Comparing results for the third quarter of 2008 to 2007, Net Income and EPS decreased $2.1 million or $0.03 per share, and FFO increased $0.2 million but was flat on a per share basis. There was no GOS in the third quarter of 2008 compared to $1.9 million, or $0.03 per share, in the third quarter of 2007. Comparing results for the third quarter of 2008 to 2007, the FFO increase was primarily a result of increases in real estate FFO of $0.6 million, which was partially offset by a decrease in FFO from investment banking of $0.4 million. Primarily as a result of these changes, FFO+GOS decreased $1.8 million or $0.02 per share comparing the third quarter of 2008 to 2007.

Comparing results for the nine months of 2008 to 2007, Net Income and EPS decreased $26.4 million or $0.38 per share, and FFO decreased $3.5 million or $0.05 per share. There was no GOS for the nine months of 2008 compared to $23.5 million or $0.33 per share in the nine months of 2007. Comparing results for the nine months of 2008 to 2007, the FFO decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in FFO from investment banking of $4.8 million, which was partially offset by increases in real estate FFO of $1.3 million. The FFO decrease from investment banking was primarily because of lower sales of securities by our investment bank, which decreased $61.8 million to $57.4 million for the nine months of 2008 compared to $119.2 million in the nine months of 2007. Revenue from our investment bank is primarily based on the value of these securities sales. As a result of these changes, FFO+GOS decreased $27.0 million or $0.38 per share comparing the nine months of 2008 to 2007.

George J. Carter, President and CEO, commented as follows:

"For the third quarter of 2008, FSP's profits as represented by FFO+GOS totaled approximately $17.1 million or $0.24 per share. Dividend distributions declared for the third quarter of 2008, which are payable on November 20, 2008, totaled approximately $13.4 million or $0.19 per share.

"Significant portions of our real estate investment business are transactional. Beginning in the third quarter of 2007, those transactional businesses became materially impacted by external financial, mortgage/debt and investment market conditions that have arisen from the 'credit crunch.' FSP has certain properties in its portfolio that we may contemplate selling but have not put up for sale because of these market conditions. Consequently, the third quarter of 2008 produced no GOS profit contribution. Changes in mortgage loan availability and changes in the cost of those loans continue to restrict many potential sales of commercial office buildings around the country. Rather than sell in this negative environment, FSP continues to postpone consideration of the sale of some properties until a more attractive environment establishes itself, particularly within the mortgage/debt markets. A time frame for improvement in these markets is hard to predict, especially with the uncertainty of how significant an impact the current financial market turmoil will have on broader U.S. economic activity. We are constantly evaluating property disposition opportunities, as well as potential new property acquisition opportunities that may present themselves at attractive prices.

"Additionally as a result of the turmoil in the financial, mortgage/debt and investment markets, the investor appetite for our real estate private placement business has suffered and continues to negatively affect our Investment Banking equity-raising efforts. During the third quarter of 2008, we raised $4.8 million of equity capital, compared with $49.9 million in the second quarter of 2008 and $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2008. Concern and uncertainty continues to surround the potential impact on commercial real estate emanating from the financial credit crisis and has caused a 'wait-and-see' attitude to prevail among many of our established investor clients. We anticipate business in this area to remain very volatile quarter-to-quarter as long as broader investment market activity and financial events continue to meaningfully sway investor confidence and sentiment.

"While profits continued to suffer in the third quarter of 2008 from our transactional businesses, which were negatively impacted by turmoil in the broader capital markets, our real estate portfolio of 27 properties maintained its overall 93% occupancy and provided steady rental income. FFO for the third quarter of 2008 was $0.24 per share, all of which came from real estate operations.

"On October 15, 2008, FSP used its balance sheet strength to obtain a $75 million unsecured term loan. The loan was provided by three banks that are participants in FSP's existing $250 million revolving line of credit facility. The purpose for the loan is to increase capital to take advantage of property acquisition opportunities that are beginning to present themselves at attractive prices as a result of the current distress surrounding some aspects of the broader commercial real estate markets.

"As the capital markets and U.S. economy work through the current financial/credit crisis, we will continue to pursue additional commercial property investment opportunities. It will be FSP's objective to continue to grow its property portfolio and rental income business during this period of liquidity-constrained capital markets by using its balance sheet strength to help finance and fund new acquisitions. We continue to be very optimistic about FSP's position in the current commercial real estate investment market and the opportunities that are presenting themselves to acquire commercial properties at better pricing and value metrics than we have seen in the last several years."

Dividend Announcement

On October 17, 2008, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a regularly quarterly dividend for the three months ended September 30, 2008 of $0.19 per share of common stock payable on November 20, 2008 to stockholders of record on October 31, 2008.

Real Estate Update

Supplementary Schedules D & E provide property information for our continuing real estate portfolio of 27 properties and for two non-consolidated REITs that we have interests in as of September 30, 2008. The Company is in the process of compiling an expanded supplemental information package that will provide stockholders and the financial community with additional operating and financial data. The Company expects to file this supplemental information package with the SEC and to post it to its website at www.franklinstreetproperties.com on or before Friday, November 7, 2008.

A reconciliation of Net Income to FFO and FFO+GOS is shown below and definitions of FFO and FFO+GOS are provided on Supplementary Schedule H. We believe FFO is used broadly throughout the real estate investment trust (REIT) industry as a measurement of performance and is generally calculated in a similar manner to our calculation. We also believe that FFO+GOS is an important measure as it considers investment performance.

              Franklin Street Properties Corp. Earnings Release
                         Supplementary Schedule H
                 Definition of Funds From Operations ("FFO"),
                     and FFO plus Gains on Sales ("FFO+GOS")

The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on several measures including, Funds From Operations ("FFO") and FFO plus Gains on Sales ("FFO+GOS") as management believes they represent important measures of activity and are an important consideration in determining distributions paid to equity holders. The Company defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, 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. The Company defines FFO+GOS as FFO as defined above, plus gains (or losses) from sales of properties and provisions for assets held for sale, if applicable.

FFO and FFO+GOS should not be considered as alternatives to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as indicators of the Company's financial performance, nor as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as measures of the Company's liquidity, nor are they necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company's needs. Other real estate companies may define these terms in a different manner. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the results of the Company, FFO and FFO+GOS should be examined in connection with net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in the consolidated financial statements.
