PART I
Item 1. Business
Our Company
      We invest primarily in single tenant properties under long-term leases to the U.S. government, state governments, local governments, and government-sponsored enterprises. We are a self-managed, self-administered company that has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the federal tax laws. Currently, all of our properties are leased to the U.S. government. We believe that we are the only public company focused solely on investing in government-leased properties.
      Our business consists of buying and managing recently built or renovated office properties primarily leased to the federal government, acting through the General Services Administration (“GSA”), the federal government’s property management arm, under long-term leases. Our portfolio consisted of twelve properties totaling approximately 627,293 rentable square feet as of December 31, 2004. These properties are 98% occupied and have a weighted-average remaining lease term of approximately 12 years based on the square footage of the properties as of December 31, 2004. Our tenants include:
  •  Drug Enforcement Administration
 
  •  Social Security Administration

Table of Contents

  •  Department of Justice
 
  •  Federal Bureau of Investigation
 
  •  Bureau of Public Debt
 
  •  Food & Drug Administration
 
  •  Veterans Administration Outpatient Clinic
 
  •  Hollings Judicial Center (Federal Courthouse)
 
  •  Citizenship & Immigration Services
      We own each of our properties through separate wholly-owned entities. We intend to expand our portfolio by acquiring additional government-leased properties.
      The credit worthiness of our governmental tenants enables us to use debt to finance, on average, approximately 75% of the acquisition cost of the properties that we buy. We intend to finance our future acquisitions with a combination of cash, common stock, long-term fixed-rate debt and short-term credit lines. We intend to use our credit lines to finance acquisitions and deposits on a short-term basis. Our objective is to finance each property with long-term fixed-rate debt whose maturity matches or exceeds, to the extent possible, the remaining term of the lease. This strategy minimizes interest rate risk and should result in more consistent and reliable cash flow.
Recent Developments
Initial Public Offering
      We completed a public offering of our common stock and listed our common stock on the NYSE in January 2004. In connection with this offering, we received net proceeds (after expenses) of approximately $177.0 million, reincorporated in Maryland and changed our name to Government Properties Trust, Inc. The historical financial statements included in this report are those of our predecessor company (Gen-Net Lease Income Trust, Inc.).
Sale of Harahan property
      In October 2004, we sold our Harahan property, which is leased to Federal Express Corporation, for $1.5 million in cash and the assumption of a mortgage note payable in the amount of $3.1 million. This was the only property that we owned that was not leased to the U.S. government. We do not intend to purchase any additional properties that are not primarily occupied by governmental tenants.

Our Strategy and Objectives
Operational Objectives
      Our primary operational objective is to generate funds from operations to make cash distributions to our stockholders. We focus on the following activities to achieve this objective:
  •  Acquiring properties that meet our acquisition criteria;
 
  •  Financing those properties at a lower cost of capital than the capitalization rate we used in connection with the acquisition of the property;
 
  •  Increasing our access to capital to finance property acquisitions;
 
  •  Effectively managing our properties through ongoing negotiation of modifications to lease terms for the mutual benefit of the tenant and the landlord, property oversight and property expansions where feasible; and
 
  •  Opportunistic property sales and redeployment of assets, when advisable.
      We intend to acquire properties leased to a variety of governmental entities on a nationwide basis. We expect most of our properties initially will be leased to the U.S. government under long-term leases. We will market both to owners and developers of government-leased properties and directly to governmental entities. We intend to expand our existing relationships with GSA-approved real estate developers, the GSA and various other governmental tenants, owners and developers around the country. We plan to continue to enter into pre-completion purchase agreements with developers to acquire newly developed properties upon completion and occupancy by governmental tenants. As a public company, we believe that developers and owners will view us as a more attractive and credible buyer than other potential non-public buyers.
      Our acquisition criteria include analyzing not only the in-place leases, but also analyzing the real estate characteristics of the property including location, parking, floor plans and construction quality. We focus on newer, well located properties that have remaining lease terms of ten years or more. We also consider, on a case-by-case basis, properties that have been constructed or significantly renovated within five years of our planned acquisition or that are more special use in nature due to specific government requirements or that have remaining lease terms of less than ten years. Special use or “build-to-suit” properties, however, generally must have remaining lease terms of fifteen years or more before we will consider them for acquisition. We believe our focus on newer properties reduces the risk of tenants failing to renew their leases at maturity and increases our ability to re-lease the property if the tenant does not renew. We intend to establish fully funded reserves, based on independent third-party reports, for future capital expenditures to ensure that we will have adequate funds to properly maintain our properties in the future.
Investment Objectives
      Our principal investment objective is to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns to our stockholders by:
  •  Paying regular dividends to our stockholders. We intend to distribute to our stockholders all or substantially all of our taxable REIT income each year to comply with the distribution requirements of the federal tax laws and to avoid federal income tax and the nondeductible excise tax. The actual amount and timing of distributions, however, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our actual results of operations and numerous other factors discussed in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this report. To the extent possible, we will seek to avoid the fluctuations in dividends that might result if dividends were based on actual cash received during the dividend period. To implement this policy, we may use cash received during prior periods, or cash received subsequent to the dividend period and prior to the payment date for such dividend to pay annualized dividends consistent with the dividend level established from time to time by our board of directors. Our ability to maintain this policy will depend upon our cash flow and applicable REIT rules. We cannot assure you that there will be cash available to pay dividends or that dividend amounts will not fluctuate. Subject to applicable

Table of Contents

  REIT rules, we will seek to reinvest proceeds from the sale, refinancing or other disposition of our properties by purchasing additional properties that are intended to produce additional distributable income.
 
  •  Increasing the value of our properties. With intensive asset and property management, we believe our properties will be well maintained and improved during the term of our ownership, which should allow for long term appreciation in the value of our properties. In addition, we plan to routinely monitor our portfolio and selectively dispose of properties in an opportunistic manner. There is, of course, no assurance that the value of our properties will increase.
 
  •  Preserving capital. We will attempt to preserve capital by continuing to invest in a diversified portfolio of quality real estate leased under long-term leases to governmental entities. We will also attempt to diversify our portfolio geographically and consider local factors such as taxing jurisdictions, risk of weather damage and local economy, among others, which may affect the underlying value of our acquired properties in the future.
      We cannot assure you that we will achieve any or all of the foregoing objectives because each, to a large extent, is dependent upon factors and conditions beyond our control. Our realization of distributable cash flow and appreciation in value from our properties will depend on a variety of factors, including short-term and long-term economic trends, federal tax laws, governmental regulations, local real estate and financial market conditions and property operating expenses.
Investment Policies
      Our primary investment policies are to:
  •  Purchase properties that are primarily leased to the U.S. government, state governments, local governments, and government-sponsored enterprises;
 
  •  Purchase newer, well-located properties that are not special use in nature and have remaining lease terms of ten years or more. We also consider, on a case-by-case basis, newer, well-located properties that are more special use in nature due to specific government requirements if the lease possesses a reasonable probability of renewal
 
  •  Purchase properties at prices that are at or below appraised values; and
 
  •  Use debt to finance, on average, approximately 75% of the acquisition cost of the properties that we buy.
      Our board of directors may change our existing investment objectives and policies without stockholder approval.
Acquisition Criteria
      In analyzing proposed acquisitions, we evaluate various factors including:
  •  The characteristics of the existing lease including the tenant and the intended use, term, type of lease (e.g., net, modified gross, gross), rental rates, base rent escalation if any, adjustment in rents for increases in operating expenses and taxes, and termination and assignment provisions, the essentiality of the function of the tenant, and the probability of lease renewal;
 
  •  The type, size, and design of improvements, their age and condition, the quality of the construction methods and materials, the price per square foot of leased space, and the suitability of the property for alternative uses;
 
  •  The nature of the general location (primary, secondary or tertiary markets), the viability of the sub-market including local demographics and the occupancy of and demand for similar properties in the sub-market area, specifically population and rental trends, and the functionality of the specific site;

5


Table of Contents

  •  The base rent, operating expenses, property tax, and state and local taxes, net operating income, price, the capitalization rate, prospective financing terms (amount, rate, term, amortization, loan-to-value ratio, debt service coverage ratio) and the prospective over-all rate of return, leveraged periodic return on equity and the all-in rate of return including the liquidation of the projected residual value;
 
  •  How the prospective acquisition will fit with the existing portfolio to assure sufficient diversity in material investment characteristics;
 
  •  Comparing the terms of the purchase and the existing lease to current market conditions and comparable transactions;
 
  •  The suitability of property for and ability to efficiently lease or sublease any vacant space;
 
  •  The ability of the property to achieve long-term capital appreciation;
 
  •  The prospects for long-range liquidity of the investment in the property;
 
  •  The rated security level of the property in the context of its use;
 
  •  The appraised value of the property, the property’s condition, special engineering reports to evaluate unique characteristics of a property, and phase I environmental reports; and
 
  •  Our ability to potentially improve the efficiency of the management of the property.
      In connection with our review of prospective acquisitions, we may engage third parties, such as environmental consultants, appraisers, engineers, accountants and lawyers, to help us perform our due diligence.
Sale-Leaseback Acquisitions
      We may acquire properties in sale-leaseback transactions. Sale-leaseback properties provide unique acquisition opportunities. Unlike acquisitions that rely heavily on the quality of the underlying real estate for property valuation and loan terms, sale-leaseback acquisitions focus on the quality of the tenant’s credit and on the completeness of the underlying lease obligations to provide an uninterrupted source of funds for loan repayment. Sale-leaseback acquisitions frequently permit an attractive loan-to-value ratio depending on the needs and desires of the seller. Loans for sale-leaseback acquisitions usually prohibit prepayment entirely or require the payment of make-whole premiums or the posting of collateral.
Assessing Prospects for Long-term Property Appreciation and Liquidity
      In reviewing a property for acquisition, we consider the property’s prospects for long-term appreciation and the prospects for long-range liquidity of the investment. In particular, we will seek to negotiate lease clauses providing for periodic inflation adjustments to the expense portion of base rent, and to minimize deferred maintenance by prompt attention to repair and replacement needs at the properties.
Property Operating Costs — Risk Mitigation Strategy
      Leases for governmental tenants vary widely and include net leases, gross leases and “modified” gross leases. Net leases require the tenant to pay all operating expenses, gross leases require the landlord to pay all operating expenses, and modified gross leases require the landlord and the tenant each to pay a portion of the operating expenses. We intend to acquire properties with all three types of leases, as well as variations of these leases, because we believe that gross leases and modified gross leases may provide higher returns for us than net leases. In our experience, GSA leases are generally modified gross leases. We plan to mitigate the higher risk of gross leases and modified gross leases through strict underwriting, due diligence, and intensive property management.

Financing Strategy
      We generally use fixed rate long-term mortgage financing to meet our 75% target leverage ratio. We choose a particular financing method based upon the most advantageous combination of attractive interest rates, leverage, assignability, repayment terms, and maturity dates available in the marketplace at the time, and customize our financing strategy for each type of transaction to maximize our return on investment. Our objective is to finance each property with long-term fixed-rate debt whose maturity matches or exceeds, to the extent possible, the remaining term of the lease.
      We consider a number of factors when evaluating our level of indebtedness and making financing decisions, including:
  •  the interest rate and maturity date of the proposed financing;
 
  •  the extent to which the financing impacts the flexibility with which we manage our properties;
 
  •  prepayment penalties and restrictions on refinancing;
 
  •  the purchase price of properties to be acquired with debt financing;
 
  •  our long-term objectives with respect to the property;
 
  •  our target investment return;
 
  •  the terms of any existing leases;
 
  •  assignability;
 
  •  the remaining loan balance at the end of the lease term compared to the prospective value of the asset at such time;
 
  •  the estimated market value of our properties upon refinancing of the indebtedness; and
 
  •  the ability of particular properties and our company as a whole, to generate cash flow to cover expected debt service.
      We also consider the impact of individual financings on our corporate financial structure. Among the factors we consider are:
  •  our overall level of consolidated indebtedness;
 
  •  provisions that require recourse and cross-collateralization;
 
  •  corporate credit ratios, including debt service coverage, and debt to total market capitalization; and
 
  •  our overall mix of fixed-and variable-rate debt.
      We may obtain financing from banks, institutional investors or other lenders financing through lines of credit, bridge loans and other arrangements, any of which may be unsecured or may be secured by mortgages or other interests in our properties. In addition, we may incur debt in the form of publicly or privately placed debt instruments. When possible, we will seek to replace short-term sources of capital with long-term financing in which we match or exceed, to the extent possible, the maturity of the debt to the lease term on the property securing the debt.
      Our indebtedness may be recourse or non-recourse. If the indebtedness is recourse, our general assets may be included in the collateral. If the indebtedness is non-recourse, the collateral will be limited to the particular property to which the indebtedness relates. To the extent possible, we will acquire properties using only non-recourse financing. In addition, we may invest in properties subject to existing loans secured by mortgages or similar liens on the properties, or may refinance properties acquired on a leveraged basis. We may use the proceeds from any borrowings to refinance existing indebtedness, to finance acquisitions, or the redevelopment of existing properties, for general working capital, or to purchase additional interests in partnerships or joint ventures. If necessary, we may also borrow funds to satisfy the requirement that we

7


Table of Contents

distribute to stockholders at least 90% of our annual taxable REIT income, or otherwise to ensure that we maintain our REIT status for federal income tax purposes.
      We may also enter into joint venture arrangements whereby we share the acquisition costs, expenses and returns from a property. We may also raise additional equity capital through additional public or private offerings of our securities.
Sale of Properties
      The determination of whether a particular property should be sold or otherwise disposed of will be made after consideration of the performance of the property, existing market conditions and also the benefits of continued ownership and alternative uses of the capital. In deciding whether to sell properties, we will consider factors such as potential capital appreciation, cash flow and federal income tax consequences. We may exchange properties for other properties.
      Net proceeds from the sale of any property may, at the discretion of our board of directors, be distributed to stockholders or reinvested in other properties. When reinvesting in other properties, tax-deferral will be a significant consideration. Any properties in which net proceeds from a sale are reinvested will be subject to the same acquisition criteria as other properties we acquire. See “Business — Acquisition Criteria.”
      In connection with the sale of a property, purchase money obligations secured by mortgages may be taken as partial payment. The terms of payment to us will be affected mainly by prevailing economic conditions. To the extent we receive notes and property other than cash on sales, such proceeds will not be included in net proceeds of sale until and to the extent the notes or other property are actually collected, sold, refinanced or otherwise liquidated. We may receive payments (cash and other property) in the year of sale in an amount less than the full sales price and subsequent payments may be spread over several years. Therefore, dividends to stockholders of the proceeds of a sale may be delayed until the notes or other property are collected at maturity, sold, refinanced, or otherwise converted to cash. The entire balance of the principal may be a balloon payment due at maturity. For federal income tax purposes, unless we elect otherwise, we will report the gain on such sale ratably as principal payments are received under the installment method of accounting.
Reserve for Operating Expenses and Capital Costs.
      We intend to establish fully-funded reserves, based on independent third-party reports, for future capital expenditures to properly maintain our properties.
Lending Policies.
      We may not make loans to our executive officers, key employees or directors except in accordance with our code of business conduct and ethics and applicable law.
      We may consider offering purchase money financing in connection with the sale of properties where the provisions of that financing will increase the value to be received by us for the property sold. We may make loans to joint ventures in which we may participate in the future. However, we do not intend to engage in significant lending activities.
Equity Capital Policies.
      Our board of directors has the authority, without further stockholder approval, to raise additional capital, in any manner and on the terms and for the consideration it deems appropriate, including in exchange for property. Existing stockholders have no preemptive right to additional shares issued in any offering, and any offering may cause a dilution of investment. We may in the future issue shares in connection with acquisitions.
Conflicts of Interest Policy.
      We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that prohibits conflicts of interest between our officers, employees and directors on the one hand, and our company on the other hand, except in compliance

8


Table of Contents

with the policy. Waivers of our code of business conduct and ethics must be disclosed in accordance with NYSE and SEC requirements. As of March 1, 2005, no waivers have been granted or sought.
Other Policies.
      We do not plan to invest in real estate mortgages except in connection with sale-leaseback acquisitions. We do not plan to invest in securities of persons primarily engaged in real estate activities except in connection with the acquisition of operating properties and the temporary investment of our cash. We do not plan to invest in secondary investments such as mortgage-backed securities, except in connection with the temporary investment of our cash. We do not plan to invest in other securities except in connection with the temporary investment of our cash and do not anticipate investing in other issuers of securities for the purpose of exercising control or acquiring any investments primarily for sale in ordinary course of business or holding any investments with a view to making short-term profits from the sale. We do not intend to engage in trading, underwriting, agency distribution or sales of securities of other issuers.
Real Estate Management
      We perform asset and property management, and accounting and finance services relating to our properties.
Asset and Property Management
      We focus on maximizing the value of our portfolio, monitoring property performance and related operating costs, managing our investment opportunities and pursuing the acquisition of additional properties and, when appropriate, the disposition of selected properties. Our asset management staff directly oversees our portfolio with its primary emphasis being to protect and enhance long-term asset value. Our property management functions include the coordination and oversight of tenant improvements and building services. We will only provide to tenants those services that are customarily provided to tenants of other similar properties.
Accounting and Finance
      We perform accounting and finance services that relate to the management of our real estate. Our accounting and finance personnel perform management of accounts payable, collection of receivables and budgeting of our operating expenses through consultation with our property management group.
Capital Improvements Costs
      We primarily acquire properties after they have been leased so we do not directly negotiate or pay for tenant improvements. However, if the space must be re-leased, we may fund improvement or restoration of a tenant’s leased space. Furthermore, our GSA leases hold us as the owner responsible for any repair or replacement of structural components of a building, the roof, any parking facility and the electrical, plumbing, and HVAC equipment in the building.
Insurance
      We carry comprehensive liability, casualty, flood and rental loss insurance covering all of the properties in our portfolio. We believe that the policy specifications and insured limits are appropriate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice. We have also obtained terrorism insurance, as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, on all of our properties, which is subject to exclusions for loss or damage caused by nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. It is our policy to obtain similar terrorism insurance on properties that we acquire in the future to the extent it is available. In addition, in certain areas, we pay additional premiums to obtain flood, wind, or earthquake insurance. We do not carry insurance for commonly uninsured losses such as loss from riots.

Real Estate Industry Regulation
Environmental
      Under various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, a current or previous owner, operator or tenant of real estate may be required to investigate and remove hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product releases or threats of releases at such property, and may be held liable for property damage and for investigation, clean-up and monitoring costs incurred in connection with the actual or threatened contamination. Such laws typically impose clean-up responsibility and liability without regard to fault, or whether the owner, or tenant knew of or caused the presence of the contamination. The liability under such laws may be joint and several for the full amount of the investigation, clean-up and monitoring costs incurred or to be incurred or actions to be undertaken, although a party held jointly and severally liable may obtain contributions from the other identified, solvent, responsible parties of their fair share toward these costs. These costs may be substantial, and can exceed the value of the property. The presence of contamination, or the failure to properly remediate contamination, on a property may adversely affect the ability of the owner, operator or tenant to sell or rent that property or to borrow using such property as collateral, and may adversely impact our investment on that property.
      Federal regulations require building owners and those exercising control over a building’s management to identify and warn, via signs and labels, of potential hazards posed by workplace exposure to installed asbestos-containing materials and potentially asbestos-containing materials in their building. The regulations also set forth employee training, record-keeping and due diligence requirements pertaining to asbestos-containing materials and potentially asbestos-containing materials. Significant fines can be assessed for violation of these regulations. Building owners and those exercising control over a building’s management may be subject to the increased regulations. Building owners and those exercising control over a building’s management may be subject to an increased risk of personal injury lawsuits by workers and others exposed to asbestos-containing materials and potentially asbestos-containing materials as a result of these regulations. The regulations may affect the value of a building containing asbestos-containing materials and potentially asbestos-containing materials in which we have invested. Federal, state and local laws and regulations also govern the removal, encapsulation, disturbance, handling and/or disposal of asbestos-containing materials and potentially asbestos-containing materials when such materials are in poor condition or in the event of construction, remodeling, renovation or demolition of a building. Such laws may impose liability for improper handling or a release to the environment of asbestos-containing materials and potentially asbestos-containing materials and may provide for fines to, and for third parties to seek recovery from, owners or operators of real properties for personal injury or improper work exposure associated with asbestos-containing materials and potentially asbestos-containing materials.
      Prior to closing any property acquisition, we obtain environmental assessments in a manner we believe prudent to attempt to identify potential environment concerns at such properties. These assessments are carried out in accordance with an appropriate level of due diligence and generally include a physical site inspection, a review of relevant federal, state and local environmental and health agency database records, one or more interviews with appropriate site-related personnel, review of the property’s chain of title and review of historic aerial photographs and other information on past uses of the property. We may also conduct limited subsurface investigations and test for substances of concern where the results of the first phase of the environmental assessments or other information indicates possible contamination or where our consultants recommend such procedures. We also believe that acquiring newer properties, that have been subject to these environmental regulations, helps mitigate our exposure to environmental risks.
      While we may purchase our properties on an “as is” basis, all of our purchase contracts contain an environmental contingency clause, which permits us to reject a property because of any environmental hazard at such property. We receive Phase I reports on all prospective properties.
      We believe that our portfolio complies in all material respects with all federal and state regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances and other environmental matters.

Americans with Disabilities Act
      Our properties must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”), to the extent that such properties are “public accommodations” as defined by the ADA. The ADA may require removal of structural barriers to access by persons with disabilities in public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. We believe that our existing properties are in substantial compliance with the ADA and that we will not be required to make substantial capital expenditures to address the requirements of the ADA. However, noncompliance with the ADA could result in imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. The obligation to make readily achievable accommodations is an ongoing one, and we will continue to assess our properties and to make alterations as appropriate in this respect.
Fire, Safety and Other Regulation
      We must operate our properties in compliance with fire and safety regulations, building codes and other land use regulations, as they may be adopted by governmental agencies and bodies and become applicable to our properties. We may be required to make substantial capital expenditures to comply with those requirements.
Competition
      We compete in acquiring properties with financial institutions, institutional pension funds, real estate developers, other REITs, other public and private real estate companies and private real estate investors.
      Among the positive factors relating to our ability to compete in acquiring properties are:
  •  we have experience in buying GSA-leased properties;
 
  •  we are a well funded public company with the ability to obtain financing;
 
  •  our management is knowledgeable in real estate matters;
 
  •  we have a positive reputation in the real estate industry; and
 
  •  we have a history of closing property acquisitions that we contract to purchase.
      Among the negative factors relating to our ability to compete are the following:
  •  we may have less knowledge than our competitors of certain markets in which we seek to purchase properties;
 
  •  we have strict underwriting standards;
 
  •  many of our competitors have greater financial and operational resources than we have;
 
  •  our competitors or other entities may determine to pursue a strategy similar to ours; and
 
  •  Some competitors may be willing to accept a lower return on their investment than we will accept.
      We also face competition in leasing available properties to prospective tenants. The actual competition for tenants varies depending on the characteristics of each local market.
Employees
      We employed 14 employees as of March 1, 2005. None of our employees is represented by a labor union. We consider our employee relations to be good.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
      Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE) under the symbol “GPP”. Our stock began trading on the NYSE on January 27, 2004. Mr. Peschio, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, certified, with qualification, to the NYSE that to the best of his knowledge, the Company is in full compliance with the NYSE’s Corporate Governance listing standards. The above qualification, at the time of the certification, was that the Company had not completed outsourcing its internal audit function. The Company is in the process of engaging an internal audit firm, and shall have adopted an internal audit charter and internal audit plan by the end of the first quarter 2005. The company has periodically advised the Exchange staff of its progress and timetable in implementing the foregoing activities.
      On March 8, 2005, the reported closing sale price on the NYSE was $10.22, and there were approximately 20.7 million common shares outstanding held by approximately 78 holders of record. The following table sets forth the high and low closing sales prices per common share reported on the NYSE and distributions we paid for the year ended December 31, 2004.

      We intend to distribute to our stockholders all or substantially all of our taxable REIT income each year to comply with the distribution requirements of the federal tax laws and to avoid federal income tax and the nondeductible excise tax. To maintain our status as a REIT, we must distribute to our stockholders an amount at least equal to (i) 90% of our taxable REIT income (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain) plus (ii) 90% of the excess of our net income from foreclosure property over the tax imposed on such income less (iii) any excess non-cash income (as determined under the federal tax laws). To the extent not inconsistent with maintaining REIT status, we may retain accumulated earnings of any taxable REIT subsidiaries in those subsidiaries.
      Dividends must be authorized by our board of directors and will be based upon a number of factors, including restrictions under applicable law. In addition, our board of directors will be prohibited from authorizing a dividend if, after giving effect to the dividend, we would not be able to pay our indebtedness as it becomes due in the usual course of business or our total assets would be less than our total liabilities.
      Our board of directors has the power to issue preferred stock or other securities that have distribution rights senior to that of the common stock. Any superior dividend rights could prevent us from paying dividends to the holders of our common stock.
      We declared our initial dividend of $0.075 per share of common stock, which we paid on January 31, 2003. We paid subsequent dividends of $0.15 per share on April 15, 2003 and July 15, 2003. The foregoing dividends were paid to our stockholders on a pro-rata basis based upon the date on which the shares of our common stock were obtained by such stockholders.
      We paid dividends of $0.15 per share on October 15, 2003, January 15, 2004, April 15, 2004, July 15, 2004, October 15, 2004 and January 15, 2005. In accordance with our revised policy, these dividends were not paid on a pro rata basis. In the future, dividends will not be paid on a pro rata basis. There is, of course, no assurance that we will be able to maintain our dividend at this level, or at all.

      We completed a registered public offering on January 26, 2004. The SEC declared the registration statement for this offering (Form S-11, file nos. 333-109565 and 333-112219) effective on January 26, 2004. We registered 19,320,000 shares of common stock, including 2,520,000 shares subject to the underwriters’ over-allotment option, with an aggregate public offering price of $193.2 million. The offering terminated upon its completion. We registered for the public offering through an underwriting syndicate managed by Friedman, Billings, Ramsey & Co., Inc., BB&T Capital Markets, a Division of Scott & Stringfellow, Inc., and Flagstone Securities, LLC. Our expenses for the offering included approximately $13.5 million for underwriting discounts and commissions, $0.7 million for reimbursement of underwriter expenses, $2.0 million for other expenses, for a total of $16.2 million. All of these expenses were paid directly to the recipients and none were paid to any of our officers, directors, ten percent or greater stockholders, or affiliates.
      After payment of the foregoing expenses, we received approximately $177.0 million in net proceeds from the offering. As of March 8, 2005, we had used the proceeds as follows:
  •  approximately $5.0 million to repay outstanding indebtedness;
 
  •  approximately $50.2 million, net of related mortgages, to complete acquisitions;
 
  •  approximately $12.4 million for dividend payments.
      The remainder of the net proceeds are temporarily invested in money market investments and will ultimately be used for acquisitions, dividends and working capital.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
      The following discussion should be read in conjunction with “Selected Financial Data” and our audited financial statements and the related notes thereto.
Overview
      We invest primarily in single tenant properties under long-term leases to the U.S. government, state governments, local governments, and government-sponsored enterprises. We are a self-managed, self-administered company that has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the federal tax laws. We believe that we are the only public company focused solely on investing in government-leased properties. We own each of our properties through separate wholly-owned entities.
      Our business consists of buying and managing recently built or renovated office properties primarily leased to the federal government, acting through the General Services Administration (“GSA”), the federal government’s property management arm, under long-term leases. Our portfolio consisted of twelve properties totaling 627,293 rentable square feet as of December 31, 2004. These properties are 98% occupied and have a

22


Table of Contents

weighted-average remaining lease term of approximately 12 years based on the square footage of the properties as of December 31, 2004. Our tenants include:
  •  Drug Enforcement Administration
 
  •  Social Security Administration
 
  •  Department of Justice
 
  •  Federal Bureau of Investigation
 
  •  Bureau of Public Debt
 
  •  Food & Drug Administration
 
  •  Veterans Administration Outpatient Clinic
 
  •  Hollings Judicial Center (Federal Courthouse)
 
  •  Citizenship & Immigration Services
      We own each of our properties through separate wholly-owned entities. We intend to expand our portfolio by acquiring additional government-leased properties.
      Based on the credit worthiness of our governmental tenants, our policy is to use debt to finance, on average, approximately 75% of the acquisition cost of the properties that we buy. We intend to finance our future acquisitions with a combination of cash, common stock, long-term fixed-rate debt and short-term credit lines. We intend to use our credit lines to finance acquisitions and deposits on a short-term basis. Our objective is to finance each property with long-term fixed-rate debt whose maturity matches or exceeds, to the extent possible, the remaining term of the lease. This strategy minimizes interest rate risk and should result in more consistent and reliable cash flow.
      Leases for governmental tenants vary widely and include net leases, gross leases and “modified” gross leases. Net leases require the tenant to pay all operating expenses, gross leases require the landlord to pay all operating expenses, and modified gross leases require the landlord and the tenant each to pay a portion of the operating expenses. We intend to acquire properties with all three types of leases, as well as variations of these leases, because we believe that gross leases and modified gross leases may provide higher returns for us than net leases. In our experience, GSA leases are generally modified gross leases. We plan to mitigate the higher risk of gross leases and modified gross leases through strict underwriting, due diligence and intensive property management.
Critical Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
      We recognize rental revenue on the straight-line method over the terms of the related lease agreements for new leases and the remaining terms of existing leases for acquired properties. Differences between rental revenue earned and amounts due per the respective lease agreements are credited or charged, as applicable, to deferred rent receivable. Rental payments received prior to their recognition as income are classified as rent received in advance. Our leases are generally only subject to annual inflation increases over the term of the lease for a portion of the rent due. Our leases generally contain provisions under which the tenants reimburse us for real estate taxes incurred by us over a specified base amount. Such amounts are recognized as tenant reimbursement revenue in the period in which the real estate tax expenses over the specified base amount are incurred.
      We make estimates related to the collectibility of our accounts receivable related to rent, expense reimbursements and other revenue. We specifically analyze accounts receivable and historical bad debts, tenant concentrations, tenant credit worthiness, geographic concentrations and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. These estimates have a direct impact on our net income because a higher bad debt allowance would result in lower net income.

Table of Contents

Real Estate
      We record real estate at depreciated cost. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as incurred. Significant renovations and improvements that improve or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful life.
      All development projects and related carrying costs are capitalized and reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as “Real estate under development.” As each project is completed and becomes available for lease-up, the total cost of the building is depreciated over the estimated useful life. Interest and personnel support cost directly related to the development are capitalized as part of the real estate under development to the extent that such charges do not cause the carrying value of the asset to exceed its net realizable value.
      Depreciation is computed 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, tenant origination costs and intangible lease costs.
      We must estimate 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.
      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. Our review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) expected to result from the real estate investment’s use and eventual disposition. Our cash flow estimate considers factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If an impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. These estimates have a direct impact on our net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income.
Purchase Price Allocation
      We allocate the purchase price of properties we acquire to net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired based on their fair values in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 “Business Combinations.” In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, we utilize a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other market data. We also consider information obtained about each property as a result of our due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired.
      We allocate a portion of the purchase price to above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired 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) our estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. In the case of below market leases, we consider the remaining contractual lease period and renewal periods, taking into consideration the likelihood of the tenant exercising its renewal options. The capitalized above-market lease values (which would be presented as lease intangibles in consolidated balance sheet) would be amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases, which currently range from seven to 19 years. The capitalized below-market lease values (which would be presented as deferred income) would be amortized as an addition to rental income over the remaining contractual lease period and any renewal periods included in the valuation analysis. We currently have no above-market or below-market leases. We also assume that our at market rate tenants would not exercises any early terminations clauses in determining the value allocated to their lease or

24


Table of Contents

the amortization of the related lease costs. If a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of the lease intangibles would be charged to expense.
      We allocate a portion of the purchase to the value of leases acquired based on the difference between (i) the property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and (ii) the property valued as if vacant. We utilize independent appraisals or our estimates to determine the respective in-place lease values. Our estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors we consider in our analysis include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods. We also estimate costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.
      We also consider an allocation of purchase price to in-place leases that have a related customer relationship intangible value. Characteristics we consider in allocating these values include the nature and extent of 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, among other factors. We currently have the U.S. government as our major tenant, but have not yet developed a relationship that we would consider to have any current intangible value.
      The value of in-place leases (presented as tenant origination costs in consolidated balance sheet) is amortized to expense over the remaining initial term of the respective leases. The value of customer relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the remaining initial term, including any renewal periods included in the valuation analysis for the respective leases considered in our valuation analysis, 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 tenant origination costs and customer relationship intangibles would be charged to expense.
      Amounts allocated to tangible land, building, tenant improvements, equipment and fixtures are based on independent appraisals or our own analysis of comparable properties in the existing portfolio.

The increase was due to the expansion of our operations to become self-managed and to increase our acquisition staff and related activity. The increased amounts were for additional salaries, compensation, directors’ and officers’ insurance, office rent, professional fees, and public company related expenses.
      Interest income Interest income was $1,719,925 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $21,635 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase was primarily due to interest income earned on short-term investments from our January 2004 Offering proceeds.
      Interest expense Interest expense was $2,481,219 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $1,188,050 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase was due to additional payment on debt incurred by us in 2004 for property acquisition and for working capital purposes prior to our January 2004 Offering.
      Expense from issuance and exercise of warrant In January 2004, we recognized $2,097,900 of expense related to the exercise of a warrant to purchase 210,000 shares of our common stock. The warrant was issued to an affiliate of one of our underwriters which provided a line of credit to us.
      Amortization of deferred financing fees Amortization of deferred financing fees was $271,595 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $9,230 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase was primarily due to the amortization of financing fees of approximately $214,000 recognized related to the $50 million revolving credit facility obtained in April 2004. The remaining increase is due to the amortization of financing fees incurred by us in 2004 in connection with additional debt we obtained.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
      Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to acquire properties and to pay for operating expenses, dividends, and other expenditures directly associated with our properties, such as:
  •  acquisition costs, deposits on properties and purchases of properties;
 
  •  recurring maintenance, repairs and other operating expenses necessary to maintain our properties;
 
  •  property taxes, state and local tax assessments, and insurance expenses;
 
  •  interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness;
 
  •  capital expenditures incurred to facilitate the leasing of space at our properties, including tenant improvements and leasing commissions;
 
  •  general and administrative expenses; and
 
  •  future distributions paid to our stockholders.
      Historically, we have satisfied our short-term liquidity requirements through our existing working capital and cash provided by our operations and borrowings.

      The mortgages on our properties and our existing lines of credit contain customary restrictive covenants, including provisions that may limit the borrowing subsidiary’s ability, without the prior consent of the lender, to incur additional indebtedness, further mortgage or transfer the applicable property, purchase or acquire additional property, discontinue insurance coverage, change the conduct of its business or make loans or advances to, enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation with, or acquire the business, assets or equity of, any third party.
      In April 2004, we entered into a $50 million revolving credit facility led by First National Bank of Omaha. Outstanding amounts under this facility accrue interest at the floating prime rate, as published by the Wall Street Journal, which will not be lower than 4%. We paid a commitment fee equal to 0.50% of the total commitment and will pay an advance fee of 0.50% of each advance. All amounts provided pursuant to this facility will be due in May 2005. The facility contains customary restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability to purchase properties under development or through unconsolidated affiliates. We are also required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of not less than $90 million, a total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio of no more than 4.0 to 1, and a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.2 to 1. We are not allowed to make distributions that exceed the greater of (i) such amount as is required to be distributed as a condition our continued status as a REIT, or (ii) $0.25 per common share per quarter. The proceeds of this facility will be used for short-term acquisition financing for the purchase of federal government-leased properties that have a minimum remaining lease term of 10 years. This facility may also be used to provide deposits for purchase contracts or good faith deposits. No amounts were outstanding under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2004.
      The table below sets forth the debt that we fully repaid from the proceeds of our January 2004 public offering:

Total
      $ 4.7  
           
      We owed approximately $2.3 million to Citizens First Bancorp, Inc. under a $5 million line of credit. We incurred the debt in April 2003 and it accrued interest on an annual basis at prime plus 50 basis points (4.50% at December 31, 2003).
      An affiliate of one of our underwriters, Friedman, Billings and Ramsey, provided us with a $1 million line of credit, of which we borrowed approximately $0.7 million during 2003 and an additional $0.3 million in January 2004. The total principal on the debt was $1.0 million at the time it was paid. The debt accrued interest on an annual basis at a rate of 20%.
      We financed the acquisition of our Bakersfield property in part through an approximately $1.6 million loan from Genesis Financial Group, Inc. We incurred this debt in January 2003 and it accrued interest on an annual basis at a rate of LIBOR plus 250 basis points (3.62% at December 31, 2003).
      We owed approximately $0.1 million under a $0.2 million line of credit with Citizens First Savings Bank. We incurred the debt in June 2003 and it accrued interest at prime (4.00% at December 31, 2003).
      Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for property acquisitions, scheduled debt maturities, renovations, expansions and other non-recurring capital expenditures that need to be made periodically to our properties, the costs associated with acquisitions of properties that we pursue and dividend payments to stockholders. Historically, we have satisfied our long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, including our existing working capital, cash provided by operations, sales of

30


Table of Contents

equity securities, and long-term mortgage indebtedness. We intend to establish sinking fund reserves, based on independent third-party reports, for future capital expenditures.
      Since we became self-managed in January 2004, we have increased cash expenditures for general and administrative expenses, including salaries, directors’ and officers’ insurance, rent, professional fees, public company expense, and other corporate level activity. We estimate that our annualized general and administrative cash expenses for the year ending December 31, 2005 to be in the range of $3.9 million to $4.3 million. The increase in 2005 general and administrative cash expenses as compared to the amount incurred in 2004 is in part due to the expected increase in professional fees to be incurred to be in compliance with Sarbanes Oxley Section 404. The remaining expected increase in 2005 as compared to 2004 is due a full year’s effect of being fully staffed in 2005 as compared to only a portion of 2004. General and administrative cash expenses exclude compensation expense from the issuance of stock grants which amounted to $864,673 in 2004.
      We believe that our existing cash will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.
Contractual Obligations
      The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2004:

      We intend to refinance our mortgage notes payable as they become due or repay them if the related property is being sold. Total interest paid on the mortgage notes payable were $2,432,908 and $966,420 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. See note 5 in the Financial Statements for more information about the mortgages.
Cash Distribution Policy
      We have elected to be treated as a REIT under the federal tax laws commencing as of our taxable year beginning January 1, 2003. To qualify as a REIT, we must, among other things, distribute at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income to our stockholders. We intend to comply with these requirements and maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate federal income taxes on taxable income we distribute (in accordance with the federal tax laws and applicable regulations) to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent tax years. Even as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income, i.e., taxable income not distributed in the amounts and in the time frames prescribed by the federal tax laws and applicable regulations thereunder.
      We intend to pay to our stockholders, within the time periods prescribed by the federal tax laws (in our case by January 31 of the following year), all or substantially all of our annual taxable income, including gains from the sale of real estate and recognized gains on sale of securities. We will continue our policy of making sufficient cash distributions to stockholders for us maintain REIT status under the federal tax laws and to avoid corporate income and excise tax on undistributed income.
Inflation
      Our GSA leases generally contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. These provisions increase rental rates during the terms of the leases by indexed escalations based on the Consumer Price Index. In addition, our GSA leases generally require the tenant to pay a share of increases in operating expenses and all increases in real estate taxes. This may reduce our exposure to increases in costs and

31


Table of Contents

operating expenses resulting from inflation. However, increases in property operating costs above the escalation amount would harm our cash flow and may harm our ability to pay dividends.
Funds from Operations
      REIT analysts generally consider funds from operations or FFO an alternative measure of performance for an equity REIT. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines funds from operations as net income, computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), excluding gains or losses from sales of properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We believe that FFO 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, which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO can facilitate comparison of operating performance between periods and between other equity REITs. Investors should review FFO along with GAAP Net Income Available for Common Shares and cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, when evaluating an equity REIT’s operating performance. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO 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 us. FFO 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 flow 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 presents a reconciliation of GAAP to our funds from operations for the periods presented:

Risk Factors
Risks Related to Our Business and Properties
Our management joined us in 2003 and did not have prior experience operating a REIT or a public company.
      Our president and chief executive officer joined us in September 2003, our chief financial officer joined us in September 2003, our director of asset acquisition joined us in December 2003, our director of asset management joined us in December 2003, and the remainder of our management joined us in 2004. Our management did not have any prior experience operating a REIT or a publicly-owned company. Given our

32


Table of Contents

management’s limited experience with our Company, you should be cautious in drawing conclusions about our ability to execute our business plan and to operate as a public company.
The pace of our property acquisitions to date has resulted in cash flow that is insufficient to cover dividends at their current level.
      We acquired one property for an amount of $5.1 million in the first quarter of 2004, two properties for an aggregate amount of $39.2 million in the second quarter of 2004, two properties for an aggregate amount of $25.2 in the third quarter of 2004, and three properties for an aggregate amount of $53.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. Net income from the properties we own has been significantly less than the dividends we have paid to date. To continue to pay dividends at their current level the Company will be required to use some of the equity capital we raised in its January 2004 Offering for at least the remainder of 2005.
The closings of our property acquisitions are subject to conditions that may prevent us from acquiring such properties.
      Our ability to complete acquisitions depends upon many factors, such as the negotiation of definitive purchase agreements, the satisfactory results from the due diligence work, completion of construction, and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. We have abandoned several prospective purchases due to the failure of one or more of these circumstances. The inability to complete future acquisitions within our anticipated time frames may harm our financial results and undercut our ability to pay dividends at their current level.
Our use of debt financing could decrease our cash flow and expose us to risk of default under our debt documents.
      Our policy is to use debt to finance, on average, approximately 75% of the acquisition cost of the properties that we buy. As of December 31, 2004, we had approximately $77.6 million of outstanding indebtedness representing 49% of the acquisition cost of properties, we owned as of that date.
      Since we anticipate that our cash flow from operations will be insufficient to repay all of our indebtedness prior to maturity, we expect that we will have to repay debt through refinancing, sale of properties or sale of additional equity. If we are unable to refinance our indebtedness on acceptable terms, or at all, we might be forced to dispose of one or more of our properties on unfavorable terms, which might result in losses to us and which might adversely affect our cash available for distribution to our stockholders. If prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of a refinancing result in higher interest rates on such refinancing, our interest expense would increase, which could seriously harm our operating results and financial condition and our ability to pay dividends.
      Our debt and any increase in our debt may be detrimental to our business and financial results by:
  •  requiring us to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to pay interest, which reduces the amount available for the operation of our properties or the payment of dividends;
 
  •  imposing restrictive covenants in our loan documents, which would entitle the lenders to accelerate our debt obligations and foreclose on our properties, if materially violated;
 
  •  placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors who may have less debt;
 
  •  making us more vulnerable to economic and industry downturns and reducing our flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions;
 
  •  requiring us to sell one or more properties, possibly on unfavorable terms; and
 
  •  limiting our ability in the future to borrow funds for operations and to finance property acquisitions and to refinance our indebtedness at maturity on acceptable terms.

Our ability to obtain debt financing could be impaired or delayed due to underwriting restrictions applicable to the type of properties we acquire.
      Our policy is to obtain debt financing related to properties we buy. Because of the single tenant nature of the properties we acquire, mortgage underwriters take certain additional precautions intended to assure that the remaining mortgage balance is paid at the end of the loan term. Also, for mortgages which have an amortization schedule longer than the lease term, due to the high initial per square foot cost of the property being acquired, mortgage lenders consider the high per square foot remaining principal balance at the end of the mortgage term as a negative with regard to the potential approval of the loan. These and other similar negative factors associated with our properties may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to finance or refinance our properties compared to other types of commercial real estate.
Because our principal tenant is the U.S. government, our properties may have a higher risk of terrorist attack than similar properties leased to non-governmental tenants.
      Because our principal tenant is the U.S. government, our properties may have a higher risk of terrorist attack than similar properties that are leased to non-governmental tenants. Some of our properties could be considered “high profile” targets because of the particular government tenant (e.g., the FBI). Certain losses resulting from terrorist attacks may be uninsurable. Additional terrorism insurance may not be available at a reasonable price or at all.
We depend on the U.S. government for most of our revenues. any failure by the U.S. government to perform its obligations or renew its leases upon expiration may harm our cash flow and ability to pay dividends.
      Rent from the U.S. government represented 100% of our revenues from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2004. In addition, the U.S. government leased 100% of our total leased square feet of property not held for sale as of December 31, 2004. Any default by the U.S. government, or its failure to renew its leases with us upon their expiration, could cause interruptions in the receipt of lease revenue or result in vacancies, or both, which would reduce our revenue until the affected property is leased, and could decrease the ultimate value of the affected property upon sale. Further, failure on the part of a tenant to comply with the terms of a lease may cause us to find another tenant. We cannot assure you that we would be able to find another tenant without incurring substantial costs, or at all, or that, if another tenant were found, we would be able to enter into a new lease on favorable terms.
An increase in the operating costs of our government-leased properties would harm our cash flow and ability to pay dividends.
      Leased properties in which the tenant is wholly responsible for any increases in operating costs that apply to the property are not typical of the leases entered into through the GSA, the principal leasing agency of the federal government. Under present practice, most GSA leases only cover increases in real estate taxes above a base amount and these GSA leases also increase that portion of the rent applicable to other operating expenses by an agreed upon percentage based upon the Consumer Price Index. Typically, operating expenses in these leases does not include insurance cost. To the extent operating costs other than real estate taxes and insurance increase at a rate greater than the specified percentage, our cash flow would be harmed and our ability to pay dividends may be harmed.
If we are unable to lease properties that are partially or completely vacant, we may be required to recognize an impairment loss with respect to the carrying values of these properties, which may seriously harm our operating results and financial condition.
      Any of our properties could become partially or completely vacant in the future. If we are unable to re-lease these properties and generate sufficient cash flow to replace or exceed that amount lost due to the vacancy, we will be required to recognize financial loss as to that property, which could harm our operating results and our ability to pay dividends.

Table of Contents

Restrictive covenants in our loan documents may restrict our operating or acquisition activities, which may harm our financial condition and operating results.
      The mortgages on our properties contain customary restrictive covenants, including provisions that may limit the borrowing subsidiary’s ability, without the prior consent of the lender, to incur additional indebtedness, further mortgage or transfer the applicable property, purchase or acquire additional property, discontinue insurance coverage, change the conduct of its business or make loans or advances to, enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation with, or acquire the business, assets or equity of, any third party. In addition, our future lines of credit or loans may contain financial covenants, further restrictive covenants and other obligations. If we materially breach such covenants or obligations in our debt agreements, the lender can legally declare a default and may require us to repay the debt immediately and, can foreclose on property securing the loan. We may then have to sell properties either at a loss or at a time that prevents us from achieving a higher price. Any failure to pay our indebtedness when due or failure to cure events of default could result in higher interest rates during the period of the loan default and could ultimately result in the loss of properties through foreclosure.
Increasing competition for the acquisition of government-leased properties may impede our ability to make future acquisitions or may increase the cost of these acquisitions.
      We compete with many other entities for the acquisition of government-leased properties. Our competitors include financial institutions, institutional pension funds, other REITs, other public and private real estate companies and private real estate investors. These competitors may prevent us from acquiring desirable properties or increase the price we must pay for properties. Our competitors may have greater resources than we do and may be willing to pay more for similar property. In addition, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for government-leased properties may increase in the future, resulting in increased demand and increased prices paid for these properties. If we are forced to pay higher prices for properties, our profitability may decrease, and our stockholders may experience a lower return on their investment.
We may have limited time to perform due diligence on many potential property acquisitions, which could result in the loss of acquisition opportunities.
      When we enter into an agreement to acquire a property we often have limited time to complete our due diligence prior to acquiring the property. Pursuant to Company policy if we cannot complete our full due diligence review process within the time allotted, we will decline to proceed with an attempt to acquire the property. Accordingly, we may lose property acquisitions due to lack of sufficient time to complete our due diligence.
Our cash flow is not assured. we may not pay dividends in the future.
      Our ability to pay dividends may be adversely affected by the risks described herein. We cannot assure you that we will be able to pay dividends in the future.
      We also cannot assure you that the level of our dividends will increase over time or the receipt of income from additional property acquisitions will necessarily increase our cash available for distribution to stockholders. The failure to make expected cash dividend distributions will likely result in a decrease in the market price of our stock.
Our board of directors may alter our investment policies at any time without stockholder approval.
      Our board of directors may alter our investment policies at any time without stockholder approval. Changes to these policies may adversely affect our financial performance and our ability to maintain or pay dividends.

We have incurred historical losses and may incur future losses.
      We have had historical accounting losses of $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, and had an accumulated deficit of $16.1 million, of which $12.9 million was for dividends, as of December 31, 2004. We cannot assure you that we will not have similar losses in the future.
Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure
We depend on key personnel with long-standing business relationships, the loss of whom could threaten our ability to operate our business successfully.
      Our future success depends, to a significant extent, upon the continued services of Thomas D. Peschio, our president and chief executive officer, and of the other members of our management team. In particular, the relationships that Mr. Peschio and the other members of our management team have developed with owners and developers of government-leased properties are critically important to the success of our business. Although we have an employment agreement with Mr. Peschio, we cannot assure you that he and the other key acquisition personnel will remain employed with us. We do not maintain key person life insurance on any of our officers.
A majority of the voting power over our shares is currently concentrated in a relatively small number of unrelated investment managers
      Our shareholder records show that less than 10 investment managers, who have been granted the right by their respective clients to vote our shares, control a majority of our stock. Accordingly, this relatively small number of unrelated investment managers could, if acting in concert based on a common interest or concern, vote a majority of the Company’s shares to achieve a common objective. This result could be deemed harmful to the Company and its other shareholders.
Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of additional shares that may cause dilution.
      In connection with future equity offerings, as well as stock grants pursuant to the Company’s 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, the board of directors may authorize the issuance of additional shares of common stock. The issuance of additional shares could cause either immediately or at a later date a dilution with per share value to our existing stockholders.
Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of shares with differing dividend rights that could harm our stockholders’ right to receive dividends.
      Our board of directors has the power to issue preferred stock or other securities that have distribution rights senior to that of the common stock. Any superior dividend rights could prevent us from paying dividends to the holders of our common stock.
Our rights and the rights of our stockholders to take action against directors and officers are limited.
      Maryland law provides that a director has no liability in that capacity if he or she performs his or her duties in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in our best interests and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. Our governing documents obligate us to indemnify our directors and officers for actions taken by them in those capacities to the extent permitted by Maryland law which applies broadly. Additionally, we may be obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by our directors and officers. Finally, our governing documents limit the liability of our directors and officers for money damages, except for liability resulting from:
  •  actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services; or
 
  •  a final judgment based upon a finding of active and deliberate dishonesty by the director, trustee or officer that was material to the cause of action adjudicated.

Table of Contents

      As a result, we and our stockholders have more limited rights against our directors and officers than might otherwise exist without these conditions.
Our ownership limitations may restrict business combination opportunities.
      To preserve our REIT status, our charter generally prohibits direct or indirect ownership through affiliates by any person of more than 9.8% of the number or value of outstanding shares of any class of our securities, including our common stock. Any transfer of our common stock that would disqualify our REIT status will be null and void, and the intended transferee will acquire no rights in such stock. These ownership limitations could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control or other transaction in which holders of common stock might receive a premium for their common stock over the then current market price or which such holders might believe to be otherwise in their best interest. Further, shares that are transferred in excess of the 9.8% ownership limit will be designated as “excess shares” subject to redemption. The ownership limitation provisions also may make our common stock an unsuitable investment vehicle for any person seeking to obtain, either alone or with others as a group, ownership of more than 9.8% of the number or value of outstanding shares of any class of our securities.
Maryland law grants broad authority to our board to reject any outside proposal involving a change in control.
      Maryland law provides broad discretion to our board of directors with respect to its duties in considering a change in control of our company, including that a board is subject to no greater level of scrutiny in considering a change in control transaction than with respect to any other action within its authority that it considers.
Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have employment agreements that provide them with benefits in the event their employment is terminated, which could prevent or deter a potential acquirer from pursuing a change of control of our company.
      We have entered into employment agreements with Thomas D. Peschio, our president and chief executive officer, and Nancy D. Olson, our treasurer and chief financial officer, which provide them with severance benefits if their employment ends due to a termination by us without cause. In the case of such termination, we would have to pay severance and the vesting of their restricted stock will accelerate. Mr. Peschio also has the right to terminate his employment agreement upon a change of control of our Company and receive severance benefits. These agreements could prevent or deter a change of control of our Company that might involve a premium price for our common stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders. Mr. Peschio’s employment agreement is further discussed in our registration statement on Form S-11 and is included as exhibit 10.3 in the registration statement.
Risks Related to the Real Estate Industry
Mortgage debt obligations expose us to increased risk of property losses, which could harm our financial condition, cash flow and ability to satisfy our other debt obligations and pay dividends.
      Incurring mortgage debt increases our risk of property losses because defaults on indebtedness secured by properties may result in our loss of the property securing any loan for which we are in default. For tax purposes, a foreclosure is treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. The outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage could exceed our tax basis in the property, which would cause us to recognize taxable income on foreclosure, without receiving corresponding cash proceeds. As a result, we may be required to utilize other sources of cash to pay our taxes, which may result in a decrease in cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
      In addition, our default under any one of our mortgage debt obligations may increase the risk of our default on our other indebtedness. If this occurs, our financial condition, cash flow and ability to satisfy our other debt obligations or ability to pay dividends may be harmed.

Illiquidity of real estate investments could significantly impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties and harm our financial condition.
      Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, our ability to promptly sell one or more properties in our portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions is limited. The real estate market is affected by many factors that are beyond our control, including:
  •  adverse changes in national and local economic and market conditions;
 
  •  changes in interest rates and in the availability, cost and terms of debt financing;
 
  •  changes in governmental laws and regulations, fiscal policies and zoning ordinances and costs of compliance with laws and regulations, fiscal policies and ordinances;
 
  •  the ongoing need for capital improvements, particularly in older structures;
 
  •  changes in operating expenses; and
 
  •  civil unrest, acts of war and natural disasters, including earthquakes and floods, which may result in uninsured and underinsured losses.
      We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any property for the price or on the terms set by us, or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us. We also cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of a property. These factors and any others that would impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties could harm our operating results and financial condition, as well as our ability to pay dividends to stockholders.
Compliance with environmental laws could materially increase our operating expenses.
      There may be environmental problems associated with our properties of which we are unaware. If environmental contamination exists on our properties, we could become subject to strict liability for the contamination. The presence of hazardous substances on a property may adversely affect our ability to sell the property and we may incur substantial remediation costs. In addition, although we may require in our leases that tenants operate in compliance with all applicable laws and to indemnify us against any environmental liabilities arising from a tenant’s activities on the property, we could nonetheless be subject to strict liability by virtue of our ownership interest, and we cannot be sure that our tenants would satisfy their indemnification obligations Such environmental liability exposure associated with our properties could harm our results of operations and financial condition and our ability to pay dividends to stockholders.
Our properties may contain or develop harmful mold, which could lead to liability for adverse health effects and costs of remediating the problem.
      The presence of significant mold at any of our properties could require us to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold from the affected property. In addition, the presence of significant mold could expose us to liability from our tenants, employees of our tenants and others if property damage for health concerns arise.
Compliance with the Americans with disabilities act and fire, safety and other regulations may require us to make unexpected expenditures that adversely impact our ability to pay dividends.
      Our properties may be required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, or the ADA. Compliance with the ADA requirements could necessitate removal of access barriers and non-compliance could result in imposition of fines by the U.S. government or an award of damages to private litigants, or both. We could be required to expend our funds to comply with the provisions of the ADA, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition and our ability to make distributions to stockholders. In addition, we are required to operate our properties in compliance with fire and safety regulations, building codes and other land use regulations, as they may be adopted and become applicable to our properties. We

38


Table of Contents

may be required to make substantial capital expenditures to comply with those requirements and which could harm our ability to pay dividends.
An uninsured loss or a loss that exceeds the insurance policy limits on our properties could subject us to lost capital or revenue on those properties.
      Our comprehensive loss insurance policies may involve substantial deductibles and certain exclusions and may not be fully in place to cover all conditions when a property is acquired. In certain areas, we may have to obtain earthquake insurance on specific properties as required by our lenders or by law. We have also obtained terrorism insurance on all of our GSA-leased properties, but this insurance is subject to exclusions for loss or damage caused by nuclear substances, pollutants, contaminants and biological and chemical weapons. Should a loss occur that is uninsured or in an amount exceeding the combined aggregate limits for the policies noted above, or in the event of a loss that is subject to a substantial deductible under an insurance policy, we could lose all or part of our capital invested in, and anticipated revenue from, one or more of the properties, which could harm our operations results and financial condition as well as our ability to pay dividends.
Tax Risks of Our Business and Structure
An investment in our common stock has various tax risks that could affect the value of our stockholders’ investment.
      Special tax risks associated with owning stock in our Company include those associated with the treatment of distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits to the extent that they exceed the adjusted basis of an investor’s common stock, as long-term capital gain (or short-term capital gain if the shares have been held for less than one year); the treatment of any dividend declared by us in October, November or December of any year payable to a stockholder of record on a specific date in any such month as being paid by us and received by the stockholder on December 31 of such year; the treatment of any gain or loss realized upon a taxable disposition of shares by a stockholder who is not a dealer in securities as a long-term capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for more than one year, otherwise as short-term capital gain or loss; the treatment of distributions that we designate as capital gain dividends taxable to stockholders as gains (to the extent that they do not exceed our actual net capital gain for the taxable year) from the sale or disposition of a capital asset held for greater than one year; and distributions we make and gains arising from the sale or exchange by a stockholder of shares of our stock not qualifying to be offset by passive losses.
Distribution requirements imposed by law limit our flexibility in executing our business plan.
      As a REIT, we generally are required to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our taxable REIT income each year to maintain our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Taxable REIT income is determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and by excluding net capital gains. We are also required to pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we distribute less than 100% of our taxable income (including net capital gains) each year. In addition, we are required to pay 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which certain distributions we pay with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income for that calendar year, 95% of our capital gain net income for the calendar year and any amount of our income that was not distributed in prior years.
We may incur additional indebtedness to meet our distribution requirements. while we have not borrowed for the specific purpose of paying distributions, our prior borrowings allowed us to pay distributions from our cash flow from operations.
      It is possible that the differences between the time we actually receive revenue or pay expenses and the period we report those items for distribution purposes, and potentially insufficient cash, could result in our having to borrow funds on a short-term basis to meet the 90% distribution requirement to qualify for REIT tax status. While we have not borrowed for the specific purpose of paying distributions, our prior borrowings allowed us to pay distributions from our operations. These borrowings may decrease cash available for distribution.

Our disposal of properties may have negative implications, including unfavorable tax consequences.
      If we make a sale of a property directly, and it is deemed to be a sale of dealer property or inventory, the sale may be deemed to be a “prohibited transaction” under the provisions of the federal tax laws applicable to REITs, in which case our gain from the sale would be subject to a 100% penalty tax. If we believe that a sale of a property might be treated as a prohibited transaction, we will attempt to structure a sale through a taxable REIT subsidiary, in which case the gain from the sale would be subject to corporate income tax but not the 100% prohibited transaction tax. We cannot assure you, however, that the IRS would not assert successfully that sales of properties that we make directly, rather than through a taxable REIT subsidiary, were sales of dealer property or inventory, in which case the 100% penalty tax would apply.
If we fail to remain qualified as a REIT, our dividends will not be deductible by us, and our income will be subject to taxation.
      If we fail to remain qualified as a REIT, our dividends will not be deductible by us and we will be subject to a corporate level tax on our taxable income. This would substantially reduce our cash available to pay dividends and the yield on your investment. Incurring corporate income tax liability might cause us to borrow funds, liquidate some of our investments or take other steps which could negatively affect our operating results. If our REIT status is terminated because of our failure to meet a REIT qualification requirement or if we voluntarily revoke our election, we would be disqualified from electing treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in which REIT status is lost.
We may be subject to federal income tax, state income, franchise and other local taxes that would harm our financial condition.
      Even if we maintain our status as a REIT, we may become subject to federal income taxes. For example, if we have net income from a sale of dealer property or inventory, that income will be subject to a 100% penalty tax. In addition, we may not be able to pay sufficient distributions to avoid corporate income tax and the 4% excise tax on undistributed income.
      We may also be subject to state and local taxes on our income or property, either directly or at the level of our operating entities through which we indirectly own our properties that would aversely affect our operating results. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain REIT status, or that it will be in our best interests to continue to do so.
We may be subject to adverse legislative or regulatory tax changes that could reduce the market price of our common stock.
      The federal tax laws governing REITs and the administrative interpretations of those laws may be amended at any time. Any of those new laws or interpretations may take effect retroactively. For example, on May 28, 2003, President Bush signed into law legislation that could cause shares in non-REIT corporations to be a more attractive investment to individual investors than they had been, because of lower tax rates on their dividends as compared to the tax rate paid by shareholders receiving REIT distributions. This and other tax legislation in the future could harm the market price of our common stock.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
      Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments depend upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates.
Market Risk Related to Fixed-Rate Debt
      As of December 31, 2004, our debt included fixed-rate mortgage notes with a carrying value of $77.6 million. Changes in market interest rates on our fixed-rate debt impacts the fair market value of the debt, but it has no impact on interest incurred or cash flow. The sensitivity analysis related to our fixed debt

assumes an immediate 100 basis point move in interest rates from their actual December 31, 2004 levels, with all other variables held constant.
      A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt by approximately $3.8 million at December 31, 2004. A 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would result in an increase in the fair market value of our fixed-rate debt by approximately $4.1 million at December 31, 2004.

      Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our management continues to review our internal controls and procedures and the effectiveness of those controls. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.
      Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors during our last fiscal year that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As a result, no corrective actions were required or taken.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
Government Properties Trust, Inc.
      We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Government Properties Trust, Inc., as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (a). These financial statements and the schedule are the responsibility of the management of Government Properties Trust, Inc. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the schedule based on our audits.
      We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Government Properties Trust, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
      In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Government Properties Trust, Inc. at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

GOVERNMENT PROPERTIES TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Nature of Business and Operations
      Government Properties Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Michigan in 1998. In January 2004, the Company completed a public offering of its common stock and listed its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange. In connection with this offering, the Company reincorporated in Maryland and changed its name to Government Properties Trust, Inc. The historical operations included in the consolidated financial statements are those of its predecessor company (Gen-Net Lease Income Trust, Inc.). References to the “Company” for periods prior to 2004 refer to Gen-Net Lease Income Trust, Inc. and to Government Properties Trust, Inc. for subsequent periods. The Company made an election to operate as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for federal income tax purposes, beginning in 2003.
      The Company began formal operations with its first property acquisition in December 2002 and, as of December 31, 2004, the Company owned twelve properties located throughout the United States (see Note 8). The Company acquires properties through various operating entities, which are wholly-owned by the Company. The Company operates in one segment.
      Genesis Financial Group, Inc. (“Genesis”), a stockholder of the Company, provided property management and administrative services to the Company from inception through January 2004 (see Note 7). Genesis continues to provide acquisition related services to the Company. The Company had no full-time employees during 2003 and 2002.
      Between October 2002 and August 2003, the Company sold 955,552 shares of its common stock at $10 per share. In January 2004, the Company sold 19.3 million shares of its common stock (the “Offering”) at $10 per share and listed its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange. The Offering raised approximately $177 million in net proceeds.
      During the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company declared dividends of $0.60 per common share, which were paid quarterly in the months of April, July, October and January. The April and July 2003 dividends were paid on a pro rata basis. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company declared a dividend of $0.075 per common share, which was paid on a pro rata basis in January 2003.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
      Property holding entities and other subsidiaries of which the Company owns 100% of the equity (voting shares or partnership interests) are consolidated (currently the Company only has 100% equity owned subsidiaries). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. For entities in which the Company may own less than 100% of the equity interest, the Company may consolidate the property if it has a controlling financial interest evidenced by ownership of a majority voting interest (subject only to protective rights of minority owners). For entities in which the Company owns less than 100% and does not have a controlling financial interest or the direct or indirect ability to make decisions, but does exert significant influence over the entities’ activities, the Company will record its ownership in the entity using the equity method of accounting.
      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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.

GOVERNMENT PROPERTIES TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
      Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, with no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Real Estate
      The Company allocates the purchase price of properties to net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired based on their fair values in accordance with the provisions Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141 “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”). In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, the Company utilizes a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other market data. 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.
      The Company allocates a portion of the purchase price to above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired 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 the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. In the case of below market leases, the Company considers the remaining contractual lease period and renewal periods, taking into consideration the likelihood of the tenant exercising its renewal options. The capitalized above-market lease values (which would be presented as lease intangibles in consolidated balance sheets) would be amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values (presented as deferred income) are amortized as an addition to rental income over the remaining contractual lease period including any renewal periods included in the valuation analysis. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the lease intangibles would be charged to expense.
      The Company allocates a portion of the purchase price to the value of leases acquired based on the difference between (i) the property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and (ii) the property valued as if vacant. The Company utilizes independent appraisals or its estimates to determine the respective in-place lease values. The Company’s estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors management considers in its analysis include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods. The Company also estimates costs to execute similar leases including tenant improvements, leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.
      The Company also considers an allocation of purchase price to in-place lease that have a related customer relationship intangible values. Characteristics management considers in allocating these values include the nature and extent of 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, among other factors. The Company currently has the U.S. Government as its major tenant, but has not yet developed a relationship that it would consider to have any current intangible value.
      The value of in-place leases (presented as tenant origination costs in consolidated balance sheet) is amortized to expense over the remaining initial term of the respective leases. The value of customer relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the remaining initial term, including any renewal periods included in the valuation analysis for 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 tenant origination costs and customer relationship intangibles would be charged to expense.
      Amounts allocated to tangible land, building, tenant improvements, equipment and fixtures are based on independent appraisals or our own analysis of comparable properties in the existing portfolio.
      All development projects and related carrying costs are capitalized and reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as “Real estate under development.” As each project is completed and becomes available for lease-up, the total cost of the building is depreciated over the estimated useful life. Interest and personnel support cost directly related to the development are capitalized as part of the real estate under development to the extent that such charges do not cause the carrying value of the asset to exceed its net realizable value.
      Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which are as follows:
     
Building and improvements
  39 years
Tenants origination costs
  Remaining term of the related lease
Lease intangibles
  Remaining term of the related lease (included as a reduction of rental revenue)
Tenant improvements
  Term of related leases
Furniture and equipment
  3-7 years
      Real estate is carried at depreciated cost. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as incurred. Significant renovations and improvements, which improve and/or extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful life. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of” (“SFAS 144”), the Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets during the expected holding period are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. Impairment losses are measured as the difference between carrying value and fair value of assets. For assets held for sale, impairment is measured as the difference between carrying value and fair value, less cost to dispose. Fair value is based on estimated cash flows discounted at a risk-adjusted rate of interest.
Cash Equivalents
      Certificates of deposit and short-term investments with remaining maturities of three months or less when acquired are considered cash equivalents.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
      Allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of certain tenants to meet the contractual obligations under their lease agreements. The Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.
Concentration of Credit Risk
      Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash investments and accounts receivable from tenants. In order to limit credit risk, the Company places its cash and investments in investment-grade short-term instruments. The cash and investment account balances at each financial institution typically exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage.

Real Estate Deposits
      The Company makes deposits on proposed property purchases. At December 31, 2004 and 2003 the deposits were $685,993 and $500,000. The deposits were made on properties acquired in 2004 or to be acquired in 2005 (see Note 8).
Deferred Costs
      Costs incurred in connection with financings, refinancings or debt modifications are capitalized as deferred financing costs and are amortized on the straight-line method over the lives of the related loans. Leasing commissions and other leasing costs directly attributable to tenant leases are capitalized as deferred leasing costs and are amortized on the straight-line method over the terms of the related lease agreements. Costs incurred prior to the completion of the Offering that directly related to the Offering were deferred and then netted against proceeds received from the Offering.
Rental Revenue
      Rental revenue is recorded on the straight-line method over the terms of the related lease agreements for new leases and the remaining terms of existing leases for acquired properties. Differences between rental revenue earned and amounts due per the respective lease agreements are credited or charged, as applicable, to deferred rent receivable. Rental payments received prior to their recognition as income are classified as rent received in advance.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
      The Company believes that the interest rates associated with its lines-of credit and mortgages notes payable approximate the market interest rates for these types of debt instruments and as such, the carrying amount of the mortgages payable approximate their fair value.
      The carrying amount of notes receivable, cash equivalents, escrows and deposits, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments.
Income Taxes
      The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent that it distributes at least 90% of the Company’s taxable REIT income to its stockholders. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. No federal income taxes have been recorded in 2004 and 2003.
      The aggregate cost and net basis of land, real estate under development and depreciable property for federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $158.8 million and $156.4 million, respectively for 2004 and $39.2 million and $39.0 million, respectively for 2003. The main differences between net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP and taxable income (loss) relates to differences in depreciable lives used in calculating depreciation expense and the recording of straight-line rent revenue under GAAP. All distributions made during 2004 and 2003 were considered return of capital.
      For 2002, the Company accounted for income taxes payable in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”), which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. SFAS 109 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation

allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. During 2002, the Company recorded a deferred income tax benefit and a deferred tax asset of $725 related to a carry back of 2002 net operating losses to offset 2001 taxable income. No other provisions for income tax were required.
      The Company paid income taxes of $725 for the year ended December 31, 2002 related to 2001 income taxes. The Company made no other income tax payments in any other year presented.
Common Stock and Earnings Per Share
      The Company reports earnings per share pursuant to SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic loss per share attributable for all periods presented is computed by dividing the loss to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company had no common stock equivalents outstanding in 2003 and 2002. The Company had nonvested stock grants of 146,302 shares outstanding during 2004 which were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
3. Deferred Costs
      Deferred costs consist of the following at December 31, 2004 and 2003:
                 
    2004   2003
         
Financing costs
  $ 1,217,981     $ 134,709  
Offering costs
          1,822,871  
             
Accumulated amortization
    (280,825 )     (9,230 )
             
    $ 937,156     $ 1,948,350  
             
      In connection with the completion of the Offering, offering costs of $1.8 million at December 31, 2003 were reclassified to Additional Paid-in Capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
4. Equity Incentive Plan
      The Company has a 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, which has 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance thereunder. The purposes of the plan are to optimize the Company’s profitability and growth through long-term incentives which are consistent with the Company’s objectives and which link the interests of participants to those of the Company’s stockholders, provide participants with an incentive for excellence in individual performance and promote teamwork among participants and give the Company a significant advantage in attracting and retaining officers, key employees and directors.
      The plan is administered by the Company’s compensation committee. Among other functions, the compensation committee has the authority to select the participants under the plan; to determine the types of awards to be granted to participants and the number of shares covered by such awards; to set the terms and conditions of such awards; to determine whether, to what extent and when awards may be settled in cash or shares; to determine whether, to what extent and when cash, shares and other awards may be deferred; and to establish, amend or waive rules for the administration of the plan. Subject to the express terms of the plan, determinations and interpretations with respect to the plan and award agreements will be in the sole discretion of the compensation committee, whose determinations and interpretations will be binding on all parties. Any key employee, non-employee director, consultant or advisor is eligible to be granted awards under the plan.
      The plan authorizes the grant of: (a) stock options, which may be either incentive stock options meeting the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code or non-qualified stock options; (b) stock appreciation rights; (c) restricted stock; and (d) performance units. If any shares subject to awards granted

under the plan, or to which any award relates, are forfeited or if an award otherwise terminates, expires or is cancelled prior to the delivery of all of the shares or other consideration issuable or payable pursuant to the award, then such shares will be available for the granting of new awards under the plan.
      In connection with the original issuance of shares in 2004, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123”. On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. This statement will have no effect on the Company’s financial statements.
      The Company recognizes compensation expense for restricted shares issued based upon the fair market value of the common stock at the grant date. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. During 2004, the Company granted 190,015 restricted shares pursuant to the Plan. The fair value of the shares at the time of the grants ranged from $10.31 to $13.90 per share. Of the shares issued, 16,768 shares vested immediately or during 2004. The remaining 173,247 restricted shares outstanding at December 31, 2004 vest over two to five years. Compensation expense recognized in 2004 and included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations was $864,673. As of December 31, 2004, there are 809,985 shares available for grant under the Plan.

(A) In accordance with SFAS 141, the Company allocated the purchase price for these properties to net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired based on their fair values (including land, buildings, tenant improvements, acquired above and below market leases and the origination cost of acquired in-place leases) and acquired liabilities, and allocated the purchase price based on these assessments, including land at appraised value and buildings at replacement costs. The Company assessed fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize discount and capitalization rates deemed appropriate by management and available market information. The value of tenant origination costs are amortized over the remaining term of the respective leases. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had tenant origination costs with a net balance of $25,215,848. The Company anticipates annual amortization expense over the next five years to approximate $2,187,000 per year.
 
(B) In connection with the purchase of this property, the Company assumed a first mortgage note in the amount of $2,308,422 and an unsecured note payable in the amount of $188,230. The Company paid off the unsecured note payable during 2004.
 
(C) Included in the acquisition cost amount is a note receivable from tenant in the amount of $694,293 which the Company assumed with the purchase of this property. The interest on the note receivable is fixed at 8% per annum with principal and interest payable monthly through 2012.
 
(D) In connection with the purchase of this property, the Company assumed a first mortgage note in the amount of $16,650,000. Acquisition cost includes $1,200,000 payable to seller to be paid no later than April 2005.
 
(E) The federal government has exercised a consolidation option whereby the Company will expand the Parkersburg Property by an additional 102,000 rentable square feet. The cost of the expansion to the Property will be approximately $22.5 million and will be paid over the term of the expansion scheduled for completion in 2006. Cost capitalized as of December 31, 2004 totaled $1,180,523 and is reflected as real estate under development in the accompanying 2004 Balance Sheet.

9. Issuance and Exercise of Warrant
      In connection with providing a line of credit, an affiliate of one of the Company’s underwriters in the Offering was issued a warrant to purchase up to 210,000 shares of common stock. The underwriter’s affiliate exercised the warrants and the Company recognized an expense of approximately $2.1 million in 2004.
10. Discontinued Operations
