Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), relating to our business and financial outlook which are based on our current expectations, beliefs, projections, forecasts, future plans and strategies, and anticipated events or trends. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as may, will, should, expects, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, potential or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. We intend these forward-looking statements, which are not guarantees of future performance and financial condition, to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts. Instead, such statements reflect estimates and assumptions and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict or anticipate.

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date this Form 10-Q is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the risks described in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 11, 2005, as the same may be supplemented from time to time. These factors include, without limitation, the following:

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. | ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS | |||
Trizec Properties, Inc. (Trizec Properties or the Corporation, formerly known as TrizecHahn (USA) Corporation) is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and is approximately 39% indirectly owned by Trizec Canada Inc. Effective January 1, 2001, Trizec Properties elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) pursuant to Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). On February 14, 2002, the amended registration statement on Form 10 of Trizec Properties was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and, accordingly, Trizec Properties became subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Prior to that, Trizec Properties was a substantially owned subsidiary of TrizecHahn Corporation (TrizecHahn), an indirect whollyowned subsidiary of Trizec Canada Inc. A plan of arrangement (the Reorganization) was approved by the TrizecHahn shareholders on April 23, 2002, and on May 8, 2002, the effective date of the Reorganization, the common stock of Trizec Properties commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange. | ||||
On December 22, 2004, Trizec Properties completed the reorganization of its operating structure by converting to an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust, or UPREIT, structure (the UPREIT Conversion). In connection with the UPREIT Conversion, the Corporation formed a new operating entity, Trizec Holdings Operating LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the Operating Company), and entered into a contribution agreement and an assignment and assumption agreement with the Operating Company pursuant to which the Corporation contributed substantially all of its assets to the Operating Company in exchange for (a) a combination of common units, special voting units and Series F convertible units of limited liability company interest in the Operating Company and (b) the assumption by the Operating Company of substantially all of the Corporations liabilities. The Corporation now conducts and intends to continue to conduct its business, and owns and intends to continue to own substantially all of its assets, through the Operating Company. As the sole managing member of the Operating Company, the Corporation generally has the exclusive power under the limited liability company agreement to manage and conduct the business of the Operating Company, subject to certain limited approval and voting rights of other members that may be admitted in the future. Currently, the Operating Company is wholly-owned by the Corporation. | ||||
Trizec Properties is a self-managed, publicly traded REIT, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. At March 31, 2005, the Corporation had ownership interests in a portfolio of 52 office properties concentrated in the metropolitan areas of seven major U.S. cities, comprising approximately 37.3 million square feet of total area. Of the 52 office properties, 45 office properties comprising approximately 30.3 million square feet are consolidated and seven office properties comprising approximately 7.0 million square feet are unconsolidated real estate joint venture properties. Based on owned area, the Corporations 52 office properties comprise approximately 33.8 million square feet. At March 31, 2005, the occupancy of the Corporations 52 office properties was approximately 88.0% based on total area. Occupancy of the Corporations 45 consolidated office properties was approximately 88.6% and occupancy of the Corporations seven unconsolidated real estate joint venture properties was approximately 85.7%. Based on owned area, the Corporations 52 office properties were approximately 88.3% occupied. Owned area reflects the Corporations consolidated office properties and its pro rata share of its unconsolidated real estate joint venture properties based on its economic ownership interest in those unconsolidated real estate joint ventures. | ||||
2. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |||
Basis of Presentation | ||||
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 include the accounts and operating results of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. | ||||
The Corporation consolidates certain entities in which it owns less than a 100% equity interest if it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity (VIE), as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities an interpretation of ARB 51 (FIN No. 46R). The Corporation also consolidates entities in which it has a |

Notes to the Financial Statements
2. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued | |||
Basis of Presentation, Continued | ||||
controlling direct or indirect voting interest. The equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which the Corporation does not have a controlling direct or indirect voting interest, but can exercise influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions. The cost method is applied to entities when (i) the Corporations investment is minimal (typically less than 5%) and (ii) the Corporations investment is passive. | ||||
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (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 amounts will differ from those estimates used in the preparation of these financial statements. | ||||
Interim Financial Statements | ||||
The accompanying interim financial statements and related notes are unaudited; however, the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, such financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Corporation for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Corporations financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Corporations 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 11, 2005. | ||||
Stock Based Compensation | ||||
Effective July 1, 2003, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123), as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure (SFAS No. 148). The Corporation is applying the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, prospectively to all employee stock options granted after December 31, 2002. For employee stock option grants accounted for under SFAS No. 123, compensation cost is measured as the fair value of the stock option at the date of grant. This compensation cost is expensed over the vesting period. For employee stock options issued prior to January 1, 2003, the Corporation will continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25), and related interpretations. For employee stock option grants accounted for under APB No. 25, compensation cost is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the Corporations common stock at the date of grant over the exercise price of the options granted. This compensation cost, if any, is expensed over the vesting period. Except as detailed in Note 19 of the Corporations 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K with respect to employee stock options that were granted in connection with the Reorganization, the Corporations policy is to grant options with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the Corporations common stock at the date of the grant. Stock option grant expense of $59 and $202 was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. | ||||
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)). SFAS No. 123(R) is a revision of SFAS No. 123 and also supercedes APB No. 25 and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that compensation cost is measured as the fair value of the stock option at the date of grant, eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic value method of accounting prescribed in APB No. 25, |
10
Notes to the Financial Statements
2. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued | |||
Stock Based Compensation, Continued | ||||
and clarifies and expands the guidance of SFAS No. 123 in several areas. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005.

9. | CONTINGENCIES | |||
Litigation | ||||
The Corporation is contingently liable under guarantees that are issued in the normal course of business and with respect to litigation and claims arising from time to time. While the final outcome with respect to claims and litigation pending at March 31, 2005 cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management, any liability which may arise from such contingencies would not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Corporation. | ||||
Concentration of Credit Risk | ||||
The Corporation maintains its cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions. The combined account balances at each institution typically exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. Management believes that this risk is not significant. | ||||
The Corporation performs ongoing credit evaluations of tenants and may require tenants to provide some form of credit support, such as corporate guarantees and/or other financial guarantees. Although the Corporations properties are geographically diverse and tenants operate in a variety of industries, to the |

extent the Corporation has a significant concentration of rental revenue from any single tenant, the inability of that tenant to make its lease payments could have an adverse effect on the Corporation. | ||||
Environmental | ||||
The Corporation, as an owner of real estate, is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental matters. Under these laws, the Corporation is exposed to liability primarily as an owner or operator of real property and, as such, may be responsible for the cleanup or other remediation of contaminated property. Contamination for which the Corporation may be liable could include historic contamination, spills of hazardous materials in the course of its tenants regular business operations and spills or releases of hydraulic or other toxic oils. An owner or operator can be liable for contamination or hazardous or toxic substances in some circumstances whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such contamination or hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, the presence of contamination or hazardous or toxic substances on property, or the failure to properly clean up or remediate such contamination or hazardous or toxic substances when present, may materially and adversely affect the ability to sell or lease such contaminated property or to borrow using such property as collateral. | ||||
Asbestos-containing material (ACM) is present in some of the Corporations properties. Environmental laws govern the presence, maintenance and removal of asbestos. The Corporation believes that it manages ACM in accordance with applicable laws and plans to continue managing ACM as appropriate and in accordance with applicable laws and believes that the cost to do so will not be material. | ||||
The cost of compliance with existing environmental laws has not had a material adverse effect on the Corporations financial condition and results of operations, and the Corporation does not believe it will have such an impact in the future. In addition, the Corporation has not incurred, and does not expect to incur, any material costs or liabilities due to environmental contamination at properties it currently owns or has owned in the past. However, the Corporation cannot predict the impact of new or changed laws or regulations on its properties or on properties that it may acquire in the future. The Corporation has no current plans for substantial capital expenditures with respect to compliance with environmental laws. | ||||
Insurance | ||||
The Corporation carries insurance on its properties of types and in amounts that it believes are in line with coverage customarily obtained by owners of similar properties. The Corporation believes all of its properties are adequately insured. The property insurance that has been maintained historically has been on an all risk basis, which, until 2003, included losses caused by acts of terrorism. Following the terrorist activity of September 11, 2001 and the resulting uncertainty in the insurance market, insurance companies generally excluded insurance against acts of terrorism from their all risk policies. As a result, the Corporations all risk insurance coverage contained specific exclusions for losses attributable to acts of terrorism. In light of this development, for 2003 the Corporation purchased stand-alone terrorism insurance on a portfolio-wide basis with annual aggregate limits that it considers commercially reasonable, considering the availability and cost of such coverage. Such terrorism coverage carried an aggregate limit of $250,000 on a portfolio-wide basis. Effective December 31, 2003, the Corporation amended its insurance coverage for acts of terrorism as a result of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (TRIA) enacted by Congress and signed into law by President Bush in November 2002. Effective December 31, 2003, the Corporation formed a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary, Concord Insurance Limited (Concord), to act as a captive insurance company and be the primary carrier with respect to its terrorism insurance program. The Corporations expired terrorism insurance program that provided a limit of $250,000 in the aggregate per year was replaced with a terrorism insurance program with a limit of $500,000 per occurrence, as prescribed under the provisions of TRIA. This current terrorism insurance program provides coverage for certified nuclear, chemical and biological exposure, whereas the previous insurance program did not cover such exposure. Under TRIA, the Corporation has a per occurrence |
21

Insurance, Continued | ||||
deductible of $100 and retains responsibility for 10% of the cost of each nuclear, chemical and biological certified event up to a maximum of $50,000 per occurrence. If the certified terrorism event is not found to be a nuclear, chemical or biological event, the Corporations 10% exposure is limited to the $100 deductible. The federal government is obligated to cover the remaining 90% of the loss above the deductible up to $100,000,000 in the aggregate annually. Since the limit with respect to the Corporations portfolio may be less than the value of the affected properties, terrorist acts could result in property damage in excess of its current coverage, which could result in significant losses to the Corporation due to the loss of capital invested in the property, the loss of revenues from the impacted property and the capital that would have to be invested in that property. Any such circumstance could have a material adverse effect on the Corporations financial condition and results of operations. In the future, the Corporation may obtain different coverage depending on the availability and cost of third party insurance in the marketplace. | ||||
During 2003, the Corporation received notices to the effect that its insurance coverage against acts of terrorism may not comply with loan covenants under certain debt agreements. The Corporation reviewed its coverage and believes that it complied with these documents and that its insurance coverage adequately protected the lenders interests. The Corporation initiated discussions with these lenders to satisfy their concerns and assure that their interests and the Corporations interests are adequately protected. As a result of the Corporations discussions, the lenders who sent such notices in 2003 accepted the insurance coverage that the Corporation provided, one of whom did so with a formal irrevocable waiver for the 2003 policies. The Corporation did not receive any such notices or waivers in 2004 or the first quarter of 2005. | ||||
The new terrorism insurance program described above became effective on December 31, 2003. Because the program relies upon TRIA, which was not signed into law until November 2002, it may not conform to the formal insurance requirements of the loan covenants that pre-dated TRIA. While the Corporation believes it is in compliance with its loan covenants, a lender may take the position that the Corporations insurance program is not in compliance with covenants in a debt agreement and the Corporation could be deemed to be in default under the agreement. In that case, the Corporation may decide to obtain insurance to replace or supplement its insurance program in order to fulfill the lenders request. While the Corporation believes its terrorism insurance coverage meets the formal and substantive provisions of its loan agreements, a lender under one of its loan agreements has verbally indicated that the Corporations terrorism insurance may not meet the precise requirements of a loan agreement. The Corporation has not received, nor does it expect to receive, a notice of default from the lender. Furthermore, the lender has stated that a written waiver will be provided to the Corporation or that the loan will be amended to ensure that the Corporations coverage will be compliant. In the future, the Corporations ability to obtain debt financing, and/or the terms of such financing, may be adversely affected if lenders insist upon additional requirements or greater insurance coverage against acts of terrorism than may be available to the Corporation in the marketplace at rates, or on terms, that are commercially reasonable. | ||||
Effective May 1, 2004, the Corporation elected to also utilize Concord to underwrite its general liability and workers compensation insurance programs. Under such insurance programs, the Corporation is generally responsible for up to $250 per claim for both general liability and workers compensation. The Corporation maintains excess liability insurance with independent insurance carriers to minimize risks related to catastrophic claims. Liabilities associated with the risks that are retained by the Corporation are estimated, in part, by considering historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and other actuarial assumptions. The estimated accruals for these liabilities could be significantly affected if future occurrences and claims differ from these assumptions and historical trends. | ||||
Insofar as the Corporation owns Concord, it is responsible for its liquidity and capital resources, and the accounts of Concord are part of the Corporations consolidated financial statements. If the Corporation experiences a loss and Concord is required to pay under its insurance policies, the Corporation would ultimately record the loss to the extent of Concords required payment. |

Insurance, Continued | ||||
Effective December 31, 2004, the Corporation formed Concordia Insurance L.L.C. and Chapman Insurance L.L.C. to underwrite terrorism, general liability and workers compensation insurance programs for its wholly-owned and joint venture properties, respectively. Effective December 31, 2004, Concord will underwrite terrorism, general liability and workers compensation insurance programs only for properties with respect to which the Corporation has third party management agreements. | ||||
The Corporation has earthquake insurance on its properties located in areas known to be subject to earthquakes in an amount and subject to deductibles that the Corporation believes are commercially reasonable. However, the amount of earthquake insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all losses from earthquakes. Since the limit with respect to the Corporations portfolio may be less than the value of the affected properties, earthquakes could result in property damage in excess of its current coverage, which could result in significant losses to the Corporation due to the loss of capital invested in the property, the loss of revenues from the impacted property and the capital that would have to be invested in that property. Any such circumstances could have a material adverse effect on the Corporations financial condition and results of operations. As a result of increased costs of coverage and decreased availability, the amounts of the third party earthquake insurance the Corporation may be able to purchase on commercially reasonable terms may be reduced. In addition, the Corporation may discontinue earthquake insurance on some or all of its properties in the future if the premiums exceed the Corporations estimate of the value of the coverage. | ||||
There are other types of losses, such as from acts of war, acts of bio-terrorism or the presence of mold at the Corporations properties, for which coverage is not available in the market to the Corporation or other purchasers of commercial insurance policies. With respect to such losses and losses from acts of terrorism, earthquakes or other catastrophic events, if the Corporation experiences a loss that is uninsured or that exceeds policy limits, it could lose the capital invested in the damaged properties, as well as the anticipated future revenues from those properties. Depending on the specific circumstances of each affected property, it is possible that the Corporation could be liable for mortgage indebtedness or other obligations related to the property. Any such loss could materially and adversely affect the Corporations business and financial condition and results of operations. | ||||
Additionally, although the Corporation generally obtains owners title insurance policies with respect to its properties, the amount of coverage under such policies may be less than the full value of such properties. If a loss occurs resulting from a title defect with respect to a property where there is no title insurance or the loss is in excess of insured limits, the Corporation could lose all or part of its investment in, and anticipated income and cash flows from, such property. |

10. | SEGMENT INFORMATION | |||
The Corporation has determined that its reportable segments are those that are based on the Corporations method of internal reporting, which classifies its office operations by regional geographic area. This reflects a management structure with dedicated regional leasing and property management teams. The Corporations reportable segments by major metropolitan area for office operations in the United States are: Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Washington D.C. and secondary markets. The Corporation primarily evaluates operating performance based on internal operating income, which is defined as total revenue including tenant recoveries, parking, fee and other income less operating expenses and property taxes, and includes properties that have been designated as held for disposition and reported as discontinued operations. Of the properties reported as discontinued operations, two remained unsold at March 31, 2005. Properties included in discontinued operations at March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004 included: two in Atlanta, GA; one in Dallas, TX; one in Houston, TX; one in Los Angeles, CA; one in New York, NY; one in Washington, D.C.; and nine in the secondary markets of Columbia, SC; St. Louis, MO; Columbus, OH; Tulsa, OK; Sacramento, CA; Pittsburgh, PA; and Baltimore, MD. In addition, two retail properties, located in Los Angeles, CA, were included in corporate and other. Internal operating income excludes property related depreciation and amortization expense. The accounting policies for purposes of internal reporting are the same as those described for the Corporation in Note 2 from the Corporations 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Significant Accounting Policies, except that real estate operations conducted through unconsolidated joint ventures are consolidated on a proportionate line-by-line basis, as opposed to the equity method of accounting. All key financing, investing, capital allocation and human resource decisions are managed at the corporate level. |

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
In the remainder of this Form 10-Q, the terms we, us, our and our company refer to Trizec Properties, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Forward-Looking Statements and the consolidated interim financial statements and the notes thereto that appear elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Overview
We are one of the largest fully integrated and self-managed, publicly traded office real estate investment trusts, or REITs, in the United States. We are engaged in owning and managing office properties in the United States. At March 31, 2005, we had total assets of approximately $4.5 billion and owned interests in 52 U.S. office properties containing approximately 37.3 million square feet of total area. Of our 52 office properties, 45 office properties comprising approximately 30.3 million square feet are consolidated and seven office properties comprising approximately 7.0 million square feet are unconsolidated real estate joint venture properties. Based on owned area, our 52 office properties comprise approximately 33.8 million square feet. Owned area reflects the sum of the total square footage of all of our consolidated office properties and our pro rata share of the square footage of our unconsolidated real estate joint venture properties calculated based on our economic ownership interest in those unconsolidated real estate joint ventures. Our office properties are concentrated in seven core markets in the United States located in the following major metropolitan areas: Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, New York and Washington, D.C.
We were launched as a publicly traded U.S. office REIT in May 2002, as part of the reorganization of Canadian-based TrizecHahn Corporation. As part of its reorganization, TrizecHahn Corporation formed Trizec Canada Inc., a Canadian company that, as of March 24, 2005, owned, together with its affiliates, approximately 39% of our common stock and all of our outstanding special voting stock and Class F convertible stock.
On December 22, 2004, we completed the reorganization of our operating structure by converting to an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust, or UPREIT, structure (the UPREIT Conversion). In connection with the UPREIT Conversion, we formed a new operating entity, Trizec Holdings Operating LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the Operating Company), and entered into a contribution agreement and an assignment and assumption agreement with the Operating Company pursuant to which we contributed substantially all of our assets to the Operating Company in exchange for (a) a combination of common units, special voting units and Series F convertible units of limited liability company interest in the Operating Company and (b) the assumption by the Operating Company of substantially all of our liabilities. We now conduct and intend to continue to conduct our business, and own and intend to continue to own substantially all of our assets, through the Operating Company. As the sole managing member of the Operating Company, we generally have the exclusive power under the limited liability company agreement to manage and conduct the business of the Operating Company, subject to certain limited approval and voting rights of the other members that may be admitted in the future. Currently, the Operating Company is wholly-owned by us.
During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we completed the following key transactions:
| In January 2005, we announced the appointment of Brian K. Lipson as Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer. | |||
| In February 2005, we announced the completion of a 15-year lease extension with prominent international law firm Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, LLP at One New York Plaza. Under the lease agreement, which will extend through February 2024, the firm will expand its space from approximately 338,000 square feet to approximately 380,000 square feet. | |||
| In February 2005, we announced the approval of Morgan Stanleys 450,000 square foot sublease agreement with existing tenant Wachovia at One New York Plaza. The term of the sublease runs through December 2014, which is the remaining term of the Wachovia lease. |
28
Subsequent to March 31, 2005, we completed the following key transactions:
| In April 2005, we sold Shoreline Square, located in Long Beach, California, which was designated as held for sale pursuant to SFAS No. 144 at March 31, 2005, for a gross sale price of approximately $87.4 million. | |||
| In April 2005, we acquired 1200 K Street, located in Washington, DC, for approximately $190.0 million. | |||
| In April 2005, we announced the commencement of construction at Waterview, a one-million square foot mixed-use development that will include two 300-foot high towers in Rosslyn, Virginia. The 633,000 square foot, 24-story office building has been leased by The Corporate Executive Board for 20 years. Another 29-story tower will feature 136 condominium residences and a 155-room hotel. |
Critical Accounting Policies
Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 for a discussion of our critical accounting policies, which include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of real estate assets and investments, investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, derivative instruments, fair value of financial instruments, internal leasing costs, insurance and tax liabilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, there were no changes to these policies.
Results of Operations
The following discussion is based on our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.
Trends in Occupancy
The macroeconomic conditions that negatively affected employment levels for office workers, which, in turn, affected the demand for office space, have not significantly changed since the end of 2004. This stagnant demand for office space has resulted in relatively flat occupancy rates, however, we believe that it is likely that demand for office space will gradually improve during the remainder of the year. Despite our belief that office market conditions will improve gradually throughout the remainder of 2005, we anticipate continued downward pressure on market rents, however, not to the extent of the recent past. Our focus for the remainder of the year will be to renew or release expiring space. The table below reflects the occupancy rates at March 31, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004 and shows the percentage of the square feet that will expire during the remainder of the year for our U.S. office portfolio.

For the three months ended March 31, 2005, we leased approximately 1.4 million square feet of new and renewal space on a consolidated basis. Occupancy for our consolidated portfolio was approximately 88.6% at March 31, 2005, compared to approximately 89.8% at December 31, 2004. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2005, leases expired at an average gross rent of approximately $24.45 per square foot and were generally being signed at an average gross rent of approximately $23.59 per square foot.
For the three months ended March 31, 2005, we leased approximately 1.5 million square feet of owned area new and renewal space. Occupancy for our portfolio based on owned area was approximately 88.3% at March 31, 2005, compared to approximately 89.5% at December 31, 2004. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2005, based upon our owned area, leases expired at an average gross rent of approximately $25.42 per square foot and were generally being signed at an average gross rent of approximately $24.57 per square foot.
In an environment of relatively stagnant economic conditions, it is normal to experience increased rental delinquencies and tenant failures. We monitor the financial strength of our key tenants and, therefore, their ability to pay rent and the likelihood that they will continue to pay rent, through a watch list process applied at the local, regional and corporate property management levels. This monitoring process is designed to help us identify significant credit risks. At the end of March 2005, we were closely monitoring tenants with leases representing approximately 1.7% of the leaseable area of our U.S. office portfolio and approximately 1.5% of our annual gross rent for the U.S. office portfolio.

Property Revenues
Property revenues increased by approximately $13.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004. Property revenues increased approximately $12.1 million due to the acquisition of Bank of America Plaza, located in Los Angeles, California, in the third quarter of 2004 and by approximately $2.4 million due to the acquisition of an interest in 2001 M Street, located in Washington D.C., in the fourth quarter of 2004. Rental revenues increased by approximately $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004. The increase is primarily due to an increase in average rental rates in the New York and Washington D.C. markets as well as an overall increase in average occupancy for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004. In addition, parking and other income increased by approximately $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004. This increase is primarily due to an increase in parking and other income of approximately $1.8 million and an increase in termination fees of approximately $0.7 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in property revenues of approximately $0.6 million due to the sale of 151 Front Street, located in Toronto, Ontario, in the first quarter of 2004 and by approximately $4.0 million due to the sale of a 50% interest in Plaza of the Americas, located in Dallas, Texas, in the second quarter of 2004. In addition, there was a decrease of approximately $1.8 million in tenant recoveries and management fee income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in management fees and tenant recoveries of approximately $3.0 million from managed properties, partially offset by an increase in tenant recoveries of approximately $1.2 million due to an increase in recoverable operating expenses.
Lease termination fees are an element of ongoing real estate ownership. Included in the property revenue analysis above, for the three months ended March 31, 2005, we recognized approximately $2.1 million of termination fees compared to approximately $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses increased by approximately $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004. The acquisition of Bank of America Plaza resulted in an increase in property operating expenses of approximately $5.3 million and the acquisition of an interest in 2001 M Street resulted in an increase of approximately $0.9 million. Property operating expenses increased by approximately $0.7 million due to an increase in insurance expense and by approximately $2.9 million due to an increase in property taxes. In addition, repairs and maintenance, security, and other recoverable expenses increased by approximately $1.7 million and bad debt expense increased by approximately $0.4 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in property operating expenses of approximately $0.5 million due to the sale of 151 Front Street and a decrease of approximately $2.7 million due to the sale of a 50% interest in Plaza of the Americas. In addition, a decrease in building management expenses resulted in a decrease in property operating expenses of approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004.
Excluding the impact of lease termination fees on revenues, our gross margin (property revenues, excluding lease termination fees, less property operating expenses) decreased to approximately 53.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from approximately 54.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2004, primarily reflecting an increase in operating expenses.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense includes expenses for corporate and portfolio asset management functions. Expenses for property management and fee-based services are recorded as property operating expenses.
General and administrative expense increased by approximately $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004. This increase is primarily due to an increase in employee compensation, including equity based compensation, as well as separation costs incurred for a departed officer during the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004 and a reversal of bonus accruals for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
33
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004. The acquisition of Bank of America Plaza and the acquisition of an interest in 2001 M Street resulted in an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $6.5 million. In addition, depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $1.3 million primarily due to accelerated depreciation of tenant improvements resulting from early termination of leases and additional depreciation related to tenant improvements incurred subsequent to January 1, 2004. These increases in depreciation and amortization expense were partially offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $1.1 million due to the disposition of a 50% interest in Plaza of the Americas in the second quarter of 2004.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income increased by approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004 primarily due to an increase in average cash balances for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004.
Foreign Currency Exchange Gain
During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we sold 151 Front Street in Toronto, Ontario, recognizing a foreign currency exchange gain of approximately $3.3 million.
(Loss) Gain on Early Debt Retirement
In December 2004, in conjunction with the sale of 250 West Pratt Street, located in Baltimore, Maryland, we and the lender of the mortgage loan collateralized by such property agreed to modify certain terms of the mortgage loan. The lender of the mortgage loan agreed to release the property as collateral for the mortgage loan in consideration of the establishment of an escrow, for the benefit of the lender, in the amount of approximately $28.7 million. The escrow was comprised of funds to be used to repay the full outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan as well as interest payments through January 3, 2005. The escrow funds of approximately $28.7 million were included in restricted cash on our balance sheet at December 31, 2004. On January 3, 2005, the funds held in escrow were released to the lender. In conjunction with the repayment and retirement of the mortgage loan, we recorded a minimal loss on early debt retirement, comprised primarily of the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs.
During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we recorded an aggregate gain on early debt retirement of approximately $0.2 million. We recorded a gain on early debt retirement of approximately $0.9 million related to the sale of Hollywood and Highland Hotel comprised primarily of the forgiveness of debt of approximately $1.2 million, partially offset by the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of approximately $0.3 million. This gain on early debt retirement is partially offset by the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of approximately $0.4 million resulting from the repayment of secured mortgages coinciding with the sale of the underlying properties, as well as the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of approximately $0.3 million due to the refinancing of a $120.0 million mortgage loan.
Recovery on Insurance Claims
During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we received approximately $0.2 million in insurance proceeds related to window replacements at 550 W. Washington in Chicago that were damaged in 2003.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased by approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004. Lower average debt balances outstanding due to early debt retirements, regular principal amortization and lump sum repayments resulted in a decrease in interest expense of approximately $3.2 million. In addition, interest expense decreased by approximately $1.9 million primarily due to
34
certain interest rate swap contracts that were unwound during the fourth quarter of 2004. Additionally, the retirement of debt due to the disposition of 151 Front Street in the first quarter of 2004 decreased interest expense by approximately $0.1 million. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in interest expense of approximately $1.2 million due to a higher outstanding balance on our credit facility. In addition, in conjunction with the acquisition of Bank of America Plaza and the acquisition of an interest in 2001 M Street, we entered into mortgage loans totaling, in the aggregate, approximately $286.5 million which resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $3.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005.
Derivative Loss
During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we recorded a derivative loss of approximately $2.0 million in connection with the ineffective portion of certain interest rate swap agreements that were used to hedge variable rate debt that has been repaid and retired.
Provision for Income and Other Corporate Taxes, Net
Income and other taxes include franchise, capital, alternative minimum and foreign taxes related to ongoing real estate operations. Income and other taxes decreased by approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004 primarily due to lower taxes as a result of property dispositions made during the year ended 2004 and restructuring in connection with the UPREIT Conversion.
Minority Interest
Minority interest loss decreased by approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004. Approximately $0.4 million of the decrease is due to a decrease in the change in the redemption value of the TrizecHahn Mid-Atlantic I Partnerships redeemable units for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004. In addition, preferred returns to the minority interest partner upon the sale of the Hollywood and Highland Hotel in Los Angeles, California resulted in a minority interest loss of approximately $0.6 million during the first quarter of 2004.
Income from Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures
Income from unconsolidated real estate joint ventures decreased by approximately $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004. Income from unconsolidated real estate joint ventures decreased by approximately $2.3 million due to a decrease in the net income on the Grace Building and 1411 Broadway, both of which are located in New York, New York. This decrease primarily resulted from an increase in interest expense related to the refinancing of certain mortgage loans in June 2004 that encumbered these two unconsolidated joint venture properties. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in aggregate net income of approximately $0.1 million for our other unconsolidated real estate joint ventures for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004.
Discontinued Operations
Income from properties classified as discontinued operations decreased by approximately $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004. Income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 includes the net income of properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2003, whereas income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 includes only the net income of the two properties which were designated as held for disposition but had not been sold subsequent to December 31, 2004. In addition, on September 8, 2004, we and the Los Angeles County Assessors Office presented to the Los Angeles County Assessment Appeals Board a written stipulation agreeing to the base year value in 2000, and the 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 assessed values of the Hollywood & Highland Complex, located in Los Angeles, California. The stipulation provided for substantial reductions in the assessed value of the Hollywood & Highland Complex for all years. The Los Angeles County Assessment Appeals Board approved the stipulation and adopted the values as set forth in the stipulation, which resulted in a real estate
35
tax refund. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we received approximately $4.3 million of the real estate tax refund, resulting in a decrease in real estate tax for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004.
During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we recognized a gain on disposition of discontinued real estate of approximately $32.4 million, net of related tax effect, due to the sale of the Hollywood & Highland Complex.
Gain on Disposition of Real Estate, Net
During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we recognized a gain on disposition of real estate, net of the related tax effect, of approximately $14.8 million due to the sale of 151 Front Street in Toronto, Ontario which was subject to the transition rules of SFAS No. 144.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our objective is to ensure, in advance, that there are ample resources to fund ongoing operating expenses, capital expenditures, debt service requirements and the distributions required to maintain our REIT status.
We expect to meet our liquidity requirements over the next twelve months for normal recurring expenditures, non-recurring capital expenditures, potential future acquisitions and developments, major renovations, expansions, scheduled debt maturities, ground lease payments, operational tax obligations, settlement of pre-REIT tax issues and distributions required to maintain our REIT status through cash flows from operations, asset sales, entering into joint venture arrangements or partnerships with equity providers, current cash and credit availability, refinancing of existing mortgage debt, incurrence of secured debt, proceeds from the possible sale of our capital stock or a combination of these sources. Our net cash flow from operations is dependent upon the occupancy levels of our properties, net effective rental rates on current and future leases, collectibility of rent from our tenants, the level of operating and other expenses, as well as other factors. Material changes in these factors may adversely affect our net cash flow from operations.
We expect to meet our liquidity requirements beyond twelve months for normal recurring expenditures, non-recurring capital expenditures, potential future acquisitions and developments, major renovations, expansions, scheduled debt maturities, ground lease payments, operational tax obligations, settlement of pre-REIT tax issues and distributions required to maintain our REIT status through cash flows from operations, asset sales, entering into joint venture arrangements or partnerships with equity providers, current cash and credit availability, refinancing of existing mortgage debt, incurrence of secured debt, proceeds from the possible sale of our capital stock or a combination of these sources. Our net cash flow from operations is dependent upon the occupancy levels of our properties, net effective rental rates on current and future leases, collectibility of rent from our tenants, the level of operating and other expenses, as well as other factors. Material changes in these factors may adversely affect our net cash flow from operations.
We have a $750.0 million unsecured credit facility, which matures in June 2007. The amount available for us to borrow under the unsecured credit facility at any time is determined by certain properties that we, or our subsidiaries that may from time to time guarantee the unsecured credit facility, own that satisfy certain conditions of eligibility. These conditions are not uncommon for unsecured credit facilities of this nature. During the remainder of its term, the amount available for us to borrow under the unsecured credit facility will likely fluctuate. The capacity under the unsecured credit facility may decrease as we sell or place permanent financing on assets currently supporting the unsecured credit facility. In addition, the capacity under the unsecured credit facility may decrease if assets no longer meet certain eligibility requirements. Likewise, the capacity under the unsecured credit facility may increase as certain assets otherwise meet the eligibility requirements. As of March 31, 2005, the amount available for us to borrow under the unsecured credit facility was approximately $458.1 million, of which $150.0 million was outstanding. During the remainder of the term of the unsecured credit facility, we expect the outstanding balance to fluctuate. The balance under the unsecured credit facility will likely increase from time to time as we use funds from the unsecured credit facility to meet a variety of liquidity requirements such as dividend payments, tenant installation costs, future tax payments and acquisitions that may not be fully met through operations. The balance
36
under the unsecured credit facility will also likely be reduced as a result of proceeds generated from asset sales, secured borrowings, operating cash flows and other sources of liquidity.
Under our unsecured credit facility, we are subject to covenants, including financial covenants, restrictions on other indebtedness, restrictions on encumbrances of properties that we use in determining our borrowing capacity and certain customary investment restrictions. The financial covenants include the quarterly requirements for the total leverage ratio not to exceed 65.0% during year one, 62.5% during year two and 60.0% during year three; a requirement that the interest coverage ratio be greater than 2.0 times; a requirement that the fixed charge coverage ratio be greater than 1.5 times; and a requirement that the net worth be in excess of $1.5 billion. Our financial covenants also include a restriction on dividends or distributions of more than 90% of our funds from operations (as defined in the unsecured credit facility agreement). If we are in default in respect of our obligations under the unsecured credit facility agreement, dividends will be limited to the amount necessary to maintain REIT status. At March 31, 2005, we were in compliance with these financial covenants.
We also have available an effective shelf registration statement under which we may offer and sell up to an aggregate amount of $750.0 million of common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares representing shares of our preferred stock and warrants exercisable for common stock or preferred stock. However, our ability to raise funds through sales of common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares representing shares of our preferred stock and common and preferred stock warrants is dependent upon, among other things, general market conditions for REITs, market perceptions about our company, the current trading price of our stock, and the current interest rates. The proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares representing shares of our preferred stock or common and preferred stock warrants, if any, would be used for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, the acquisition of additional properties or the repayment of outstanding indebtedness.
After dividend distributions, our remaining cash from operations may not be sufficient to allow us to retire all of our debt as it comes due. Accordingly, we may be required to refinance maturing debt or repay it utilizing proceeds from property dispositions or issuance of equity securities. Our ability to refinance maturing debt will be dependent on our financial position, the cash flow from our properties, the value of our properties, liquidity in the debt markets and general economic and real estate market conditions. There can be no assurance that such refinancing or proceeds will be available or be available on economical terms when necessary in the future.
Contractual Obligations
Due to the repayment and retirement of a mortgage loan that formerly collateralized 250 West Pratt Street, located in Baltimore, Maryland, we are no longer liable for future mortgage obligations of approximately $28.7 million, which was previously disclosed in the contractual obligations table in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. No other material changes outside the ordinary course of business occurred affecting our contractual obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2005.
Cash Flow Activity
At March 31, 2005, we had approximately $157.2 million in cash and cash equivalents as compared to approximately $194.3 million at December 31, 2004. The increases in cash for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 are a result of the following cash flows:

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was approximately $26.6 million compared to approximately $70.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Cash flows from operations depends primarily on cash generated from lease payments for leased spaces at our office properties. The change in cash flows from operating activities is primarily attributable to the factors discussed in our analysis of results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004 as well as the timing of receipt of revenues and the payment of expenses.
Investing Activities
Net cash used by investing activities reflects the net impact of the acquisition and disposition of certain properties, investments in, and distributions from, our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and the ongoing impact of expenditures on tenant installations costs and capital expenditures. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, approximately $54.2 million of cash was used in our investing activities compared to approximately $203.0 million of cash generated in our investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2004, which are described below.
Tenant Installation Costs
Our office properties require periodic investments of capital for tenant installation costs related to new and renewal leasing. As noted above, relatively stagnant market conditions for the three months ended March 31, 2005 resulted in a modest decrease in vacancies over the same period in the prior year. The stagnant market conditions, combined with sublet space inventory in our major markets, has continued the downward pressure on rental rates and the upward pressure on tenant installation costs. For comparative purposes, the absolute total dollar amount of tenant installation costs in any given period is less relevant than the cost on a per square foot basis. This is because the total is impacted by the square footage both leased and occupied in any given period. Tenant installation costs consist of tenant allowances and leasing costs. Leasing costs include leasing commissions paid to third-party brokers representing tenants and costs associated with dedicated regional leasing teams who represent us and deal with tenant representatives. The following table reflects tenant installation costs for the total office portfolio we owned at March 31, 2005 and for the total office portfolio we owned at March 31, 2004, including our share of such costs incurred by unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, for both new and renewal office leases that commenced during the respective periods, regardless of when such costs were actually paid. The square feet leased data in the table represents our pro rata owned share of square feet leased.

Capital Expenditures
To maintain the quality of our properties and preserve competitiveness and long-term value, we pursue an ongoing program of capital expenditures, certain of which are not recoverable from tenants. For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, capital expenditures for the total office portfolio, including our share of such expenditures incurred by unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, was approximately $3.5 million and approximately $2.0 million, respectively. Recurring capital expenditures include, for example, the cost of roof replacement and the cost of replacing heating, ventilation, air conditioning and other building systems. In addition to recurring capital expenditures, expenditures are made in connection with non-recurring events such as asbestos abatement or removal costs, major mechanical attribute or system replacement, and redevelopment or reconstruction costs directly attributable to extending or preserving the useful life of the base building. Furthermore, as part of our office property acquisitions, we have routinely acquired and repositioned properties in their respective markets, many of which have required significant capital improvements due to deferred maintenance and the existence of shell space requiring initial tenant build-out at the time of acquisition. Some of these properties required substantial renovation to enable them to compete effectively. We take these capital improvement and new leasing tenant inducement costs into consideration when negotiating our purchase price at the time of acquisition.
Reconciliation to Combined Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

Dispositions
During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we sold one office property and two retail properties generating net proceeds of approximately $257.0 million, or approximately $18.6 million after debt repayment.
Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures
During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we made cash contributions to our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures in the aggregate amount of approximately $1.6 million, and received distributions from our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures in the aggregate amount of approximately $7.3 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we made contributions and advances to our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures in the aggregate amount of approximately $20.1 million, and received distributions from our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures in the aggregate amount of approximately $4.5 million. We have received net distributions in excess of our investments in 1114 TrizecHahn-Swig, L.L.C. and 1411 TrizecHahn-Swig, L.L.C. (the Swig Joint Ventures). At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, such excess net distributions totaled approximately $43.3
39
million and $43.2 million, respectively, and have been recorded in other accrued liabilities as we have committed to provide financial support to the Swig Joint Ventures in the future.
Financing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we used approximately $9.5 million in our financing activities due primarily to approximately $34.1 million of principal repayments on mortgage debt and paid approximately $32.4 million in dividends to our stockholders. These uses were offset by approximately $28.7 million released from an escrow established for repayment of the mortgage loan of 250 W. Pratt, located in Baltimore, Maryland and proceeds of approximately $28.3 million from the issuance of our common stock.
During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we used approximately $372.6 million in our financing activities, due primarily to approximately $260.5 million of principal repayments on mortgage debt and approximately $238.3 million of mortgage debt and other loans repaid upon property dispositions. Additionally, we incurred and paid approximately $3.8 million in settlement of forward rate contracts. We also paid approximately $31.6 million in dividends to our stockholders. These uses were partially offset by net proceeds from mortgage debt refinancings, net draws on our line of credit and proceeds from the issuance of our common stock.
Mortgage Debt, Other Loans and Unsecured Credit Facility
At March 31, 2005, our consolidated debt was approximately $2.2 billion. The weighted average interest rate on our debt was approximately 6.23% and the weighted average maturity was approximately 4.8 years.
The following table sets forth information concerning mortgage debt, other loans and unsecured credit facility as of March 31, 2005. The economic interest of our owning entity is 100% unless otherwise noted.

The variable rate debt shown above bears interest based primarily on various spreads over LIBOR. The leverage ratio is the ratio of mortgage and other debt to the sum of mortgage and other debt and the book value of stockholders equity.
Unsecured Credit Facility
Our unsecured credit facility consists of a $600.0 million revolving component and a $150.0 million term component, bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 1.15% to 2.0% based on our total leverage, and matures in June 2007 (the 2004 Unsecured Credit Facility). The financial covenants, as defined in the 2004 Unsecured Credit Facility, include the quarterly requirements for the total leverage ratio not to exceed 65.0% during year one, 62.5% during year two and 60.0% during year three; a requirement that the interest coverage ratio be greater than 2.0 times; a requirement that the fixed charge coverage ratio be greater than 1.5 times; and a requirement that the net worth be in excess of $1.5 billion. Our financial covenants also include a restriction on dividends or distributions of more than 90% of our funds from operations (defined in the 2004 Unsecured Credit Facility agreement). If we are in default in respect of our obligations under the 2004 Unsecured Credit Facility agreement, dividends will be limited to the amount necessary to maintain REIT status. At March 31, 2005, we were in compliance with these financial covenants.
At March 31, 2005, the amount eligible to be borrowed under the 2004 Unsecured Credit Facility was approximately $458.1 million, of which $150.0 million was drawn and outstanding. At December 31, 2004, the amount eligible to be borrowed under the 2004 Unsecured Credit Facility was approximately $484.9 million, of which $150.0 million was drawn and outstanding. Certain conditions of the 2004 Unsecured Credit Facility may restrict the amount eligible to be borrowed at any time.
Early Debt Retirement
In December 2004, in conjunction with the sale of 250 West Pratt Street, located in Baltimore, Maryland, we and the lender of the mortgage loan collateralized by such property agreed to modify certain terms of the mortgage loan. The lender of the mortgage loan agreed to release the property as collateral for the mortgage loan in consideration of the establishment of an escrow, for the benefit of the lender, in the amount of approximately $28.7 million. The escrow was comprised of funds to be used to repay the full outstanding principal balance of the
42
mortgage loan as well as interest payments through January 3, 2005. The escrow funds of approximately $28.7 million were included in restricted cash on our balance sheet at December 31, 2004. On January 3, 2005, the funds held in escrow were released to the lender. In conjunction with the repayment and retirement of the mortgage loan, we recorded a loss on early debt retirement of approximately $0.01 million, comprised primarily of the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs.
Hedging Activities
At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, we had outstanding interest rate swap contracts in the notional amount of $150.0 million, bearing a weighted average interest rate of 6.02% and maturing on March 15, 2008. We recorded an unrealized derivative gain of approximately $3.5 million and an unrealized derivative loss of approximately $2.7 million, related to interest rate swap contracts, through other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004, respectively. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the debt hedged by the interest rate swap contracts was classified as fixed in the above table. The aggregate cost to unwind these interest rate swap contracts was approximately $5.7 million and $9.2 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.
Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Venture Mortgage Debt
The consolidated mortgage and other debt information presented above does not reflect indebtedness secured by property owned in joint venture partnerships as they are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, our pro rata share of this debt amounted to approximately $419.9 million and approximately $420.2 million in the aggregate, respectively.

Dividends
On March 10, 2005, we declared a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share of common stock, payable on April 15, 2005, to the holders of record at the close of business on March 31, 2005. The aggregate amount of dividends paid on April 15, 2005 totaled approximately $31.0 million.

On March 10, 2005, we declared an aggregate annual dividend of approximately $0.005 million for the Class F convertible stock, payable on April 15, 2005, to the holders of record at the close of business on March 31, 2005. We accrued an additional $0.001 million dividend for the Class F convertible stock on March 31, 2005.
On March 10, 2005, we declared an aggregate quarterly dividend of approximately $1.2 million for the special voting stock, payable on April 15, 2005, to the holders of record at the close of business on March 31, 2005.
Market Risk Quantitative and Qualitative Information
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our future earnings, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. The primary market risk facing us is long-term indebtedness, which bears interest at fixed and variable rates. The fair value of our long-term debt obligations is affected by changes in market interest rates. We manage our market risk by matching long-term leases on our properties with long-term fixed rate non-recourse debt of similar durations. At March 31, 2005, approximately 95.0%, or approximately $2.1 billion, of our outstanding debt had fixed interest rates (including variable rate debt subject to interest rate caps and interest rate swap agreements), which minimizes the interest rate risk until the maturity of such outstanding debt.
We utilize certain derivative financial instruments at times to limit interest rate risk. Interest rate protection agreements are used to convert variable rate debt to a fixed rate basis or to hedge anticipated financing transactions. Derivatives are used for hedging purposes rather than speculation. We do not enter into financial instruments for trading purposes. We have entered into hedging arrangements with financial institutions we believe to be creditworthy counterparties. Our primary objective when undertaking hedging transactions and derivative positions is to reduce our floating rate exposure, which, in turn, reduces the risks that variable rate debt imposes on our cash flows. Our strategy partially protects us against future increases in interest rates. At March 31, 2005, we had hedge contracts totaling $150.0 million. Hedge contracts totaling $150.0 million convert variable rate debt at LIBOR plus various spreads to a fixed rate of 6.02% and mature on March 15, 2008. We may consider entering into additional hedging agreements with respect to all or a portion of our variable rate debt. We may borrow additional money with variable rates in the future. Increases in interest rates could increase interest expense in unhedged variable rate debt, which, in turn, could affect cash flows and our ability to service our debt. As a result of the hedging agreements, decreases in interest rates could increase interest expense as compared to the underlying variable rate debt and could result in us making payments to unwind such agreements.
At March 31, 2005, our total outstanding debt was approximately $2.2 billion, of which approximately $108.8 million was variable rate debt after the impact of the hedge agreement. At March 31, 2005, the average interest rate on variable rate debt was approximately 4.32%. Taking the hedging agreements into consideration, if market interest rates on our variable rate debt were to increase by 10% (or approximately 43 basis points), the increase in interest expense on the variable rate debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.5 million annually. If market rates of interest increase by 10%, the fair value of the total debt outstanding would decrease by approximately $44.4 million.
Taking the hedging agreements into consideration, if market rates of interest on the variable rate debt were to decrease by 10% (or approximately 43 basis points), the decrease in interest expense on the variable rate debt would increase future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.5 million annually. If market rates of interest decrease by 10%, the fair value of the total outstanding debt would increase by approximately $46.0 million.
These amounts were determined solely by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in an environment with significantly fluctuating interest rates. Further, in the event of significant change, management would likely take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. 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.
44
Gain Contingencies
Beginning in late 2001 and during 2002, we replaced a chiller at One New York Plaza, located in New York, New York, that was damaged in 2001. Total remediation and improvement costs were approximately $19.1 million. Through March 31, 2005, we have received approximately $12.1 million in insurance proceeds related to this incident. We have filed a claim for additional proceeds of approximately $7.0 million; however, we cannot provide assurance that we will be successful in collecting the additional proceeds. We will recognize the additional proceeds, if any, during the period in which we receive the insurance proceeds.
Subsequent Events
In April 2005, we sold Shoreline Square, located in Long Beach, California, which was designated as held for sale pursuant to SFAS No. 144 at March 31, 2005, for a gross sale price of approximately $87.4 million.
In April 2005, we acquired 1200 K Street, located in Washington, DC, for approximately $190.0 million.
Competition
The leasing of real estate is highly competitive. We compete for tenants with lessors, sublessors and developers of similar properties located in our respective markets primarily on the basis of location, rent charged, concessions offered, services provided, and the design and condition of our buildings. We also experience competition when attempting to acquire real estate, including competition from domestic and foreign financial institutions, other REITs, life insurance companies, pension trusts, trust funds, partnerships and individual investors. The competition is particularly strong in the current economic environment as office building owners attempt to attract new tenants, or retain existing tenants, with competitive rental rates and other financial incentives, such as tenant improvement allowances.
Environmental Matters
We believe, based on our internal reviews and other factors, that the future costs relating to environmental remediation and compliance will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. For a discussion of environmental matters, see Item 1. Business Environmental Matters and Item 1. Business Risk Factors Environmental problems at our properties are possible and may be costly in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Inflation
Substantially all of our leases provide for separate property tax and operating expense escalations over a base amount. In addition, many of our leases provide for fixed base rent increases or indexed increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be at least partially offset by these contractual rent increases.
Funds from Operations
Funds from operations is a non-GAAP financial measure. Funds from operations is defined by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, as net income, computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of properties and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis.
45
We believe that funds from operations is helpful to investors as one of several measures of the performance of an equity REIT. We further believe that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, funds from operations can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other equity REITs. Investors should review funds from operations, along with GAAP net income and cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, when trying to understand an equity REITs operating performance. As discussed above, we compute funds from operations in accordance with current standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to funds from operations reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. While funds from operations is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of equity REITs, it does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor does it represent cash available to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of our financial performance, or to cash flows from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.
The following table sets forth the reconciliation of funds from operations from net income available to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004:

On May 8, 2002, we commenced an offering of up to 8,700,000 shares of our common stock that holders of our warrants may acquire upon exercise thereof. The warrants were issued in connection with the corporate reorganization of TrizecHahn Corporation to (1) certain holders of then outstanding TrizecHahn Corporation stock options in replacement of such options and (2) TrizecHahn Office Properties Ltd., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Trizec Canada Inc., in an amount sufficient to allow TrizecHahn Office Properties Ltd. to purchase one share of our common stock for each Trizec Canada Inc. stock option granted in the corporate reorganization.
The shares of common stock to be sold in the offering were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (Registration No. 333-84878) that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 2, 2002. The Registration Statement was amended by a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-11 on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-84878), which was declared effective on October 21, 2003. The shares of common stock are being offered on a continuing basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We did not engage an underwriter for the offering and the aggregate price of the offering amount registered was $143,115,000.
During the period from May 8, 2002 to March 31, 2005, 1,875,237 shares of our common stock registered under the Registration Statement were acquired pursuant to the exercise of warrants. All of the shares of common stock were issued or sold by us and there were no selling stockholders in the offering.
During the period from May 8, 2002 to March 31, 2005, the aggregate net proceeds from the shares of common stock issued or sold by us pursuant to the offering were approximately $834,649. There have been no expenses incurred in connection with the offering to date. These proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.
None of the proceeds from the offering were paid, directly or indirectly, to any of our officers or directors or any of their associates, or to any persons owning ten percent or more of our outstanding common stock or to any of our affiliates.
