Highlight of Business Operations:

The Company s core markets continue to be weak. The percentage leased in the Company s consolidated portfolio of stabilized operating properties was 87.6 percent at June 30, 2012 as compared to 87.9 percent at March 31, 2012 and 88.1 percent at June 30, 2011. Percentage leased includes all leases in effect as of the period end date, some of which have commencement dates in the future and leases that expire at the period end date. Leases that expired as of June 30, 2012, March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011 aggregate 198,109, 148,404 and 132,351 square feet, respectively, or 0.6, 0.5 and 0.4 percentage of the net rentable square footage, respectively. Rental rates (including escalations) on the Company s space that was renewed (based on first rents payable) during the three months ended June 30, 2012 (on 400,442 square feet of renewals) decreased an average of 3.1 percent compared to rates that were in effect under the prior leases, as compared to a 6.3 percent decrease during the three months ended June 30, 2011 (on 523,852 square feet of renewals). Estimated lease costs for the renewed leases during the three months ended June 30, 2012 averaged $2.11 per square foot per year for a weighted average lease term of 3.7 years, and estimated lease costs for the renewed leases for the three months ended June 30, 2011 averaged $2.22 per square foot per year for a weighted average lease term of 4.5 years. The Company believes that vacancy rates may continue to increase and rental rates may continue to decline in some of its markets through 2012 and possibly beyond. As of June 30, 2012, leases which comprise approximately 11.5 percent of the Company s annualized base rent are scheduled to expire during the year ended December 31, 2013. With the decline of rental rates in our markets over the past few years, as leases expire in 2013, assuming no further changes in current market rental rates, the Company expects that the rental rates it is likely to achieve on new leases will generally be lower than the rates currently being paid, thereby resulting in less revenue from the same space. As a result of the above factors, the Company s future earnings and cash flow may continue to be negatively impacted by current market conditions.

Construction services revenue increased $1.8 million, or 62.9 percent, in 2012 as compared to 2011, due to increased construction contracts in 2012. Real estate services revenue was relatively unchanged, for 2012 as compared to 2011.

Equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures increased $1.0 or 135.5 percent, for 2012 as compared to 2011 due primarily to income of $0.9 million in 2012 in the Stamford SM LLC venture, entered into in February 2012, and increased income of $0.2 million in the Harborside South Pier venture for 2012 as compared to 2011.

Construction services revenue increased $1.4 million, or 21.8 percent, in 2012 as compared to 2011, due to increased construction contracts in 2012. Real estate services revenue was relatively unchanged, for 2012 as compared to 2011.

Equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures increased $1.7 million or 267.4 percent, for 2012 as compared to 2011 due primarily to income of $1.3 million in 2012 in the Stamford SM LLC venture entered into on February 2012, and increased income of $0.4 million in the Harborside South Pier venture.
