NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Gladstone Commercial Corporation, a Maryland corporation, (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 14, 2003 under the General Corporation Law of Maryland for the purpose of engaging in the business of investing in property net leased to creditworthy entities and making mortgage loans to creditworthy entities. Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the business of the Company is managed by Gladstone Management Corporation (the “Adviser”).

Subsidiaries

On May 28, 2003, the Company completed the formation of a subsidiary, Gladstone Commercial Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company conducts substantially all of its operations through the Operating Partnership. As the Company currently owns all of the general and limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership, the financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership are consolidated with those of the Company.

On July 17, 2003, the Company completed the formation of a subsidiary, Gladstone Commercial Partners, LLC (“Commercial Partners”). Commercial Partners was organized to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a limited liability company may be organized in Delaware. Commercial Partners has the power to make and perform all contracts and to engage in all activities to carry out the purposes of the Company, and all other powers available to it as a limited liability company. As the Company currently owns all of the membership interests of Commercial Partners, the financial position and results of operations of Commercial Partners are consolidated with those of the Company.

On January 27, 2004, the Company completed the formation of a subsidiary, Gladstone Lending LLC (“Gladstone Lending”). Gladstone Lending was created to conduct all operations related to real estate mortgage loans of the Company. As the Operating Partnership currently owns all of the membership interests of Gladstone Lending, the financial position and results of operations of Gladstone Lending are consolidated with those of the Operating Partnership.

On August 23, 2004, the Company completed the formation of a subsidiary, Gladstone Commercial Advisers, Inc. (“Commercial Advisers”). Commercial Advisers is a taxable real estate investment trust (“REIT”) subsidiary, which was created to collect all non-qualifying income related to the Company’s real estate portfolio. This income will predominately consist of fees received by the Company related to the leasing of real estate. Since the Company owns 100% of the voting securities of Commercial Advisers, the financial position and results of operations of Commercial Advisers are consolidated with those of the Company. There have been no such fees earned to date.

Interim financial information

Interim financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary for the fair statement of financial statements for the interim period have been included.

Investments in real estate

The Company accounts for its acquisitions of real estate in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations”, which requires the purchase price of

real estate to be allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, the value of unamortized lease origination costs and the value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values.

The Company records investments in real estate at cost and capitalizes improvements and replacements when they extend the useful life or improve the efficiency of the asset. The Company expenses costs of repairs and maintenance as incurred. The Company computes depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 39 years for buildings and improvements, five to seven years for equipment and fixtures and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.

Management’s estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis). Factors considered by management in its analysis include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. 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 value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. In estimating carrying costs, management also 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 nine to 18 months, depending on specific local market conditions. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses to the extent that such costs are not already incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction.

The Company allocates purchase price to the fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property by valuing the property as if it were vacant. The “as-if-vacant” value is allocated to land, building, and tenant improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. Real estate depreciation expense on these tangible assets was $770,467 and $ 1,742,094 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, and $253,256 and $421,586 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively.

Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for owned 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) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The capitalized above-market lease values, included in the accompanying balance sheet as part of deferred rent receivable, are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The value of these above-market leave values as of September 30, 2005 was $1,880,146. The capitalized below-market lease values will be amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial term and any fixed-rate renewal periods in the respective leases. Total amortization related to above-market lease values was $21,315 and $114,700 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. There was no amortization related to above-market lease values in 2004.

The total amount of the remaining intangible assets acquired, which consist of in-place lease values, unamortized lease origination costs, and customer relationship intangible values, are allocated based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with that respective tenant. Characteristics to be considered by management in allocating these values include the nature and extent of our existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals (including those existing under the terms of the lease agreement), among other factors.

The value of in-place leases and unamortized lease origination costs are amortized to expense over the initial term of the respective leases, which range from five to twenty years. The value of customer relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining

depreciable life of the building. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles will be charged to expense. Total amortization expense related to these intangible assets was $369,714 and $632,818 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, and $59,776 and $97,547 for three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively.

The following table summarizes the gross value of other intangible assets:

		September 30, 2005				December 31, 2004
In-place leases		$	4,228,962			$	1,929,800
Leasing costs			4,843,746				1,494,393
Customer relationships			2,816,267				—
Accumulated amortization			(826,865	)			(194,047	)
		$	11,062,110			$	3,230,146

Impairment

Investments in Real Estate

The Company accounts for the impairment of real estate in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which requires that the Company periodically review the carrying value of each property to determine if circumstances that indicate impairment in the carrying value of the investment exist or that depreciation periods should be modified. If circumstances support the possibility of impairment, the Company prepares a projection of the undiscounted future cash flows, without interest charges, of the specific property and determines if the investment in such property is recoverable. If impairment is indicated, the carrying value of the property is written down to its estimated fair value based on the Company’s best estimate of the property’s discounted future cash flows. There have been no impairments recognized on the Company’s real estate assets at September 30, 2005.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company’s accounting policies require that it reflect in its financial statements an allowance for estimated credit losses with respect to mortgage loans it has made based upon its evaluation of known and inherent risks associated with its private lending assets. The Company has extended two mortgage loans and has not experienced any actual losses in connection with its lending investments. Management reflects provisions for loan losses based upon its assessment of general market conditions, its internal risk management policies and credit risk rating system, industry loss experience, its assessment of the likelihood of delinquencies or defaults, and the value of the collateral underlying its investments. Actual losses, if any, could ultimately differ from these estimates. There have been no provisions for loan losses at September 30, 2005.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to cash and have a maturity of generally three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents; except that any such investments purchased with funds held in escrow or similar accounts are classified as restricted deposits. Items classified as cash equivalents include commercial paper and money-market funds. All of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2005 were held in the custody of three financial institutions, and the Company’s balance at times may exceed federally insurable limits. The Company mitigates this risk by depositing funds with major financial institutions.

Replacement reserve

The replacement reserve consists of funds held by certain of the Company’s lenders for properties held as collateral by these lenders. These funds will be released to the Company upon completion of agreed upon tasks as specified in the mortgage agreements, mainly consisting of maintenance and repairs on the buildings.

Deferred financing costs

Deferred financing costs consist of costs incurred to obtain long-term financing, including, legal fees, origination fees, and administrative fees. The costs are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the financing secured.

Revenue recognition

Rental revenues include rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease reported on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable term of the lease. Certain of the Company’s leases currently contain rental increases at specified intervals, and straight-line basis accounting requires the Company to record an asset, and include in revenues, deferred rent receivable that will be received if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. Deferred rent receivable in the accompanying balance sheet includes the cumulative difference between rental revenue as recorded on a straight line basis and rents received from the tenants in accordance with the lease terms, along with the capitalized above-market lease values of certain acquired properties. Accordingly, the Company determines, in its judgment, to what extent the deferred rent receivable applicable to each specific tenant is collectible. The Company reviews deferred rent receivable, as is it relates to straight line rents, on a quarterly basis and takes into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. In the event that the collectibility of deferred rent with respect to any given tenant is in doubt, the Company records an increase in the allowance for uncollectible accounts or records a direct write-off of the specific rent receivable, which would have an adverse effect on the net income for the year in which the reserve is increased or the direct write-off is recorded and would decrease total assets and stockholders’ equity. No such reserves have been recorded as of September 30, 2005.

Management considers its loans and other lending investments to be held-for-investment. The Company reflects held-for-investment investments at amortized cost less allowance for loan losses, acquisition premiums or discounts, deferred loan fees and undisbursed loan funds. On occasion, the Company may acquire loans at small premiums or discounts based on the credit characteristics of such loans. These premiums or discounts are recognized as yield adjustments over the lives of the related loans. Loan origination or exit fees, as well as direct loan origination costs, are also deferred and recognized over the lives of the related loans as yield adjustments. If loans with premiums, discounts, loan origination or exit fees are prepaid, the Company immediately recognizes the unamortized portion as a decrease or increase in the prepayment gain or loss. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method applied on a loan-by-loan basis. Prepayment penalties or yield maintenance payments from borrowers are recognized as additional income when received.

Stock based compensation

The Company currently accounts for the issuance of stock options under its 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”), in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” In this regard, these options have been granted to individuals who are the Company’s officers, and who would qualify as leased employees under FASB Interpretation No. 44 (“FIN 44”), “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25.”

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) approved the revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and issued the revised SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-

Based Payment.” In April of 2005 the effective date of adoption was changed from interim periods ending after June 15, 2005 to annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS No. 123(R) effectively replaces SFAS No. 123, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” The new standard is effective for awards that are granted, modified, or settled in cash for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will require the Company to begin expensing the value of stock options granted as compensation cost beginning in January of 2006. The impact of the adoption of this amendment to current earnings is discussed below.

The following table summarizes the Company’s operating results as if the Company elected to account for its stock-based compensation under the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004:

		For the three				For the three				For the nine				For the nine

Diluted, pro-forma		$	0.11			$	0.07			$	0.31			$	0.01

The stock-based compensation expense under the fair value method, as reported in the above table, was computed using an estimated weighted average fair value of $1.26 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, based on options issued from date of inception forward, and the following weighted-average assumptions: dividend yield of 5.06%, risk-free interest rate of 2.60%, expected volatility factor of 18.11%, and expected lives of 3 years.

Income taxes

The Company has operated and intends to continue to operate in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and accordingly will not be subject to Federal income taxes on amounts distributed to stockholders (except income from foreclosure property), provided it distributes at least 90% of its real estate investment trust taxable income to its stockholders and meets certain other conditions. To the extent that the Company satisfies the distribution requirement but distributes less than 100% of its taxable income, the Company will be subject to federal corporate income tax on its undistributed income. Because the Company is not able to deduct any of its unrealized depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities in a foreign currency for tax purposes, the Company must distribute these amounts to its stockholders or the Company would be subject to federal and state corporate income tax on the amounts of these losses.

Commercial Advisers is a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) that is subject to federal and state income taxes. The Company accounts for such income taxes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under SFAS No. 109, the Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

Segment information

SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” provides standards for public companies relating to the reporting of financial and descriptive information about their operating segments in financial statements. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker or decision making group in determining how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Company management is the chief decision making group. As discussed in Note 8, the Company’s operations are derived from two operating segments, one segment purchases real estate (land, buildings and other improvements), which is simultaneously leased to existing users and the other segment extends mortgage loans and collects principal and interest payments.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The Company purchased two properties in Canada in October of 2004. Rental payments from these properties are received in Canadian dollars. In accordance with SFAS No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation.” the rental revenue received is recorded using the exchange rate as of the transaction date, which is the first day of each month. If the rental payment is received on a date other than the transaction date, then a realized foreign currency gain or loss would be recorded on the financial statements. Straight line rent and any deferred rent asset or liability recorded in connection with monthly rental payments are also recorded using the exchange rate as of the transaction date. The Company also remits quarterly tax payments to Canada from amounts withheld from the tenants in the Canadian properties. Since these payments are received from the tenants on dates different then the remittance date to Canada, the tax payments also result in realized foreign currency gains and losses on the income statement. In addition to rental payments that are denominated in Canadian dollars, the Company also has a bank account in Canada and the long-term financings on the two Canadian properties were issued in Canadian dollars. All cash, deferred rent assets and mortgage notes payable related to the Canadian properties are re-valued at each balance sheet date to reflect the current exchange rate, and the gains and losses from the valuation is recorded on the income statement as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on translation of assets and liabilities. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, $3,007 and $5,943, respectively, was recorded as a realized foreign currency loss and, $221,562 and $221,428, respectively, was recorded as unrealized depreciation on translation of assets and liabilities.. The unrealized depreciation was primarily a result of the valuation of the mortgage notes payable due to a decrease in the value of the US dollar relative to the Canadian dollar by approximately 5% between the date the notes were issued, July 19, 2005, and September 30, 2005. There was no foreign currency loss during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2004.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts from prior years’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income or stockholders’ equity.

2. Management Advisory Fee

The Company has no employees, and all of the Company’s operations are managed by the Company’s Adviser pursuant to an advisory agreement. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, the Adviser is responsible for managing the Company on a day-to-day basis and for identifying, evaluating, negotiating and

consummating investment transactions consistent with the Company’s criteria. In exchange for such services, the Company pays the Adviser a management advisory fee, which consists of the reimbursement of certain expenses of the Adviser. The Company reimburses the Adviser for its pro-rata share of the payroll and related benefit expenses on an employee-by-employee basis, based on the percentage of each employee’s time devoted to Company matters. The Company also reimburses the Adviser for general overhead expenses multiplied by the ratio of hours worked by the Adviser’s employees on Company matters to the total hours worked by the Adviser’s employees.

The Company compensates its Adviser through reimbursement of its portion of the Adviser’s payroll, benefits and general overhead expenses. This reimbursement is generally subject to a combined annual management fee limitation of 2.0% of the Company’s average invested assets for the year, with certain exceptions. Reimbursement for overhead expenses is only required up to the point that reimbursed overhead expenses and payroll and benefits expenses, on a combined basis, equal 2.0% of the Company’s average invested assets for the year, and general overhead expenses are required to be reimbursed only if the amount of payroll and benefits reimbursed to the Adviser is less than 2.0% of its average invested assets for the year. However, payroll and benefits expenses are required to be reimbursed by the Company to the extent that they exceed the overall 2.0% annual management fee limitation. To the extent that overhead expenses payable or reimbursable by the Company exceed this limit and the Company’s independent directors determine that the excess expenses were justified based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient, the Company may reimburse the Adviser in future years for the full amount of the excess expenses, or any portion thereof, but only to the extent that the reimbursement would not cause the Company’s overhead expense reimbursements to exceed the 2.0% limitation in any year. To date, the advisory fee has not exceeded the annual cap.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company incurred approximately $609,000 and $1,565,000, respectively, in management advisory fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company incurred approximately $334,000 and $843,000, respectively, in management advisory fees. Approximately $164,000 and $129,000 was unpaid at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

The following table shows the breakdown of the management advisory fee for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004:

3. Stock Options

At September 30, 2005, 916,000 options were outstanding with exercise prices ranging from $15 to $16.85 with terms of ten years.

The following table is a summary of all notes issued to employees for the exercise of stock options:

These notes were recorded as loans to employees in the equity section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. No compensation expense was recorded related to these transactions. As of September 30, 2005, approximately $433,000 of indebtedness was owed by current employees to the Company, and no current or former directors or executive officers had any loans outstanding.

9. Line of Credit

On February 28, 2005, the Company entered into a line of credit agreement with a syndicate of banks led by Branch Banking & Trust Company. This line of credit initially provided the Company with up to $50 million of financing, with an option to increase the line of credit up to a maximum of $75 million upon agreement of the syndicate of banks. On July 6, 2005, the Company amended the line of credit to increase the maximum availability under the line from $50 million to $60 million. The line of credit matures on February 28, 2008. The interest rate charged on the advances under the facility is based on LIBOR, the prime rate or the federal funds rate, depending on market conditions, and adjusts periodically. The unused portion of the line of credit is subject to a fee of 0.25% per year. The Company’s ability to access this funding source is subject to the Company continuing to meet customary lending requirements such as compliance with financial and operating covenants and meeting certain lending limits and, as of September 30, 2005, the Company is in compliance with all financial and operating covenants. For example, as is customary with such line of credit facilities, the maximum amount the Company may draw under this agreement is based on the percentage of the value of its properties meeting agreed-upon eligibility standards that the Company has pledged as collateral to the banks. As the Company arranges for long-term mortgages for these properties, the banks will release the properties from the line of credit and reduce the

availability under the line of credit by the advanced amount of the removed property. Conversely, as the Company purchases new properties meeting the eligibility standards, the Company may pledge these new properties to obtain additional advances under this agreement. The Company may use the advances under the line of credit for both general corporate purposes and the acquisition of new investments. As of September 30, 2005, there was $23.8 million outstanding under the line of credit at an interest rate of 5.97%.

10. Mortgage Notes Payable

On March 16, 2005, the Company borrowed $3,150,000 pursuant to a long-term note payable from Key Bank National Association, which is collateralized by a security interest in its Canton, North Carolina property. The note accrues interest at an initial interest rate of 6.33% per year until the anticipated repayment date of April 1, 2010. Monthly payments on the note are based upon a twenty-five year term, with both principal and interest being paid each month. If the note is not repaid before the anticipated repayment date, interest will accrue on the remaining outstanding principal balance from and after the anticipated repayment date at the greater of the initial interest rate plus 2%, or the treasury rate for the week ending prior to the anticipated repayment date plus 2%. The Company may repay this note at any time after June 23, 2009 and not be subject to a prepayment penalty. The note matures on April 1, 2030, however the Company expects to repay the note in full prior to the anticipated repayment date. The Company used the proceeds from the note to acquire additional investments for its portfolio.

On July 19, 2005, the Company, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into two separate long-term notes payable with the RBC Life Insurance Company, which are collateralized by its Canadian Properties. The Company borrowed $2.1 million in Canadian dollars, which translated to $1.7 million in US dollars as of July 19, 2005, and the loan is collateralized by a security interest in its Montreal, Quebec property. The Company borrowed an additional $3.4 million in Canadian dollars, which translated to $2.8 million in US dollars as of July 19, 2005, and the loan is collateralized by a security interest in its Granby, Quebec property. These notes both accrue interest at an interest rate of 5.22% per year. Monthly payments on the notes are based upon a twenty-five year term, with both principal and interest being paid each month. The notes mature on August 1, 2015, and the Company does not have the right to prepay the principal amount prior to the maturity date on either note. The Company used the proceeds from the notes to pay down the Company’s line of credit.

On August 25, 2005, the Company, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, borrowed $21,757,000 pursuant to a long-term note payable from Bank of America, N.A., which is collateralized by a security interest in its Charlotte, North Carolina property for $7,125,000 and its Duncan, South Carolina property for $14,632,000. The note accrues interest at a rate of 5.331% per year. The Company may repay this note at any time after June 1, 2015 and not be subject to a prepayment penalty. The note matures on September 1, 2015. The Company used the proceeds from the note to pay down the Company’s line of credit.

On September 12, 2005, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, borrowed $12,588,000 pursuant to a long-term note payable from JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., which is collateralized by a security interest in its Akron, Ohio property for $7,560,000, its Canton, Ohio property for $2,950,000, and its Dayton, Ohio property for $2,078,000. The note accrues interest at a rate of 5.21% per year. The note matures on September 1, 2015, and the Company may not repay this note at any time before maturity. The Company used the proceeds from the note to pay down the Company’s line of credit.

11. Subsequent Events

On October 3, 2005, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that will allow the Company to issue additional equity securities in one or more offerings up to an aggregate dollar amount of $75 million. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on October 24, 2005. The registration statement provides for the issuance of both common stock and preferred stock, the terms of which would be determined in the future by the Company’s board of

directors. The Company has no current plans to conduct an offering under the registration statement. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from any offerings pursuant to the shelf registration statement to make additional investments and fund its continuing operations.

On October 11, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company considered the possibility of entering into a new advisory agreement with the Adviser, which would provide for a performance-based incentive structure, rather than the structure under the current advisory agreement which provides for a pass through of costs incurred by the Adviser in connection with the management of the Company’s operations. The Board of Directors agreed to explore this possibility further and agreed that any proposed advisory agreement would be submitted to stockholders for approval before being implemented. The Company has not yet determined the terms that would be contained in the proposed advisory agreement or when, if ever, such an agreement will be presented to stockholders for approval.

On October 17, 2005, the Company acquired a 70,598 square foot industrial building in Newburyport, Massachusetts for $7.8 million, including transaction costs, and the purchase was funded using borrowings from the Company’s line of credit. Upon acquisition of the property, the Company was assigned the previously existing triple net lease with the sole tenant, which had a remaining term of approximately seven years at the time of assignment. The tenant also has one option to extend the lease for an additional period of five years. The lease provides for annual rents of approximately $669,000 in 2006, with prescribed escalations thereafter.

On October 31, 2005, the Company acquired a 291,142 square foot industrial manufacturing facility in Clintonville, Wisconsin for $5.2 million, including transaction costs, and the purchase was funded using borrowings from the Company’s line of credit. The Company, upon acquisition of the property, extended a fifteen year triple net lease with the sole tenant, and the tenant has three options to extend the lease for additional periods of five years each. The lease provides for annual rents of approximately $499,000 in 2006, with prescribed escalations thereafter.

Overview

We were incorporated under the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland on February 14, 2003 primarily for the purpose of investing in and owning net leased industrial and commercial rental property and selectively making long-term mortgage loans collateralized by industrial and commercial property. We expect that a large portion of our tenants and borrowers will be small and medium-sized businesses that have significant buyout fund ownership and will be well capitalized, with equity constituting between 20% and 40% of their permanent capital. We expect that other tenants and borrowers will be family-owned businesses that have built significant equity from paying down the mortgage loans securing their real estate or through the appreciation in the value of their real estate. We seek to enter into purchase agreements for real estate that have triple net leases with terms of approximately 15 years, with rent increases built into the leases. Under a triple net lease, the tenant is required to pay all operating, maintenance and insurance costs and real estate taxes with respect to the leased property. At September 30, 2005, we owned twenty-five properties and had two mortgage loans. We have also acquired two properties subsequent to September 30, 2005. We are actively communicating with buyout funds, real estate brokers and other third parties to locate properties for potential acquisition or mortgage financing in an effort to build our portfolio.

We conduct substantially all of our activities through, and all of our properties are held directly or indirectly by, Gladstone Commercial Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership formed on May 28, 2003, which we refer to as our “Operating Partnership.” We control our Operating Partnership through our wholly owned subsidiary Gladstone Commercial Partners, LLC, which serves as the Operating Partnership’s sole general partner, and we also own all limited partnership units of our Operating Partnership. We expect our Operating Partnership to issue limited partnership units from time to time in exchange for industrial and commercial real property. By structuring our acquisitions in this manner, the sellers of the real estate will generally be able to defer the realization of gains until they redeem the limited partnership units. Limited partners who hold limited partnership units in our Operating Partnership will be entitled to redeem these units for cash or, at our election, shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis at any time. Whenever we issue common stock for cash, we will be obligated to contribute any net proceeds we receive from the sale of the stock to our Operating Partnership and our Operating Partnership will, in turn, be obligated to issue an equivalent number of limited partnership units to us. Our Operating Partnership will distribute the income it generates from its operations to Gladstone Commercial Partners, LLC and its limited partners, including us, on a pro rata basis. We will, in turn, distribute the amounts we receive from our Operating Partnership to our stockholders in the form of monthly cash distributions. We have historically operated, and intend to continue to operate, so as to qualify as a REIT for federal tax purposes, thereby generally avoiding federal and state income taxes on the distributions we make to our stockholders.

Gladstone Management Corporation, a registered investment adviser and an affiliate of ours, serves as our external adviser (our “Adviser”). Our Adviser is responsible for managing our business on a day-to-day basis and for identifying and making acquisitions and dispositions that it believes meets our investment criteria.

Mortgage Loans

On March 16, 2005 we borrowed $3,150,000 pursuant to a long-term note payable from Key Bank National Association, which is collateralized by a security interest in our Canton, North Carolina property. The note accrues interest at an initial interest rate of 6.33% per year until the anticipated repayment date of April 1, 2010. Monthly payments on the note are based upon a twenty-five year term, with both principal and interest being paid each month. If the note is not repaid before the anticipated repayment date, interest will accrue on the remaining outstanding principal balance from and after the anticipated repayment date at the greater of the initial interest rate plus 2%, or the treasury rate for the week ending prior to the anticipated

repayment date plus 2%. We may repay this note at any time after September 23, 2009 and not be subject to a prepayment penalty. The note matures on April 1, 2030, however we expect to repay the note in full prior to the anticipated repayment date. We used the proceeds from the note to acquire additional investments for our portfolio.

On July 19, 2005 we, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into two separate long-term notes payable with the RBC Life Insurance Company, which are collateralized by our Canadian Properties. We borrowed $2.1 million in Canadian dollars, which translated to $1.7 million in US dollars as of July 19, 2005, and the loan is collateralized by a security interest in our Montreal, Quebec property. We borrowed an additional $3.4 million in Canadian dollars, which translated to $2.8 million in US dollars as of July 19, 2005, and the loan is collateralized by a security interest in our Granby, Quebec property. These notes both accrue interest at an interest rate of 5.22% per year. Monthly payments on the notes are based upon a twenty-five year term, with both principal and interest being paid each month. The notes mature on August 1, 2015, and we do not have the right to prepay the principal amount prior to the maturity date on either note. We used the proceeds from the notes to pay down our line of credit.

On August 25, 2005 we, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, borrowed $21,757,000 pursuant to a long-term note payable from Bank of America, N.A., which is collateralized by a security interest in our Charlotte, North Carolina property for $7,125,000 and our Duncan, South Carolina property for $14,632,000. The note accrues interest at a rate of 5.331% per year. We may repay this note at any time after June 1, 2015 and not be subject to a prepayment penalty. The note matures on September 1, 2015.

The note accrues interest at a rate of 5.21% per year. We used the proceeds from the note to pay down our line of credit.

Expenses

Prior to October 1, 2004, our Adviser had an expense sharing arrangement with Gladstone Capital Advisers, a wholly-owned subsidiary of our affiliate, Gladstone Capital Corporation, through which our entire workforce was employed. Under that relationship, our Adviser reimbursed Gladstone Capital Advisers for a portion of Gladstone Capital Advisers’ total payroll and benefits expenses (based on the percentage of total hours worked by Gladstone Capital Advisers’ employees on our matters on an employee-by-employee basis) and a portion of Gladstone Capital Advisers’ total overhead expense (based on the percentage of total hours worked by all Gladstone Capital Advisers’ employees on our matters). In turn, subject to the terms and conditions of our advisory agreement, our Adviser passed these charges on to us. Effective October 1, 2004, the expense sharing arrangement with Gladstone Capital Advisers was terminated, and all of our personnel are now directly employed by our Adviser. Pursuant to the terms of our advisory agreement, we continue to be responsible for a portion of our Adviser’s total payroll and benefits expenses (based on the percentage of time our Adviser’s employees devote to our matters on an employee-by-employee basis) and a portion of our Adviser’s total overhead expense (based on the percentage of time worked by all of our Adviser’s employees on our matters). The termination of the arrangement between our Adviser and Gladstone Capital Advisers has not materially changed the level of our expenses.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, payroll and benefits expenses, which are part of the management fee paid to our Adviser, were approximately $445,000 and $1,129,000, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, payroll and benefits expenses were approximately $266,000 and $647,000, respectively. The actual amount of payroll and benefits expenses which we will be required to reimburse our Adviser in the future is not determinable, but we currently estimate that during the year ending December 31, 2005 this amount will be approximately $1.5 million. This estimate is based on our current expectations regarding our Adviser’s payroll and benefits expenses

and the proportion of our Adviser’s time we believe will be spent on matters relating to our business. To the extent that our Adviser’s payroll and benefits expenses are greater than we expect or our Adviser allocates a greater percentage of its time to our business, our actual reimbursement of our Adviser for our share of its payroll and benefits expenses could be materially greater than we currently project.

We compensate our Adviser through reimbursement of our portion of our Adviser’s payroll, benefits and general overhead expenses. This reimbursement is generally subject to a combined annual management fee limitation of 2.0% of our average invested assets for the year, with certain exceptions. Reimbursement for overhead expenses is only required up to the point that reimbursed overhead expenses and payroll and benefits expenses, on a combined basis, equal 2.0% of our average invested assets for the year, and general overhead expenses are required to be reimbursed only if the amount of payroll and benefits reimbursed to our Adviser is less than 2.0% of our average invested assets for the year. However, payroll and benefits expenses are required to be reimbursed by us to the extent that they exceed the overall 2.0% annual management fee limitation. To the extent that overhead expenses payable or reimbursable by us exceed this limit and our independent directors determine that the excess expenses were justified based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient, we may reimburse our Adviser in future years for the full amount of the excess expenses, or any portion thereof, but only to the extent that the reimbursement would not cause our overhead expense reimbursements to exceed the 2.0% limitation in any year. To date, the advisory fee has not exceeded the annual cap.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the amount of overhead expenses that we reimbursed our Adviser was approximately $163,000 and $436,000, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, the amount of overhead expenses that we reimbursed our Adviser was approximately $68,000 and $196,000, respectively. The actual amount of overhead expenses for which we will be required to reimburse our Adviser in the future is not determinable, but we currently estimate that during the year ending December 31, 2005 this amount will be approximately $600,000.

Under the terms of the advisory agreement, we are responsible for all expenses incurred for our direct benefit. Examples of these expenses include, legal, accounting, tax preparation, directors and officers insurance, consulting and related fees. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the total amount of these expenses that we incurred was approximately $1,210,000 and $2,371,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, the total amount of these expenses was $174,000 and $868,000, respectively.

In addition, we are also responsible for all fees charged by third parties that are directly related to our business, which may include real estate brokerage fees, mortgage placement fees, lease-up fees and transaction structuring fees (although we may be able to pass some or all of such fees on to our tenants and borrowers). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, we passed all such fees along to our tenants, and accordingly we did not incur any such fees during this time. The actual amount of such fees that we incur in the future will depend largely upon the aggregate costs of the properties we acquire, the aggregate amount of mortgage loans we make, and the extent to which we are able to shift the burden of such fees to our tenants and borrowers. Accordingly, the amount of these fees that we will pay in the future is not determinable at this time.

On October 11, 2005, our board of directors considered the possibility of entering into a new advisory agreement with our Adviser, which would provide for a performance-based incentive structure, rather than the structure under the current advisory agreement which provides for a pass through of costs incurred by our Adviser in connection with the management of our operations. Our board of directors agreed to explore this possibility further and agreed that any proposed advisory agreement would be submitted to stockholders for approval before being implemented. We have not yet determined the terms that would be contained in the proposed advisory agreement or when, if ever, such an agreement will be presented to stockholders for approval.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management believes our most critical accounting policies are revenue recognition (including straight-line rent), investment accounting, purchase price allocation, determining the risk rating of our potential tenants, accounting for our investments in real estate, provision for loans losses, the accounting for our derivative and hedging activities, if any, income taxes and stock based compensation. Each of these items involves estimates that require management to make judgments that are subjective in nature. Management relies on its experience, collects historical data and current market data, and analyzes these assumptions in order to arrive at what it believes to be reasonable estimates. Under different conditions or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported related to the accounting policies described below. In addition, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgments on the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Rental revenues include rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. Because certain of our leases contain rental increases at specified intervals, straight-line basis accounting requires us to record as an asset, and include in revenues, deferred rent receivable that we will only receive if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. Deferred rent receivable in the accompanying balance sheets includes the cumulative difference between rental revenue as recorded on a straight-line basis and rents received from the tenants in accordance with the lease terms, along with the capitalized above-market lease values of certain acquired properties. Accordingly, our management must determine, in its judgment, to what extent the deferred rent receivable applicable to each specific tenant is collectible. We review deferred rent receivable, as is it relates to straight line rents, on a quarterly basis and take into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. In the event that the collectibility of deferred rent with respect to any given tenant is in doubt, we would record an increase in our allowance for uncollectible accounts or record a direct write-off of the specific rent receivable, which would have an adverse effect on our net income for the year in which the reserve is increased or the direct write-off is recorded and would decrease our total assets and stockholders’ equity.

Investment Accounting

Management considers its loans and other lending investments to be held-for-investment. We reflect held-for-investment investments at amortized cost less allowance for loan losses, acquisition premiums or discounts, deferred loan fees and undisbursed loan funds. On occasion, we may acquire loans at small premiums or discounts based on the credit characteristics of such loans. These premiums or discounts are recognized as yield adjustments over the lives of the related loans. Loan origination or exit fees, as well as direct loan origination costs, are also deferred and recognized over the lives of the related loans as yield adjustments. If loans with premiums, discounts, loan origination or exit fees are prepaid, we immediately recognize the unamortized portion as a decrease or increase in the prepayment gain or loss. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method applied on a loan-by-loan basis. Prepayment penalties or yield maintenance payments from borrowers are recognized as additional income when received.

Purchase Price Allocation

We account for acquisitions of real estate in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” which requires the purchase price of real estate to be allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, the value of unamortized lease origination costs and the value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values.

Management’s estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis). Factors considered by management in its analysis include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. We also consider information obtained about each property as a result of our pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. In estimating carrying costs, management also 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 nine to eighteen months, depending on specific local market conditions. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses to the extent that such costs are not already incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction.

The total amount of other intangible assets acquired are allocated to in-place lease values and customer relationship intangible values based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with that respective tenant. Characteristics to be considered by management in allocating these values include the nature and extent of our existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals (including those existing under the terms of the lease agreement), among other factors.

We amortize the value of in-place leases to expense over the initial term of the respective leases, which generally range from five to twenty years. The value of customer relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event will the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles would be charged to expense.

We record above-market and below-market in-place lease values for owned properties 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) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. We amortize the capitalized above-market lease values, included in the accompanying balance sheet as part of deferred rent receivable, as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. We will amortize any capitalized below-market lease values as an increase to rental income over the initial term and any fixed-rate renewal periods in the respective leases.

Risk Rating

In evaluating each transaction that it considers for investment, our Adviser seeks to assess the risk associated with the potential tenant or borrower. For companies that have debt that has been rated by a national credit ratings agency, our Adviser uses the rating as determined by such ratings agency. For companies that do not have publicly rated debt, our Adviser calculates and assigns to our borrowers and tenants a risk rating under our ten-point risk rating scale. Our risk rating system is designed to assess qualitative and quantitative risks associated with our prospective tenants and borrowers. We have developed our risk rating system to approximate the risk rating systems of major credit ratings agencies. While we seek to mirror the systems of these credit ratings agencies, we cannot assure you that our risk rating system provides the same risk rating for a particular tenant or borrower as a credit ratings agency would. The following chart is an estimate of the relationship of our risk rating system to the designations used by two credit ratings agencies to rate the risk of public debt securities of major companies. Because we have established our system to rate the risk associated with mortgage loans and real estate leases to private companies that are unrated by any credit ratings agency, we cannot assure you that the correlation between our system and the credit ratings set out below is accurate.

		First		Second
Our		Ratings		Ratings
System		Agency		Agency		Description (a)
>10		Baa2		BBB		Probability of default during the next ten years is 4% and the expected loss is 1% or less
10		Baa3		BBB-		Probability of default during the next ten years is 5% and the expected loss is 1% to 2%
9		Ba1		BB+		Probability of default during the next ten years is 10% and the expected loss is 2% to 3%
8		Ba2		BB		Probability of default during the next ten years is 16% and the expected loss is 3% to 4%
7		Ba3		BB-		Probability of default during the next ten years is 17.8% and the expected loss is 4% to 5%
6		B1		B+		Probability of default during the next ten years is 22% and the expected loss is 5% to 6.5%
5		B2		B		Probability of default during the next ten years is 25% and the expected loss is 6.5% to 8%
4		B3		B-		Probability of default during the next ten years is 27% and the expected loss is 8% to 10%
3		Caa1		CCC+		Probability of default during the next ten years is 30% and the expected loss is 10% to 13.3%
2		Caa2		CCC		Probability of default during the next ten years is 35% and the expected loss is 13.3% to 16.7%
1		Caa3		CC		Probability of default during the next ten years is 65% and the expected loss is 16.7% to 20%
0		N/a		D		Probability of default during the next ten years is 85%, or there is a payment default, and the expected loss is greater than 20%

We generally anticipate entering into transactions with tenants or borrowers that have a risk rating of at least 4 based on the above scale or, for tenants or borrowers whose debt rating is at least B3 or B-. Once we have entered into a transaction, we periodically re-evaluate the risk rating, or debt rating as applicable, of the investment for purposes of determining whether we should increase our reserves for loan losses or allowance for uncollectible rent. To date there have been no allowances for uncollectible rent or reserves for loan losses. Our board of directors may alter our risk rating system from time to time.

The following table reflects the average risk rating of our tenants and borrowers:

Rating		9/30/2005				12/31/2004
Average			8.4				7.8
Weighted Average			8.5				7.6
Highest			10.0				10.0
Lowest			6.0				6.0

Investments in Real Estate

We record investments in real estate at cost and we capitalize improvements and replacements when they extend the useful life or improve the efficiency of the asset. We expense costs of repairs and maintenance as incurred. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 39 years for buildings and improvements, five to seven years for equipment and fixtures and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.

We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to record on an annual basis with respect to our investments in real estate. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income because, if we were to shorten the expected useful lives of our investments in real estate, we would depreciate these investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower net income on an annual basis.

We have adopted SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which establishes a single accounting model for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets including discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 requires that the operations related to properties that have been sold or that we intend to sell be presented as discontinued operations in the statement of operations for all periods presented, and properties we intend to sell be designated as “held for sale” on our balance sheet.

When circumstances such as adverse market conditions indicate a possible impairment of the value of a property, we review the recoverability of the property’s carrying value. The review of recoverability is based on our estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. Our forecast of these cash flows considers factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, 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 property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. We are required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the values of our investments in real estate.

Provision for Loan Losses

Our accounting policies require that we reflect in our financial statements an allowance for estimated credit losses with respect to mortgage loans we have made based upon our evaluation of known and inherent risks associated with our private lending assets. We have extended two mortgage loans and have not experienced any actual losses in connection with our lending investments. Management reflects provisions for loan losses on a portfolio basis based upon our assessment of general market conditions, our internal risk management policies and credit risk rating system, industry loss experience, our assessment of the likelihood of delinquencies or defaults, and the value of the collateral underlying our investments. Actual losses, if any, could ultimately differ materially from these estimates.

Accounting for Derivative Financial Investments and Hedging Activities

We will account for our derivative and hedging activities, if any, using SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended by SFAS No. 137, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” and SFAS No. 149 “Amendment of Statement 133 on

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which requires all derivative instruments to be carried at fair value on the balance sheet.

Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, will be considered cash flow hedges. We will formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking each hedge transaction. We will periodically review the effectiveness of each hedging transaction, which involves estimating future cash flows. Cash flow hedges will be accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability, with a corresponding amount recorded in other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity. Amounts will be reclassified from other comprehensive income to the income statement in the period or periods the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, will be considered fair value hedges under SFAS No. 133. As of September 30, 2005, we were not a party to any separate derivatives contract. Certain of our leases and loans contain embedded derivatives, principally LIBOR floors, which do not require separate accounting.

Income Taxes

Our financial results generally do not reflect provisions for current or deferred income taxes. Management believes that we have operated and will operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify as a REIT and, as a result, we do not expect to pay substantial corporate-level income taxes. Many of the requirements for REIT qualification, however, are highly technical and complex. If we were to fail to meet these requirements, we would be subject to federal income tax which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and amounts available for distributions to our stockholders.

Stock Based Compensation

We currently apply the intrinsic value method to account for the issuance of stock options under our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” where appropriate. In this regard, the substantial portion of these options were granted to individuals who are our officers and who qualify as leased employees under FASB Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25.” Accordingly, because the grants were at exercise prices equal to the fair value of the stock at date of grant, we did not record any expense related to the issuance of these options under the intrinsic value method. We will adopt SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” effective January 1, 2006, which will require us to begin expensing any unvested and future stock options as compensation cost.
