EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and BioMed Realty, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership of which BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. is the parent company and general partner. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our” or “our company” refer to BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including BioMed Realty, L.P. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to “our operating partnership” or “the operating partnership” refer to BioMed Realty, L.P. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. operates as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and the general partner of BioMed Realty, L.P. As of March 31, 2011, BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. owned an approximate 97.8% partnership interest and other limited partners, including some of our directors, executive officers and their affiliates, owned the remaining 2.2% partnership interest (including long term incentive plan units) in BioMed Realty, L.P. As the sole general partner of BioMed Realty, L.P., BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for the operating partnership’s day-to-day management and control.
There are a few differences between our company and our operating partnership, which are reflected in the disclosure in this report. We believe it is important to understand the differences between our company and our operating partnership in the context of how BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. and BioMed Realty, L.P. operate as an interrelated consolidated company. BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of BioMed Realty, L.P. As a result, BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of BioMed Realty, L.P., issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of BioMed Realty, L.P. BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. itself does not hold any indebtedness but guarantees some of the secured and unsecured debt of BioMed Realty, L.P. BioMed Realty, L.P. holds substantially all the assets of the company and holds the ownership interests in the company’s joint ventures. BioMed Realty, L.P. conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by BioMed Realty Trust, Inc., which are generally contributed to BioMed Realty, L.P. in exchange for partnership units, BioMed Realty, L.P. generates the capital required by the company’s business through BioMed Realty, L.P.’s operations, by BioMed Realty, L.P.’s direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of partnership units.
Noncontrolling interests and stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. and those of BioMed Realty, L.P. The operating partnership and long term incentive plan units in BioMed Realty, L.P. that are not owned by BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. are accounted for as partners’ capital in BioMed Realty, L.P.’s financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.’s financial statements. The noncontrolling interests in BioMed Realty, L.P.’s financial statements include the interests of joint venture partners. The noncontrolling interests in BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.’s financial statements include the same noncontrolling interests at the BioMed Realty, L.P. level as well as the limited partnership unitholders of BioMed Realty, L.P., not including BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. The differences between stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital result from the differences in the equity issued at the BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. and the BioMed Realty, L.P. levels.
We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. and BioMed Realty, L.P. into this single report:
 
better reflects how management and the analyst community view the business as a single operating unit,
 
enhances investor understanding of our company by enabling them to view the business as a whole and in the same manner as management,
 
 
is more efficient for our company and results in savings in time, effort and expense, and
 
 
is more efficient for investors by reducing duplicative disclosure and providing a single document for their review.

BIOMED REALTY TRUST, INC.
BIOMED REALTY, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Organization of the Parent Company and Description of Business
BioMed Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Parent Company”), was incorporated in Maryland on April 30, 2004. On August 11, 2004, the Parent Company commenced operations after completing its initial public offering. The Parent Company operates as a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on acquiring, developing, owning, leasing and managing laboratory and office space for the life science industry principally through its subsidiary, BioMed Realty, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and together with the Parent Company referred to as the “Company”). The Company’s tenants primarily include biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, scientific research institutions, government agencies and other entities involved in the life science industry. The Company’s properties are generally located in markets with well-established reputations as centers for scientific research, including Boston, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New York/New Jersey.
The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of March 31, 2011, owned a 97.8% percentage interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining 2.2% percentage interest in the Operating Partnership is held by limited partners. Each partner’s percentage interest in the Operating Partnership is determined based on the number of operating partnership units and long-term incentive plan units (“LTIP units” and together with the operating partnership units, the “OP units”) owned as compared to total OP units (and potentially issuable OP units, as applicable) outstanding as of each period end and is used as the basis for the allocation of net income or loss to each partner.
2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited, but have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been recorded. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes therein included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, partnerships and limited liability companies it controls, and variable interest entities for which the Company has determined itself to be the primary beneficiary. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company consolidates entities the Company controls and records a noncontrolling interest for the portions not owned by the Company. Control is determined, where applicable, by the sufficiency of equity invested and the rights of the equity holders, and by the ownership of a majority of the voting interests, with consideration given to the existence of approval or veto rights granted to the minority stockholder. If the minority stockholder holds substantive participating rights, it overcomes the presumption of control by the majority voting interest holder. In contrast, if the minority stockholder simply holds protective rights (such as consent rights over certain actions), it does not overcome the presumption of control by the majority voting interest holder.
Investments in Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies
The Company evaluates its investments in limited liability companies and partnerships to determine whether such entities may be a variable interest entity, or VIE, and, if a VIE, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. Generally, an entity is determined to be a VIE when either (1) the equity investors (if any) lack one or more of the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest, (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has both (1) the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company considers a variety of factors in identifying the entity that holds the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance including, but not limited to, the ability to direct financing, leasing, construction and other operating decisions and activities. In addition, the Company considers the rights of other investors to participate in policy making decisions, to replace or remove the manager and to liquidate or sell the entity. The obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits when a reporting entity is affiliated with a VIE must be based on ownership, contractual, and/or other pecuniary interests in that VIE. The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary in five VIEs, consisting of single-tenant properties in which the tenant has a fixed-price purchase option, which are consolidated and reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

Selected financial data of the VIEs at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 consist of the following:
                 
    March 31,     December 31,  
    2011     2010  
Investment in real estate, net
  $ 386,297     $ 375,428  
Total assets
    425,360       414,993  
Total debt
    147,000       147,000  
Total liabilities
    159,089       161,697  
If the foregoing conditions do not apply, the Company considers whether a general partner or managing member controls a limited partnership or limited liability company. The general partner in a limited partnership or managing member in a limited liability company is presumed to control that limited partnership or limited liability company. The presumption may be overcome if the limited partners or members have either (1) the substantive ability to dissolve the limited partnership or limited liability company or otherwise remove the general partner or managing member without cause or (2) substantive participating rights, which provide the limited partners or members with the ability to effectively participate in significant decisions that would be expected to be made in the ordinary course of the limited partnership’s or limited liability company’s business and thereby preclude the general partner or managing member from exercising unilateral control over the partnership or company. If these criteria are met and the Company is the general partner or the managing member, as applicable, the consolidation of the partnership or limited liability company is required.
Except for investments that are consolidated, the Company accounts for investments in entities over which it exercises significant influence, but does not control, under the equity method of accounting. These investments are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s net equity in the investment is reflected in the consolidated balance sheets and its share of net income or loss is included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the carrying value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated partnerships or limited liability companies may be impaired on an other than temporary basis. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the fair-value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment on an other than temporary basis. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying value of the investment over the fair-value of the investment. Management does not believe that the value of any of the Company’s unconsolidated investments in partnerships or limited liability companies was impaired as of March 31, 2011.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) expected to result from the long-lived asset’s use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a long-lived asset, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair-value of the property. The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the values of its investments in long-lived assets. These assessments have a direct impact on the Company’s net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. Although the Company’s strategy is to hold its properties over the long-term, if the Company’s strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized to reduce the property to the lower of the carrying amount or fair-value, and such loss could be material. As of and through March 31, 2011, no assets have been identified as impaired and no such impairment losses have been recognized.
Deferred Leasing Costs
Leasing commissions and other direct costs associated with obtaining new or renewal leases are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases, with remaining terms ranging from less than one year to approximately 21 years as of March 31, 2011. Deferred leasing costs also include the net carrying value of acquired in-place leases and acquired management agreements.

Revenue Recognition
The Company commences revenue recognition on its leases based on a number of factors. In most cases, revenue recognition under a lease begins when the lessee takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased asset. Generally, this occurs on the lease commencement date. In determining what constitutes the leased asset, the Company evaluates whether the Company or the lessee is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements. If the Company is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements, then the leased asset is the finished space and revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of the finished space, typically when the improvements are substantially complete. If the Company concludes that it is not the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements (the lessee is the owner), then the leased asset is the unimproved space and any tenant improvement allowances funded under the lease are treated as lease incentives, which reduce revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining non-cancelable term of the respective lease. In these circumstances, the Company begins revenue recognition when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space for the lessee to construct improvements. The determination of who is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements determines the nature of the leased asset and when revenue recognition under a lease begins. The Company considers a number of different factors to evaluate whether it or the lessee is the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes. These factors include:
 
whether the lease stipulates how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;
 
whether the tenant or landlord retain legal title to the improvements;

Table of Contents

 
the uniqueness of the improvements;
 
the expected economic life of the tenant improvements relative to the length of the lease;
 
the responsible party for construction cost overruns; and
 
who constructs or directs the construction of the improvements.
The determination of who owns the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, is subject to significant judgment. In making that determination, the Company considers all of the above factors. However, no one factor is determinative in reaching a conclusion.
All leases are classified as operating leases and minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases are included in accrued straight-line rents on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and contractually due but unpaid rents are included in accounts receivable. Existing leases at acquired properties are reviewed at the time of acquisition to determine if contractual rents are above or below current market rents for the acquired property. An identifiable lease intangible asset or liability is recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (2) the Company’s estimate of the fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases at acquisition, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases and any fixed rate renewal periods (based on the Company’s assessment of the likelihood that the renewal periods will be exercised). The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases and any fixed-rate renewal periods, if applicable. If a tenant vacates its space prior to the contractual termination of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance of the related intangible will be written off.

Rental operations expenses, consisting of real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance costs, are subject to recovery from tenants under the terms of lease agreements. Amounts recovered are dependent on several factors, including occupancy and lease terms. Revenues are recognized in the period the expenses are incurred. The reimbursements are recorded in revenues as tenant recoveries, and the expenses are recorded in rental operations expenses, as the Company is generally the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, has discretion in selecting the supplier and bears the credit risk.

On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the recoverability of tenant balances, including rents receivable, straight-line rents receivable, tenant improvements, deferred leasing costs and any acquisition intangibles. When it is determined that the recoverability of tenant balances is not probable, an allowance for expected losses related to tenant receivables, including straight-line rents receivable, utilizing the specific identification method, is recorded as a charge to earnings. Upon the termination of a lease, the amortization of tenant improvements, deferred leasing costs and acquisition intangible assets and liabilities is accelerated to the expected termination date as a charge to their respective line items and tenant receivables are written off as a reduction of the allowance in the period in which the balance is deemed to be no longer collectible. For financial reporting purposes, a lease is treated as terminated upon a tenant filing for bankruptcy, when a space is abandoned and a tenant ceases rent payments, or when other circumstances indicate that termination of a tenant’s lease is probable (e.g., eviction). Lease termination fees are recognized in other income when the related leases are canceled, the amounts to be received are fixed and determinable and collectability is assured, and when the Company has no continuing obligation to provide services to such former tenants.

Investments
The Company, through its Operating Partnership, holds investments in equity securities in certain publicly-traded companies and privately-held companies primarily involved in the life science industry. The Company does not acquire investments for trading purposes and, as a result, all of the Company’s investments in publicly-traded companies are considered “available-for-sale” and are recorded at fair-value. Changes in the fair-value of investments classified as available-for-sale are recorded in other comprehensive income. The fair-value of the Company’s equity securities in publicly-traded companies is determined based upon the closing trading price of the equity security as of the balance sheet date. Investments in equity securities of privately-held companies are generally accounted for under the cost method, because the Company does not influence any operating or financial policies of the companies in which it invests. The classification of investments is determined at the time each investment is made, and such determination is reevaluated at each balance sheet date. The cost of investments sold is determined by the specific identification method, with net realized gains and losses included in other income. For all investments in equity securities, if a decline in the fair-value of an investment below its carrying value is determined to be other-than-temporary, such investment is written down to its estimated fair-value with a non-cash charge to earnings. The factors that the Company considers in making these assessments include, but are not limited to, market prices, market conditions, available financing, prospects for favorable or unfavorable clinical trial results, new product initiatives and new collaborative agreements.

(1)  
Determination of fair-value is classified as Level 1 in the fair-value hierarchy based on the use of observable market-based inputs.
 
(2)  
Investments in equity securities in privately-held companies are initially recorded at fair-value based on unobservable inputs, which are classified as Level 3 in the fair-value hierarchy.
 
(3)  
The valuation of the Company’s investments in equity securities in total is classified as Level 1 of the fair-value hierarchy due to the de minimis value of the Company’s investments in equity securities of privately-held companies.
The Company’s investments in two publicly traded securities currently have a fair market value that is less than the Company’s initial cost basis in these securities due to decreases in their respective stock prices during the three months ended March 31, 2011. However, management has the intent and ability to retain the investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in market value. Management will continue to periodically evaluate whether any investments, the market value of which is less than the Company’s initial cost basis, should be considered other-than-temporarily-impaired.
The Company’s remaining investments consisted of equity securities in privately-held companies, which were determined to have a de minimis fair-value at receipt. This was the result of substantial doubt about the ability to realize value from the sale of such investments due to an illiquid or non-existent market for the securities and the ongoing financial difficulties of the companies that issued the equity securities.
Share-Based Payments
All share-based payments to employees are recognized in the income statement based on their fair-value. Through March 31, 2011, the Company had only awarded restricted stock of the Parent Company and LTIP units of the Operating Partnership under its incentive award plan, which are valued based on the closing market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, and had not granted any stock options. The fair-value of all share-based payments is amortized to general and administrative expense and rental operations expense over the relevant service period, adjusted for anticipated forfeitures.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair-Value
The Company measures financial instruments and other items at fair-value where required under GAAP, but has elected not to measure any additional financial instruments and other items at fair-value as permitted under fair-value option accounting guidance.
Fair-value measurement is determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair-value measurements, there is a fair-value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).
Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair-value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair-value hierarchy, the level in the fair-value hierarchy within which the entire fair-value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair-value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair-value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The Company has used interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair-values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair-value measurements. In adjusting the fair-value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair-value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of March 31, 2011, the Company has determined that the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions is not significant. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair-value hierarchy (see Note 9).
The valuation of the Company’s investments in equity securities of publicly-traded companies utilizes Level 1 inputs, based on the closing trading price of the securities as of the balance sheet date. The valuation of the Company’s investments in equity securities of private companies utilizes Level 3 inputs (including any discounts applied to the valuations). However, as of March 31, 2011, the Company’s aggregate investment in equity securities of private companies was immaterial.
No other assets or liabilities are measured at fair-value on a recurring basis, or have been measured at fair-value on a non-recurring basis subsequent to initial recognition, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2011.
Derivative Instruments
The Company records all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair-value. In determining the fair-value of its derivatives, the Company considers the credit risk of its counterparties and the Company. These counterparties are generally larger financial institutions engaged in providing a variety of financial services. These institutions generally face similar risks regarding adverse changes in market and economic conditions, including, but not limited to, fluctuations in interest rates, exchange rates, equity and commodity prices and credit spreads. The ongoing disruptions in the financial markets have heightened the risks to these institutions. While management believes that its counterparties will meet their obligations under the derivative contracts, it is possible that defaults may occur.
The accounting for changes in the fair-value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair-value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair-value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair-value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair-value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.

Table of Contents

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair-value of the derivative is initially reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. If charges relating to the hedged transaction are being deferred pursuant to redevelopment or development activities, the effective portion of changes in the fair-value of the derivative are also deferred in other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheet, and are amortized to the income statement once the deferred charges from the hedged transaction begin again to affect earnings. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair-value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction. For derivatives that are not classified as hedges, changes in the fair-value of the derivative are recognized directly in earnings in the period in which the change occurs.
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known or expected cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings.
The Company’s primary objective in using derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements or other identified risks. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying principal amount. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the Company’s unsecured line of credit. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the Company’s unsecured line of credit and secured term loan (see Note 9). The Company formally documents the hedging relationships for all derivative instruments, has historically accounted for its interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges, and does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
Management’s Estimates
Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reporting of revenue and expenses during the reporting period to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Segment Information
The Company’s properties share the following similar economic and operating characteristics: (1) they have similar forecasted returns (measured by capitalization rate at acquisition), (2) they are generally occupied almost exclusively by life science tenants that are public companies, government agencies or their subsidiaries, (3) they are generally located near areas of high life science concentrations with similar demographics and site characteristics, (4) the majority of properties are designed specifically for life science tenants that require infrastructure improvements not generally found in standard properties, and (5) the associated leases are primarily triple-net leases, generally with a fixed rental rate and scheduled annual escalations, that provide for a recovery of close to 100% of operating expenses. Consequently, the Company’s properties qualify for aggregation into one reporting segment.
3. Equity of the Parent Company
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Parent Company issued restricted stock awards to the Company’s employees totaling 321,044 shares of common stock (129,342 shares of common stock were surrendered to the Company and subsequently retired in lieu of cash payments for taxes due on the vesting of restricted stock and 10,910 shares were forfeited during the same period), which are included in the total of common stock outstanding as of the period end (see Note 6).

The Parent Company also maintains a Dividend Reinvestment Program and a Cash Option Purchase Plan (collectively, the “DRIP Plan”) to provide existing stockholders of the Parent Company with an opportunity to invest automatically the cash dividends paid upon shares of the Parent Company’s common stock held by them, as well as permit existing and prospective stockholders to make voluntary cash purchases. Participants may elect to reinvest a portion of, or the full amount of cash dividends paid, whereas optional cash purchases are normally limited to a maximum amount of $10,000. In addition, the Parent Company may elect to establish a discount ranging from 0% to 5% from the market price applicable to newly issued shares of common stock purchased directly from the Parent Company. The Parent Company may change the discount, initially set at 0%, at its discretion, but may not change the discount more frequently than once in any three-month period. Shares purchased under the DRIP Plan shall be, at the Parent Company’s option, purchased from either (1) authorized, but previously unissued shares of common stock, (2) shares of common stock purchased in the open market or privately negotiated transactions, or (3) a combination of both. As of and through March 31, 2011, all shares issued to participants in the DRIP Plan have been acquired through purchases in the open market.
Common Stock, Operating Partnership Units and LTIP Units
As of March 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding 131,239,482 shares of the Parent Company’s common stock and 2,593,538 and 395,531 operating partnership and LTIP units, respectively. A share of the Parent Company’s common stock and the operating partnership and LTIP units have essentially the same economic characteristics as they share equally in the total net income or loss and distributions of the Operating Partnership. The operating partnership and LTIP units are further discussed below in this Note 3.
7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock
As of March 31, 2011, the Parent Company had outstanding 9,200,000 shares of 7.375% Series A cumulative redeemable preferred stock, or Series A preferred stock. Dividends are cumulative on the Series A preferred stock from the date of original issuance in the amount of $1.84375 per share each year, which is equivalent to 7.375% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on the Series A preferred stock are payable quarterly in arrears on or about the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year. Following a change of control, if the Series A preferred stock is not listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Market, holders will be entitled to receive (when and as authorized by the board of directors and declared by the Parent Company) cumulative cash dividends from, but excluding, the first date on which both the change of control and the delisting occurs at an increased rate of 8.375% per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share (equivalent to an annual rate of $2.09375 per share) for as long as the Series A preferred stock is not listed. The Series A preferred stock does not have a stated maturity date and is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption provisions. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Series A preferred stock will rank senior to the Parent Company’s common stock with respect to the payment of distributions and other amounts. The Parent Company is not allowed to redeem the Series A preferred stock before January 18, 2012, except in limited circumstances to preserve its status as a REIT. On or after January 18, 2012, the Parent Company may, at its option, redeem the Series A preferred stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on such Series A preferred stock up to, but excluding the redemption date. Holders of the Series A preferred stock generally have no voting rights except for limited voting rights if the Parent Company fails to pay dividends for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive) and in certain other circumstances. The Series A preferred stock is not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Parent Company.

Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests on the consolidated balance sheets relate primarily to the OP units in the Operating Partnership that are not owned by the Parent Company. In conjunction with the formation of the Company, certain persons and entities contributing interests in properties to the Operating Partnership received operating partnership units. In addition, certain employees of the Operating Partnership received LTIP units in connection with services rendered or to be rendered to the Operating Partnership. Limited partners who have been issued OP units have the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem part or all of their OP units, which right with respect to LTIP units is subject to vesting and the satisfaction of other conditions. The Parent Company may elect to acquire those OP units in exchange for shares of the Parent Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of stock rights, specified extraordinary distributions and similar events, or pay cash based upon the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of the Parent Company’s common stock at the time of redemption. With respect to the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership, noncontrolling interests with the redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common stock at the option of the issuer are further evaluated to determine whether temporary or permanent equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate. Since the OP units comprising the noncontrolling interests contain such a provision, the Company evaluated this guidance, including the requirement to settle in unregistered shares, and determined that the OP units meet the requirements to qualify for presentation as permanent equity.
The Company evaluates individual noncontrolling interests for the ability to continue to recognize the noncontrolling interest as permanent equity in the consolidated balance sheets. Any noncontrolling interest that fails to qualify as permanent equity will be reclassified as temporary equity and adjusted to the greater of (1) the carrying amount, or (2) its redemption value as of the end of the period in which the determination is made.
The redemption value of the OP units not owned by the Parent Company, had such units been redeemed at March 31, 2011, was approximately $54.5 million based on the average closing price of the Parent Company’s common stock of $18.22 per share for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding March 31, 2011.

A charge is recorded each period in the consolidated statements of income for the noncontrolling interests’ proportionate share of the Company’s net income. An additional adjustment is made each period such that the carrying value of the noncontrolling interests equals the greater of (1) the noncontrolling interests’ proportionate share of equity as of the period end, or (2) the redemption value of the noncontrolling interests as of the period end, if such interests are classified as temporary equity. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded an increase to the carrying value of noncontrolling interests of approximately $1.0 million (a corresponding decrease was recorded to additional paid-in capital) due to changes in their aggregate ownership percentage to reflect the noncontrolling interests’ proportionate share of equity.

As of March 31, 2011, the Company had an 87.5% interest in the limited liability company that owns the Ardenwood Venture property. This entity is consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Equity interests in this partnership not owned by the Company are classified as a noncontrolling interest on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2011. Subject to certain conditions, the Company has the right to purchase the other member’s interest or sell its own interest in the Ardenwood Venture limited liability company (“buy-sell option”). The estimated fair-value of this option is not material and the Company believes that it will have adequate resources to settle the option if exercised.
4. Capital of the Operating Partnership
Operating Partnership Units and LTIP Units
As of March 31, 2011, the Operating Partnership had outstanding 133,833,020 operating partnership units and 395,531 LTIP units. An operating partnership unit and an LTIP unit have essentially the same economic characteristics as they share equally in the total net income or loss and distributions of the Operating Partnership. In conjunction with the formation of the Operating Partnership, certain persons and entities contributing interests in properties to the Operating Partnership received operating partnership units. In addition, certain employees of the Operating Partnership have received LTIP units in connection with services rendered or to be rendered to the Operating Partnership. Limited partners who have been issued OP units have the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem part or all of their OP units, which right with respect to LTIP units is subject to vesting and the satisfaction of other conditions. The general partner of the Operating Partnership may elect to acquire OP units upon redemption in exchange for shares of the Parent Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of stock rights, specified extraordinary distributions and similar events, or pay cash based upon the fair-market value of an equivalent number of shares of the Parent Company’s common stock at the time of redemption. The Parent Company owned 97.8% of the partnership interests in the Operating Partnership at March 31, 2011, is the Operating Partnership’s general partner and is responsible for the management of the Operating Partnership’s business. As the general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company effectively controls the ability to issue common stock of the Parent Company upon a limited partner’s notice of redemption. In addition, the general partner of the Operating Partnership has generally acquired OP units upon a limited partner’s notice of redemption in exchange for shares of the Parent Company’s common stock. The redemption provisions of OP units owned by limited partners that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common stock at the option of the issuer are further evaluated in accordance with applicable accounting guidance to determine whether temporary or permanent equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate. The Operating Partnership evaluated this guidance, including the requirement to settle in unregistered shares, and determined that these OP units meet the requirements to qualify for presentation as permanent equity.
LTIP units represent a profits interest in the Operating Partnership for services rendered or to be rendered by the LTIP unitholder in its capacity as a partner, or in anticipation of becoming a partner, in the Operating Partnership. Initially, LTIP units do not have full parity with operating partnership units of the Operating Partnership with respect to liquidating distributions, although LTIP unitholders receive the same quarterly per unit distributions as operating partnership units and may vote the LTIP units from the date of issuance. The LTIP units are subject to vesting requirements, which lapse over a specified period of time (normally three to five years from the date of issuance). In addition, the LTIP units are generally subject to a two-year lock-up period from the date of issuance during which time the LTIP units may not be redeemed or sold by the LTIP unitholder. Upon the occurrence of specified events, LTIP units may over time achieve full parity with operating partnership units of the Operating Partnership for all purposes. Upon achieving full parity, and after the expiration of any vesting and lock-up periods, LTIP units may be redeemed for an equal number of shares of the Parent Company’s common stock or cash, at the Parent Company’s election, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership.
The following table shows the vested ownership interests (excluding unvested LTIP units) in the Operating Partnership:

An adjustment is made each period pursuant to the reallocation provisions of the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement and the applicable accounting guidance, such that the carrying value of the limited partners’ equity equals the limited partners’ proportionate share of total partners’ equity as of the period end. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Operating Partnership recorded an increase to the carrying value of limited partners’ capital of approximately $1.1 million (a corresponding decrease was recorded to general partners’ capital) due to changes in their aggregate ownership percentage to reflect the limited partners’ proportionate share of equity.
The redemption value of the OP units owned by the limited partners, had such units been redeemed at March 31, 2011, was approximately $54.5 million based on the average closing price of the Parent Company’s common stock of $18.22 per share for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding March 31, 2011.
7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units
Pursuant to the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement, the Operating Partnership’s 7.375% Series A cumulative redeemable preferred units, or Series A preferred units were issued to the Parent Company in exchange for contributed proceeds of approximately $222.4 million following the Parent Company’s issuance of Series A preferred stock. The Operating Partnership’s Series A preferred units are only redeemable for cash equal to a redemption price of $25.00 per unit, plus all accrued and unpaid distributions on such Series A preferred units up to, but excluding the redemption date, if and when shares of the Series A preferred stock are redeemed by the Parent Company, which may not occur before January 18, 2012, except in limited circumstances where necessary to preserve the Parent Company’s status as a REIT. On or after January 18, 2012, the Parent Company may, at its option, redeem the Series A preferred stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid distributions on such Series A preferred stock up to, but excluding the redemption date.
As of March 31, 2011, the Operating Partnership had outstanding 9,200,000 Series A preferred units. Distributions are cumulative on the Series A preferred units from the date of original issuance in the amount of $1.84375 per unit each year, which is equivalent to 7.375% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per unit. Distributions on the Series A preferred units are payable quarterly in arrears on or about the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year. Following a change of control of the Parent Company, if the Series A preferred stock of the Parent Company is not listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Market, holders of the Series A preferred stock would be entitled to receive (when and as authorized by the board of directors of the Parent Company and declared by the Parent Company), cumulative cash dividends from, but excluding, the first date on which both the change of control and the delisting occurs at an increased rate of 8.375% per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share (equivalent to an annual rate of $2.09375 per share) for as long as the Series A preferred stock is not listed. The Series A preferred stock does not have a stated maturity date and is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption provisions. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Series A preferred units will rank senior to the OP units with respect to the payment of distributions and other amounts. Holders of the Series A preferred stock generally have no voting rights except for limited voting rights if the Parent Company fails to pay dividends for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive) and in certain other circumstances. The Series A preferred stock is not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Parent Company.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries are reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. If noncontrolling interests are determined to be redeemable, they are carried at the greater of carrying value or their redemption value as of the balance sheet date and reported as temporary equity. Consolidated net income is reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest.
Noncontrolling interests on the consolidated balance sheets relate primarily to ownership interests in consolidated limited liability companies or partnerships that are not owned by the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership evaluates individual noncontrolling interests for the ability to continue to recognize the noncontrolling interest as permanent equity in the consolidated balance sheets. Any noncontrolling interest that fails to qualify as permanent equity will be reclassified as temporary equity and adjusted to the greater of (1) the carrying amount, or (2) its redemption value as of the end of the period in which the determination is made.

Mortgage Notes Payable, net
The Operating Partnership’s $350.0 million mortgage loan, which is secured by the Company’s Center for Life Science | Boston property in Boston, Massachusetts, includes a financial covenant relating to a minimum amount of net worth. Management believes that it was in compliance with this covenant as of March 31, 2011. Other than the financial covenant related to the Center for Life Science | Boston mortgage, no other financial covenants are required on the remaining mortgage notes payable.
Premiums were recorded upon assumption of the mortgage notes payable at the time of the related property acquisition to account for above-market interest rates. Amortization of these premiums is recorded as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining term of the respective note using a method that approximates the effective-interest method.
The Operating Partnership has the ability and intends to repay any principal and accrued interest due in 2011 through the use of cash from operations or borrowings from its unsecured line of credit.
Unsecured Line of Credit
The Operating Partnership’s unsecured line of credit with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) and other lenders has a borrowing capacity of $720.0 million and a maturity date of August 1, 2011. The unsecured line of credit bears interest at a floating rate equal to, at the Operating Partnership’s option, either (1) reserve adjusted LIBOR plus a spread which ranges from 100 to 155 basis points, depending on the Company’s leverage, or (2) the higher of (a) the prime rate then in effect plus a spread which ranges from 0 to 25 basis points, or (b) the federal funds rate then in effect plus a spread which ranges from 50 to 75 basis points, in each case, depending on the Company’s leverage. Subject to the administrative agent’s reasonable discretion, the Operating Partnership may increase the amount of the unsecured line of credit to $1.0 billion upon satisfying certain conditions. In addition, the Operating Partnership, at its sole discretion, may extend the maturity date of the unsecured line of credit to August 1, 2012 after satisfying certain conditions under its control and paying an extension fee based on the then current facility commitment. At maturity, the Operating Partnership may refinance the unsecured line of credit, depending on market conditions and the availability of credit, or it may execute the extension option. The Operating Partnership has deferred the loan costs associated with the subsequent amendments to the unsecured line of credit, which are being amortized to expense with the unamortized loan costs from the original debt facility over the remaining term. At March 31, 2011, the Operating Partnership had $51.0 million in outstanding borrowings on its unsecured line of credit, with a weighted-average interest rate of 1.4% (excluding the effect of interest rate swaps). At March 31, 2011, the Operating Partnership had additional borrowing capacity under the unsecured line of credit of up to approximately $661.2 million (net of outstanding letters of credit issued by the Operating Partnership and drawable on the unsecured line of credit of approximately $7.8 million).
The terms of the credit agreement for the unsecured line of credit includes certain restrictions and covenants, which limit, among other things, the payment of dividends and the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens. The terms also require compliance with financial ratios relating to the minimum amounts of the Company’s net worth, fixed charge coverage, unsecured debt service coverage, the maximum amount of secured, and secured recourse indebtedness, leverage ratio and certain investment limitations. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that, except to enable the Parent Company to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Parent Company will not make distributions with respect to common stock or other equity interests in an aggregate amount for the preceding four fiscal quarters in excess of 95% of funds from operations, as defined, for such period, subject to other adjustments. Management believes that it was in compliance with the covenants as of March 31, 2011.
Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2026, net
On September 25, 2006, the Operating Partnership issued $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of its Notes due 2026. The Notes due 2026 are general senior unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership and rank equally in right of payment with all other senior unsecured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership. Interest at a rate of 4.50% per annum is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2007, until the stated maturity date of October 1, 2026. The terms of the Notes due 2026 are governed by an indenture, dated September 25, 2006, among the Operating Partnership, as issuer, the Parent Company, as guarantor, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Notes due 2026 contain an exchange settlement feature, which provides that the Notes due 2026 may, on or after September 1, 2026 or under certain other circumstances, be exchangeable for cash (up to the principal amount of the Notes due 2026) and, with respect to excess exchange value, into, at the Operating Partnership’s option, cash, shares of the Parent Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock at the then applicable exchange rate. The initial exchange rate was 26.4634 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes due 2026, representing an exchange price of approximately $37.79 per share. If certain designated events occur on or prior to October 6, 2011 and a holder elects to exchange Notes due 2026 in connection with any such transaction, the Operating Partnership will increase the exchange rate

Table of Contents

by a number of additional shares of common stock based on the date the transaction becomes effective and the price paid per share of common stock in the transaction, as set forth in the indenture governing the Notes due 2026. The exchange rate may also be adjusted under certain other circumstances, including the payment of quarterly cash dividends by the Parent Company in excess of $0.29 per share of its common stock. As a result of past increases in the Parent Company’s quarterly cash dividend, the exchange rate is currently 26.8135 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes due 2026 or an exchange price of approximately $37.29 per share of the Parent Company’s common stock. The Operating Partnership may redeem the Notes due 2026, in whole or in part, at any time to preserve the Parent Company’s status as a REIT or at any time on or after October 6, 2011 for cash at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The holders of the Notes due 2026 have the right to require the Operating Partnership to repurchase the Notes due 2026, in whole or in part, for cash on each of October 1, 2011, October 1, 2016 and October 1, 2021, or upon the occurrence of a designated event, in each case for a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes due 2026 plus accrued and unpaid interest. The terms of the indenture for the Notes due 2026 do not require compliance with any financial covenants.
As the Operating Partnership may settle the Notes due 2026 in cash (or other assets) on conversion, it separately accounts for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the Operating Partnership’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The equity component of the convertible debt is included in the additional paid-in capital section of stockholders’ equity and the value of the equity component is treated as original issue discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component of the debt security. The resulting debt discount is accreted as additional interest expense over the non-cancelable term of the instrument.
As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the carrying value of the equity component recognized was approximately $14.0 million.
Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2030
On January 11, 2010, the Operating Partnership issued $180.0 million aggregate principal amount of its Notes due 2030. The Notes due 2030 are general senior unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership and rank equally in right of payment with all other senior unsecured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership. Interest at a rate of 3.75% per annum is payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2010, until the stated maturity date of January 15, 2030. The terms of the Notes due 2030 are governed by an indenture, dated January 11, 2010, among the Operating Partnership, as issuer, the Parent Company, as guarantor, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Notes due 2030 contain an exchange settlement feature, which provides that the Notes due 2030 may, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day preceding the maturity date, be exchangeable for shares of the Parent Company’s common stock at the then applicable exchange rate. As the exchange feature for the Notes due 2030 must be settled in the common stock of the Parent Company, accounting guidance applicable to convertible debt instruments that permit the issuer to settle all or a portion of the exchange feature in cash upon conversion does not apply. The initial exchange rate was 55.0782 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes due 2030, representing an exchange price of approximately $18.16 per share of the Parent Company’s common stock. If certain designated events occur on or prior to January 15, 2015 and a holder elects to exchange Notes due 2030 in connection with any such transaction, the Company will increase the exchange rate by a number of additional shares of the Parent Company’s common stock based on the date the transaction becomes effective and the price paid per share of the Parent Company’s common stock in the transaction, as set forth in the indenture governing the Notes due 2030. The exchange rate may also be adjusted under certain other circumstances, including the payment of quarterly cash dividends by the Parent Company in excess of $0.14 per share of its common stock.
The Operating Partnership may redeem the Notes due 2030, in whole or in part, at any time to preserve the Parent Company’s status as a REIT or at any time on or after January 21, 2015 for cash at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The holders of the Notes due 2030 have the right to require the Operating Partnership to repurchase the Notes due 2030, in whole or in part, for cash on each of January 15, 2015, January 15, 2020 and January 15, 2025, or upon the occurrence of a designated event, in each case for a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes due 2030 plus accrued and unpaid interest. The terms of the indenture for the Notes due 2030 do not require compliance with any financial covenants.

Unsecured Senior Notes due 2016, net
On March 30, 2011, the Operating Partnership issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its Notes due 2016. The purchase price paid by the underwriters was 99.365% of the principal amount and the Notes due 2016 have been recorded on the consolidated balance sheet net of the discount. The Notes due 2016 are senior unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership and rank equally in right of payment with all other senior unsecured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership. However, the Notes due 2016 are effectively subordinated to the Operating Partnership’s existing and future mortgages and other secured indebtedness (to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness) and to all existing and future preferred equity and liabilities, whether secured or unsecured, of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, including guarantees provided by the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries under the Operating Partnership’s unsecured line of credit. Interest at a rate of 3.85% per year is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2011, until the stated maturity date of April 15, 2016. The terms of the Notes due 2016 are governed by a base indenture and supplemental indenture, each dated March 30, 2011, among the Operating Partnership, as issuer, the Parent Company, as guarantor, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.
The Operating Partnership may redeem the Notes due 2016, in whole or in part, at any time for cash at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes due 2016 being redeemed; or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at the adjusted treasury rate plus 30 basis points, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest.
The terms of the indenture for the Notes due 2016 require compliance with various financial covenants, including limits on the amount of total leverage and secured debt maintained by the Operating Partnership and which require the Operating Partnership to maintain minimum levels of debt service coverage. Management believes that it was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2011.
Unsecured Senior Notes due 2020, net
On April 29, 2010, the Operating Partnership issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of its Notes due 2020. The purchase price paid by the initial purchasers was 98.977% of the principal amount and the Notes due 2020 have been recorded on the consolidated balance sheet net of the discount. The Notes due 2020 are senior unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership and rank equally in right of payment with all other senior unsecured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership. However, the Notes due 2020 are effectively subordinated to the Operating Partnership’s existing and future mortgages and other secured indebtedness (to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness) and to all existing and future preferred equity and liabilities, whether secured or unsecured, of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, including guarantees provided by the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries under the Operating Partnership’s unsecured line of credit. Interest at a rate of 6.125% per year is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2010, until the stated maturity date of April 15, 2020. The terms of the Notes due 2020 are governed by an indenture, dated April 29, 2010, among the Operating Partnership, as issuer, the Parent Company, as guarantor, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.
The Operating Partnership may redeem the Notes due 2020, in whole or in part, at any time for cash at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes due 2020 being redeemed; or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at the adjusted treasury rate plus 40 basis points, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest.
The terms of the indenture for the Notes due 2020 require compliance with various financial covenants, including limits on the amount of total leverage and secured debt maintained by the Operating Partnership and which require the Operating Partnership to maintain minimum levels of debt service coverage. Management believes that it was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2011.
On January 12, 2011, in accordance with the registration rights agreement entered into among the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership and the initial purchasers of the Notes due 2020, the Operating Partnership completed its exchange offer to exchange all of the outstanding unregistered Notes due 2020 for an equal principal amount of a new issue of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2020 pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A total of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the original Notes due 2020, representing 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the original Notes due 2020, was tendered and received prior to the expiration of the exchange offer. The terms of the Notes due 2020 are substantially identical to the original Notes due 2020, except for transfer restrictions and registration rights relating to the original Notes due 2020.

6. Earnings Per Share of the Parent Company
Instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are considered participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, are considered in computing basic earnings per share under the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation method for calculating earnings per share when a company’s capital structure includes either two or more classes of common stock or common stock and participating securities. Basic earnings per share under the two-class method is calculated based on dividends declared on common shares and other participating securities (“distributed earnings”) and the rights of participating securities in any undistributed earnings, which represents net income remaining after deduction of dividends accruing during the period. The undistributed earnings are allocated to all outstanding common shares and participating securities based on the relative percentage of each security to the total number of outstanding participating securities. Basic earnings per share represents the summation of the distributed and undistributed earnings per share class divided by the total number of shares.

Table of Contents

Through March 31, 2011 all of the Company’s participating securities (including the OP units) received dividends/distributions at an equal dividend/distribution rate per share/unit. As a result, the portion of net income allocable to the weighted-average restricted stock outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 has been deducted from net income available to common stockholders to calculate basic earnings per share. The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2011 includes the outstanding OP units (both vested and unvested) in the weighted-average shares, and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership has been added back to net income available to common stockholders. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the restricted stock was anti-dilutive to the calculation of diluted earnings per share and was therefore excluded. As a result, diluted earnings per share was calculated based upon net income available to common stockholders less net income allocable to unvested restricted stock and distributions in excess of earnings attributable to unvested restricted stock. The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2010 includes the outstanding OP units (both vested and unvested) and restricted stock in the weighted-average shares, and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership has been added to net income available to common stockholders in calculating diluted earnings per share. No shares were issuable upon settlement of the excess exchange value pursuant to the exchange settlement feature of the Notes due 2026 (originally issued in 2006 — see Note 5) as the common stock price at March 31, 2011 and 2010 did not exceed the exchange price then in effect. In addition, shares issuable upon settlement of the exchange feature of the Notes due 2030 (originally issued in 2010 — see Note 5) were anti-dilutive and were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share based on the “if converted” method for the three months ended March 31, 2011. No other shares were considered anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
Computations of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except share data) were as follows:

7. Earnings Per Unit of the Operating Partnership
Instruments granted in equity-based payment transactions are considered participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, are considered in computing basic earnings per unit under the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation method for calculating earnings per unit when a company’s capital structure includes either two or more classes of common equity or common equity and participating securities. Basic earnings per unit under the two-class method is calculated based on distributions declared on the OP units and other participating securities (“distributed earnings”) and the rights of participating securities in any undistributed earnings, which represents net income remaining after deduction of distributions accruing during the period. The undistributed earnings are allocated to all outstanding OP units and participating securities based on the relative percentage of each security to the total number of outstanding participating securities. Basic earnings per unit represents the summation of the distributed and undistributed earnings per unit class divided by the total number of OP units.

Table of Contents

Through March 31, 2011 all of the Operating Partnership’s participating securities received distributions at an equal distribution rate per unit. As a result, the portion of net income allocable to the weighted-average unvested OP units outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 has been deducted from net income available to unitholders to calculate basic earnings per unit. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 the unvested OP units were anti-dilutive to the calculation of earnings per unit and were therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per unit, and diluted earnings per unit is calculated based upon net income attributable to unitholders. The calculation of diluted earnings per unit for the three months ended March 31, 2010 includes unvested OP units in the weighted-average shares, and diluted earnings per unit is calculated based upon net income available to the unitholders. No shares of common stock of the Parent Company were contingently issuable upon settlement of the excess exchange value pursuant to the exchange settlement feature of the Notes due 2026 (originally issued in 2006 — see Note 5) as the common stock price at March 31, 2011 and 2010 did not exceed the exchange price then in effect. In addition, units issuable upon settlement of the exchange feature of the Notes due 2030 (originally issued in 2010 — see Note 5) were anti-dilutive and were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per unit based on the “if converted” method for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

8. Investment in Unconsolidated Partnerships
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include investments in two limited liability companies with Prudential Real Estate Investors (“PREI”), which were formed in the second quarter of 2007, and in 10165 McKellar Court, L.P. (“McKellar Court”), a limited partnership with Quidel Corporation, the tenant which occupies the McKellar Court property. One of the PREI limited liability companies, PREI II LLC, is a VIE; however, the Company is not the primary beneficiary. PREI will bear the majority of any losses. The other PREI limited liability company, PREI I LLC, does not qualify as a VIE. In addition, consolidation is not required as the Company does not control the limited liability companies. The McKellar Court partnership is a VIE; however, the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The limited partner at McKellar Court is the only tenant in the property and will bear the majority of any losses. As it does not control the limited liability companies or the partnership, the Company accounts for them under the equity method of accounting. Significant accounting policies used by the unconsolidated partnerships that own these properties are similar to those used by the Company. General information on the PREI limited liability companies and the McKellar Court partnership (each referred to in this footnote individually as a “partnership” and collectively as the “partnerships”) as of March 31, 2011 was as follows:
                         
        Company’s     Company’s      
        Ownership     Economic      
Name   Partner   Interest     Interest     Date Acquired
PREI I LLC(1)
  PREI     20 %     20 %   April 4, 2007
PREI II LLC(2)
  PREI     20 %     20 %   April 4, 2007
McKellar Court(3)
  Quidel Corporation     22 %     22 %(4)   September 30, 2004
 
     
(1)  
PREI I LLC owns a portfolio of properties in Cambridge, Massachusetts comprised of a stabilized laboratory/office building totaling 184,445 square feet located at 320 Bent Street, a partially leased laboratory/office building totaling 420,000 square feet located at 301 Binney Street, a 37-unit apartment building, an operating garage facility on Rogers Street with 503 spaces, an operating below grade garage facility at Kendall Square with approximately 1,400 spaces, and a building at 650 East Kendall Street that can support up to 280,000 rentable square feet of laboratory and office space. The 650 East Kendall Street site also includes a below grade parking facility.
 
   
Each of the PREI operating agreements includes a put/call option whereby either member can cause the limited liability company to sell certain properties in which it holds leasehold interests to the Company at any time after the fifth anniversary and before the seventh anniversary of the acquisition date. However, the put/call option may be terminated prior to exercise under certain circumstances. The put/call option purchase price is based on a predetermined return on capital invested by PREI. If the put/call option is exercised, the Company believes that it would have adequate resources to fund the purchase price.
 
   
The PREI joint ventures’ $203.3 million secured acquisition and interim loan facility with KeyBank bears interest at a rate equal to, at the option of the PREI joint ventures, either (1) reserve adjusted LIBOR plus 350 basis points or (2) the higher of (a) the prime rate then in effect, (b) the federal funds rate then in effect plus 50 basis points or (c) one-month LIBOR plus 450 basis points, and requires interest only monthly payments until the maturity date, February 10, 2012. At maturity, the PREI joint ventures may refinance the secured acquisition and interim loan facility, depending on market conditions and the availability of credit, or they may repay the principal balance. Pursuant to the loan facility, the Company executed guaranty agreements in which it guaranteed the full completion of the construction and any tenant improvements at the 301 Binney Street property if PREI I LLC was unable or unwilling to complete the project. On March 11, 2009, the PREI joint ventures jointly entered into an interest rate cap agreement, which was intended to have the effect of hedging variability in future interest payments on the $203.3 million secured acquisition and interim loan facility above a strike rate of 2.5% (excluding the applicable credit spread) through February 10, 2011. At March 31, 2011, there were $203.3 million in outstanding borrowings on the secured acquisition and interim loan facility, with a contractual interest rate of 3.8% (including the applicable credit spread).
 
   
On February 13, 2008, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company’s joint venture with PREI I LLC entered into a secured construction loan facility with certain lenders to provide borrowings of up to approximately $245.0 million in connection with the construction of 650 East Kendall Street, a life sciences building located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. On August 3, 2010, the maturity date of the secured construction loan facility was extended from August 13, 2010 to February 13, 2011. On January 11, 2011, the maturity date was further extended from February 13, 2011 to August 13, 2011. In accordance with the loan agreement, Prudential Insurance Corporation of America has guaranteed repayment of the construction loan. At maturity, the wholly owned subsidiary may refinance the loan, depending on market conditions and the availability of credit, or it may repay the principal balance of the construction loan. At March 31, 2011, there were $203.5 million in outstanding borrowings on the secured construction loan facility, with a contractual interest rate of 1.8% (including the applicable credit spread).
 
(2)  
As part of a larger transaction which included the acquisition by PREI I LLC of the Cambridge portfolio described above, PREI II LLC acquired a portfolio of properties in April 2007. It disposed of its acquired properties in 2007 at no material gain or loss. The total sale price included approximately $4.0 million contingently payable in June 2012 pursuant to a put/call option, exercisable on the earlier of the extinguishment or expiration of development restrictions placed on a portion of the development rights included in the disposition. The Company’s remaining investment in PREI II LLC (maximum exposure to losses) was approximately $814,000 at March 31, 2011.
 
(3)  
The McKellar Court partnership holds a property comprised of a two-story laboratory/office building totaling 72,863 rentable square feet located in San Diego, California. The Company’s investment in the McKellar Court partnership (maximum exposure to losses) was approximately $12.5 million at March 31, 2011. In December 2009, the Operating Partnership provided funding in the form of a promissory note to the McKellar Court partnership in the amount of $10.3 million, which matures at the earlier of (a) January 1, 2020, or (b) the day that the limited partner exercises an option to purchase the Operating Partnership’s ownership interest. Loan proceeds were utilized to repay a mortgage with a third party. Interest-only payments on the promissory note are due monthly at a fixed rate of 8.15% (the rate may adjust higher after January 1, 2015), with the principal balance outstanding due at maturity.
 
(4)  
The Company’s economic interest in the McKellar Court partnership entitles it to 75% of the extraordinary cash flows after repayment of the partners’ capital contributions and 22% of the operating cash flows.

The Company acts as the operating member or partner, as applicable, and day-to-day manager for the partnerships. The Company is entitled to receive fees for providing construction and development services (as applicable) and management services to the PREI joint ventures. The Company earned approximately $272,000 and $527,000 in fees for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for services provided to the PREI joint ventures, which are reflected in tenant recoveries and other income in the consolidated statements of income.

9. Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments
As of March 31, 2011, the Company had two interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $150.0 million under which at each monthly settlement date the Company either (1) receives the difference between a fixed interest rate (the “Strike Rate”) and one-month LIBOR if the Strike Rate is less than LIBOR or (2) pays such difference if the Strike Rate is greater than LIBOR. The interest rate swaps hedge the Company’s exposure to the variability on expected cash flows attributable to changes in interest rates on the first interest payments, due on the date that is on or closest after each swap’s settlement date, associated with the amount of LIBOR-based debt equal to each swap’s notional amount. These interest rate swaps, with a notional amount of $150.0 million (interest rate of 5.8%, including the applicable credit spread), are currently intended to hedge interest payments associated with the Company’s unsecured line of credit. No initial investment was made to enter into the interest rate swap agreements.
As of March 31, 2011, the Company had deferred interest costs of approximately $54.4 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to forward starting swaps, which were settled with the corresponding counterparties in March and April 2009 for approximately $86.5 million. The forward starting swaps were entered into to mitigate the Company’s exposure to the variability in expected future cash flows attributable to changes in future interest rates associated with a forecasted issuance of fixed-rate debt, with interest payments for a minimum of ten years. In June 2009 the Company closed on $368.0 million in fixed-rate mortgage loans secured by its 9865 Towne Centre Drive and Center for Life Science | Boston properties (see Note 5). The deferred interest costs will be amortized as additional interest expense over a remaining period of approximately eight years.
The following is a summary of the terms of the interest rate swaps and the forward starting swaps and their fair-values, which are included in derivative instruments on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

A stock purchase warrant was received in connection with an early lease termination in September 2009 and was recorded as a derivative instrument. Changes in the fair-value of the stock purchase warrant are included in earnings in the period in which they occur.
For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair-value of the derivative is initially reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair-value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.
The Company’s use of proceeds from its March 2011 unsecured debt offering to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness on its unsecured line of credit caused the amount of variable-rate indebtedness to fall below the combined notional value of the outstanding interest rate swaps on March 30, 2011, causing the Company to be overhedged. As a result, the Company re-performed tests to assess the effectiveness of its interest rate swaps. Although the interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $150.0 million passed the assessment tests at March 31, 2011 and the $115.0 million swap continued to qualify for hedge accounting, the $35.0 million swap no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. From the date that hedge accounting was discontinued on the $35.0 million swap, changes in the fair-value associated with this interest rate swap were recorded directly to earnings, resulting in the recognition of a gain of approximately $31,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, which is included as a component of loss on derivative instruments. The Company accelerated the reclassification of amounts deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings related to the hedged forecasted transactions that became probable of not occurring during the period in which the Company was overhedged. This resulted in a cumulative charge to earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2011 of approximately $1.0 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded a total loss on derivative instruments of $1.0 million, primarily related to the reduction in the amount of the variable-rate indebtedness relating to the remaining $150.0 million interest rate swaps (see above), hedge ineffectiveness on cash flow hedges due to mismatches in maturity dates and interest rate reset dates between the interest rate swaps and corresponding debt and changes in the fair-value of other derivative instruments. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company recorded a total gain on derivative instruments of $150,000 primarily related to changes in the fair-value of a stock purchase warrant held by the Company, which are recorded directly to the consolidated income statement as they occur.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to derivatives will be reclassified to earnings during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The change in net unrealized (loss)/gain on derivative instruments includes reclassifications of net unrealized losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss as (1) an increase to interest expense of $3.4 million and $5.9 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and (2) a loss on derivative instruments of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and a gain on derivative instruments of $150,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $8.3 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss as an increase to interest expense. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, approximately $106,000 and $288,000, respectively, of settlement payments on interest rate swaps have been deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss and will be amortized over the useful lives of the related development or redevelopment projects.

10. Fair-Value of Financial Instruments
The Company is required to disclose fair-value information about all financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair-value. The Company’s disclosures of estimated fair-value of financial instruments at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair-value. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair-value amounts.
The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, security deposits, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair-value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company utilizes quoted market prices to estimate the fair-value of its fixed-rate and variable-rate debt, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, the Company calculates the fair-value of its mortgage notes payable and other fixed-rate debt based on a currently available market rate assuming the loans are outstanding through maturity and considering the collateral. In determining the current market rate for fixed-rate debt, a market credit spread is added to the quoted yields on federal government treasury securities with similar terms to debt. In determining the current market rate for variable-rate debt, a market credit spread is added to the current effective interest rate. The carrying value of interest rate swaps, as well as the underlying hedged liability, if applicable, are reflected at their fair-value (see the Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair-Value section under Note 2). The Company relies on quotations from a third party to determine these fair-values.
At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the aggregate fair-value and the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments were as follows (in thousands):

ITEM 2.  
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As used herein, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” refer to BioMed Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and any of our subsidiaries, including BioMed Realty, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership of which BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. is the parent company and general partner, which may be referred to herein as the “operating partnership.”
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. We make statements in this report that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In particular, statements pertaining to our capital resources, portfolio performance and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data or methods which may be incorrect or imprecise, and we may not be able to realize them. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates” or “anticipates” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: adverse economic or real estate developments in the life science industry or in our target markets, including the inability of our tenants to obtain funding to run their businesses; our dependence upon significant tenants; our failure to obtain necessary outside financing on favorable terms or at all, including the continued availability of our unsecured line of credit; general economic conditions, including downturns in the national and local economies; volatility in financial and securities markets; defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants; our inability to compete effectively; increased interest rates and operating costs; our inability to successfully complete real estate acquisitions, developments and dispositions; risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction; our failure to successfully operate acquired properties and operations; reductions in asset valuations and related impairment charges; the loss of services of one or more of our executive officers; our failure to qualify or continue to qualify as a REIT; failure to maintain our investment grade credit ratings with the rating agencies; government approvals, actions and initiatives, including the need for compliance with environmental requirements; the effects of earthquakes and other natural disasters; lack of or insufficient amounts of insurance; and changes in real estate, zoning and other laws and increases in real property tax rates. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
The risks included here are not exhaustive, and additional factors could adversely affect our business and financial performance, including factors and risks included in other sections of this report. In addition, we discussed a number of material risks in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Those risks continue to be relevant to our performance and financial condition. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on our company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.
Overview
We operate as a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT focused on acquiring, developing, owning, leasing and managing laboratory and office space for the life science industry. Our tenants primarily include biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, scientific research institutions, government agencies and other entities involved in the life science industry. Our properties are generally located in markets with well-established reputations as centers for scientific research, including Boston, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New York/New Jersey.
At March 31, 2011, we owned or had interests in a portfolio of 85 properties, representing 147 buildings with an aggregate of approximately 12.2 million rentable square feet.

Factors Which May Influence Future Operations
Our long-term corporate strategy is to continue to focus on acquiring, developing, owning, leasing and managing laboratory and office space for the life science industry. As of March 31, 2011, our current operating portfolio (which includes both the consolidated portfolio and unconsolidated partnership portfolio) was 85.9% leased to 150 tenants. As of December 31, 2010, our current operating portfolio was 84.4% leased to 154 tenants. The increase in the overall leased percentage was due to an increase in the leased square footage during the period of approximately 184,000 square feet within the current operating portfolio.
Leases representing approximately 2.9% of our leased square footage expire during 2011 and leases representing approximately 5.1% of our leased square footage expire during 2012. Our leasing strategy for 2011 focuses on leasing currently vacant space, negotiating renewals for leases scheduled to expire during the year, and identifying new tenants or existing tenants seeking additional space to occupy the spaces for which we are unable to negotiate such renewals. We may proceed with additional new developments and acquisitions, as real estate and capital market conditions permit.
As a direct result of the recent economic recession, we believe that the fair-values of some of our properties may have declined below their respective carrying values. However, to the extent that a property has a substantial remaining estimated useful life and management does not believe that the property will be disposed of prior to the end of its useful life, it would be unusual for undiscounted cash flows to be insufficient to recover the property’s carrying value. We presently have the ability and intent to continue to own and operate our existing portfolio of properties and expected undiscounted future cash flows from the operation of the properties are expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying value of each property. Accordingly, we do not believe that the carrying value of any of our properties is impaired. If our ability and/or our intent with regard to the operation of our properties otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized to reduce the property to the lower of the carrying amount or fair-value less costs to sell, and such loss could be material.
A discussion of additional factors which may influence future operations can be found below under Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Rental Revenues. Rental revenues increased $9.6 million to $80.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $70.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to properties acquired in 2010, and the commencement of leases. Same property rental revenues decreased $1.7 million, or 2.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in same property rental revenues was primarily a result of decreases in lease rates related to lease extensions at certain properties (which had the effect of decreasing rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis), lease expirations, and the full amortization of below-market intangible assets in 2010, partially offset by the commencement of new leases in 2011 and 2010, and increases in lease rates related to Consumer Price Index adjustments and lease extensions (increasing rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis).
Tenant Recoveries. Revenues from tenant reimbursements increased $3.8 million to $24.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $20.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to properties acquired in 2010. Same property tenant recoveries increased $774,000, or 3.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 primarily as a result of the commencement of new leases, and higher rental operations expenses.
The percentage of recoverable expenses recovered at our properties increased to 78.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 78.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to properties acquired in 2010 and the commencement of new leases.
Other Income. Other income was $747,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily comprised consideration received related to early lease terminations and development fees earned from our PREI joint ventures. Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily comprised realized gains from the sale of equity investments in the amount of $865,000 and development fees earned from our PREI joint ventures. Termination payments received for terminated leases for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 aggregated $729,000 and $78,000, respectively.

Rental Operations Expense. Rental operations expense increased $2.6 million to $20.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $17.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to properties acquired in 2010. Same property rental operations expense increased $1.1 million, or 6.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 2010 primarily due to the commencement of new leases.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we recorded bad debt expense of $324,000 and $115,000, respectively.
Real Estate Tax Expense. Real estate tax expense increased $2.0 million to $10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to properties acquired in 2010. Same property real estate tax expense increased $194,000, or 2.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 2010.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $4.9 million to $33.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $28.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to properties acquired in 2010, partially offset by an adjustment for a cumulative understatement of depreciation expense related to an operating property of approximately $1.0 million that was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and that we determined was not material to our previously issued consolidated financial statements.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $1.1 million to $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in aggregate compensation costs due to higher headcount as compared to the prior year.
Acquisition Related Expenses. Acquisition related expenses increased to $320,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $150,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in potential acquisition activities in 2011 as compared to the prior year.
Equity in Net Loss of Unconsolidated Partnerships. Equity in net loss of unconsolidated partnerships increased $371,000 to $648,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $277,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increased loss primarily reflects depreciation commencing and ceasing of capitalizing interest on a vacant property that was under development in 2010 being placed into service.
Interest Expense. Interest cost incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2011 totaled $22.8 million compared to $22.9 million for three months ended March 31, 2010. Total interest cost incurred decreased primarily as a result of decreases in the average interest rate on our outstanding borrowings, partially offset by an increase in total debt outstanding. Interest expense for both the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $21.3 million related to the decrease in interest cost incurred offset by a decrease in capitalized interest. For a detail of interest expense see Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere herein.
(Loss)/Gain on Derivative Instruments. The loss on derivative instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily related to approximately $1.0 million of other comprehensive loss being reclassified to the consolidated income statement due to mismatches in forecasted transactions on interest rate swaps. The gain on derivative instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily related to changes in the fair-value of a stock purchase warrant, which are recorded directly to the consolidated income statement as they occur.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we voluntarily prepaid in full the outstanding mortgage notes totaling approximately $25.5 million pertaining to the Road to the Cure and the 10255 Science Center Drive properties, prior to their maturity date. The prepayments resulted in the recognition of a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $43,000 (representing a prepayment penalty and the write-off of deferred loan fees partially offset by the write off of unamortized debt premium). During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we repurchased $6.3 million face value of our Notes due 2026 at par. The repurchase resulted in the recognition of a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $254,000 (representing the write-off of deferred loan fees and unamortized debt discount) and the write-off of approximately $567,000 of deferred loan fees related to the prepayment of $100.0 million of the outstanding borrowings on our secured term loan.
Noncontrolling Interests. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased $14,000 to $107,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $121,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in noncontrolling interests was due to a reduction in the percentage of noncontrolling interests due to the redemption of certain OP units for shares of our common stock and our common stock offerings in April 2010 and September 2010.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $13.7 million to $41.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $27.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to cash flow generated by acquisitions and cash rent starts on new leases.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $27.7 million to $42.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $70.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease reflects the absence of property acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $60.4 million to net cash used in financing activities of $747,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $59.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease primarily reflects the absence of property acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The proceeds from the issuance of our Notes due 2016 in March 2011 were primarily used to repay balances due under our unsecured line of credit and mortgages payable.
Funds from Operations
We present funds from operations, or FFO, available to common shares and OP units because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002). As defined by NAREIT, FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of loan origination costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our computation may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Further, FFO does not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.
In this “Liquidity and Capital Resources of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.” section, the term the “Company” refers only to BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. on an unconsolidated basis, and excludes the operating partnership and all other subsidiaries. For further discussion of the liquidity and capital resources of the Company on a consolidated basis, see the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources of BioMed Realty, L.P.” below.
The Company’s business is operated primarily through the operating partnership. The Company issues public equity from time to time, but does not otherwise generate any capital itself or conduct any business itself, other than incurring certain expenses in operating as a public company which are fully reimbursed by the operating partnership. The Company itself does not hold any indebtedness, and its only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the operating partnership. The Company’s principal funding requirement is the payment of dividends on its common and preferred shares. The Company’s principal source of funding for its dividend payments is distributions it receives from the operating partnership.
As of March 31, 2011, the Company owned an approximate 97.8% partnership interest and other limited partners, including some of our directors, executive officers and their affiliates, owned the remaining 2.2% partnership interest (including LTIP units) in the operating partnership. As the sole general partner of the operating partnership, BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for the operating partnership’s day-to-day management and control.
The liquidity of the Company is dependent on the operating partnership’s ability to make sufficient distributions to the Company. The primary cash requirement of the Company is its payment of dividends to its stockholders. The Company also guarantees some of the operating partnership’s debt, as discussed further in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein. If the operating partnership fails to fulfill certain of its debt requirements, which trigger the Company’s guarantee obligations, then the Company will be required to fulfill its cash payment commitments under such guarantees. However, the Company’s only significant asset is its investment in the operating partnership.

We believe the operating partnership’s sources of working capital, specifically its cash flow from operations, and borrowings available under its unsecured line of credit, are adequate for it to make its distribution payments to the Company and, in turn, for the Company to make its dividend payments to its stockholders. However, we cannot assure you that the operating partnership’s sources of capital will continue to be available at all or in amounts sufficient to meet its needs, including its ability to make distribution payments to the Company. The unavailability of capital could adversely affect the operating partnership’s ability to pay its distributions to the Company, which would in turn, adversely affect the Company’s ability to pay cash dividends to its stockholders.
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for future dividends expected to be paid to the Company’s stockholders, operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our properties, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, general and administrative expenses, construction projects, capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
The Company may from time to time seek to repurchase or redeem the operating partnership’s outstanding debt, the Company’s shares of common stock or preferred stock or other securities in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or redemptions, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
For the Company to maintain its qualification as a REIT, it must pay dividends to its stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of its ordinary taxable income. While historically the Company has satisfied this distribution requirement by making cash distributions to its stockholders, it may choose to satisfy this requirement by making distributions of cash or other property, including, in limited circumstances, the Company’s own stock. As a result of this distribution requirement, the operating partnership cannot rely on retained earnings to fund its on-going operations to the same extent that other companies whose parent companies are not REITs can. The Company may need to continue to raise capital in the equity markets to fund the operating partnership’s working capital needs, acquisitions and developments.
The Company is a well-known seasoned issuer with an effective shelf registration statement which was amended in November 2010 that allows the Company to register an unspecified amount of various classes of equity securities and the operating partnership to register an unspecified amount of various classes of debt securities. As circumstances warrant, the Company may issue equity from time to time on an opportunistic basis, dependent upon market conditions and available pricing. When the Company receives proceeds from preferred or common equity issuances, it is required by the operating partnership’s partnership agreement to contribute the proceeds from its equity issuances to the operating partnership in exchange for preferred or partnership units of the operating partnership. The operating partnership may use the proceeds to repay debt, including borrowings under its unsecured line of credit, develop new or existing properties, acquire properties, or for general corporate purposes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources of BioMed Realty, L.P.
In this “Liquidity and Capital Resources of BioMed Realty, L.P.” section, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to the operating partnership together with its consolidated subsidiaries or our operating partnership and BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. together with their consolidated subsidiaries, as the context requires. BioMed Realty Trust, Inc., or our Parent Company, is our sole general partner and consolidates our results of operations for financial reporting purposes. Because we operate on a consolidated basis with our Parent Company, the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.” should be read in conjunction with this section to understand our liquidity and capital resources on a consolidated basis.
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for future dividends expected to be paid to our Parent Company’s stockholders, operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our properties, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, general and administrative expenses, construction projects, capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

In April 2011, we voluntarily prepaid in full the outstanding mortgage note pertaining to the Ardentech Court property, in the amount of approximately $4.6 million including a prepayment penalty of $361,000, prior to its maturity date. Additional consolidated mortgage note maturities through 2012 include mortgages on our 6828 Nancy Ridge Drive, Sidney Street and Sorrento West properties, with outstanding balances of $6.5 million, $27.2 million and $13.2 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2011.
Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for scheduled debt maturities, construction obligations, renovations, expansions, capital commitments and other non-recurring capital expenditures that need to be made periodically, and the costs associated with acquisitions of properties that we pursue. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we entered into construction contracts and lease agreements, with a remaining commitment totaling approximately $72.2 million related to tenant improvements, leasing commissions and construction-related capital expenditures.
We expect to satisfy our short-term liquidity requirements through our existing working capital and cash provided by our operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of additional equity or debt securities and the use of net proceeds from the disposition of non-strategic assets. Our rental revenues, provided by our leases, generally provide cash inflows to meet our debt service obligations, pay general and administrative expenses, and fund regular distributions. We expect to satisfy our long-term liquidity requirements through our existing working capital, cash provided by operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of additional equity or debt securities. We also expect to use funds available under our unsecured line of credit to finance acquisition and development activities and capital expenditures on an interim basis. Our unsecured line of credit has a maturity date of August 1, 2011, which may be extended to August 1, 2012 at our sole discretion, after satisfying certain conditions and paying an extension fee based on the then current facility commitment. The secured acquisition and interim loan facility has a maturity date of February 10, 2012. The secured construction loan has a maturity date of August 13, 2011. In accordance with the loan agreement, Prudential Insurance Corporation of America has guaranteed repayment of the secured construction loan. At maturity, we may refinance the loan, depending on market conditions and the availability of credit, or we may repay the principal balance of the secured construction loan. In addition, we earned an investment grade rating which we believe will provide us with continued access to the unsecured debt markets, providing us with an additional source of long term financing.
On March 30, 2011, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of our Notes due 2016. The net proceeds from the issuance were utilized to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness on our unsecured line of credit and for other general corporate and working capital purposes. The terms of the base indenture and supplemental indenture for the Notes due 2016 requires compliance with various financial covenants including limits on the amount of total leverage and secured debt maintained by us and requires us to maintain minimum levels of debt service coverage.

We may elect to acquire those OP units in exchange for shares of our Parent Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. At March 31, 2011, 131,239,482 of the outstanding OP units had been issued to our Parent Company upon receipt of the net proceeds from the issuance of an equal number of shares of our Parent Company’s common stock.

Although our organizational documents do not limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur, our Parent Company’s board of directors has adopted a policy of targeting our indebtedness at approximately 50% of our total asset book value. At March 31, 2011, the ratio of debt to total asset book value was approximately 38.5%. However, our Parent Company’s board of directors may from time to time modify our debt policy in light of current economic or market conditions including, but not limited to, the relative costs of debt and equity capital, market conditions for debt and equity securities and fluctuations in the market price of our Parent Company’s common stock. Accordingly, we may increase or decrease our debt to total asset book value ratio beyond the limit described above. In addition, the terms of the indentures governing our Notes due 2016 and Notes due 2020 require compliance with various financial covenants including limits on the amount of total leverage and secured debt maintained by us and require us to maintain minimum levels of debt service coverage. The terms of the credit agreement governing our unsecured line of credit also require compliance with financial ratios relating to the Company’s fixed charge coverage, unsecured debt service coverage, the maximum amount of secured and secured recourse indebtedness and leverage ratio. For more detail regarding the terms governing our indebtedness, see Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere herein.

We may from time to time seek to repurchase or redeem our outstanding debt, OP units or preferred units (subject to the repurchase or redemption of an equivalent number of shares of common stock or preferred stock by our Parent Company) or other securities, and our Parent Company may seek to repurchase or redeem its outstanding shares of common stock or preferred stock or other securities, in each case in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or redemptions, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2011, we had investments in the following unconsolidated partnerships: (1) McKellar Court limited partnership, which owns a single tenant occupied property located in San Diego; and (2) two limited liability companies with PREI, which own a portfolio of properties primarily located in Cambridge, Massachusetts (see Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein for more information).
The McKellar Court partnership is a VIE; however, we are not the primary beneficiary. The limited partner at McKellar Court is the only tenant in the property and will bear a disproportionate amount of any losses. We, as the general partner, will receive 22% of the operating cash flows and 75% of the gains upon sale of the property. We account for our general partner interest using the equity method. The assets of the McKellar Court partnership were $14.7 million and the liabilities were $10.5 million at both March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Our equity in net income of the McKellar Court partnership was $225,000 and $282,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In December 2009, we provided funding in the form of a promissory note to the McKellar Court partnership in the amount of $10.3 million, which matures at the earlier of (1) January 1, 2020, or (2) the day that the limited partner exercises an option to purchase our ownership interest. Interest-only payments on the promissory note are due monthly at a fixed rate of 8.15% (the rate may adjust higher after January 1, 2015), with the principal balance outstanding due at maturity.
PREI II LLC is a VIE; however, we are not the primary beneficiary. PREI will bear the majority of any losses incurred. PREI I LLC does not qualify as a VIE. In addition, consolidation is not required as we do not control the limited liability companies. In connection with the formation of the PREI joint ventures in April 2007, we contributed 20% of the initial capital. However, the amount of cash flow distributions that we receive may be more or less based on the nature of the circumstances underlying the cash distributions due to provisions in the operating agreements governing the distribution of funds to each member and the occurrence of extraordinary cash flow events. We account for our member interests using the equity method for both limited liability companies. The assets of the PREI joint ventures were $647.7 million and $652.3 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and the liabilities were $423.6 million at both March 31, 2011 and December 2010. Our equity in net loss of the PREI joint ventures was $873,000 and $559,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
We have been the primary beneficiary in five other VIEs, consisting of single-tenant properties in which the tenant has a fixed-price purchase option, which are consolidated and reflected in our consolidated financial statements.
Our proportionate share of outstanding debt related to our unconsolidated partnerships is summarized below (dollars in thousands):

(3)  
Amount represents our proportionate share of the total draws outstanding under a secured acquisition and interim loan facility, which bears interest at a rate equal to, at the option of our PREI joint ventures, either (a) reserve adjusted LIBOR plus 350 basis points or (b) the higher of (i) the prime rate then in effect, (ii) the federal funds rate then in effect plus 50 basis points or (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 450 basis points, and requires interest only monthly payments until the maturity date.
 
(4)  
Amount represents our proportionate share of a secured construction loan, which bears interest at a LIBOR-indexed variable rate. The secured construction loan was executed by a wholly owned subsidiary of PREI I LLC in connection with the construction of the 650 East Kendall Street property (initial borrowings of $84.0 million on February 13, 2008 were used in part to repay a portion of the secured acquisition and interim loan facility). The remaining balance is being utilized to fund construction costs at the property. At maturity, we may refinance the loan, depending on market conditions and the availability of credit, or we may repay the principal balance of the secured construction loan. In accordance with the loan agreement, Prudential Insurance Corporation of America has guaranteed repayment of the secured construction loan.
Cash Distribution Policy
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including the requirement that we distribute currently at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income to our stockholders. It is our intention to comply with these requirements and maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate federal, state or local income taxes on taxable income we distribute currently (in accordance with the Code and applicable regulations) to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal, state and local income taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for subsequent tax years. Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income 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 Code and applicable regulations thereunder.
In April 2009, in an effort to maintain financial flexibility in light of the current capital markets environment, we reset our annual dividend rate on shares of our common stock to $0.44 per share, starting in the second quarter of 2009. We subsequently increased our annual dividend rate on shares of our common stock to $0.56 per share, starting in the fourth quarter of 2009, to $0.60 per share, starting in the second quarter of 2010, to $0.68 per share, starting in the third quarter of 2010, and again to $0.80 per share, starting in the first quarter of 2011. While the change to our dividend level in the first quarter of 2011 represents our current expectation, the actual dividend payable in the future will be determined by our board of directors based upon the circumstances at the time of declaration and, as a result, the actual dividend payable in the future may vary from the current rate. The decision to declare and pay dividends on shares of our common stock in the future, as well as the timing, amount and composition of any such future dividends, will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors in light of conditions then existing, including our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, debt maturities, the availability of debt and equity capital, applicable REIT and legal restrictions and the general overall economic conditions and other factors.

Inflation
Some of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. These provisions generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases either at fixed rates or indexed escalations (based on the Consumer Price Index or other measures). We may be adversely impacted by inflation on the leases that do not contain indexed escalation provisions. In addition, most of our leases require the tenant to pay an allocable share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance. This may reduce our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation, assuming our properties remain leased and tenants fulfill their obligations to reimburse us for such expenses.
Portions of our unsecured line of credit bear interest at a variable rate, which will be influenced by changes in short-term interest rates, and will be sensitive to inflation.

ITEM 3.  
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 is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The primary market risk to which we believe we are exposed is interest rate risk. Many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control contribute to interest rate risk.
As of March 31, 2011, our consolidated debt consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):
                         
                    Effective Interest  
            Percent of     Rate at  
    Principal Balance(1)     Total Debt     March 31, 2011  
Fixed interest rate(2)
  $ 1,474,334       96.7 %     5.59 %
Variable interest rate(3)
    51,000       3.3 %     1.36 %
 
                   
Total/weighted-average effective interest rate
  $ 1,525,334       100.0 %     5.44 %
 
                   
 
     
(1)  
Principal balance includes only consolidated indebtedness.
 
(2)  
Includes nine mortgage notes payable secured by certain of our properties (including $4.6 million of unamortized premium), our Notes due 2026 (including $187,000 of unamortized debt discount), our Notes due 2030, our Notes due 2020 (including $2.5 million of unamortized debt discount), and our Notes due 2016 (including $2.4 million of unamortized debt discount).
 
(3)  
Includes our unsecured line of credit, which bears interest based on a LIBOR-indexed variable interest rate, plus a credit spread. The stated effective rate for the variable interest debt excludes the impact of any interest rate swap agreements. We have entered into two interest rate swaps, which are intended to have the effect of initially fixing the interest rates on $150.0 million of our variable rate debt at weighted average interest rates of approximately 4.7% (excluding applicable credit spreads for the underlying debt).
To determine the fair-value of our outstanding consolidated indebtedness, we utilize quoted market prices to estimate the fair-value, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, we calculate the fair-value of our mortgage notes payable and other fixed-rate debt based on an estimate of current lending rates, assuming the debt is outstanding through maturity and considering the notes’ collateral. In determining the current market rate for fixed-rate debt, a market credit spread is added to the quoted yields on federal government treasury securities with similar terms to the debt. In determining the current market rate for variable-rate debt, a market credit spread is added to the current effective interest rate. At March 31, 2011, the fair-value of the fixed-rate debt was estimated to be $1.6 billion compared to the net carrying value of $1.5 billion (includes $4.6 million of unamortized debt premium, $187,000 of unamortized debt discount associated with our Notes due 2026, $2.5 million of unamortized debt discount associated with our Notes due 2020, and $2.4 million of unamortized debt discount associated with our Notes due 2016). At March 31, 2011, the fair-value of the variable-rate debt was estimated to be $50.9 million compared to the net carrying value of $51.0 million. We do not believe that the interest rate risk represented by our fixed-rate debt or the risk of changes in the credit spread related to our variable-rate debt was material as of March 31, 2011 in relation to total assets of $4.0 million and equity market capitalization of $2.8 billion of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock and preferred stock, and BioMed Realty, L.P.’s OP units.
Based on the outstanding unhedged balances of our consolidated indebtedness at March 31, 2011, a 1% change in interest rates would not change our interest cost as all of our consolidated indebtedness is effectively fixed rate debt. Based on the outstanding unhedged balances of our proportionate share of the outstanding balance for the PREI joint ventures’ secured loan and secured construction loan at March 31, 2011, a 1% change in interest rates would change our interest costs included in our equity in net loss of unconsolidated partnerships by approximately $814,000 per year. This amount was determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. This analysis does not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of the magnitude discussed above, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, this analysis assumes no changes in our financial structure.

Table of Contents

In order to modify and manage the interest rate characteristics of our outstanding debt and to limit the effects of interest rate risks on our operations, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps and treasury locks in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. The use of these types of instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates carries additional risks, including counterparty credit risk, the enforceability of hedging contracts and the risk that unanticipated and significant changes in interest rates will cause a significant loss of basis in the contract. To limit counterparty credit risk we will seek to enter into such agreements with major financial institutions with high credit ratings. There can be no assurance that we will be able to adequately protect against the foregoing risks and will ultimately realize an economic benefit that exceeds the related amounts incurred in connection with engaging in such hedging activities. We do not enter into such contracts for speculative or trading purposes.
