1. Organization, Properties, Basis of Presentation, Financial Instruments and Recent Accounting Standards

Organization

Franklin Street Properties Corp. (“FSP Corp.” or the “Company”), holds, directly and indirectly, 100% of the interest in FSP Investments LLC, FSP Property Management LLC, FSP Holdings LLC and FSP Protective TRS Corp. The Company also has a non-controlling common stock interest in 17 corporations organized to operate as real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and a non-controlling preferred stock interest in three of those REITs.

The Company operates in two business segments: real estate operations and investment banking/investment services. FSP Investments LLC provides real estate investment and broker/dealer services. FSP Investments LLC’s services include: (i) the organization of REIT entities (the “Sponsored REITs”), which are syndicated through private placements; (ii) sourcing of the acquisition of real estate on behalf of the Sponsored REITs; and (iii) the sale of preferred stock in Sponsored REITs. FSP Investments LLC is a registered broker/dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA. FSP Property Management LLC provides asset management and property management services for the Sponsored REITs.

The Company owns and operates a portfolio of real estate, which consisted of 35 properties as of September 30, 2011. From time-to-time, the Company may acquire real estate or invest in real estate by purchasing shares of preferred stock offered in syndications of Sponsored REITs. The Company may also pursue, on a selective basis, the sale of its properties in order to take advantage of the value creation and demand for its properties, or for geographic or property specific reasons.

Properties

The following table summarizes the Company’s investment in real estate assets, excluding assets held for syndication and assets held for sale:

	As of September 30,
	2011	2010
Commercial real estate:
Number of properties	35	33
Rentable square feet	6,929,891	6,417,299

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include all the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited; however, the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“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 of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011 or for any other period.

Reclassifications

Certain balances in the 2010 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation. The reclassifications were primarily related to the disposition of two properties sold in 2011, one of which was classified as an asset held for sale at December 31, 2010 and are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. These reclassifications changed rental revenues, operating and maintenance expenses, depreciation and amortization, selling, general and administrative expenses and the related assets. There was no change to net income for any period presented as a result of these reclassifications.

1. Organization, Properties, Basis of Presentation, Financial Instruments and Recent Accounting Standards (continued)

Financial Instruments

The Company estimates that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and the bank note payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term maturity and prevailing interest rates.

Recent Accounting Standards

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This standard eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of stockholders’ equity and instead requires the components of other comprehensive income to be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This standard is intended to enhance comparability between entities that report under GAAP and to provide a more consistent method of presenting non-owner transactions that affect an entity’s equity. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company has already adopted this update with no material changes to the disclosures in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. Investment Banking/Investment Services Activity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company sold on a best efforts basis, through private placements, preferred stock in the following Sponsored REITs:

Sponsored REIT	Property Location	Gross Proceeds (1)
		(in thousands)
FSP Monument Circle Corp.	Indianapolis, IN	$	4,750
FSP Union Centre Corp.	West Chester, OH	52,800
	Total	$	57,550

(1) The syndication of FSP Monument Circle Corp. (“Monument Circle”) commenced in October 2010 and was fully subscribed on March 1, 2011. The syndication of FSP Union Centre Corp. (“Union Centre”), which commenced in March 2011, was not complete at September 30, 2011.

3. Related Party Transactions and Investments in Non-Consolidated Entities

Investment in Sponsored REITs:

At September 30, 2011, the Company held an interest in 16 Sponsored REITs. 15 were fully syndicated and the Company no longer derives economic benefits or risks from the common stock interest that is retained in them. One entity was not fully syndicated at September 30, 2011, which was Union Centre. The Company holds a non-controlling preferred stock investment in three of these Sponsored REITs, FSP Phoenix Tower Corp. (“Phoenix Tower”), FSP 303 East Wacker Drive Corp. (“East Wacker”) and FSP Grand Boulevard Corp. (“Grand Boulevard”), from which it continues to derive economic benefits and risks.

3. Related Party Transactions and Investments in Non-consolidated Entities (continued)

Equity in earnings of investment in non-consolidated REITs:

The following table includes equity in earnings of investments in non-consolidated REITs:

	Nine Months Ended
	September 30,
(in thousands)	2011			2010

Equity in earnings of Sponsored REITs	$	1,020		$	161
Equity in earnings (loss) of Phoenix Tower	(16		)	(43		)
Equity in earnings of East Wacker	1,739			720
Equity in earnings of Grand Boulevard	(36		)	199
	$	2,707		$	1,037

Equity in earnings of investments in Sponsored REITs is derived from the Company’s share of income (loss) following the commencement of syndication of Sponsored REITs. Following the commencement of syndication the Company exercises influence over, but does not control these entities, and investments are accounted for using the equity method.

Equity in earnings (loss) of Phoenix Tower is derived from the Company’s preferred stock investment in the entity. In September 2006, the Company purchased 48 preferred shares or 4.6% of the outstanding preferred shares of Phoenix Tower for $4,116,000 (which represented $4,800,000 at the offering price net of commissions of $384,000 and acquisition fees of $300,000 that were excluded).

Equity in earnings of East Wacker is derived from the Company’s preferred stock investment in the entity. In December 2007, the Company purchased 965.75 preferred shares or 43.7% of the outstanding preferred shares of East Wacker for $82,813,000 (which represented $96,575,000 at the offering price net of commissions of $7,726,000, loan fees of $5,553,000 and acquisition fees of $483,000 that were excluded).

Equity in earnings of Grand Boulevard is derived from the Company’s preferred stock investment in the entity. In May 2009, the Company purchased 175.5 preferred shares or 27.0% of the outstanding preferred shares of Grand Boulevard for $15,049,000 (which represented $17,550,000 at the offering price net of commissions of $1,404,000, loan fees of $1,009,000 and acquisition fees of $88,000 that were excluded).

The Company recorded distributions of $4,086,000 and $3,923,000 from non-consolidated REITs during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Non-consolidated REITs:

The Company has in the past acquired by merger entities similar to the Sponsored REITs. The Company’s business model for growth includes the potential acquisition by merger in the future of Sponsored REITs. The Company has no legal or any other enforceable obligation to acquire or to offer to acquire any Sponsored REIT. In addition, any offer (and the related terms and conditions) that might be made in the future to acquire any Sponsored REIT would require the approval of the boards of directors of the Company and the Sponsored REIT and the approval of the shareholders of the Sponsored REIT.

The operating data below for 2011 includes operations of the 16 Sponsored REITs the Company held an interest in as of September 30, 2011. The operating data for 2010 includes operations of the 14 Sponsored REITs the Company held an interest in as of September 30, 2010.

3. Related Party Transactions and Investments in Non-consolidated Entities (continued)

At September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, the Company had ownership interests in 16, 15 and 14 Sponsored REITs, respectively. Summarized financial information for these Sponsored REITs is as follows:

	September 30,			December 31,

Interest expense	(12,754		)	(6,847		)
Net income	$	4,145		$	3,006

Syndication fees and Transaction fees:

The Company provides syndication and real estate acquisition advisory services for Sponsored REITs. Syndication, development and transaction fees from non-consolidated entities amounted to approximately $7,869,000 and $1,827,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Management fees and interest income from loans:

Asset management fees range from 1% to 5% of collected rents and the applicable contracts are cancelable with 30 days notice. Asset management fee income from non-consolidated entities amounted to approximately $715,000 and $599,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company typically makes an acquisition loan (“Acquisition Loan”) to each Sponsored REIT which is secured by a mortgage on the borrower’s real estate. These loans enable Sponsored REITs to acquire their respective properties prior to the consummation of the offerings of their equity interests. The Company anticipates that each Acquisition Loan will be repaid at maturity or earlier from the proceeds of the Sponsored REIT’s equity offering. Each Acquisition Loan has a term of two years and bears interest at approximately the same rate paid by FSP Corp. for borrowings under the New Revolver (as defined in Note 5 below). The Company had one Acquisition Loan outstanding for the syndication of Union Centre as of September 30, 2011 and one Acquisition Loan outstanding for the syndication of Monument Circle as of December 31, 2010. Acquisition Loans are classified as assets held for syndication.

3. Related Party Transactions and Investments in Non-consolidated Entities (continued)

From time-to-time the Company may also make secured loans (“Sponsored REIT Loans”) to Sponsored REITs to fund construction costs, capital expenditures and leasing costs or for other purposes. The Company has provided Sponsored REIT Loans in the form of revolving lines of credit to five Sponsored REITs, or to wholly-owned subsidiaries of those Sponsored REITs, and a construction loan to one wholly-owned subsidiary of another Sponsored REIT. The Company anticipates that each Sponsored REIT Loan will be repaid at maturity or earlier from long term financings of the underlying properties, cash flows from the underlying properties or a capital event. Each Sponsored REIT Loan is secured by a mortgage on the underlying property and has a term of approximately two to three years. Advances under each Sponsored REIT Loan bear interest at a rate equal to the 30-day LIBOR rate plus an agreed upon number of basis points and most advances also require a 50 basis point draw fee. The Company received a $210,000 loan commitment fee at the time of the closing of the Sponsored REIT Loan that is structured as a construction loan.

The following is a summary of the Sponsored REIT Loans outstanding as of September 30, 2011:

4. Significant Acquisitions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company acquired four properties with an aggregate of approximately 871,000 rentable square feet at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $203 million excluding closing costs and adjustments. One property is located in Illinois, one is located in North Carolina and two are located in Texas.

The purchase price of the properties was allocated to real estate investments and leases, including lease origination costs. Lease origination costs represent the value associated with acquiring an in-place lease (i.e. the market cost to execute a similar lease, including leasing commission, legal, vacancy, and other related costs). The value assigned to buildings approximates their replacement cost; the value assigned to land approximates its appraised value; and the value assigned to leases approximates their fair value. Other assets and liabilities are recorded at their historical costs, which approximates fair value.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired at the date of acquisition:

	Value of Assets Acquired
	(in thousands)

Real estate assets		$	143,890
Value of acquired real estate leases		61,396
Acquired unfavorable leases		(2,441		)

Total		$	202,845

Pro forma operating results for the Company and the acquisitions are shown in the following table. The results assume that the properties were acquired on January 1, 2010. The results are not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s actual results of operations would have been for the period indicated, nor do they purport to represent the results of operations of any future period.

5. Bank note payable and term note payable

The Company had a bank note payable, which was an unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”) for advances up to $250 million that was repaid on February 22, 2011, and a term note payable, which was an unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan”) of approximately $75 million that was repaid on February 22, 2011. The Revolver and the Term Loan were with a group of banks.

The Revolver and Term Loan included restrictions on property liens and required compliance with various financial covenants. Financial covenants included the maintenance of at least $1.5 million in operating cash accounts, a minimum unencumbered cash and liquid investments balance and tangible net worth, limitations on permitted secured debt and compliance with various debt and operating income ratios, as defined in the loan agreement. The Company was in compliance with the Revolver and Term Loan financial covenants as of December 31, 2010.

5. Bank note payable and term note payable (continued)

On February 22, 2011, the Company entered into a new unsecured revolving line of credit (the “New Revolver”) for advances up to $500 million with a group of banks. On May 19, 2011, the Company increased availability under the New Revolver by $100 million to $600 million by fully exercising an accordion feature. The New Revolver matures on February 22, 2014 with a one-year extension available at the Company’s election and payment of a fee.

Proceeds from the New Revolver were used to repay and terminate the Revolver and the Term Loan on February 22, 2011. Borrowings under the New Revolver bear interest at either the bank’s base rate plus 85 to 200 basis points depending upon a leverage ratio at the time of borrowing (the bank’s base rate plus 95 basis points, or 4.20% at September 30, 2011) or a rate equal to LIBOR plus 185 to 300 basis points depending upon a leverage ratio at the time of borrowing (LIBOR plus 195 basis points, or 2.19% at September 30, 2011). The loan terms include a facility fee at an annual rate of 30 to 50 basis points depending upon a leverage ratio (35 basis points at September 30, 2011), which is applied to the total amount of the New Revolver. There were borrowings of $375,000,000 outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 2.19% as of September 30, 2011. The weighted average interest rate on amounts outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 on the New Revolver and the Revolver was approximately 1.95%.

The New Revolver requires compliance with various financial covenants, including minimum tangible net worth, maximum leverage ratios, maximum secured leverage ratios, minimum fixed charge leverage ratios, maximum unencumbered leverage ratios, minimum unsecured debt service coverage, dividend and distribution requirements, investment requirements and maximum secured recourse indebtedness values. The Company was in compliance with the New Revolver financial covenants as of September 30, 2011.

Borrowings under the Revolver bore interest at either the bank’s prime rate or a rate equal to LIBOR plus 100 basis points. There were borrowings of $209,968,000 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.26% outstanding under the Revolver at December 31, 2010. The weighted average interest rate on amounts outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was approximately 1.29%; and for the year ended December 31, 2010 was approximately 1.33%.

The Term Loan had an interest rate option equal to LIBOR (subject to a 2% floor) plus 200 basis points and a requirement that the Company fix the interest rate for the initial three-year term of the Term Loan pursuant to an interest rate swap agreement which the Company did at an interest rate of 5.84% per annum pursuant to an interest rate swap agreement. The Company repaid and terminated the Term Loan and related interest rate swap from the proceeds of the New Revolver on February 22, 2011.

The Company intends to draw on the New Revolver in the future for a variety of corporate purposes, including the funding of interim mortgage loans to Sponsored REITs and the acquisition of properties that it acquires directly for its portfolio. The Company typically causes mortgage loans to Sponsored REITs to be secured by a first mortgage against the real property owned by the Sponsored REIT. The Company makes these loans to enable a Sponsored REIT to acquire real property prior to the consummation of the offering of its equity interests, and the loan is repaid out of the offering proceeds. The Company also may make secured loans to Sponsored REITs for the purpose of funding capital expenditures, costs of leasing or for other purposes which would be repaid from long-term financing of the property, cash flows from the property or a capital event.

6. Financial Instruments: Derivatives and Hedging

The Company’s hedging activity was limited to an interest rate swap. The purpose of the interest rate swap, which was terminated on February 22, 2011, was to fix the interest rate for the term of the loan and protect the Company from future interest rate increases on the Term Loan that is described in Note 5.

The fair value of the Company’s derivative instrument was determined using the net discounted cash flows of the expected cash flows of the derivative based on the market based interest rate curve. This financial instrument was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and was classified as a liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The interest rate swap represented a cash flow hedge and was recorded at fair value and classified as a liability. Changes in the recorded fair value of the interest rate swap were recorded to other comprehensive income. On February 22, 2011, the interest rate swap agreement applicable to the Term Loan with a value of approximately $75 million was terminated and a payment was made of approximately $982,000. The payment to terminate the interest rate swap liability will be amortized into interest expense through October 15, 2011. As of September 30, 2011, the unamortized balance was approximately $63,000.

The interest amortization for the Company’s terminated interest rate swap reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income into interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was as follows:

	Three Months		Nine Months
	Ended		Ended
(in thousands)	September 30,		September 30,

7. Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of Company shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares were exercised or converted into shares. There were no potential dilutive shares outstanding at September 30, 2011 and 2010.

8. Stockholders’ Equity

As of September 30, 2011, the Company had 82,937,405 shares of common stock outstanding.

On May 6, 2010, the Company entered into an on demand offering sales agreement whereby the Company may offer and sell up to an aggregate gross sales price of $75 million of its common stock from time to time (the “ATM Sales Program”). Sales of shares of the Company’s common stock depend upon market conditions and other factors determined by the Company and may be deemed to be “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on the NYSE Amex or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange, as well as in negotiated transactions, if and to the extent agreed by the Company in writing. The Company has no obligation to sell any shares of its common stock, and may at any time suspend solicitation and offers. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company sold 1,500,000 shares of its common stock under the ATM Sales Program at an average price of $12.00 per share, for which approximately $360,000 was payable to the placement/sales agent and $256,000 was incurred for offering related expenses, raising net proceeds of approximately $17.4 million.

9. Business Segments

The Company operates in two business segments: real estate operations (including real estate leasing, making interim acquisition loans and other financing and asset/property management) including discontinued operations and investment banking/investment services (including real estate acquisition, development and broker/dealer services). The Company has identified these segments because this information is the basis upon which management makes decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in “Significant Accounting Policies” in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company’s operations are located in the United States of America.

The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on Funds From Operations (“FFO”), because management believes that FFO represents the most accurate measure of the reportable segment’s activity and is the basis for distributions paid to equity holders. The Company defines FFO as net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and acquisition costs of newly acquired properties that are not capitalized, plus depreciation and amortization, including amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles, and after adjustments to exclude non-cash income (or losses) from non-consolidated or Sponsored REITs, plus distributions received from non-consolidated or Sponsored REITs.

FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance, nor as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is it necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company’s needs. Other real estate companies and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, may define this term in a different manner. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the results of the Company, FFO should be examined in connection with net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in the consolidated financial statements.

10. Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a REIT, the Company generally is entitled to a tax deduction for dividends paid to its shareholders, thereby effectively subjecting the distributed net income of the Company to taxation at the shareholder level only. The Company must comply with a variety of restrictions to maintain its status as a REIT. These restrictions include the type of income it can earn, the type of assets it can hold, the number of shareholders it can have and the concentration of their ownership, and the amount of the Company’s taxable income that must be distributed annually.

Franklin Street Properties Corp.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

10. Income Taxes (continued)

One such restriction is that the Company generally cannot own more than 10% of the voting power or value of the securities of any one issuer unless the issuer is itself a REIT or a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). In the case of TRSs, the Company’s ownership of securities in all TRSs generally cannot exceed 25% of the value of all of the Company’s assets and, when considered together with other non-real estate assets, cannot exceed 25% of the value of all of the Company’s assets. Effective January 1, 2002, a subsidiary of the Company, FSP Investments LLC, became a TRS. As a result, FSP Investments LLC, which is part of the Company’s investment banking/investment services segment, operates as a taxable corporation under the Code.

Income taxes are recorded based on the future tax effects of the difference between the tax and financial reporting bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities. In estimating future tax consequences, potential future events are considered except for potential changes in income tax law or in rates.

Accrued interest and penalties will be recorded as income tax expense if the Company records a liability in the future. The Company and one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations for the Company’s income tax returns is generally three years and as such, the Company’s returns that remain subject to examination would be primarily from 2008 and thereafter.

The income tax expense (benefit) reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of income relates to the TRSs and Texas Franchise tax. The expense (benefit) differs from the amounts computed by applying the federal statutory rate to income before taxes as follows:

	For the
	Nine Months Ended
	September 30,
(in thousands)	2011			2010

Federal income tax expense (benefit) at statutory rate	$	20		$	(526	)
Increase (decrease) in taxes resulting from:
State income tax (benefit), net of federal impact	-			(96		)
Valuation allowance on tax benefit	(17		)	360
Revised Texas franchise tax	182			161
Income tax expense (benefit)	$	185		$	(101	)

Taxes on income are a current tax expense. No deferred income taxes were provided as there were no material temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the TRSs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 a release of $17,000 of the valuation allowance on the federal tax benefit was used to offset the 2011 tax expense of FSP Investments LLC. A valuation allowance of approximately $360,000 was recorded to reduce the tax benefit resulting from the 2010 loss attributable to FSP Investments LLC as future use of the tax benefit at the federal and state level may be uncertain.

In May 2006, the State of Texas enacted a business tax (the “Revised Texas Franchise Tax”) that replaced its existing franchise tax.

The Revised Texas Franchise Tax is a tax at a rate of approximately 0.7% of revenues at Texas properties commencing with 2007 revenues. Some of the Company’s leases allow reimbursement by tenants for these amounts because the Revised Texas Franchise Tax replaces a portion of the property tax for school districts. Because the tax base on the Revised Texas Franchise Tax is derived from an income based measure it is considered an income tax. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes on its condensed consolidated statement of income of $182,000 and $161,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

11. Discontinued Operations

The Company reached agreements to sell an office property located in Falls Church, Virginia, which was sold on January 21, 2011, and was classified as held for sale at December 31, 2010 and an industrial property located in Savage, Maryland, which was sold on June 24, 2011. Both properties were sold at a gain. Accordingly, the operating results for these properties have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented, and are summarized below:

On October 14, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a cash distribution of $0.19 per share of common stock payable on November 18, 2011 to stockholders of record on October 28, 2011.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the condensed consolidated financial statements, including trends which might appear, should not be taken as necessarily indicative of future operations. The following discussion and other parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may also contain forward-looking statements based on current judgments and current knowledge of management, which are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that our forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty, including without limitation, economic conditions in the United States, disruptions in the debt markets, economic conditions in the markets in which we own properties, changes in the demand by investors for investment in Sponsored REITs, risks of a lessening of demand for the types of real estate owned by us, changes in government regulations, and expenditures that cannot be anticipated such as utility rate and usage increases, unanticipated repairs, additional staffing, insurance increases and real estate tax valuation reassessments. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors” below. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We may not update any of the forward-looking statements after the date this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed to conform them to actual results or to changes in our expectations that occur after such date, other than as required by law.

Overview

FSP Corp., or the Company, operates in two business segments: real estate operations and investment banking/investment services. The real estate operations segment involves real estate rental operations, leasing, secured financing of real estate for interim acquisition or other property financing, and services provided for asset management, property management, property acquisitions, dispositions and development. The investment banking/investment services segment involves the structuring of real estate investments and broker/dealer services that include the organization of Sponsored REITs, the acquisition and development of real estate on behalf of Sponsored REITs and the raising of capital to equitize the Sponsored REITs through sale of preferred stock in private placements.

The main factor that affects our real estate operations is the broad economic market conditions in the United States. These market conditions affect the occupancy levels and the rent levels on both a national and local level. We have no influence on the national market conditions. We look to acquire and/or develop quality properties in good locations in order to lessen the impact of downturns in the market and to take advantage of upturns when they occur.

Our investment banking/investment services customers are primarily institutions and high net-worth individuals. To the extent that the broad capital markets affect these investors our business is also affected. These investors have many investment choices. We must continually search for real estate at a price and at a competitive risk/reward rate of return that meets our customer’s risk/reward investment profile.

Due to the transactional nature of significant portions of our business, our quarterly financial metrics have historically been quite variable. We do not manage our business to quarterly targets but rather manage our business to longer-term targets. Consequently, we consider annual financial results to be much more meaningful for performance and trend measurements.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have certain critical accounting policies that are subject to judgments and estimates by our management and uncertainties of outcome that affect the application of these policies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. The accounting policies that we believe are most critical to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations, and that require significant management estimates and judgments, are discussed in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Critical accounting policies are those that have the most impact on the reporting of our financial condition and results of operations and those requiring significant judgments and estimates. We believe that our judgments and assessments are consistently applied and produce financial information that fairly presents our results of operations. No changes to our critical accounting policies have occurred since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Trends and Uncertainties

Economic Conditions

The economy in the United States is continuing to experience a period of limited economic growth, including historically high levels of unemployment, the failure and near failure of a number of financial institutions and increased credit risk premiums for a number of market participants. The broad economic market conditions in the United States are affected by numerous factors, including but not limited to, inflation and employment levels, energy prices, slow growth and/or recessionary concerns, changes in currency exchange rates, geopolitical events, the regulatory environment and the availability of debt and interest rate fluctuations. The current state of the U.S. economy has affected our business, resulting in a decline in occupancy in our real estate portfolio in 2009 and 2010, and may affect real estate values, occupancy levels, property income and the propensity and the ability of investors to invest in our Sponsored REITs in the future. At this time, we cannot predict the extent or duration of any negative impact that the current state of the U.S. economy will have on our business.

Real Estate Operations

Leasing

Our real estate portfolio was approximately 88.1% leased as of September 30, 2011 and approximately 82.0% leased as of September 30, 2010. As of September 30, 2011, leases for approximately 1.8% of the square footage in our portfolio were scheduled to expire during the remainder of 2011, and leases for approximately 4.7% were scheduled to expire during 2012. We believe that many of the rental/leasing markets where our properties are located remained stable during the third quarter and showed moderate improvement in occupancy and rental-rate levels. We also believe that the nation’s stalling employment growth and financial and regulatory uncertainty appear to be factors in slowing decisions on potential future office space needs. However, we continue to make leasing progress in our portfolio and continue to have as our objective to move overall occupancy levels in the portfolio back to the ninety-plus percentage range by early 2012.

While we cannot generally predict when existing vacancy in our real estate portfolio will be leased or if existing tenants with expiring leases will renew their leases or what the terms and conditions of the lease renewals will be, we expect to renew or sign new leases at then-current market rates for locations in which the buildings are located, which in many cases may be below the expiring rates. Also, even as the economy recovers, we believe the potential for any of our tenants to default on its lease or to seek the protection of bankruptcy still exists. If any of our tenants defaults on its lease, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as a landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment. In addition, at any time, a tenant of one of our properties may seek the protection of bankruptcy laws, which could result in the rejection and termination of such tenant’s lease and thereby cause a reduction in cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

Real Estate Acquisitions and Investments

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we acquired four properties directly into our portfolio with an aggregate of approximately 871,000 rentable square feet at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $201 million, excluding closing costs and adjustments. One property is located in North Carolina, one is located in Illinois and two are located in Texas. Additional real estate investments are a major objective of FSP and we anticipate additional activity this year.

Discontinued Operations and Property Dispositions

We did not dispose of any properties during 2010. However, we did dispose of an office property located in Falls Church, Virginia on January 21, 2011 at a gain and an industrial property located in Savage, Maryland on June 24, 2011, also at a gain. Accordingly, these properties have been reflected as discontinued operations in the financial statements for all periods presented.

We will continue to evaluate our portfolio, and in the future may decide to dispose of additional properties from time-to-time in the ordinary course of business. We believe that the current property sales environment remains challenged relative to both liquidity and pricing. However, we also believe that we are witnessing improving pricing and liquidity in certain markets, extending a trend that we believe began in the second half of 2009. We believe that both improving office property fundamentals as well as plentiful and attractive financing availability will likely be required to broadly improve the marketplace for property dispositions. As an important part of our total return strategy, we intend to be active in property dispositions when we believe that market conditions warrant such activity and, as a consequence, we continue to consider some of our properties for possible disposition.

Investment Banking/Investment Services

Unlike our real estate operations business, which provides a rental revenue stream which is ongoing and recurring in nature, our investment banking/investment services business is transactional in nature. Equity raised for Sponsored REIT syndications was $57.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $10.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2010, syndication proceeds decreased 11% to $36.0 million compared to $40.4 million in 2009.

In October 2010, one of our Sponsored REITs, FSP Monument Circle Corp., purchased an office and retail property in Indianapolis, Indiana. Permanent equity capitalization of the property was structured as a private placement offering of preferred stock totaling $30 million, which was fully subscribed on March 1, 2011. In January 2011, one of our Sponsored REITs, FSP Union Centre Corp., purchased an office property in West Chester, Ohio. Permanent equity capitalization of the property was structured as a private placement offering of preferred stock totaling $62 million, $52.8 million of which had been closed in as of September 30, 2011. This private placement offering is ongoing as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2011.

Capital raising efforts in our investment banking business slowed significantly in the third quarter of 2011 and we believe that capital raising efforts over any specific period of time will likely remain unpredictable. A significant slowdown in our investment banking business actually began in the third quarter of 2007 and, at this point, it remains unclear when or if a sustainable higher volume of equity investment in Sponsored REITs will return. Business in this area, while always uncertain, has been affected by the uncertainty surrounding the future performance of commercial property markets, the amount of available mortgage financing for adequate capitalization of those markets and an increasing desire by our traditional target market clientele for liquidity in their investments which our Sponsored REITs do not offer. We believe that our traditional investor’s confidence and interest in commercial real estate is changeable and very dependent on broader capital market/stock market activity. In addition, the timing of property acquisitions that could be attractive for syndication is also unpredictable. We also continue to rely solely on our in-house investment executives to access interested investors who have capital they can afford to place in an illiquid position for an indefinite period of time (i.e., invest in a Sponsored REIT). We continue to evaluate whether our in-house sales force is capable, either through our existing client base or through new clients, of raising sufficient investment capital in Sponsored REITs to achieve future performance objectives.

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2011 to the three months ended September 30, 2010:

Revenues

Total revenues increased by $5.6 million to $35.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily a result of:

o An increase in rental revenue of approximately $4.5 million arising primarily from the acquisition of three properties in March 2011 and a property in June 2010, that were included in the results for the three months ended September 30, 2011, and leasing, which raised occupancy to 88.1% at September 30, 2011 compared to 82.0% at September 30, 2010.

o A $0.7 million increase in syndication fees and transaction fees, which was principally a result of an increase in gross syndication proceeds for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

o A $0.4 million increase in interest income from loans to Sponsored REITs, which was principally a result of a larger loan receivable balance and a higher interest rate charged during the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010, from which interest income is derived.

Expenses

Total expenses increased by $5.9 million to $32.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily a result of:

o An increase in real estate operating expenses and real estate taxes and insurance of approximately $1.0 million, and depreciation of $2.7 million, which were primarily from the acquisition of three properties in March 2011 and another property in June 2010.

o An increase to interest expense of approximately $1.5 million to $3.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2010. The increase was attributable to a higher amount of debt outstanding and an increase in the interest rate associated with our New Revolver, which closed on February 22, 2011 compared to the Revolver and Term Loan that were used during the three months ended September 30, 2010.

o An increase in commissions of $0.3 million, which was principally a result of an increase in gross syndication proceeds for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

o An increase in general and administrative expenses of $0.3 million, which was primarily the result of approximately a $0.2 million increase in acquisition costs, which related to the acquisition of a property during the three months ended September 30, 2011, and a $0.1 million increase in compensation related expenses. We had 44 and 42 employees as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, at our headquarters in Wakefield, Massachusetts.

Equity in earnings of non-consolidated REITs

Equity in earnings from non-consolidated REITs increased approximately $0.2 million to $0.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $0.2 million in equity in income from our investment in FSP 303 East Wacker Drive Corp., which we refer to as East Wacker, during the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010.

Taxes on income

Taxes on income increased by $0.1 million to $0.1 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010. We placed a valuation allowance on future tax benefits from losses in 2010 as we had carried back losses in prior years and a portion of that valuation allowance reduced income tax expense for the third quarter of 2011. Tax losses arose primarily from reduced activity in the investment banking and investment services business. Included in income taxes for both periods is the Revised Texas Franchise Tax, which is derived from an income based measure and so it is considered an income tax.

Income from continuing operations

Income from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $3.3 million compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, for the reasons described above.

Discontinued operations and gain on sale of property

During 2010, we reached an agreement to sell an office property, located in Falls Church, Virginia, which was sold on January 21, 2011 at a gain. On June 24, 2011, we sold an industrial property in Savage, Maryland at a gain. Accordingly, these properties have been reflected as discontinued operations in the financial statements for all periods presented. Income from discontinued operations of the property was approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Net income

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $3.3 million compared to $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, for the reasons described above.

The following table shows results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to the nine months ended September 30, 2010:

Revenues

Total revenues increased by $20.8 million to $109.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily a result of:

o An increase in rental revenue of approximately $13.5 million arising primarily from the acquisition of three properties in March 2011 and a property in June 2010, that were included in the results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and leasing, which raised occupancy to 88.1% at September 30, 2011 compared to 82.0% at September 30, 2010.

o A $6.0 million increase in syndication fees and transaction fees, which was principally a result of an increase in gross syndication proceeds for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

o A $0.2 million increase in management fee income from Sponsored REITs we manage during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period on 2010.

o A $1.1 million increase in interest income from loans to Sponsored REITs, which was principally a result of a larger loan receivable balance and a higher interest rate charged during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from which interest income is derived.

Expenses

Total expenses increased by $19.0 million to $95.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily a result of:

o An increase in real estate operating expenses and real estate taxes and insurance of approximately $4.2 million, and depreciation of $8.6 million, which were primarily from the acquisition of three properties in March 2011 and another property in June 2010.

o An increase to interest expense of approximately $4.1 million to $9.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $5.3 million for the same period in 2010. The increase was attributable to a higher amount of debt outstanding and an increase in interest rate associated with our New Revolver, which closed on February 22, 2011 compared to the Revolver and Term Loan that were used during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

o An increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $0.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, which was primarily the result of a $0.3 million increase in acquisition costs and a $0.1 million increase in compensation related expenses. We had 44 and 42 employees as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, at our headquarters in Wakefield, Massachusetts.

o An increase in commissions of $1.7 million, which was principally a result of an increase in gross syndication proceeds for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

Equity in earnings of non-consolidated REITs

Equity in earnings from non-consolidated REITs increased approximately $1.7 million to $2.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $1.0 million in equity in income from our investment in East Wacker, an increase of $0.9 million from syndications in process during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in equity in income from our investment in Grand Boulevard.

Taxes on income

Taxes on income increased by $0.3 million to $0.2 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. We placed a valuation allowance on future tax benefits from losses in 2010 as we had carried back losses in prior years and a portion of that valuation allowance reduced income tax expense for the third quarter of 2011. Tax losses arose primarily from reduced activity in the investment banking and investment services business. Included in income taxes for both periods is the Revised Texas Franchise Tax, which is derived from an income based measure so it is considered an income tax.

Income from continuing operations

Income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $16.0 million compared to $12.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, for the reasons described above.

Discontinued operations and gain on sale of property

During 2010, we reached an agreement to sell an office property, located in Falls Church, Virginia, which was sold on January 21, 2011 at a gain. On June 24, 2011, we sold an industrial property in Savage, Maryland at a gain. Accordingly, these properties have been reflected as discontinued operations in the financial statements for all periods presented. Income from discontinued operations of the property was approximately $0.6 million and $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we reported a $21.9 million in gains on the sale of these properties.

Net income

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $38.5 million compared to $16.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, for the reasons described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $44.0 million and $68.2 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. This decrease of $24.2 million is attributable to $44.9 million provided by operating activities less $124.0 million used in investing activities, plus $54.9 million provided by financing activities. Management believes that existing cash, cash anticipated to be generated internally by operations, cash anticipated to be generated by the sale of preferred stock in future Sponsored REITs and our existing debt financing will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. Although there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain the funds necessary for our future growth, we anticipate generating funds from continuing real estate operations and from fees and commissions from the sale of shares in newly formed Sponsored REITs. We believe that we have adequate funds to cover unusual expenses and capital improvements in addition to normal operating expenses. Our ability to maintain or increase our level of dividends to stockholders, however, depends in significant part upon the level of rental income from our real properties and the level of interest on the part of investors in purchasing shares of Sponsored REITs.

Operating Activities

The cash provided by our operating activities of $44.9 million is primarily attributable to net income of $38.5 million, less the gain on sale of properties of $21.9 million, plus the add-back of $25.8 million of non-cash activities, $4.1 million of distributions from non-consolidated REITs, a $3.7 million increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, a $0.8 million decrease in tenant receivables, a $0.5 million decrease in tenant security deposits and a $0.1 million decrease in prepaid expenses. These increases were partially offset by $6.7 million in payments of leasing commissions.

Investing Activities

Our cash used for investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of $124.0 million is primarily attributable to additions to real estate investments and office equipment of approximately $214.2 million, an increase in assets held for syndication of $2.4 million and secured loans made to Sponsored REITs of approximately $4.2 million. These uses were partially offset by net proceeds from the sale of properties of $96.8 million.

Financing Activities

Our cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of $54.9 million is primarily attributable to net borrowings of $165 million, which was comprised of $375 million in borrowings on our New Revolver, and repayment of our Revolver balance from December 31, 2010 of $210 million and from net proceeds from our ATM Sales Program of approximately $17.5 million. These increases were partially offset by repayment of our Term Loan of $74.9 million and a $1 million payment to terminate a Swap related to the Term Loan, $5.4 million in financing costs associated with the New Revolver and distributions paid to stockholders of $46.4 million.

New Revolver, Revolver and Term Loan

We had a bank note payable, which was an unsecured revolving line of credit for advances up to $250 million, that was repaid on February 22, 2011. We refer to this revolving line of credit as the Revolver. We also had a term note payable, which was an unsecured term loan of approximately $75 million, that was also repaid on February 22, 2011. We refer to this unsecured term loan as the Term Loan. The Revolver and the Term Loan were with a group of banks.

The Revolver and Term Loan included restrictions on property liens and required compliance with various financial covenants. Financial covenants included the maintenance of at least $1.5 million in operating cash accounts, a minimum unencumbered cash and liquid investments balance and tangible net worth, limitations on permitted secured debt and compliance with various debt and operating income ratios, as defined in the loan agreement. We were in compliance with the Revolver and Term Loan financial covenants as of December 31, 2010.

On February 22, 2011, we entered into a new unsecured revolving line of credit, which we refer to as the New Revolver, for advances up to $500 million with a group of banks. On May 19, 2011, we increased availability under the New Revolver by $100 million to $600 million by fully exercising an accordion feature. The New Revolver matures on February 22, 2014 with a one-year extension available at our election and payment of a fee.

Proceeds from the New Revolver were used to repay and terminate the Revolver and Term Loan on February 22, 2011. Borrowings under the New Revolver bear interest at either the bank’s base rate plus 85 to 200 basis points depending upon a leverage ratio at the time of borrowing (the bank’s base rate plus 95 basis points, or 4.20% at September 30, 2011) or a rate equal to

LIBOR plus 185 to 300 basis points depending upon a leverage ratio at the time of borrowing (LIBOR plus 195 basis points, or 2.19% at September 30, 2011). The loan terms include a facility fee at an annual rate of 30 to 50 basis points depending upon a leverage ratio (35 basis points at September 30, 2011), which is applied to the total amount of the New Revolver. There were borrowings of $375,000,000 outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 2.19% as of September 30, 2011. The weighted average interest rate on amounts outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 on the New Revolver and the Revolver was approximately 1.95%. The actual amount of any applicable facility fee, LIBOR rate or base rate is determined based on our total leverage ratio as described in the table in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources, Revolver/New Revolver” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The New Revolver requires compliance with various financial covenants, including minimum tangible net worth, maximum leverage ratios, maximum secured leverage ratios, minimum fixed charge leverage ratios, maximum unencumbered leverage ratios, minimum unsecured debt service coverage, dividend and distribution requirements, investment requirements and maximum secured recourse indebtedness values. We were in compliance with the New Revolver financial covenants as of September 30, 2011.

The Term Loan had an interest rate option equal to LIBOR (subject to a 2% floor) plus 200 basis points and a requirement that we fix the interest rate for the initial three-year term of the Term Loan pursuant to an interest rate swap agreement which we did at an interest rate of 5.84% per annum pursuant to an interest rate swap agreement. We repaid and terminated the Term Loan and related interest rate swap from the proceeds of the New Revolver on February 22, 2011.

We intend to draw on the New Revolver in the future for a variety of corporate purposes, including the funding of interim mortgage loans to Sponsored REITs and the acquisition of properties that it acquires directly for its portfolio. We typically cause mortgage loans to Sponsored REITs to be secured by a first mortgage against the real property owned by the Sponsored REIT. We make these loans to enable a Sponsored REIT to acquire real property prior to the consummation of the offering of its equity interests, and the loan is repaid out of the offering proceeds. We also may make secured loans to Sponsored REITs for the purpose of funding capital expenditures, costs of leasing or for other purposes which would be repaid from long-term financing of the property, cash flows from the property or a capital event.

Equity Securities

On May 6, 2010, we entered into an on demand offering sales agreement that allows us to offer and sell up to an aggregate gross sales price of $75 million of our common stock from time to time, which we refer to as our ATM Sales Program. Sales of shares of our common stock depend upon market conditions and other factors determined by us and are deemed to be “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on the NYSE Amex or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange, as well as in negotiated transactions, if and to the extent agreed by us in writing. We have no obligation to sell any shares of our common stock, and may at any time suspend solicitation and offers. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we sold 1,500,000 shares of our common stock under our ATM Sales Program at an average price of $12.00 per share, for which approximately $360,000 was payable to the placement/sales agent and $256,000 was incurred for offering related expenses, raising net proceeds of approximately $17.4 million.

As of September 30, 2011, we have an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 on file with the SEC relating to the offer and sale, from time to time, of an indeterminate amount of our common stock. From time to time, we expect to issue additional shares of our common stock under our automatic shelf registration statement or a different registration statement to fund the acquisition of additional properties, to pay down any existing debt financing and for other corporate purposes.

Contingencies

From time to time, we may provide financing to Sponsored REITs in the form of a construction loan and/or a revolving line of credit secured by a mortgage. As of September 30, 2011, we were committed to fund up to $85.8 million to six Sponsored REITs under such arrangements for the purpose of funding construction costs, capital expenditures, leasing costs or for other purposes, of which $61.9 million has been drawn and is outstanding. We anticipate that advances made under these facilities will be repaid at their maturity date or earlier from long-term financings of the underlying properties, cash flows from the underlying properties or another other capital event.

We may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Although occasional adverse decisions (or settlements) may occur, we believe that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Assets Held for Syndication

As of September 30, 2011, we had one asset held for syndication for a property in West Chester, Ohio and at December 31, 2010, we had one asset held for syndication for a property in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Related Party Transactions

In March 2011, we commenced the syndication of FSP Union Centre Corp., which was still in process as of September 30, 2011. In November 2010, we commenced the syndication of FSP Monument Circle Corp., which was fully subscribed on March 1, 2011. In November 2009, we commenced the syndication of FSP Centre Pointe V Corp., which was fully subscribed on July 9, 2010. In May 2008, we commenced the syndication of FSP 385 Interlocken Development Corp., which was fully subscribed on July 9, 2010.

We intend to draw on the New Revolver in the future for a variety of corporate purposes, including the acquisition of properties that we acquire directly for our portfolio and for loans to Sponsored REITs, including the Acquisition Loans and the Sponsored REIT Loans described below. Additional Information about our Acquisition Loans and our Sponsored REIT Loans outstanding as of September 30, 2011, including a summary table of the Sponsored REIT Loans, is incorporated herein by reference to Part I, Item 1, Note 3, “Related Party Transactions and Investments in Non-Consolidated Entities – Management fees and interest income from loans”, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

Loans to Sponsored REITs

Acquisition Loans

We typically make an acquisition loan to each Sponsored REIT which is secured by a mortgage on the borrower’s real estate. These loans enable Sponsored REITs to acquire their respective properties prior to the consummation of the offerings of their equity interests. We refer to these loans as Acquisition Loans. We anticipate that each Acquisition Loan will be repaid at maturity or earlier from the proceeds of the Sponsored REIT’s equity offering. Each Acquisition Loan has a term of two years and bears interest at approximately the same rate paid by FSP Corp. for borrowings under the New Revolver. We had one Acquisition Loan outstanding for the syndication of FSP Union Centre Corp., as of September 30, 2011 and one Acquisition Loan outstanding for the syndication of FSP Monument Circle Corp., as of December 31, 2010. Acquisition Loans are classified as assets held for syndication.

Sponsored REIT Loans

From time to time we may also make secured loans to Sponsored REITs to fund construction costs, capital expenditures and leasing costs or for other purposes. We refer to these loans as Sponsored REIT Loans. Since December 2007, we have provided Sponsored REIT Loans in the form of revolving lines of credit to five Sponsored REITs, or to wholly-owned subsidiaries of those Sponsored REITs, and a construction loan to one wholly-owned subsidiary of another Sponsored REIT. We anticipate that each Sponsored REIT Loan will be repaid at maturity or earlier from long term financing of the property securing the loan, cash flows from that underlying property or a capital event. Each Sponsored REIT Loan is secured by a mortgage on the underlying property and has a term of approximately two to three years. Advances under each Sponsored REIT Loan bear interest at a rate equal to the 30-day LIBOR rate plus an agreed upon number of basis points and most advances also require a 50 basis point draw fee. We received a $210,000 loan commitment fee at the time of the closing of the Sponsored REIT Loan that is structured as a construction loan. As of September 30, 2011, we were committed to fund Sponsored REIT Loans up to $85.8 million to six Sponsored REITs, of which $61.9 million was drawn and outstanding.

Additional information about our Acquisition Loans and our Sponsored REIT Loans outstanding as of September 30, 2011, including a summary table of our Sponsored REIT Loans, is incorporated herein by reference to Part I, Item 1, Note 3, “Related Party Transactions and Investments in Non-Consolidated Entities – Management fees and interest income from loans”, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

Other Considerations

We generally pay the ordinary annual operating expenses of our properties from the rental revenue generated by the properties. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the rental income exceeded the expenses for each individual property, with the exception of our properties located in Southfield, Michigan, Englewood, Colorado and Federal Way, Washington.

Our property located in Southfield, Michigan with approximately 215,000 square feet of rentable space was 39.2% and 58.6% leased at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. A significant tenant downsized to approximately 41,000 square feet on April 30, 2011. Rental revenue did not cover ordinary operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010. The property generated rental income of $273,000 and $882,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively; and had operating expenses of $508,000 and $1,482,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The property generated rental income of $288,000 and $996,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively; and had operating expenses of $352,000 and $1,364,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

Our property located in Englewood, Colorado with approximately 198,000 square feet of rentable space was 54.3% and 26.6% leased at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. A single tenant lease, for 100% of the rentable space, expired on April 30, 2010, and since then we have signed leases with various tenants. Rental revenue did not cover ordinary operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. The property generated rental income of $520,000 and $1,287,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively; and had operating expenses of $603,000 and 1,578,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the property generated rental income of $155,000 and had operating expenses of $564,000. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 the property had rental income sufficient to cover operating expenses.

Our property located in Federal Way, Washington with approximately 117,000 square feet of rentable space was 42.0% and 28.3% leased at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The property had rental revenue sufficient to cover operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. Rental revenue did not cover ordinary operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. The property generated rental income of $153,000 and $405,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and had ordinary operating expenses of $167,000 and $463,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Item 7A of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which is incorporated by reference. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2010.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2011. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2011, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There were no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, except to the extent previously updated or to the extent additional factual information disclosed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relates to such risk factors.
