revenue in the year ended
December 31, 2014. The NMTC is subject to 100% recapture for a period of seven years.
14. SEGMENT INFORMATION
As of March 31, 2009, the Company manages its portfolio within six segments: (1) Pennsylvania, (2)
Metropolitan Washington D.C, (3) New Jersey/Delaware, (4) Richmond, Virginia, (5) California and
(6) Austin, Texas. The Pennsylvania segment includes properties in Chester, Delaware, Bucks, and
Montgomery counties in the Philadelphia suburbs and the City of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. The
Metropolitan Washington, D.C. segment includes properties
30
BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
in Northern Virginia and suburban
Maryland. The New Jersey/Delaware segment includes properties in counties in the southern and
central part of New Jersey including Burlington, Camden and Mercer counties and in the state of
Delaware. The Richmond, Virginia segment includes properties primarily in Albemarle, Chesterfield
and Henrico counties, the City of Richmond and Durham, North Carolina. The California segment
includes properties in Oakland, Concord, Carlsbad and Rancho Bernardo. The Austin, Texas segment
includes properties in Coppell and Austin. The corporate group is responsible for cash and
investment management, development of certain real estate properties during the construction
period, and certain other general support functions. Land held for development and construction in
progress are transferred to operating properties by region upon completion of the associated
construction or project.
The Austin, Texas segment was previously known as the Southwest segment. In order to provide
specificity and to reflect the disposition of properties in Dallas, Texas in 2007, the Company now
considers this segment to be Austin, Texas. The California segment was previously broken out into
California North and California South. Upon the completion of the Northern California
transaction in 2008, the Company owns three properties and two land parcels in Northern California.
As a result, the California North and the California South segments, effective as of the
fourth quarter of 2008, are combined into the California segment. The Company has restated the
corresponding items of segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to conform to
the new presentation.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved from time to time in litigation on various matters, including disputes with
tenants and disputes arising out of agreements to purchase or sell properties. Given the nature of
the Companys business activities, these lawsuits are considered routine to the conduct of its
business. The result of any particular lawsuit cannot be predicted, because of the very nature of
litigation, the litigation process and its adversarial nature, and the jury system. The Company
does not expect that the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions
will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations
or cash flows of the Company.
Environmental
As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state,
and local governments. The Companys compliance with existing laws has not had a material adverse
effect on its financial condition and results of operations, and the Company does not believe it
will have a material adverse effect in the future. However, the Company cannot predict the impact
of unforeseen environmental contingencies or new or changed laws or regulations on its current
Properties or on properties that the Company may acquire.
Ground Rent
Future minimum rental payments under the terms of all non-cancelable ground leases under which the
Company is the lessee are expensed on a straight-line basis regardless of when payments are due.
Minimum future rental payments on non-cancelable leases at March 31, 2009 are as follows (in
thousands):

Certain of the land leases provide for prepayment of rent on a present value basis using a fixed
discount rate. Further, certain of the land leases for properties (currently under development)
provide for contingent rent participation by the lessor in certain capital transactions and net
operating cash flows of the property after certain returns are achieved by the Company. Such
amounts, if any, will be reflected as contingent rent when incurred. The leases also provide for
payment by the Company of certain operating costs relating to the land, primarily real estate
taxes. The above schedule of future minimum rental payments does not include any contingent rent
amounts nor any reimbursed expenses.
Other Commitments or Contingencies
As part of the Companys September 2004 acquisition of a portfolio of properties from The
Rubenstein Company (which the Company refers to as the TRC acquisition), the Company acquired its
interest in Two Logan Square, a 702,006 square foot office building in Philadelphia, primarily
through its ownership of a second and third mortgage secured by this property. This property is
consolidated as the borrower is a variable interest entity and the Company, through its ownership
of the second and third mortgages, is the primary beneficiary. The Company currently does not
expect to take title to Two Logan Square until, at the earliest, September 2019. If the Company
takes fee title to Two Logan Square upon a foreclosure of its mortgage, the Company has agreed to
pay an unaffiliated third party that holds a residual interest in the fee owner of this property an
amount equal to $0.6 million (if we must pay a state and local transfer upon taking title) and $2.9
million (if no transfer tax is payable upon the transfer).
The Company is currently being audited by the Internal Revenue Service for its 2004 tax year. The
audit concerns the tax treatment of the transaction in September 2004 in which the Company acquired
a portfolio of properties through the acquisition of a limited partnership. At this time it does
not appear that an adjustment would result in a material tax liability for the Company. However,
an adjustment could raise a question as to whether a contributor of partnership interests in the
2004 transaction could assert a claim against the Company under the tax protection agreement
entered into as part of the transaction.
As part of the Companys 2006 acquisition of Prentiss Properties Trust, the TRC acquisition in 2004
and several of our other transactions, the Company agreed not to sell certain of the properties it
acquired in transactions that would trigger taxable income to the former owners. In the case of
the TRC acquisition, the Company agreed not to sell acquired properties for periods up to 15 years
from the acquisition date as follows: 201 King of Prussia Road, 555 East Lancaster Avenue and 300
Delaware Avenue (January 2008); One Rodney Square and 130/150/170 Radnor Financial Center (January
2015); and One Logan Square, Two Logan Square and Radnor Corporate Center (January 2020). In the
Prentiss acquisition, the Company assumed the obligation of Prentiss not to sell Concord Airport
Plaza before March 2018 and 6600 Rockledge before July 2008. The Company also agreed not to sell
14 other properties that contain an aggregate of 1.2 million square feet for periods that expire by
the end of 2008. The Companys agreements generally provide that it may dispose of the subject
properties only in transactions that qualify as tax-free exchanges under Section 1031 of the
Internal Revenue Code or in other tax deferred transactions. If the Company were to sell a
restricted property before expiration of the restricted period in a non-exempt transaction, the
Company may be required to make significant payments to the parties who sold it the applicable
property on account of tax liabilities attributed to them.
The Company invests in its properties and regularly incurs capital expenditures in the ordinary
course to maintain the properties. The Company believes that such expenditures enhance our
competitiveness. The Company also enters into construction, utility and service contracts in the
ordinary course of business which may extend beyond one year. These contracts typically provide
for cancellation with insignificant or no cancellation penalties.

During 2008, in connection with our development of the PO Box/IRS and Cira Garage projects, we
entered into a historic tax credit and new market tax credit arrangement, respectively. The
Company is required to be in compliance with various laws, regulations and contractual provisions
that apply to its historic and new market tax credit arrangements. Non-compliance with applicable
requirements could result in projected tax benefits not being realized and require a refund or
reduction of investor capital contributions, which are reported as deferred income in the Companys
consolidated balance sheet, until such time as its obligation to deliver tax benefits is relieved.
The remaining compliance periods for its tax credit arrangements runs through 2015. The Company
does not anticipate that any material refunds or reductions of investor capital contributions will
be required in connection with these arrangements. Refer to Note 13 for further discussion on the
tax credit transactions.
16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 1, 2009, the Company closed an $89.8 million first mortgage financing on Two Logan Square,
a 702,006 square foot office property located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The new loan features
a 7.57% interest rate and a seven-year term with three years of interest only payments with
principal payments based on a thirty-year amortization schedule. $68.6 million was used to repay
without penalty the balance of the former Two Logan Square first mortgage loan and $21.2 million
was used for general corporate purposes including the repayment of existing indebtedness.
On April 29, 2009, the Company sold an office property containing 122,543 net rentable square feet
located in Bethesda, MD, for a sales price of $26.5 million.

BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P. (the Partnership) is the entity through which Brandywine
Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the Company), a self-administered and
self-managed real estate investment trust, conducts its business and own its assets. The
Partnerships activities include acquiring, developing, redeveloping, leasing and managing office
and industrial properties. The Companys common shares of beneficial interest are publicly traded
on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol BDN. As of March 31, 2009, the
Partnership owned 211 office properties, 22 industrial facilities and one mixed-use property
(collectively, the Properties) containing an aggregate of approximately 23.5 million net rentable
square feet. The Partnership also has two properties under development and six properties under
redevelopment containing an aggregate 2.3 million net rentable square feet. As of March 31, 2009,
the Partnership consolidates three office properties owned by real estate ventures containing 0.4
million net rentable square feet. Therefore, the Company owns and consolidates 245 properties with
an aggregate of 26.2 million net rentable square feet. As of March 31, 2009, the Company owned
economic interests in 13 unconsolidated real estate ventures that contain approximately 4.3 million
net rentable square feet (collectively, the Real Estate Ventures). The Properties and the
properties owned by the Real Estate Ventures are located in or near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
Metropolitan Washington, D.C., Southern and Central New Jersey, Richmond, Virginia, Wilmington,
Delaware, Austin, Texas and Oakland, Carlsbad and Rancho Bernardo, California. The Company is the
sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of March 31, 2008, owned a 96.1% interest
in the Operating Partnership. The Partnership conducts its third-party real estate management
services business primarily through wholly-owned management company subsidiaries.
As of March 31, 2009, the management company subsidiaries were managing properties containing an
aggregate of approximately 36.9 million net rentable square feet, of which approximately 25.8
million net rentable square feet related to Properties owned by the Partnership and approximately
11.1 million net rentable square feet related to properties owned by third parties and Real Estate
Ventures.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Partnership pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting solely of normal recurring matters) for a fair statement of the financial position of
the Partnership as of March 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the three-month periods
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 and its cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009
and 2008 have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. These consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Partnerships consolidated financial statements and
footnotes included in the Partnerships 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March
2, 2009.
Reclassifications and Revisions
During the year ended December 31, 2008 the Partnership identified certain instances dating back to
1998 in which the Partnership canceled, upon the vesting of restricted shares, a portion of such
shares in settlement of employee tax withholdings in excess of minimum statutory rates. As a
result, the Partnership has changed the classification of the affected restricted share grants from
equity to liability awards (the tax withholding adjustment) in accordance with FASB Statement No.
123(R), Share-Based Payment (FAS 123(R)), and its predecessors. For the three month period ended
March 31, 2008, general and administrative expenses decreased by $(0.1) million for the tax
withholding
adjustment. For the three month period ended March 31, 2008, the tax withholding adjustment
changed the distributions paid to shareholders on the Partnerships consolidated statements of cash
flows by $0.1 million.

BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
Certain amounts have been reclassified in prior years to conform to the current year presentation.
The reclassifications are primarily due to the treatment of sold properties as discontinued
operations on the statement of operations for all periods presented and the adoption of new
accounting pronouncements.
See Accounting Pronouncements Adopted January 1, 2009 on a Retrospective Basis and Accounting
Pronouncements Adopted January 1, 2009 on a Prospective Basis for details pertaining to the
changes to prior periods resulting from the adoption of new accounting pronouncements.
Principles of Consolidation
When the Partnership obtains an economic interest in an entity, the Partnership evaluates the
entity to determine if the entity is deemed a variable interest entity (VIE), and if the
Partnership is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, in accordance with FASB Interpretation No.
46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46R). When an entity is not deemed to be
a VIE, the Partnership considers the provisions of EITF 04-05, Determining Whether a General
Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When
the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights (EITF 04-05). The Partnership consolidates (i)
entities that are VIEs and of which the Partnership is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and
(ii) entities that are non-VIEs which the Partnership controls and the limited partners neither
have the ability to dissolve the entity or remove the Partnership without cause nor any substantive
participating rights. Entities that the Partnership accounts for under the equity method (i.e., at
cost, increased or decreased by the Partnerships share of earnings or losses, plus contributions,
less distributions) include (i) entities that are VIEs and of which the Partnership is not deemed
to be the primary beneficiary (ii) entities that are non-VIEs which the Partnership does not
control, but over which the Partnership has the ability to exercise significant influence and (iii)
entities that are non-VIEs that the Partnership controls through its general partner status, but
the limited partners in the entity have the substantive ability to dissolve the entity or remove
the Partnership without cause or have substantive participating rights. The Partnership will
reconsider its determination of whether an entity is a VIE and who the primary beneficiary is, and
whether or not the limited partners in an entity have substantive rights, if certain events occur
that are likely to cause a change in the original determinations. The portion of these entities
not owned by the Partnership is presented as minority interest as of and during the periods
consolidated. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management makes significant
estimates regarding revenue, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts and
deferred costs.
Operating Properties
Operating properties are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses. The cost of operating properties reflects their purchase price or development cost. Costs
incurred for the acquisition and renovation of an operating property are capitalized to the
Partnerships investment in that property. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as
incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are
capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Fully-depreciated assets are
removed from the accounts.
Purchase Price Allocation
The Partnership allocates the purchase price of properties to net tangible and identified
intangible assets acquired based on fair values. Above-market and below-market in-place lease
values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate
which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference
41
BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) the
Partnerships estimate of the fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases,
measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. Capitalized
above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining
non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market lease values are amortized
as an increase to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases,
including any below market fixed-rate renewal periods.
Other intangible assets also include amounts representing the value of tenant relationships and
in-place leases based on the Partnerships evaluation of the specific characteristics of each
tenants lease and the Partnerships overall relationship with the respective tenant. The
Partnership estimates the cost to execute leases with terms similar to the remaining lease terms of
the in-place leases, including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. This
intangible asset is amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases.
Partnership estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent
appraisers or by using independent appraisals. Factors considered by the Partnership in this
analysis include an estimate of the carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering
current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the
Partnership includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of
lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, which primarily range from three
to twelve months. The Partnership also considers information obtained about each property as a
result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the
fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Partnership also uses the
information obtained as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence as part of its consideration
of FIN 47 Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (FIN 47) and when necessary,
will record a conditional asset retirement obligation as part of its purchase price.
Characteristics considered by the Partnership in allocating value to its tenant relationships
include the nature and extent of the Partnerships business relationship with the tenant, growth
prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenants credit quality and expectations
of lease renewals, among other factors. The value of tenant relationship intangibles is amortized
over the remaining initial lease term and expected renewals, but in no event longer than the
remaining depreciable life of the building. The value of in-place leases is amortized over the
remaining non-cancelable term of the respective leases and any below market fixed-rate renewal
periods.
In the event that a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of each intangible,
including market rate adjustments (above or below), in-place lease values and tenant relationship
values, would be charged to expense and market rate adjustments would be recorded to revenue.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144 (SFAS 144), Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets as
held-for-sale, broadens the scope of businesses to be disposed of that qualify for reporting as
discontinued operations and changes the timing of recognizing losses on such operations.
The Company reviews long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an
estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) expected to result from
the long-lived assets use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such as
expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of
leasing demand, competition and other factors. If impairment exists due to the inability to
recover the carrying value of a long-lived asset, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that
the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair-value of the property. The Company is required to
make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the values of the investments in
long-lived assets. These assessments have a direct impact on its net income because recording an
impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income. The evaluation of
anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future
occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results
in future periods. Although the Companys strategy is generally to hold its properties over the
long-term, the Company will dispose of properties to meet its liquidity needs or for other
strategic
42
BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
needs. If the Companys strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale
date, an impairment loss may be recognized to reduce the property to the lower of the carrying
amount or fair value less costs to sell, and such loss could be material. If the Company
determines that impairment has occurred, the affected assets must be reduced to their fair-value.
Where properties have been identified as having a potential for sale, additional judgments are
required related to the determination as to the appropriate period over which the undiscounted cash
flows should include the operating cash flows and the amount included as the estimated residual
value. Management determines the amounts to be included based on a probability weighted cash flow.
This requires significant judgment. In some cases, the results of whether an impairment is
indicated are sensitive to changes in assumptions input into the estimates, including the hold
period until expected sale.
At March 31, 2009, during the Companys impairment review, it determined that one of the properties
tested for impairment under the held and used model had a historical cost greater than the
probability weighted undiscounted cash flows. Accordingly, the recorded amount was reduced to an
amount based on managements estimate of the current fair value.
Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue is recognized on the straight-line basis from the later of the date of the
commencement of the lease or the date of acquisition of the property subject to existing leases,
which averages minimum rents over the terms of the leases. The straight-line rent adjustment
increased revenue by approximately $1.1 million and $6.1 million for the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008. Deferred rents on the balance sheet represent rental revenue received
prior to their due dates and amounts paid by the tenant for certain improvements considered to be
landlord assets that will remain the Partnerships property at the end of the tenants lease term.
The amortization of the amounts paid by the tenant for such improvements is calculated on a
straight-line basis over the term of the tenants lease and is a component of straight-line rental
income and increased revenue by $0.8 million and $0.5 million for the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008. Leases also typically provide for tenant reimbursement of a portion of
common area maintenance and other operating expenses to the extent that a tenants pro rata share
of expenses exceeds a base year level set in the lease or to the extent that the tenant has a lease
on a triple net basis. Termination fees received from tenants, bankruptcy settlement fees, third
party management fees, labor reimbursement and leasing income are recorded when earned.
Stock-Based Compensation Plans
The Partnership maintains a shareholder-approved equity-incentive plan known as the Amended and
Restated 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 1997 Plan). The 1997 Plan is administered by the
Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of Trustees. Under the 1997 Plan, the Compensation
Committee is authorized to award equity and equity-based awards, including incentive stock options,
non-qualified stock options, restricted shares and performance-based shares. As of March 31, 2009,
3.3 million common shares remained available for future awards under the 1997 Plan. Through March
31, 2009, all options awarded under the 1997 Plan had a one to ten-year term.
The Partnership recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1.0 million and $1.2 million during
the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and such amounts are included
in general and administrative expense on the Partnerships consolidated income statement in the
respective periods.
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Partnership accounts for its derivative instruments and hedging activities under SFAS No. 133
(SFAS 133), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and its corresponding
amendments under SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
An Amendment of SFAS 133. SFAS 133 requires the Partnership to measure every derivative
instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) at fair value and
record them in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability. See disclosures below
43
BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
related to the Partnerships adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, the changes in fair value of
both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. For derivatives
designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the
derivative are reported in other comprehensive income. The ineffective portions of hedges are
recognized in earnings in the current period.
The Partnership actively manages its ratio of fixed-to-floating rate debt. To manage its fixed and
floating rate debt in a cost-effective manner, the Partnership, from time to time, enters into
interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges, under which it agrees to exchange various
combinations of fixed and/or variable interest rates based on agreed upon notional amounts.
Fair Value Measurements
The Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS 157) as amended by FASB Staff Position SFAS 157-1, Application of FASB
Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair
Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13 (FSP
FAS 157-1) and FASB Staff Position SFAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (FSP
FAS 157-2). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP
and provides for expanded disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is applied
prospectively, including to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value
measurements. FSP FAS 157-1 amends SFAS 157 to exclude from the scope of SFAS 157 certain leasing
transactions accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, Accounting
for Leases for purposes of measurements and classifications. FSP FAS 157-2 amends SFAS 157 to
defer the effective date of SFAS 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities
except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a
recurring basis to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Accordingly, the Partnership
adopted SFAS 157 for non-financial assets effective January 1, 2009.
SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to
transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS 157
also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable
inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard
describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Financial assets and
liabilities recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the
valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
that the Partnership has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices
included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as
well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as
interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted
intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which is typically
based on an entitys own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity or
information. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs
from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within
which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Partnerships assessment of the
significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment,
and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. SFAS 157 was applied to the
Partnerships outstanding derivatives and available-for-sale-securities effective January 1, 2008
and to all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities effective January 1, 2009.
The following table sets forth the Partnerships financial and non-financial assets and liabilities
that were accounted for, at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2009:

The adoption of SFAS 157 under FSP FAS 157-2 did not have a material impact on the Partnerships
financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Non-financial assets and liabilities recorded
at fair value on a non-recurring basis to which the Partnership would apply SFAS 157 where a
measurement was required under fair value would include:
| Non-financial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in an acquisition or business combination that are not re-measured at least annually at fair value, | ||
| Long-lived assets measured at fair value due to an impairment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and | ||
| Asset retirement obligations initially measured at fair value under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. |
Income Taxes
In general, the Partnership is not subject to federal and state income taxes, and accordingly, no
provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The
partners of the Partnership are required
45
BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
to include their respective share of the Partnerships profits or losses in their respective tax
returns. The Partnerships tax returns and the amount of allocable Partnership profits and losses
are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. If such examination results in
changes to Partnership profits or losses, then the tax liability of the partners would be changed
accordingly.
The Partnership has elected to treat several of its subsidiaries as real estate investment trusts
(each a REIT) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. As a result, each subsidiary REIT
generally is not subject to federal and state income taxation at the corporate level to the extent
it distributes annually at least 100% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and satisfies
certain other organizational and operational requirements. Each subsidiary REIT has met these
requirements and, accordingly, no provision has been made for federal and state income taxes in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. If any subsidiary REIT fails to qualify as a REIT
in any taxable year, that subsidiary REIT will be subject to federal and state income taxes and may
not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Also, each subsidiary REIT
may be subject to certain local income taxes.
The Partnership has elected to treat several of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (each
a TRS). A TRS is subject to federal, state and local income tax.
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted January 1, 2009 on a Retrospective Basis
Effective January 1, 2009, the Partnership adopted the FASB Staff Position APB 14-1 Accounting for
Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash
Settlement) (FSP APB 14-1). This new standard requires the initial proceeds from convertible
debt that may be settled in cash to be bifurcated between a liability component and an equity
component. The objective of the guidance is to require the liability and equity components of
convertible debt to be separately accounted for in a manner such that the interest expense recorded
on the convertible debt would not equal the contractual rate of interest on the convertible debt,
but instead would be recorded at
a rate that would reflect the issuers conventional debt borrowing rate. This is accomplished
through the creation of a discount on the debt that would be accreted using the effective interest
method as additional non-cash interest expense over the period the debt is expected to remain
outstanding (i.e. through the first optional redemption date). The provisions of FSP APB 14-1 were
adopted on January 1, 2009 and applied retrospectively.
FSP APB 14-1 impacted the Partnerships accounting for its 3.875% Exchangeable Notes and has a
material impact on the Partnerships consolidated financial statements and results of operations.
The principal liability outstanding was $275.5 million at March 31, 2009 and $282.3 million at
December 31, 2008. At certain times and upon certain events, the notes are exchangeable for cash
up to their principal amount and, with respect to the remainder, if any, of the exchange value in
excess of such principal amount, cash or common shares. The initial exchange rate is 25.4065
shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes (which is equivalent to an initial exchange price of
$39.36 per share). The carrying amount of the equity component was $11.1 million at March 31, 2009
and $12.2 million at December 31, 2008. The debt discount of the liability will be amortized
through October 15, 2011. The effective interest rate at March 31, 2009 and 2008 was 5.5%. The
Partnership recognized $2.7 million and $3.3 million of contractual coupon interest during the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During the three-month periods
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Partnership recognized $1.0 million of interest on amortization
of the debt discount. The application of FSP APB 14-1 resulted in an aggregate of approximately
$3.9 million (net of incremental capitalized interest) of additional non-cash interest expense
retrospectively applied for fiscal 2008. Excluding the impact of capitalized interest, the
additional non-cash interest expense was approximately $4.3 million for fiscal 2008, and this
amount (before netting) increased in subsequent reporting periods through the first optional
redemption dates as the debt accretes to its par value over the same period. The application of
FSP APB 14-1 required the Partnership to reduce the amount of gain recognized on early
extinguishment of debt in the twelve-months ended December 31, 2008 by approximately $2.6 million.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Partnership adopted the FASB Staff Position EITF No. 03-6-1,
Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating
Securities (FSP EITF 03-6-1). This new standard requires that non-vested share-based payment
awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents be treated as
participating securities in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-
46
BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 was applied retrospectively to all periods presented for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008. FSP EITF 03-6-1 required the Partnership to include the
impact of its unvested restricted shares in earnings per share using this more dilutive
methodology. The face of the Partnerships consolidated statement of operations and earnings per
share disclosure (See Note 11) has been updated to reflect the adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 and are
presented as amounts allocated to unvested restricted shareholders.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Partnership adopted the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Accounting for
Non-controlling Interests (SFAS No. 160). Under this statement, non-controlling interests are
presented as a component of consolidated shareholders equity unless these interests are considered
redeemable. Also, under SFAS No. 160, net income will encompass the total income of all
consolidated subsidiaries and there will be separate disclosure on the face of the income statement
of the attribution of that income between controlling and non-controlling interests. Lastly,
increases and decreases in non-controlling interests will be treated as equity transactions. The
face of the Partnerships consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations and statements of
other comprehensive income has been updated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 160. SFAS No. 160
did not have material impact on the Partnerships financial position or results of operations. The
Partnership also adopted the recent revisions on EITF Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement
of Redeemable Securities, which became effective upon its adoption of SFAS 160. As a result of
the Partnerships adoption of these standards, amounts are now presented as non-controlling
interests in consolidated real estate ventures within equity (amounts were nominal as December 31,
2008). There has been no change in the measurement of this line item from amounts previously
reported. Limited partnership units have been included
in the mezzanine section (between liability and equity) on the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets. These units are redeemable by the holders for the cash equivalent thereof or
at the Companys option, a like number of unregistered common shares of the Company. Historically we have recorded the redeemable
partnership units at their redemption amount (fair value) as of the balance sheet date. In
accordance with Topic D-98 the redeemable partnership units should be adjusted to the maximum
redemption amount at each balance sheet date, however it is not appropriate to reduce the amounts
below a certain floor. The units should not be recorded at less than the original issue value of
the units adjusted for income allocation and distributions. The revised presentation and floor
measurement required by SFAS 160 and D-98 have been adopted
retrospectively.
In accordance with the Partnerships retrospective adoption of FSP APB 14-1 and D-98, the December
31, 2008 balance sheet herein has been revised as follows:

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted January 1, 2009 on a Prospective Basis
Effective January 1, 2009, the Partnership adopted the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 161 Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
(SFAS 161). This new standard enhances
47
BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
disclosure requirements for derivative instruments in order to provide users of financial
statements with an enhanced understanding of (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments,
(ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and its
related interpretations and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an
entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is to be applied
prospectively for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after November 15, 2008. See
Note 8 for further discussion.
In April 2008, the FASB Staff Position 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible
Assets (FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 is to be applied prospectively for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. The Partnership has not entered into any acquisition transactions during the
quarter ended March 31, 2009, therefore the adoption of FSP 142-3 did not have a material impact on
the Partnerships consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS
141(R)), which establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer shall recognize and
measure in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, any
non-controlling interest in the acquiree and goodwill
acquired in a business combination. This statement is effective for business combinations for
which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Partnership did not complete any acquisitions during
the quarter ended March 31, 2009, therefore adoption of SFAS 141(R) has not yet impacted the
Partnership.
New Pronouncements
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments (FSP FAS 107-1). FSP FAS 107-1 amends SFAS No. 107 to require disclosures
about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded
companies in addition to the annual financial statements. FSP FAS 107-1 also amends APB No. 28 to
require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP
FAS 107-1 is effective for interim periods ending after June 30, 2009. Prior period presentation
is not required for comparative purposes at initial adoption. The Partnership does not expect the
adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 on April 1, 2009 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP Financial Accounting Standard 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition
and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2). FSP FAS
115-2 and FAS 124-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt
securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of
other-than temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. FSP
FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after June 15,
2009. The Partnership does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 on July 1, 2009
to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of
Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That
are Not Orderly ( FSP FAS 157-4). FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair
value in accordance with SFAS No. 157 when the volume and level of activity for both financial and
nonfinancial assets or liabilities have significantly decreased. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for
fiscal years and interim periods beginning after June 15, 2009 and shall be applied prospectively.
Early adoption for periods ending before March 15, 2009, is not permitted. The Partnership does
not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 on June 15, 2009 to have a material impact on its
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
3. REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS
As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 the gross carrying value of the Partnerships operating
properties was as follows (amounts in thousands):

Acquisitions and Dispositions
The Partnerships acquisitions are accounted for by the purchase method in accordance with SFAS
141(R). The results of each acquired property are included in the Partnerships results of
operations from their respective purchase dates. The Partnership did not complete any acquisitions
during the periods covered in these financial statements.
On March 16, 2009, the Partnership sold 305 Harper Drive, a 14,980 net rentable square feet office
property located in Moorestown, New Jersey, for a sales price of $1.1 million.
On February 4, 2009 the Partnership sold two office properties, totaling 66,664 net rentable square
feet in Exton, Pennsylvania, for an aggregate sales price of $9.0 million.
All sales above are included within discontinued operations.
4. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED VENTURES
As of March 31, 2009, the Partnership had an aggregate investment of approximately $86.1 million in
its 13 unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures. The Partnership formed these ventures with
unaffiliated third parties, or acquired them, to develop office properties or to acquire land in
anticipation of possible development of office properties. Ten of the Real Estate Ventures own 44
office buildings that contain an aggregate of approximately 4.3 million net rentable square feet,
one Real Estate Venture developed a hotel property that contains 137 rooms in Conshohocken, PA and
one Real Estate Venture constructed and sold condominiums in Charlottesville, VA.
The Partnership accounts for its unconsolidated interests in its Real Estate Ventures using the
equity method. Unconsolidated interests range from 5% to 50%, subject to specified priority
allocations in certain of the Real Estate Ventures.
The amounts reflected in the following tables (except for the Partnerships share of equity and
income) are based on the historical financial information of the individual Real Estate Ventures.
One of the Real Estate Ventures, acquired in connection with the Prentiss Properties Trust merger
in 2006, had a negative equity balance on a historical cost basis as a result of historical
depreciation and distribution of excess financing proceeds. The Partnership reflected its
acquisition of this Real Estate Venture interest at its relative fair value as of the date of the
purchase of Prentiss. The difference between allocated cost and the underlying equity in the net
assets of the investee is accounted for as if the entity were consolidated (i.e., allocated to the
Partnerships relative share of assets and liabilities with an adjustment to recognize equity in
earnings for the appropriate additional depreciation/amortization). The Partnership does not
record operating losses of the Real Estate Ventures in excess of its investment balance unless the
Partnership is liable for the obligations of the Real Estate Venture or is otherwise committed to
provide financial support to the Real Estate Venture.
The following is a summary of the financial position of the Real Estate Ventures as of March 31,
2009 and December 31, 2008 (in thousands):

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Partnership repurchased $6.5 million of 3.875%

52
BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
Partnership accelerated amortization of the related
deferred financing costs of $0.1 million. The gain on early extinguishment of debt is inclusive of
adjustments made to reflect the Partnerships adoption of FSP APB 14-1.
The Partnership utilizes credit facility borrowings for general business purposes, including the
acquisition, development and redevelopment of properties and the repayment of other debt. The
maturity date of the $600 million Credit Facility (the Credit Facility) is June 29, 2011 (subject
to an extension of one year, at the Partnerships option, upon its payment of an extension fee
equal to 15 basis points of the committed amount under the Credit Facility). The per annum
variable interest rate on outstanding balances is Eurodollar plus 0.725%. The interest rate and
facility fee are subject to adjustment upon a change in the Partnerships unsecured debt ratings.
The Partnership has the option to increase the Credit Facility to $800.0 million subject to the
absence of any defaults and the Partnerships ability to acquire additional commitments from its
existing lenders or new lenders. As of March 31, 2009, the Partnership had $200.0 million of
borrowings, $15.1 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility, and a $15.3
million holdback in connection with our historic tax credit transaction leaving $369.6 million of
unused availability. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the
weighted-average interest rate on the Credit Facility was 3.02% and 3.90% respectively. As of
March 31, 2009 and 2008, the weighted average interest rate on the Credit Facility was 1.27% and
3.69% respectively.
The Credit Facility requires the maintenance of ratios related to minimum net worth, debt-to-total
capitalization and fixed charge coverage and includes non-financial covenants. The Partnership was
in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2009.
In April 2007, the Partnership entered into a $20.0 million Sweep Agreement (the Sweep Agreement)
to be used for cash management purposes. Borrowings under the Sweep Agreement bear interest at
one-month LIBOR plus 0.75%.
As of March 31, 2009, the Partnership had no borrowings outstanding under the Sweep Agreement,
leaving $20.0 million of unused availability. In April 2008, the Sweep Agreement was extended
until April 2009 at which point the agreement was not renewed.
As of March 31, 2009, the Partnerships aggregate scheduled principal payments of debt obligations,

8. RISK MANAGEMENT AND USE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Risk Management
Deteriorating economic conditions have resulted in a reduction of the availability of financing and
higher borrowing costs. These factors, coupled with a slowing economy, have reduced the volume of
real estate transactions and created credit stresses on most businesses. The Partnership believes
that vacancy rates may increase through 2009 and possibly beyond as the current economic climate
negatively impacts tenants in the Properties, or other counter parties such as the counter parties
in our derivative contracts.
The Partnership expects that the impact of the current state of the economy, including rising
unemployment and the unprecedented volatility and illiquidity in the financial and credit markets,
will continue to have a dampening effect on the fundamentals of its business, including increases
in past due accounts, tenant defaults, lower occupancy and reduced

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
effective rents. These
conditions would negatively affect the Partnerships future net income and cash flows and could
have a material adverse effect on its financial condition. In addition to the financial
constraints on our tenants, many of the debt capital markets that the Partnership and other real
estate companies frequently access, such as the unsecured bond market and the convertible debt
market, are not currently available on terms that management believes are economically attractive
or at all. Although management believes that the quality of the Partnerships assets and its
strong balance sheet will enable the Partnership to raise debt capital from other sources such as
traditional term or secured loans from banks, pension funds and life insurance companies, these
sources are lending fewer dollars, under stricter terms and at higher borrowing rates, and there
can be no assurance that the Partnership will be able to borrow funds on terms that are
economically attractive or at all. As of March 31, 2009, the Partnership has maturing debt of
$228.0 million in 2009 and $491.1 million in 2010 (Note 7). These amounts do not include the
Credit Facility or the Bank Term Loan as those loans can be extended until 2012 at the
Partnerships discretion. Management is focused on continuing to enhance the Partnerships
liquidity and strengthening its balance sheet through capital retention, targeted sales activity
and management of existing and prospective liabilities. The Partnership intends to improve
liquidity (and refinance maturing debt) through a combination of secured mortgages and selective
asset sales.
The Partnerships Credit Facility, Bank Term Loan and the indenture governing the unsecured public
debt securities (Note 7) contain restrictions, requirements and other limitations on the ability to
incur indebtedness, including total debt to asset ratios, secured debt to total asset ratios, debt
service coverage ratios and minimum ratios of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt which it must
maintain. The ability to borrow under the Credit Facility is subject to compliance with such
financial and other covenants. In the event that the Partnership fails to satisfy these covenants,
it would be in default under the Credit Facility, the Bank Term Loan and the indenture and may be
required to repay such debt with capital from other sources. Under such circumstances, other
sources of capital may not be available, or may be available only on unattractive terms.
Availability of borrowings under the Credit Facility is subject to a traditional material adverse
effect clause. Each time the Partnership borrows it must represent to the lenders that there have
been no events of a nature which would have a material adverse effect on the business, assets,
operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Partnership taken as a whole or
which could negatively effect the ability of the Partnership to perform its obligations under the
Credit Facility. While the Partnership believes that there are currently no material adverse
effect events, the Partnership is operating in unprecedented economic times and it is possible that
such events could arise which would limit the Partnerships borrowings under the Credit Facility.
If an event occurs which is considered to have a material adverse effect, the lenders could
consider the Partnership in default under the terms of the Credit Facility and the borrowings under
the Credit Facility would become due and payable. If the Partnership is unable to obtain a waiver,
this would have a material adverse effect on the Partnerships financial position and results of
operations.
The Partnership was in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2009. Management
continuously monitors the Partnerships compliance with and anticipated compliance with the
covenants. Certain of the covenants restrict managements ability to obtain alternative sources of
capital. While the Partnership currently believes it will remain in compliance with its covenants,
in the event of a continued slow-down and continued crisis in the credit markets, the Partnership
may not be able to remain in compliance with such covenants and if the lender would not provide a
waiver, it could result in an event of default.
Use of Derivative Financial Instruments
The Partnerships use of derivative instruments is limited to the utilization of interest rate
agreements or other instruments to manage interest rate risk exposures and not for speculative
purposes. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs
associated with the Partnerships operating and financial structure, as well as to hedge specific
transactions. The counterparties to these arrangements are major financial institutions with
which the Partnership and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships. The
Partnership is potentially exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by these
counterparties. However, because of the high credit ratings of the counterparties, the Partnership
does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet these obligations as they come
due. The Partnership does not hedge credit or property value market risks through derivative
financial instruments.
54
BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
The Partnership formally assesses, both at inception of the hedge and on an on-going basis, whether
each derivative is highly-effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. If
management determines that a derivative is not highly-effective as a hedge or if a derivative
ceases to be a highly-effective hedge, the Partnership will discontinue hedge accounting
prospectively. The related ineffectiveness would be charged to the Statement of Operations.
The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques
including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This
analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and
uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The
fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting
the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash
payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of
future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.
To comply with the provisions of SFAS No. 157, the Partnership incorporates credit valuation
adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective
counterpartys nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of
its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Partnership has considered the
impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds,
mutual puts, and guarantees.
Although the Partnership has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its
derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments
associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads
to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of March 31,
2009, the Partnership has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation
adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit
valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a
result, the Partnership has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are
classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following table summarizes the terms and fair values of the Partnerships derivative financial
instruments at March 31, 2009. The notional amounts at March 31, 2009 provide an indication of the
extent of the Partnerships involvement in these instruments at that time, but do not represent
exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of tenants related to the Partnerships
investments or rental operations are engaged in similar business activities, or are located in the
same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their inability to meet
contractual obligations, including those to the Partnership, to be similarly affected. The
Partnership regularly monitors its tenant base to assess potential concentrations of credit risk.
55
BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
Management believes the current credit risk portfolio is reasonably well diversified and does not
contain any unusual concentration of credit risk. No tenant accounted for 5% or more of the
Partnerships rents during the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. Recent
developments in the general economy and the global credit markets have had a significant adverse
effect on companies in numerous industries. The Partnership has tenants concentrated in various
industries that may be experiencing adverse effects from the current economic conditions and the
Partnership could be adversely affected if such tenants go into default on their leases.

Discontinued operations have not been segregated in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Therefore, amounts for certain captions will not agree with respective data in the consolidated
statements of operations.
10. NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST PARTNERS SHARE OF CONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE VENTURES
As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Partnership owned interests in three consolidated
real estate ventures that own three office properties containing approximately 0.4 million net
rentable square feet. The Partnership is the primary beneficiary and these consolidated real
estate ventures are variable interest entities under FIN 46R.
The non-controlling interests associated with certain of the real estate ventures that have finite
lives under the terms of the partnership agreements represent mandatorily redeemable interests as
defined in SFAS 150. The aggregate amount related to these non-controlling interests classified
within equity is $0.1 million at March 31, 2009 and a nominal amount as of December 31, 2008. The
Partnership believes that the aggregate settlement value of these
interests was approximately $8.1
million and $9.1 million as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. This amount is
based on the estimated liquidation values of the assets and liabilities and the resulting proceeds
that the Partnership would distribute to its real estate venture partners upon dissolution, as
required under the terms of the respective partnership agreements. Subsequent changes to the
estimated liquidation values of the assets and liabilities of the consolidated real estate ventures
will affect the Partnerships estimate of the aggregate settlement value. The partnership
agreements do not limit the amount that the minority partners would be entitled to in the event of
liquidation of the assets and liabilities and dissolution of the respective partnerships.

April 15, 2009 to holders of Series D Preferred Mirror Units and Series E Preferred Mirror Units
totaled $0.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
Common Share Repurchases
The Partnership maintains a share repurchase program under which the Board has authorized us to
repurchase our common shares from time to time. The Board initially authorized this program in
1998 and has periodically replenished capacity under the program. On May 2, 2006 the Companys
Board restored capacity to 3.5 million common shares.
The Partnership did not repurchase any shares during the three month period ended March 31, 2009.
As of March 31, 2009, the Partnership may purchase an additional 0.5 million shares under the plan.
Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions, subject to market conditions and compliance with legal requirements. The share
repurchase program does not contain any time limitation and does not obligate the Partnership to
repurchase any shares. The Partnership may discontinue the program at any time.

As of March 31, 2009, 373,742 restricted shares were outstanding and vest over three to seven years
from the initial grant date. The remaining compensation expense to be recognized at March 31, 2009
was approximately $6.5 million. That expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average
remaining vesting period of 2.7 years. The Partnership recognized compensation expense related to
outstanding restricted shares of $0.4 million and $0.7 million during the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and such amounts are included in general and administrative

Outperformance Program
On August 28, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of Trustees adopted a
long-term incentive compensation program (the outperformance program). The Partnership will make
payments (in the form of common shares) to executive-participants under the outperformance program
only if the Partnerships total shareholder return exceeds percentage hurdles established under the
outperformance program. The dollar value of any payments will depend on the extent to which our
performance exceeds the hurdles. The Partnership established the outperformance program under the
1997 Plan.
If the total shareholder return (share price appreciation plus cash dividends) during a three-year
measurement period exceeds either of two hurdles (with one hurdle keyed to the greater of a fixed
percentage and an industry-based index, and the other hurdle keyed to a fixed percentage), then the
Partnership will fund an incentive compensation pool in accordance with a formula and make pay-outs
from the compensation pool in the form of vested and restricted common shares. The awards issued
are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123(R). The fair value of the awards on August 28, 2006,
as adjusted for estimated forfeitures, was approximately $5.6 million and will be amortized into
expense over the five-year period beginning on the date of grant using a graded vesting attribution
model. The fair value of $5.6 million on the date of the initial grant represents approximately
86.5% of the total that may be awarded; the remaining amount available will be valued when the
awards are granted to individuals. In January 2007, the Partnership awarded an additional 4.5%
under the outperformance program. The fair value of the additional award is $0.3 million and will
be amortized over the remaining portion of the 5 year period. On the date of each grant, the awards
were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation.
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Partnership recognized $0.3 million
and $0.4 million, respectively, of compensation expenses related to the outperformance program.
Employee Share Purchase Plan
59
BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
On May 9, 2007, the Companys shareholders approved the 2007 Non-Qualified Employee Share Purchase
Plan (the ESPP). The ESPP is intended to provide eligible employees with a convenient means to
purchase common shares of the Partnership through payroll deductions and voluntary cash purchases
at an amount equal to 85% of the average closing price per share for a specified period. Under the
plan document, the maximum participant contribution for the 2008 plan year is limited to the lesser
of 20% of compensation or $25,000. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP is
1.25 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, employees made purchases of $0.1 million
under the ESPP and the Company recognized a nominal amount of compensation expense related to the
ESPP. During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, employees made purchases of $0.1 million under the
ESPP and the Partnership recognized $0.1 million of compensation expense related to the ESPP. The
Board of Directors of the Company may terminate the ESPP at its sole discretion at anytime.
Deferred Compensation
In January 2005, the Company adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) that allows
directors and certain key employees to voluntarily defer compensation. Compensation expense is
recorded for the deferred compensation and a related liability is recognized. Participants may
elect designated investment options for the notational investment of their deferred compensation.
The deferred compensation obligation is adjusted for deemed income or loss related to the
investments selected. At the time the participants defer compensation, the Company records a
liability, which is included in the Companys consolidated balance sheet. The liability is
adjusted for changes in the market value of the participants selected investments at the end of
each accounting period, and the impact of adjusting the liability is recorded as an increase or
decrease to compensation cost. As of March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded a net reduction
in compensation costs of $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in connection with the Plan
due to the decline in market value of the participant investments in the Plan.
The deferred compensation obligations are unfunded, but the Company has purchased company-owned
life insurance policies which can be utilized as a future funding source for the obligations
related to the Plan. Participants in the Plan have no interest in any assets set aside by the
Company to meet its obligations under the deferral plan.
Participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) may elect to have all or a portion of
their deferred compensation invested in the Companys common shares. The Company holds these
shares in a rabbi trust, which is subject to the claims of the Companys creditors in the event of
the Companys bankruptcy or insolvency. The Plan does not provide for diversification of a
participants deferral allocated to the Company common share and deferrals allocated to Company
common share can only be settled with a fixed number of shares. In accordance with Emerging Issues
Task Force Issue 97-14, Accounting for Deferred Compensation Arrangements Where Amounts Earned Are
Held in A Rabbi Trust and Invested, the deferred compensation obligation associated with Company
common share is classified as a component of shareholders equity and the related shares are
treated as shares to be issued and are included in total shares outstanding. At March 31, 2009 and
2008, there were 0.2 million shares to be issued included in total shares outstanding. Subsequent
changes in the fair value of the common shares are not reflected in operations or shareholders
equity of the Company.
13. TAX CREDIT TRANSACTIONS
Historic Tax Credit Transaction
On November 17, 2008, the Partnership closed a transaction with US Bancorp (USB) related to the
historic rehabilitation of the 30th Street Post Office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Project),
an 862,692 square foot office building which is 100% pre-leased to the Internal Revenue Service
(expected commencement of the IRS lease is August 2010). USB has agreed to contribute approximately
$67.9 million of Project costs and advanced $10.2 million of that contemporaneously with the
closing of the transaction. The remaining funds will be advanced in 2009 and 2010 subject to the
Partnerships achievement of certain construction milestones and its compliance with the federal
rehabilitation regulations. In return for the investment, USB will, upon completion of the Project
in 2010, receive substantially all of the rehabilitation credits available under section 47 of the
Internal Revenue Code.

In exchange for its contributions into the Project, USB is entitled to substantially all of the
benefits derived from the tax credit, but does not have a material interest in the underlying
economics of the property. This transaction also includes a put/call provision whereby the
Partnership may be obligated or entitled to repurchase USBs interest in the Project. The
Partnership believes the put will be exercised and an amount attributed to that obligation is
included in other liabilities.
Based on the contractual arrangements that obligate the Partnership to deliver tax benefits and
provide other guarantees to USB and that entitle the Partnership through fee arrangements to
receive substantially all available cash flow from the Project, the Partnership concluded that the
Project should be consolidated in accordance with FIN 46R. The Partnership also concluded that
capital contributions received from USB, in substance, are consideration that the Partnership
receives in exchange for its obligation to deliver tax credits and other tax benefits to USB.
These receipts will be recognized as revenue in the consolidated financial statements beginning
when the obligation to USB is relieved upon delivery of the expected tax benefits net of any
associated costs. The USB contribution made during 2008 of $10.2 million is included in other
liabilities on the Partnerships consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2009 and December 31,
2008. The Partnership anticipates that upon completion of the Project in 2010 it will begin to
recognize the cash received as revenue as the five year credit recapture period expires as defined
in the Internal Revenue Code.
Direct and incremental costs incurred in structuring the arrangement are deferred and amortized in
proportion to the recognition of the related revenue. The deferred cost at March 31, 2009 is $2.5
million and is included in other assets on the Partnerships consolidated balance sheet.
New Markets Tax Credit Transaction
On December 30, 2008, the Partnership entered into a transaction with USB related to the Cira
Garage Project (garage project) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and expects to receive a net
benefit of $7.8 million under a qualified New Markets Tax Credit Program (NMTC). The NMTC was
provided for in the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 (the Act) and is intended to induce
investment capital in underserved and impoverished areas of the United States. The Act permits
taxpayers (whether companies or individuals) to claim credits against their Federal income taxes
for up to 39% of qualified investments in qualified, active low-income businesses or ventures.
USB contributed $13.3 million into the garage project and as such they are entitled to
substantially all of the benefits derived from the tax credit, but they do not have a material
interest in the underlying economics of the garage project. This transaction also includes a
put/call provision whereby the Partnership may be obligated or entitled to repurchase
USBs interest. The Partnership believes the put will be exercised and an amount attributed to
that obligation is included in other liabilities.
Based on the contractual arrangements that obligate the Partnership to deliver tax benefits and
provide various other guarantees to USB, the Partnership concluded that the project should be
consolidated in accordance with FIN 46R. Proceeds received in exchange for the transfer of the tax
credits will be recognized when the tax benefits are delivered without risk of recapture to the tax
credit investors and the Partnerships obligation is relieved. Accordingly, the USB contribution
of $13.3 million is included in other liabilities on the Partnerships consolidated balance sheet
at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
Direct and incremental costs incurred in structuring the arrangement are deferred and amortized
over the expected duration of the arrangement in proportion to the recognition of the related
revenue. The deferred asset at March 31, 2009 is $5.2 million and is included in other assets on
the Partnerships consolidated balance sheet.
The Partnership anticipates that it will recognize the net cash received as revenue in the year
ended December 31, 2014. The NMTC is subject to 100% recapture for a period of seven years.
14. SEGMENT INFORMATION
As of March 31, 2009, the Partnership manages its portfolio within six segments: (1) Pennsylvania,
(2) Metropolitan Washington D.C, (3) New Jersey/Delaware, (4) Richmond, Virginia, (5) California
and (6) Austin, Texas. The
61
BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
Pennsylvania segment includes properties in Chester, Delaware, Bucks, and Montgomery counties
in the Philadelphia suburbs and the City of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. The Metropolitan
Washington, D.C. segment includes properties in Northern Virginia and suburban Maryland. The New
Jersey/Delaware segment includes properties in counties in the southern and central part of New
Jersey including Burlington, Camden and Mercer counties and in the state of Delaware. The
Richmond, Virginia segment includes properties primarily in Albemarle, Chesterfield and Henrico
counties, the City of Richmond and Durham, North Carolina. The California segment includes
properties in Oakland, Concord, Carlsbad and Rancho Bernardo. The Austin, Texas segment includes
properties in Coppell and Austin. The corporate group is responsible for cash and investment
management, development of certain real estate properties during the construction period, and
certain other general support functions. Land held for development and construction in progress
are transferred to operating properties by region upon completion of the associated construction or
project.
The Austin, Texas segment was previously known as the Southwest segment. In order to provide
specificity and to reflect the disposition of properties in Dallas, Texas in 2007, the Partnership
now considers this segment to be Austin, Texas. The California segment was previously broken out
into CaliforniaNorth and CaliforniaSouth. Upon the completion of the Northern California
transaction in 2008, the Partnership owns three properties and two land parcels in Northern
California. As a result, the CaliforniaNorth and the CaliforniaSouth segments are now
combined into the California segment. The Partnership has restated the corresponding items of
segment information for earlier periods to conform to the new presentation.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
The Partnership is involved from time to time in litigation on various matters, including disputes
with tenants and disputes arising out of agreements to purchase or sell properties. Given the
nature of the Partnerships business activities, these lawsuits are considered routine to the
conduct of its business. The result of any particular lawsuit cannot be predicted, because of the
very nature of litigation, the litigation process and its adversarial nature, and the jury system.
The Partnership does not expect that the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such
legal actions will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results
of operations or cash flows of the Partnership.
Environmental
As an owner of real estate, the Partnership is subject to various environmental laws of federal,
state, and local governments. The Partnerships compliance with existing laws has not had a
material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations, and the Partnership
does not believe it will have a material adverse effect in the future. However, the Partnership
cannot predict the impact of unforeseen environmental contingencies or new or changed laws or
regulations on its current Properties or on properties that the Partnership may acquire.
Ground Rent
Future minimum rental payments under the terms of all non-cancelable ground leases under which the
Partnership is the lessee are expensed on a straight-line basis regardless of when payments are
due. Minimum future rental payments on non-cancelable leases at March 31, 2009 are as follows (in
thousands):

Certain of the land leases provide for prepayment of rent on a present value basis using a fixed
discount rate. Further, certain of the land leases for properties (currently under development)
provide for contingent rent participation by the lessor in certain capital transactions and net
operating cash flows of the property after certain returns are achieved by the Partnership. Such
amounts, if any, will be reflected as contingent rent when incurred. The leases also provide for
payment by the Partnership of certain operating costs relating to the land, primarily real estate
taxes. The above schedule of future minimum rental payments does not include any contingent rent
amounts nor any reimbursed expenses.
Other Commitments or Contingencies
As part of the Partnerships September 2004 acquisition of a portfolio of properties from The
Rubenstein Partnership (which the Partnership refers to as the TRC acquisition), the Partnership
acquired its interest in Two Logan Square, a 702,006 square foot office building in Philadelphia,
primarily through its ownership of a second and third mortgage secured by this property. This
property is consolidated as the borrower is a variable interest entity and the Partnership, through
its ownership of the second and third mortgages, is the primary beneficiary. The Partnership
currently does not expect to take title to Two Logan Square until, at the earliest, September 2019.
If the Partnership takes fee title to Two Logan Square upon a foreclosure of its mortgage, the
Partnership has agreed to pay an unaffiliated third party that holds a residual interest in the fee
owner of this property an amount equal to $0.6 million (if we must pay a state and local transfer
upon taking title) and $2.9 million (if no transfer tax is payable upon the transfer).
The Partnership is currently being audited by the Internal Revenue Service for its 2004 tax year.
The audit concerns the tax treatment of the transaction in September 2004 in which the Partnership
acquired a portfolio of properties through the acquisition of a limited partnership. At this time
it does not appear that an adjustment would result in a material tax liability for the Partnership.
However, an adjustment could raise a question as to whether a contributor of partnership interests
in the 2004 transaction could assert a claim against the Partnership under the tax protection
agreement entered into as part of the transaction.
As part of the Partnerships 2006 acquisition of Prentiss Properties Trust, the TRC acquisition in
2004 and several of our other transactions, the Partnership agreed not to sell certain of the
properties it acquired in transactions that would trigger taxable income to the former owners. In
the case of the TRC acquisition, the Partnership agreed not to sell acquired properties for periods
up to 15 years from the acquisition date as follows: 201 King of Prussia Road, 555 East Lancaster
Avenue and 300 Delaware Avenue (January 2008); One Rodney Square and 130/150/170 Radnor Financial
Center (January 2015); and One Logan Square, Two Logan Square and Radnor Corporate Center (January
2020). In the Prentiss acquisition, the Partnership assumed the obligation of Prentiss not to sell
Concord Airport Plaza before
March 2018 and 6600 Rockledge before July 2008. The Partnership also agreed not to sell 14 other
properties that contain an aggregate of 1.2 million square feet for periods that expire by the end
of 2008. The Partnerships agreements generally provide that it may dispose of the subject
properties only in transactions that qualify as tax-free exchanges under Section 1031 of the
Internal Revenue Code or in other tax deferred transactions. If the Partnership were to sell a
restricted property before expiration of the restricted period in a non-exempt transaction, the
Partnership may be required to make significant payments to the parties who sold it the applicable
property on account of tax liabilities attributed to them.
The Partnership invests in its properties and regularly incurs capital expenditures in the ordinary
course to maintain the properties. The Partnership believes that such expenditures enhance our
competitiveness. The Partnership also enters into construction, utility and service contracts in
the ordinary course of business which may extend beyond one year. These contracts typically
provide for cancellation with insignificant or no cancellation penalties.

BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009
During 2008, in connection with our development of the PO Box/IRS and Cira Garage projects, we
entered into a historic tax credit and new market tax credit arrangement, respectively. The
Partnership is required to be in compliance with various laws, regulations and contractual
provisions that apply to its historic and new market tax credit arrangements. Non-compliance with
applicable requirements could result in projected tax benefits not being realized and require a
refund or reduction of investor capital contributions, which are reported as deferred income in the
Partnerships consolidated balance sheet, until such time as its obligation to deliver tax benefits
is relieved. The remaining compliance periods for its tax credit arrangements runs through 2015.
The Partnership does not anticipate that any material refunds or reductions of investor capital
contributions will be required in connection with these arrangements. Refer to Note 13 for further
discussion on the tax credit transactions.
16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 1, 2009, the Partnership closed an $89.8 million first mortgage financing on Two Logan
Square, a 702,006 square foot office property located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The new loan
features a 7.57% interest rate and a seven-year term with three years of interest only payments
with principal amounts based on a thirty-year amortization schedule. $68.6 million was used to
repay without penalty the balance of the former Two Logan Square first mortgage loan and $21.2
million was used for general corporate purposes including the repayment of existing indebtedness.
On April 29, 2009, the Partnership sold an office property containing 122,543 net rentable square
feet located in Bethesda, MD, for a sales price of $26.5 million.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking
statements. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other materials filed by us with the SEC (as
well as information included in oral or other written statements made by us) contain statements
that are forward-looking, including statements relating to business and real estate development
activities, acquisitions, dispositions, future capital expenditures, financing sources,
governmental regulation (including environmental regulation) and competition. We intend such
forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions of the 1995 Act. The words
anticipate, believe, estimate, expect, intend, will, should and similar expressions,
as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe
that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable
assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be achieved. As forward-looking
statements, these statements involve important risks, uncertainties and other factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from the expected results and, accordingly, such results
may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are
not limited to:
| changes in general economic conditions; | ||
| changes in local real estate conditions (including changes in rental rates and the number of properties that compete with our properties); | ||
| changes in the economic conditions affecting industries in which our principal tenants compete; | ||
| the unavailability of equity and debt financing, particularly in light of the current economic environment; | ||
| our failure to lease unoccupied space in accordance with our projections; | ||
| our failure to re-lease occupied space upon expiration of leases; | ||
| tenant defaults and the bankruptcy of major tenants; | ||
| changes in prevailing interest rates; | ||
| the impact of unrealized hedging transactions; | ||
| failure of acquisitions to perform as expected; | ||
| unanticipated costs associated with the acquisition, integration and operation of, our acquisitions; | ||
| unanticipated costs to complete, lease-up and operate our developments and redevelopments; | ||
| impairment charges; | ||
| increased costs for, or lack of availability of, adequate insurance, including for terrorist acts; | ||
| risks associated with actual or threatened terrorist attacks; | ||
| demand for tenant services beyond those traditionally provided by landlords; | ||
| potential liability under environmental or other laws; | ||
| failure or bankruptcy of real estate venture partners; | ||
| inability of real estate venture partners to fund venture obligations; | ||
| failure of dispositions to close in a timely manner; | ||
| failure of buyers to comport with terms of their financing agreements to us; | ||
| earthquakes and other natural disasters; | ||
| risks associated with federal, state and local tax audits; | ||
| complex regulations relating to our status as a REIT and the adverse consequences of our failure to qualify as a REIT; and | ||
| the impact of newly adopted accounting principles on our accounting policies and on period-to-period comparisons of financial results. |
Given these uncertainties, and the other risks identified in the Risk Factors section of our
Annual Report on Form 10-K, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become
untrue because of subsequent events.
The discussion that follows is based primarily on our consolidated financial statements as of March
31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and for the three-months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 and should be
read along with the consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this
report. The ability to compare one period to another may be significantly affected by acquisitions
completed, development properties placed in service and dispositions made during those periods.
67
OVERVIEW
As of March 31, 2009, our portfolio consisted of 211 office properties, 22 industrial facilities
and one mixed-use property that contain an aggregate of approximately 23.5 million net rentable
square feet. In addition, we consolidate three office properties owned by real estate ventures
containing 0.4 million net rentable square feet. These 237 properties make up our core portfolio.
We also had, as of March 31, 2009, two properties under development and six properties under
redevelopment containing an aggregate 2.3 million net rentable square feet. Therefore, as of March
31, 2009, we consolidated 245 properties with an aggregate of 26.2 million net rentable square
feet. As of March 31, 2009, we also held economic interests in 13 unconsolidated real estate
ventures (the Real Estate Ventures) that we formed with third parties to develop or own
commercial properties. The properties owned by these Real Estate Ventures contain approximately
4.3 million net rentable square feet.
As of March 31, 2009, we managed our portfolio within six geographic segments: (1) Pennsylvania,
(2) Metropolitan Washington D.C, (3) New Jersey/Delaware, (4) Richmond, Virginia, (5) California
and (6) Austin, Texas. The Pennsylvania segment includes properties in Chester, Delaware, Bucks,
and Montgomery counties in the Philadelphia suburbs and the City of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania.
The Metropolitan Washington, D.C. segment includes properties in Northern Virginia and suburban
Maryland. The New Jersey/Delaware segment includes properties in counties in the southern and
central part of New Jersey including Burlington, Camden and Mercer counties and in the state of
Delaware. The Richmond, Virginia segment includes properties primarily in Albemarle, Chesterfield
and Henrico counties, the City of Richmond and Durham, North Carolina. The California segment
includes properties in Oakland, Concord, Carlsbad and Rancho Bernardo. The Austin, Texas segment
includes properties in Austin and Coppell.
We generate cash and revenue from leases of space at our properties and, to a lesser extent, from
the management of properties owned by third parties and from investments in the Real Estate
Ventures. Factors that we evaluate when leasing space include rental rates, costs of tenant
improvements, tenant creditworthiness, current and expected operating costs, the length of the
lease, vacancy levels and demand for office and industrial space. We also generate cash through
sales of assets, including assets that we do not view as core to our portfolio, either because of
location or expected growth potential, and assets that are commanding premium prices from third
party investors.
Our financial and operating performance is dependent upon the demand for office, industrial and
other commercial space in our markets, our leasing results, our acquisition, disposition and
development activity, our financing activity, our cash requirements and economic and market
conditions, including prevailing interest rates.
Deteriorating economic conditions have resulted in a reduction of the availability of financing and
higher borrowing costs. These factors, coupled with a slowing economy, have reduced the volume of
real estate transactions and created credit stresses on most businesses. We believe that vacancy
rates may increase through 2009 and possibly beyond as the current economic climate negatively
impacts tenants in our Properties.
We expect that the impact of the current state of the economy, including rising unemployment and
the unprecedented volatility and illiquidity in the financial and credit markets, will continue to
have a dampening effect on the fundamentals of our business, including increases in past due
accounts, tenant defaults, lower occupancy and reduced effective rents. These conditions would
negatively affect our future net income and cash flows and could have a material adverse effect on
our financial condition. In addition to the financial constraints on our tenants, many of the debt
capital markets that we and other real estate companies frequently access, such as the unsecured
bond market and the convertible debt market, are not currently available on terms that management
believes are economically attractive or at all. Although we believe that the quality of our assets
and our strong balance sheet will enable us to raise debt capital from other sources such as
traditional term or secured loans from banks, pension funds and life insurance companies, these
sources are lending fewer dollars, under stricter terms and at higher borrowing rates, and there
can be no assurance that we will be able to borrow funds on terms that are economically attractive
or at all.
We seek revenue growth at our portfolio through an increase in occupancy and rental rates.
Occupancy at our core portfolio at March 31, 2009 was 89.3%. Our overall occupancy at March 31,
2009, including our eight properties under development or redevelopment, was 83.7%.
In seeking to increase revenue through our operating, financing and investment activities, we also
seek to minimize operating risks, including (i) tenant rollover risk, (ii) tenant credit risk and
(iii) development risk.
68
Tenant Rollover Risk:
We are subject to the risk that tenant leases, upon expiration, are not renewed, that space may not
be relet, or that the terms of renewal or reletting (including the cost of renovations) may be less
favorable to us than the current lease terms. Leases accounting for approximately 7.6% of our
aggregate final annualized base rents as of March 31, 2009
(representing approximately 7.9% of the
net rentable square feet of the Properties) expire without penalty in 2009. We maintain an active
dialogue with our tenants in an effort to maximize lease renewals. During the three months ended
March 31, 2009, we achieved a 62.0% retention rate in our core portfolio. If we are unable to
renew leases or relet space under expiring leases, at anticipated rental rates, or if tenants
terminate their leases early, our cash flow would be adversely impacted.
Tenant Credit Risk:
In the event of a tenant default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as a landlord
and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment. Our management regularly evaluates
our accounts receivable reserve policy in light of our tenant base and general and local economic
conditions. Our accounts receivable allowance was $18.0 million or 15.9% of total receivables
(including accrued rent receivable) as of March 31, 2009 compared to $15.5 million or 13.6% of
total receivables (including accrued rent receivable) as of December 31, 2008.
If economic conditions persist or deteriorate further, we may experience increases in past due
accounts, defaults, lower occupancy and reduced effective rents. This condition would negatively
affect our future net income and cash flows and could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition.
Development Risk:
We plan to reduce capital expenditures during 2009 compared to prior years by concentrating only on
those capital expenditures that are absolutely necessary. At March 31, 2009, we were proceeding on
two developments and six redevelopments sites aggregating 2.3 million square feet with total
projected costs of $440.7 million of which $276.5 million remained to be funded. These amounts
include $355.5 million of total project costs for the combined 30th Street Post Office
(100% pre-leased to the Internal Revenue Service) and Cira South Garage (94.3% pre-leased to the
Internal Revenue Service) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania of which $257.2 million remained to be
funded at March 31, 2009. We are also finishing the lease-up of four recently completed
developments for which we expect to spend an additional $35.6 million in the remainder of 2009. We
are actively marketing space at these projects to prospective tenants but can provide no assurance
as to the timing or terms of any leases of space at these projects.
As of March 31, 2009, we owned approximately 495 acres of undeveloped land. We currently have no
plans to develop these land parcels and instead will look to opportunistically dispose of them to
generate additional liquidity. However, if circumstances change and we decide to proceed with
development, we would be subject to risks associated with development of this land including
construction cost increases or overruns and construction delays, insufficient occupancy rates,
building moratoriums and inability to obtain necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and
other required governmental approvals.
RECENT PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS
During the three month period ended March 31, 2009, we sold three office properties, containing an
aggregate of 0.1 million net rentable square feet. Specifically:
On February 4, 2009, we sold 748 and 855 Springdale Drive, two office properties located in
Exton, Pennsylvania containing 66,664 net rentable square feet, for a sales price of $9.0 million.
On March 16, 2009, we sold 305 Harper Drive, an office property located in Moorestown, NJ
containing 14,980 net rentable square feet, for a sales price of $1.1 million.
On April 29, 2009, we sold 7735 Old Georgetown Road, an office property located in Bethesda, MD
containing 122,543 net rentable square feet, for a sales price of $26.5 million. At March 31,
2009, we incurred an impairment charge of $3.7 million to mark down this building to its fair
market value.
We continually reassess our portfolio to determine properties that may be in our best interest to
sell depending on strategic or economic factors. From time to time, the decision to sell
properties in the short term could result in an impairment or other loss being taken by the Company
and such losses could be material to the statement of operations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discuss our
consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Certain
accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies, as they require management
to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made and
changes in accounting policies are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Management
bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and current economic conditions. On
an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions including those related to
revenue, impairment of long-lived assets and the allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results
may differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 contains a discussion of our
critical accounting policies. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting
policies since December 31, 2008. See also Note 2 in our unaudited consolidated financial
statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 set forth herein. Management discusses
our critical accounting policies and managements judgments and estimates with our Audit Committee.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
The table below shows selected operating information for the Same Store Property Portfolio and
the Total Portfolio. The Same Store Property Portfolio consists of 233 properties containing an
aggregate of approximately 23.2 million net rentable square feet that we owned for the entire
three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. This table also includes a reconciliation from
the Same Store Property Portfolio to the Total Portfolio net income (i.e., all properties owned by
us during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008) by providing information for the
properties which were acquired, placed into service, under development or redevelopment and
administrative/elimination information for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
(in thousands).
The Total Portfolio net income presented in the table is equal to the net income of Brandywine
Realty Trust. The only difference between the reported net income of Brandywine Realty Trust and
Brandywine Operating Partnership is the allocation of the non-controlling interest attributable to
continuing and discontinued operations for limited partnership units that is on the statement of
operations for Brandywine Realty Trust.

Total Revenue
Cash rents from the Total Portfolio increased by $4.7 million from first quarter 2008 to first
quarter 2009, primarily reflecting:
1) | An additional $3.3 million at the Same Store Portfolio from free rent periods converting to cash rent subsequent to the first quarter of 2008. This free rent conversion is the primary reason for the decrease in Total Portfolio straight-line rental income. | ||
2) | An additional $0.6 million from four properties that we completed and placed in service subsequent to the first quarter of 2008. |
Tenant reimbursements at the Total Portfolio increased by $3.4 million from the first quarter of
2008 to the first quarter of 2009 as a result of increased property operating expenses of $4.0
million.
Third party management fees, labor reimbursement and leasing decreased by $0.9 million from first
quarter 2008 to first quarter 2009 as a result of the termination of the management fee contract on
March 31, 2008 that we entered into when we sold the 10 office properties located in Reading and
Harrisburg, PA.
Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and third party management fees, at the
Total Portfolio increased by $4.0 million from first quarter 2008 to first quarter 2009, primarily
due to an increase in bad debt expense of $2.0 million. We also incurred an additional $1.3
million from four properties that we completed and placed in service subsequent to the first
quarter of 2008.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization increased by $1.3 million from first quarter 2008 to first quarter
2009, primarily due to $1.0 million of depreciation and amortization expense recorded on the four
properties completed and placed in service subsequent to the first quarter of 2008.
Provision for Impairment on Real Estate
During our impairment review, we determined that one of the properties tested for impairment under
the held and used model had a historical cost greater than the probability weighted undiscounted
cash flows. Accordingly, the recorded amount was reduced to an amount based on managements
estimate of the current fair value.
Where properties have been identified as having a potential for sale, additional judgments are
required related to the determination as to the appropriate period over which the undiscounted cash
flows should include the operating cash flows and the amount included as the estimated residual
value. Management determines the amounts to be included based on a probability weighted cash flow.
This requires significant judgment. In some cases, the results of whether an impairment is
indicated are sensitive to changes in assumptions input into the estimates, including the hold
period until expected sale.
Interest Income/ Expense
The increase in interest income by approximately $0.4 million is due to the accretion of the $40.0
million interest free note receivable from the sale of the NCA properties in the fourth quarter of
2008. The note receivable was recorded at the present value on the date of sale of $37.1 million.
Interest
expense decreased by $1.4 million primarily due to lower mortgage notes payable
outstanding at March 31, 2009 in comparison to March 31, 2008 as a result of certain mortgage notes
payable being paid off or assumed in sale of properties subsequent to the first quarter of 2008.
The decrease is also the result of a lower weighted average interest rate on Credit Facility
borrowings in the first quarter of 2009.
Gain on early extinguishment of debt
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we repurchased $6.5 million of our $345.0 million
3.875% Exchangeable Notes, $44.4 million of our $275.0 million 4.500% Guaranteed Notes due 2009 and
$24.3 million of our $300.0 million 5.625% Guaranteed Notes due 2010 which resulted in a gain on
early extinguishment of debt of $6.6
73
million. In addition, the Company expensed the pro-rata portion of the related deferred financing
costs in the amount of $0.3 million. The gain on early extinguishment of debt is inclusive of
adjustments made to reflect our adoption of FSP APB 14-1 on the repurchase.
During the first quarter of 2008, we repurchased $24.5 million of our $345.0 million 3.875%
Guaranteed Exchangeable Notes at an average price of 86.3036% which resulted in a $2.6 million gain
we reported for the early extinguishment of debt. In addition, we expensed the pro-rata portion of
the related deferred financing costs in the amount of $0.4 million. The gain on extinguishment of
debt has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect our adoption of FSP APB 14-1 on the repurchase.
Discontinued Operations
During the first quarter of 2009, we sold two properties in Exton, PA and one property in
Moorestown, NJ. These properties had total revenue of $0.3 million, operating expenses of $0.1
million and gains on sale of $0.2 million.
The March 31, 2008 amounts is reclassified to include the operations of the properties sold during
the first quarter of 2009, as well as all properties that were sold through the year ended December
31, 2008. Therefore, the discontinued operations amount for the first quarter of 2008 includes
total revenue of $15.1 million, operating expenses of $6.1 million, depreciation and amortization
expense of $4.6 million and gains on sale of $8.0 million.
Net (Loss) Income
Net income decreased by $14.5 million from the first quarter of 2008 as a result of the factors
described above. Net income is significantly impacted by depreciation of operating properties and
amortization of acquired intangibles. These non-cash charges do not directly affect our ability to
pay dividends. Such charges can be expected to continue until the values ascribed to the lease
intangibles are fully amortized. These intangibles are generally amortizing over the related lease
terms or estimated duration of the tenant relationship.
Earnings (loss) per Common Share
Loss per share was $0.03 for the first quarter of 2009 as compared to earnings per share $0.13 for
the first quarter of 2008 as a result of the factors described above and an increase in the average
number of common shares outstanding. The increase in the average number of common shares
outstanding is the result of a partnership unit conversion to common shares subsequent to the first
quarter of 2008 and the issuance of common shares upon the vesting of restricted common shares.
74
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General
Our principal liquidity needs for the next twelve months are as follows:
| fund normal recurring expenses, | ||
| fund capital expenditures, including capital and tenant improvements and leasing costs, | ||
| fund repayment of certain debt instruments when they mature, | ||
| fund current development and redevelopment costs, and | ||
| fund distributions declared by our Board of Trustees. |
We believe that with the general downturn in the economy, it is reasonably likely that vacancy
rates may continue to increase, effective rental rates on new and renewed leases may continue to
decrease and tenant installation costs, including concessions, may continue to increase in most or
all of our markets in 2009 and possibly beyond. As a result of the potential negative effects on
our revenue from the overall reduced demand for office space, our cash flow could be insufficient
to cover increased tenant installation costs over the short-term. If this situation were to occur,
we expect that we would finance any shortfalls through borrowings under our Credit Facility and
other debt and equity financings.
We believe that our liquidity needs will be satisfied through cash flows generated by operations,
financing activities and selective Property sales. Rental revenue, expense recoveries from tenants,
and other income from operations are our principal sources of cash that we use to pay operating
expenses, debt service, recurring capital expenditures and the minimum distributions required to
maintain our REIT qualification. We seek to increase cash flows from our properties by maintaining
quality standards for our properties that promote high occupancy rates and permit increases in
rental rates while reducing tenant turnover and controlling operating expenses. Our revenue also
includes third-party fees generated by our property management, leasing, developments and
construction businesses. We believe our revenue, together with proceeds from property sales and
secured debt financings, will continue to provide funds for our short-term liquidity needs.
However, material changes in our operating or financing activities may adversely affect our net
cash flows. Such changes, in turn, would adversely affect our ability to fund distributions, debt
service payments and tenant improvements. In addition, a material adverse change in our cash
provided by operations would affect the financial performance covenants under our unsecured credit
facility and unsecured notes.
Financial markets have recently experienced unusual volatility and uncertainty. Liquidity has
tightened in all financial markets, including the debt and equity markets. Our ability to fund
development projects, as well as our ability to repay or refinance debt maturities could be
adversely affected by an inability to secure financing at reasonable terms, if at all. It is
possible, in these unusual and uncertain times that one or more lenders in our revolving credit
facility could fail to fund a borrowing request. Such an event could adversely affect our ability
to access funds from its revolving credit facility when needed.
Our liquidity management remains a top priority. We continue to proactively pursue new financing
opportunities to ensure an appropriate balance sheet position through 2009. As a result of these
dedicated efforts, we are comfortable with our ability to meet future debt maturities and
development funding needs. We believe that our current balance sheet and outlook for 2009 are in
an adequate position at the date of this filing, despite the ongoing disruption in the credit
markets. On April 1, 2009, we closed on an $89.8 million first mortgage financing on our Two Logan
Square property. The new loan features a 7.57% interest rate and a seven-year term with three
years of interest only payments with principal payments based on a thirty-year amortization
schedule. $68.6 million was used to repay without penalty the balance of the former Two Logan
Square first mortgage loan and $21.2 million was used for general corporate purposes including the
repayment of existing indebtedness. On April 14, 2009, we entered into a mortgage loan commitment
for our One Logan Square property which we expect will provide $60.0 million of debt. There is no
assurance that the lender will ultimately provide the financing pursuant to the terms of the
commitment letter or at all. We will also consider other properties within our portfolio where it
may be in our best interest to obtain a secured mortgage. We will also consider sales of selected
Properties as another source of managing our liquidity. In addition, during 2009, our expectation
is that we will receive $23.8 million as the second contribution under the historic tax credit
transaction that we entered into with US Bancorp. If economic conditions persist or deteriorate,
we may experience increases in past due accounts, defaults, lower occupancy and reduced effective
rents. This condition would negatively affect our future net income and cash flows and could have
a material adverse effect on our financial condition. We will also continue to evaluate the
potential of paying our quarterly dividend in stock.
75
We draw on multiple financing sources to fund our long-term capital needs. We use our credit
facility for general business purposes, including the acquisition, development and redevelopment of
properties and the repayment of other debt.
Our ability to incur additional debt is dependent upon a number of factors, including our credit
ratings, the value of our unencumbered assets, our degree of leverage and borrowing restrictions
imposed by our current lenders. If more than one rating agency were to downgrade our credit
rating, our access to capital in the unsecured debt market would be more limited and the interest
rate under our existing credit facility and term loan would increase.
Our ability to sell common and preferred shares is dependent on, among other things, general market
conditions for REITs, market perceptions about our company and the current trading price of our
shares. We regularly analyze which source of capital is most advantageous to us at any particular
point in time. The equity markets may not be consistently available on terms that we consider
attractive.
Asset sales during 2008 and through the first quarter of 2009 have also been a source of cash.
During the first quarter of 2009 we sold three properties, containing an aggregate of 0.1 million
net rentable square feet for net cash proceeds of $8.7 million. Since mid-2007, we have used
proceeds from asset sales to repay existing indebtedness, provide capital for our development
activities and strengthen our financial condition. There is no guarantee that we will be able to
raise similar or even lesser amounts of capital from future asset sales.
Cash Flows
The following discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statement of cash flows and
is not meant to be a comprehensive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods
presented.
As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we maintained cash and cash equivalents of $4.1 million
and $3.9 million, respectively, an increase of $0.2 million. This increase was the result of the
following changes in cash flow from our activities for the three-month periods ended March 31 (in
thousands):
Activity | 2009 | 2008 | ||||||
Operating |
$ | 62,767 | $ | 72,689 | ||||
Investing |
(10,001 | ) | (16,748 | ) | ||||
Financing |
(52,607 | ) | (57,689 | ) | ||||
Net cash flows |
$ | 159 | $ | (1,748 | ) | |||
Our principal source of cash flows is from the operation of our properties. The decrease in cash
flows from operating activities is primarily the result of the timing of cash receipts from our
tenants and cash expenditures in the normal course of operations as well as the impact of
properties sold subsequent to March 31, 2008. We do not restate our cash flow for discontinued
operations.
The decrease in cash flows used in investing activities is primarily attributable to our capital
expenditures for tenant and building improvements and leasing commissions decreasing by $7.1
million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008.
Decreased cash used in financing activities is primarily attributable to the decrease in our
distributions paid to shareholders from $40.4 million in the first quarter of 2008 to $28.4 million
in the first quarter of 2009. This decrease was offset by an increase in the net activity of our
credit facility and unsecured notes from $14.1 million in the first quarter of 2008 to $21.4
million in the first quarter if 2009.
Capitalization
Indebtedness
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we repurchased $44.4 million of 2009 Notes in a
series of transactions and recognized a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $1.5 million. In
addition, we accelerated amortization of the related deferred financing costs of $0.1 million.
76
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we repurchased $24.3 million of 2010 Notes in a
series of transactions and recognized a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $3.0 million. In
addition, we accelerated amortization of the related deferred financing costs of $0.1 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we repurchased $6.5 million of 3.875% Exchangeable
Notes in a series of transactions and recognized a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $2.1
million. In addition, we accelerated amortization of the related deferred financing costs of $0.1
million. The gain on early extinguishment of debt is inclusive of adjustments made to reflect our
adoption of FSP APB 14-1.
As of
March 31, 2009, we had approximately $2,711.3 million of outstanding indebtedness. The table
below summarizes our mortgage notes payable, our unsecured notes and
our revolving credit facility (net of discounts)

The variable rate debt shown above generally bear interest based on various spreads over a LIBOR
term selected by us.
We use credit facility borrowings for general business purposes, including the acquisition,
development and redevelopment of properties and the repayment of other debt. The Credit Facility
requires the maintenance of financial covenants, including ratios related to minimum net worth,
debt to total capitalization and fixed charge coverage and customary non-financial covenants. We
were in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2009.
The indenture under which we issued our unsecured notes, and the note purchase agreement that
governed an additional $113.0 million of 4.34% unsecured notes that matured in December 2008,
contain (or contained) financial covenants, including (1) a leverage ratio not to exceed 60%, (2) a
secured debt leverage ratio not to exceed 40%, (3) a debt service coverage ratio of greater than
1.5 to 1.0 and (4) an unencumbered asset value of not less than 150% of unsecured debt. We were in
compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2009.
We have mortgage loans that are collateralized by certain of our Properties. Payments on mortgage
loans are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest, or interest only. We
intend to refinance or repay our mortgage loans as they mature. Historically, this has been
completed primarily through the use of unsecured debt or equity, however, in the current economic
environment we will first look to selectively sell Properties or obtain secured mortgages on
certain of our Properties. On April 1, 2009, we closed on an $89.8 million first mortgage
financing on our Two Logan Square property. The new loan features a 7.57% interest rate and a
seven-year term with three years of interest only payments with principal payments based on a
thirty-year amortization schedule. $68.6 million was used to repay without penalty the balance of
the former Two Logan Square first mortgage loan and $21.2 million was used for general corporate
purposes including the repayment of existing indebtedness. On April 14, 2009, we entered into a
mortgage loan commitment for our One Logan Square property which we expect will provide $60.0
million of debt. There is no assurance that the lender will ultimately provide the financing
pursuant to the terms of the commitment letter or at all.
77
Our charter documents do not limit the amount or form of indebtedness that we may incur, and our
policies on debt incurrence are solely within the discretion of our Board, subject to financial
covenants in the Credit Facility, indenture and other credit agreements.
As of March 31, 2009, we had guaranteed repayment of approximately $2.2 million of loans on behalf
of certain Real Estate Ventures. We also provide customary environmental indemnities and
completion guarantees in connection with construction and permanent financing both for our own
account and on behalf of certain of the Real Estate Ventures.

On March 18, 2009, we declared a distribution of $0.10 per Common Share, totaling $8.9 million,
which we paid on April 17, 2009 to shareholders of record as of April 3, 2009. The Operating
Partnership simultaneously declared a $0.10 per unit cash distribution to holders of Class A Units
totaling $0.3 million.
On March 18, 2009, we declared distributions on our Series C Preferred Shares and Series D
Preferred Shares to holders of record as of March 30, 2009. These shares are entitled to a
preferential return of 7.50% and 7.375%, respectively. Distributions paid on April 15, 2009 to
holders of Series C Preferred Shares and Series D Preferred Shares totaled $0.9 million and $1.1
million, respectively.
We maintain a share repurchase program under which our Board has authorized us to repurchase our
common shares from time to time. Our Board initially authorized this program in 1998 and has
periodically replenished capacity under the program. On May 2, 2006, our Board restored capacity
to 3.5 million common shares. As of March 31, 2009, there are approximately 0.5 million shares
remaining to be repurchased under this program. Our Board has not limited the duration of the
program; however, it may be terminated at any time.
Shelf Registration Statement
Together with our Operating Partnership, we maintain a shelf registration statement that registered
common shares, preferred shares, depositary shares and warrants and unsecured debt securities.
Subject to our ongoing compliance with securities laws, and if warranted by market conditions, we
may offer and sell equity and debt securities from time to time under the registration statement.
Short- and Long-Term Liquidity
We believe that our cash flow from operations is adequate to fund our short-term liquidity
requirements. Cash flow from operations is generated primarily from rental revenues and operating
expense reimbursements from tenants and management services income from providing services to third
parties. We intend to use these funds to meet short-term liquidity needs, which are to fund
operating expenses, debt service requirements, recurring capital expenditures, tenant allowances,
leasing commissions and the minimum distributions required to maintain our REIT qualification under
the Internal Revenue Code.
We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements, such as for property acquisitions,
development, investments in real estate ventures, scheduled debt maturities, major renovations,
expansions and other significant capital improvements, through cash from operations, borrowings
under the Credit Facility, additional secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of equity
securities, contributions from joint venture investors and proceeds from asset dispositions.
Many commercial real estate lenders have substantially tightened underwriting standards or have
withdrawn from the lending marketplace. Also, spreads in the investment grade bond market have
substantially widened. These circumstances have materially impacted liquidity in the debt markets,
making financing terms less attractive, and in certain cases have resulted in the unavailability of
certain types of debt financing. As a result, we expect debt financings will be more difficult to
obtain and that borrowing costs on new and refinanced debt will be more expensive. Moreover, the
recent volatility in the financial markets, in general, will make it more difficult or costly, or
even impossible, for us to raise capital through the issuance of common stock, preferred stock or
other equity instruments or through public issuances of debt securities from our shelf registration
statements as we have been able to do in the past. Such conditions would also limit our ability to
raise capital through asset dispositions at attractive prices or at all.
Inflation
78
A majority of our leases provide for reimbursement of real estate taxes and operating expenses
either on a triple net basis or over a base amount. In addition, many of our office leases provide
for fixed base rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases in expenses will be
partially offset by expense reimbursement and contractual rent increases.

(a) | Amounts do not include unamortized discounts and/or premiums. | |
(b) | Future minimum rental payments under the terms of all non-cancelable ground leases under which we are the lessee are expensed on a straight-line basis regardless of when payments are due. Certain of the land leases provide for prepayment of rent on a present value basis using a fixed discount rate. Further, certain of the land lease for properties (currently under development) provide for contingent rent participation by the lessor in certain capital transactions and net operating cash flows of the property after certain returns are achieved by us. Such amounts, if any will be reflected as contingent rent when incurred. The leases also provide for payment by us of certain operating costs relating to the land, primarely real estate taxes. The above schedule of future minimum rental payments does not include any contingent rent amounts nor any reimbursed expenses. | |

As part of the TRC acquisition, we acquired our interest in Two Logan Square, a 702,006 square foot
office building in Philadelphia, primarily through our ownership of a second and third mortgage
secured by this property. This property is consolidated as the borrower is a variable interest
entity and we, through our ownership of the second and third mortgages are the primary beneficiary.
We currently do not expect to take title to Two Logan Square until, at the earliest, September
2019. If we take fee title to Two Logan Square upon a foreclosure of our mortgage, we have agreed
to pay an unaffiliated third party that holds a residual interest in the fee owner of this property
an amount equal to $0.6 million (if we must pay a state and local transfer upon taking title) and
$2.9 million (if no transfer tax is payable upon the transfer).
We are currently being audited by the Internal Revenue Service for our 2004 tax year. The audit
concerns the tax treatment of the transaction in September 2004 in which we acquired a portfolio of
properties through the acquisition of a limited partnership. At this time it does not appear that
an adjustment would result in a material tax liability for us. However, an adjustment could raise
a question as to whether a contributor of partnership interests in the 2004 transaction could
assert a claim against us under the tax protection agreement entered into as part of the
transaction.
As part of our 2006 acquisition of Prentiss Properties Trust, the TRC acquisition in 2004 and
several of our other transactions, we agreed not to sell certain of the properties we acquired in
transactions that would trigger taxable income to the former owners. In the case of the TRC
acquisition, we agreed not to sell acquired properties for periods up to 15 years from the
acquisition date as follows: 201 King of Prussia Road, 555 East Lancaster Avenue and 300
79
Delaware Avenue (January 2008); One Rodney Square and 130/150/170 Radnor Financial Center (January
2015); and One Logan Square, Two Logan Square and Radnor Corporate Center (January 2020). In the
Prentiss acquisition, we assumed the obligation of Prentiss not to sell Concord Airport Plaza
before March 2018 and 6600 Rockledge before July 2008. We also agreed not sell 14 other properties
that contain an aggregate of 1.2 million square feet for periods that expired at the end of 2008.
Our agreements generally provide that we may dispose of the subject properties only in transactions
that qualify as tax-free exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code or in other tax
deferred transactions. If we were to sell a restricted property before expiration of the
restricted period in a non-exempt transaction, we would be required to make significant payments to
the parties who sold us the applicable property on account of tax liabilities triggered to them.
In connection with our development of the PO Box/IRS and Cira Garage projects, during 2008, we
entered into a historic tax credit and new markets tax credit arrangement, respectively. We are
required to be in compliance with various laws, regulations and contractual provisions that apply
to our historic and new market tax credit arrangements. Non-compliance with applicable
requirements could result in projected tax benefits not being realized and therefore, require a
refund to USB or reduction of investor capital contributions, which are reported as deferred income
in our consolidated balance sheet, until such time as our obligation to deliver tax benefits is
relieved. The remaining compliance periods for our tax credit arrangements runs through 2015. We
do not anticipate that any material refunds or reductions of investor capital contributions will be
required in connection with these arrangements.
We invest in our properties and regularly incur capital expenditures in the ordinary course to
maintain the properties. We believe that such expenditures enhance our competitiveness. We also
enter into construction, utility and service contracts in the ordinary course of business which may
extend beyond one year. These contracts typically provide for cancellation with insignificant or
no cancellation penalties.
Interest Rate Risk and Sensitivity Analysis
The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to
selected changes in market rates. The range of changes chosen reflects our view of changes which
are reasonably possible over a one-year period. Market values are the present value of projected
future cash flows based on the market rates chosen.
Our financial instruments consist of both fixed and variable rate debt. As of March 31, 2009, our
consolidated debt consisted of $484.3 million in fixed rate mortgages, $200.0 million borrowings
under our Credit Facility, $183.0 million borrowings in an unsecured term loan and $1,844.0 million
in unsecured notes (net of discounts) of which $1,791.0 million are fixed rate borrowings and $53.0
million are variable rate borrowings. All financial instruments were entered into for other than
trading purposes and the net market value of these financial instruments is referred to as the net
financial position. Changes in interest rates have different impacts on the fixed and variable
rate portions of our debt portfolio. A change in interest rates on the fixed portion of the debt
portfolio impacts the net financial instrument position, but has no impact on interest incurred or
cash flows. A change in interest rates on the variable portion of the debt portfolio impacts the
interest incurred and cash flows, but does not impact the net financial instrument position.
As of March 31, 2009, based on prevailing interest rates and credit spreads, the fair value of our
unsecured notes was $1.1 billion. For sensitivity purposes, a 100 basis point change in the
discount rate equates to a change in the total fair value of our
debt, including the Notes, of
approximately $17.6 million at March 31, 2009.
We use derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk exposures and not for speculative
purposes. As of March 31, 2009 we effectively hedged debt with a notional amount of $185.5 million
through five interest rate swap agreements. These instruments have an aggregate fair value of $5.4
million at March 31, 2009.
We also have two forward starting swaps with a notional amount of $50.0 million at March 31, 2009
which we expect will be used as a cash flow hedge of the variability in 10 years of forecasted
interest payments, beginning in December 2009.
The total carrying value of our variable rate debt was approximately $461.6 million and $414.6
million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The total fair value of our debt,
excluding the Notes, was approximately $444.1 million and $398.7 million at March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively. For sensitivity purposes, a 100 basis point change in the
discount rate equates to a change in the total fair value of our debt, excluding the Notes of
approximately $2.8 million at March 31, 2009, and a 100 basis point change in the discount rate
equates to a change in the total fair value of our debt of approximately $2.4 million at December
31, 2008.
80
If market rates of interest increase by 1%, the fair value of our outstanding fixed-rate mortgage
debt would decrease by approximately $11.9 million. If market rates of interest decrease by 1%,
the fair value of our outstanding fixed-rate mortgage debt would increase by approximately $12.5
million.
At March 31, 2009, our outstanding variable rate debt based on LIBOR totaled approximately $461.6
million. At March 31, 2009, the interest rate on our variable rate debt was approximately 1.46%.
If market interest rates on our variable rate debt change by 100
basis points, total
interest expense would change by approximately $0.7 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2009.
These amounts were determined solely by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on
our financial instruments. Due to the uncertainty of specific actions we may undertake to minimize
possible effects of market interest rate increases, this analysis assumes no changes in our
financial structure.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, commodity prices and
equity prices. In pursuing our business plan, the primary market risk to which we are exposed is
interest rate risk. Changes in the general level of interest rates prevailing in the financial
markets may affect the spread between our yield on invested assets and cost of funds and, in turn,
our ability to make distributions or payments to our shareholders. While we have not experienced
any significant credit losses, in the event of a significant rising interest rate environment
and/or economic downturn, defaults could increase and result in losses to us which adversely affect
our operating results and liquidity.
See Interest Rate Risk and Sensitivity Analysis in Item 2 above.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) | Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report and have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective. | ||
(b) | Changes in internal controls over financial reporting. There was no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this quarterly report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting. |
