Franklin Street Properties Corp. (the “Company”, “FSP”, “we” or “our”) (NYSE MKT: FSP) is a real estate investment trust that owns and operates a portfolio of high-quality office buildings in select major markets in the U.S. We are focused on long-term value creation, as well as achieving current income, through investments in select urban infill and central business district (CBD) commercial properties, with primary emphasis on our top five core markets of Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Houston and Minneapolis. As of December 31, 2013, FSP owned 39 office properties in 13 states, consisting of approximately 9.7 million rentable square feet. More specifically, approximately 70% of FSP’s owned portfolio (in square feet) is within our top five core markets. FSP’s portfolio was approximately 94.1% leased as of December 31, 2013. The principal revenue sources from our real estate operations include rental income from tenants who lease our office space, interest income from secured loans made on office properties and fee income from asset/property management. In order to create value for shareholders, the Company seeks to grow revenue through higher occupancies in its owned portfolio, increasing rents on new and renewal leases, and by acquiring additional high-quality assets below replacement cost with some amount of existing vacancy that can be leased up over time. The Company also continuously reviews and evaluates its real estate property portfolio for potentially advantageous dispositions. Based in Wakefield, Massachusetts, FSP is a Maryland corporation. The Company was originally founded in 1997 and has been publicly-traded since mid-2005.

To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. - Henry David Thoreau As we learn each day about our collective responsibility to our environment, FSP is committed to creating a pathway from our habits and repeating them to positively impact the environment. We are continuing to analyze FSP’s consumption and footprint as we look much more closely at our direct and indirect uses of natural resources. FSP continues to review our portfolio as we monitor each property’s consumption with goals of “taking only what you need” and “reducing what you need”. The sustainability of our commercial real estate portfolio is an area One product of FSP’s recent sustainability initiatives has been of central importance to FSP. The measurement, benchmarking and the implementation of a Demand Response Program. Participating analysis of the energy, water and waste consumption at our buildings provide valuable information that allows us to best target which assets will benefit most from applying additional sustainability measures and ultimately have the most positive impact on the environment and the Company. FSP’s properties continue to be active participants in both the EPA’s ENERGY STAR program as well as the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) rating system. A significant percentage of FSP’s owned or asset-managed buildings have earned the ENERGY STAR label, denoting that their energy performance is among the top 25% of similar properties. properties identified short-term energy reduction measures that could be quickly implemented in the event of a grid emergency. In addition to helping to prevent local brownouts and reduce the need for future power generators, participating properties receive regular quarterly payments. FSP plans to expand participation in this program as grid operators and utilities open new demand response markets. During the past year, FSP piloted a virtually real-time energy- monitoring program at six of our properties. Large amounts of electricity usage data are being analyzed by an energy analyst with Through LEED, many of FSP’s properties have been recognized the goal of finding greater operating efficiencies. The initial results for superior site and water management, material use and indoor have been very promising, and FSP is in the process of evaluating the environmental quality. program’s viability to roll out further across the portfolio. As part of FSP’s commitment to sustainability issues, the Company has formed a Sustainability Committee that is comprised of members of senior management, as well as a LEED AP. The Sustainability Committee is dedicated to creating and forming sustainability-related policies, goals, and practices for the Company and our properties. FSP Through the employment of modern technologies, participation in multiple benchmarking programs, as well as the sharing of best practices, FSP is provided with numerous opportunities for continuing improvement. Such measures support FSP’s objective of ongoing aims to achieve both economic and community-based benefits from enhancement to our portfolio of commercial real estate in order to such efforts. 4 40335narcx.indd 6 reduce our environmental footprint and maximize investor returns. 3/7/14 5:31 PM Creating Value 1001 17th Street, Denver 40335narcx.indd 7 5 3/7/14 5:31 PM Creating Value Highlights Dividends Paid (per share) as of December 31 as of December 31 $0.76 $0.76 $0.76 Leased Percentage as of December 31 as of December 31 89% 94% 94% 2011 2012 2013 2011 2012 2013 Funds from Operations (FFO)* (per share) as of December 31 Total Market Capitalization (TMC)** as of December 31 $0.89 $0.97 $1.07 $2,123,739 $1,637,709 $1,274,227 2011 2012 2013 2011 2012 2013 Balance Sheet Data – Year Ended December 31 (In thousands, except per share amounts) Total assets Total liabilities Total shareholders’ equity 2011 2012 2013 $ 1,407,348 $ 1,526,068 $ 2,044,034 485,981 921,367 661,319 993,868 864,749 1,050,166 Shares outstanding at year-end 82,937 82,937 100,187 Shareholders’ equity per share $ 11.11 $ 10.42 $ 10.48 Dividends paid for the year ended December 31 $ 62,177 $ 63,032 $ 69,588 * FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure currently used in the real estate industry that we believe provides useful information to investors.

Business History Our company, Franklin Street Properties Corp., which we refer to as FSP Corp., the Company, we or our, is a Maryland corporation that operates in a manner intended to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes. Our common stock is traded on the NYSE MKT under the symbol “FSP”. FSP Corp. is the successor to Franklin Street Partners Limited Partnership, or the FSP Partnership, which was originally formed as a Massachusetts general partnership in January 1997 as the successor to a Massachusetts general partnership that was formed in 1981. On January 1, 2002, the FSP Partnership converted into FSP Corp., which we refer to as the conversion. As a result of this conversion, the FSP Partnership ceased to exist and we succeeded to the business of the FSP Partnership. In the conversion, each unit of both general and limited partnership interests in the FSP Partnership was converted into one share of our common stock. As a result of the conversion, we hold, directly and indirectly, 100% of the interest in three former subsidiaries of the FSP Partnership: FSP Investments LLC, FSP Property Management LLC, and FSP Holdings LLC. We operate some of our business through these subsidiaries. Our Business We are a REIT focused on commercial real estate investments primarily in office markets and currently operate in only one segment: real estate operations. The principal revenue sources for our real estate operations include rental income from real estate leasing, interest income from secured loans made on office properties and fee income from asset/property management. Previously we also operated in an investment banking segment, which was discontinued in December 2011. Our investment banking segment generated brokerage commissions, loan origination fees, development services and other fees related to the organization of single-purpose entities that own real estate and the private placement of equity in those entities. We refer to these entities which are organized as corporations and operated in a manner intended to qualify as REITs, as Sponsored REITs. On December 15, 2011, we announced that our broker/dealer subsidiary, FSP Investments LLC, would no longer sponsor the syndication of shares of preferred stock in newly- formed 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. From time-to-time we may acquire real estate or invest in real estate by making secured loans on real estate or by acquiring our Sponsored REITs, although we have no legal or any other enforceable obligation to acquire or to offer to acquire any Sponsored REIT. We may also pursue on a selective basis the sale of our properties to take advantage of the value creation and demand for our properties, or for geographic or property specific reasons. Real Estate We own and operate a portfolio of real estate consisting of 39 office properties as of December 31, 2013. We derive rental revenue from income paid to us by tenants of these properties. See Item 2 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information about our properties. From time-to-time we dispose of properties generating gains or losses in an ongoing effort to improve and upgrade our portfolio. We also held preferred stock investments in two Sponsored REITs as of December 31, 2013, from which we record our share of income or loss under the equity method of accounting, and from which we receive dividends. We provide asset management, property management, property accounting, investor and/or development services to our portfolio and certain of our Sponsored REITs through our subsidiaries FSP Investments LLC and FSP Property Management LLC. FSP Corp. recognizes revenue from its receipt of fee income from Sponsored REITs that have not been consolidated or acquired by us. Neither FSP Investments LLC nor FSP Property Management LLC receives any rental income. From time-to-time we may make secured loans to Sponsored REITs in the form of mortgage loans or revolving lines of credit to fund construction costs, capital expenditures, leasing costs and for other purposes. We anticipate that these loans will be repaid at their maturity or earlier from long-term financings of the underlying 1 properties, cash flows from the underlying properties or some other capital event. We refer to these loans as Sponsored REIT Loans. We have six Sponsored REIT Loans secured by real estate outstanding as of December 31, 2013, from which we derive interest income. Investment Objectives Our investment objectives are to create shareholder value by increasing revenue from rental, dividend and interest income and net gains from sales of properties and increase the cash available for distribution in the form of dividends to our stockholders. We expect that we will continue to derive real estate revenue from Sponsored REIT Loans and fees from asset management, property management and investor services. We may also acquire additional real properties by direct purchase or by acquisition of Sponsored REITs, though we have no obligation to acquire or offer to acquire any Sponsored REIT in the future. From time to time, as market conditions warrant, we may sell properties owned by us. We sold one office property located in Richardson, Texas on October 29, 2013 at a gain and one office property located in Southfield, Michigan on December 21, 2012 at a loss. We sold one industrial property located in Savage, Maryland on June 24, 2011, and one office property located in Falls Church, Virginia on January 21, 2011, each at a gain. When we sell a property, we either distribute some or all of the sale proceeds to our stockholders as a distribution or retain some or all of such proceeds for investment in real properties or other corporate activities. We may acquire, and have acquired, real properties in any geographic area of the United States and of any property type. We own 39 properties that are located in 13 different states. See Item 2 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information about our properties. We rely on the following principles in selecting real properties for acquisition by FSP Corp. and managing them after acquisition: (cid:120) we seek to buy or develop investment properties at a price which produces value for investors and avoid overpaying for real estate merely to outbid competitors; (cid:120) we seek to buy or develop properties in excellent locations with substantial infrastructure in place around them and avoid investing in locations where the future construction of such infrastructure is speculative; (cid:120) we seek to buy or develop properties that are well-constructed and designed to appeal to a broad base of users and avoid properties where quality has been sacrificed for cost savings in construction or which appeal only to a narrow group of users; (cid:120) we aggressively manage, maintain and upgrade our properties and refuse to neglect or undercapitalize management, maintenance and capital improvement programs; and (cid:120) we believe that we have the ability to hold properties through down cycles because we generally do not have significant leverage on the Company, which could place the properties at risk of foreclosure. As of February 14, 2014, none of our 39 properties was subject to mortgage debt. Competition With respect to our real estate investments, we face competition in each of the markets where our properties are located. In order to establish, maintain or increase the rental revenues for a property, it must be competitive on location, cost and amenities with other buildings of similar use. Some of our competitors may have significantly more resources than we do and may be able to offer more attractive rental rates or services. On the other hand, some of our competitors may be smaller or have less fixed overhead costs, less cash or other resources that make them willing or able to accept lower rents in order to maintain a certain occupancy level. In markets where there is not currently significant existing property competition, our competitors may decide to enter the market and build new buildings to compete with our existing projects or those in a development stage. Our competition is not only with other developers, but also with property users who choose to own their building or a portion of the building in the form of an office condominium. Competitive conditions are affected by larger market forces beyond our control, such as general economic conditions, that may increase competition among landlords for quality tenants, and individual decisions by tenants that are beyond our control. 2 Employees We had 37 employees as of December 31, 2013 and 38 employees as of February 14, 2014.

Economic conditions in the United States could have a material adverse impact on our earnings and financial condition. Because economic conditions in the United States may affect real estate values, occupancy levels and property income, current and future economic conditions in the United States could have a material adverse impact on our earnings and financial condition. The economy in the United States is continuing to experience a period of limited economic growth, including high levels of unemployment and increased credit risk premiums for a number of market participants. These conditions may continue or worsen in the future. Economic conditions may be 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, fiscal policy uncertainty, geopolitical events, changes in government regulations, regulatory uncertainty, the availability of debt and interest rate fluctuations. 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 earnings and financial condition. If a Sponsored REIT defaults on a Sponsored REIT Loan, we may be required to keep a balance outstanding on our unsecured credit facilities or use our cash balance to repay our unsecured credit facilities, which may reduce cash available for distribution to our stockholders or for other corporate purposes. From time-to-time, we may draw on our 2012 Credit Facility (as defined in Note 5) or 2013 Term Loan (as defined in Note 5) to make secured loans to Sponsored REITs in the form of mortgage loans or revolving lines of credit to fund construction costs, capital expenditures, leasing costs and for other purposes. We refer to these loans as Sponsored REIT Loans. 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 some other capital event. If a Sponsored REIT defaults on a Sponsored REIT Loan, the Sponsored REIT could be unable to fully repay the Sponsored REIT Loan and we would have to satisfy our obligation under the 2012 Credit Facility and/or the 2013 Term Loan through other means. If we are required to use cash for this purpose, we would have less cash available for distribution to our stockholders or for other corporate purposes. Our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected if we are unable to refinance the 2012 Credit Facility or 2013 Term Loan. There can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance the revolving line of credit portion of our 2012 Credit Facility upon its maturity on September 27, 2016 (subject to extension until September 27, 2017), the term loan portion of our 2012 Credit Facility upon its maturity on September 27, 2017 or the 2013 Term Loan upon its maturity on August 26, 2020, that any such refinancings would be on terms as favorable as the terms of the 2012 Credit Facility or 2013 Term Loan, or that we will be able to otherwise obtain funds by selling assets or raising equity to make required payments on the 2012 Credit Facility or the 2013 Term Loan. If we are unable to refinance the 2012 Credit Facility or 2013 Term Loan at maturity or meet our payment obligations, the amount of our distributable cash flow and our financial condition would be adversely affected. Failure to comply with covenants in our 2012 Credit Facility and 2013 Term Loan credit agreements could adversely affect our financial condition. Our 2012 Credit Facility and 2013 Term Loan credit agreements contain customary restrictions, requirements and other limitations on our ability to incur indebtedness, including maximum leverage ratios, maximum secured leverage ratios, minimum fixed charge coverage ratios, maximum unencumbered leverage ratios and minimum unsecured debt service coverage ratios, which we must maintain. Our continued ability to borrow under the 2012 Credit Facility and 2013 Term Loan is subject to compliance with our financial and other covenants. Failure to comply with such covenants could cause a default under the 2012 Credit Facility or 2013 Term Loan, and 7 we may then be required to repay either or both of them with capital from other sources. Under those circumstances, other sources of capital may not be available to us, or be available only on unattractive terms. We may use the 2012 Credit Facility or 2013 Term Loan to purchase properties directly for our real estate portfolio, to make Sponsored REIT Loans or for other corporate purposes. If we breach covenants in our 2012 Credit Facility or 2013 Term Loan credit agreements, the lenders can declare a default. A default under our 2012 Credit Facility or 2013 Term Loan credit agreements could result in difficulty financing growth in our business and could also result in a reduction in the cash available for distribution to our stockholders or for other corporate purposes. A default under our 2012 Credit Facility or 2013 Term Loan credit agreements could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. An increase in interest rates would increase our interest costs on variable rate debt and could adversely impact our ability to refinance existing debt or sell assets. As of December 31, 2013, we had approximately $306.5 million of indebtedness under the revolving line of credit portion of our 2012 Credit Facility that bears interest at variable rates, and we may incur more of such indebtedness in the future. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit portion of our 2012 Credit Facility may not exceed $500 million outstanding at any time, although such amount may be increased by up to an additional $250 million through the exercise of an accordion feature. The term loan portion of our 2012 Credit Facility is for $400 million. On September 27, 2012, we fixed the base LIBOR rate on the term loan portion of our 2012 Credit Facility at 0.75% for five years by entering into an interest rate swap agreement. The 2013 Term Loan is for $220 million, although such amount may be increased by up to an additional $50 million through the exercise of an accordion feature. On August 26, 2013, we fixed the base LIBOR rate on the 2013 Term Loan at 2.32% for seven years by entering into an interest rate swap agreement. In the future, if interest rates increase, then so will the interest costs on our unhedged variable rate debt, which could adversely affect our cash flow, our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and our ability to make distributions to stockholders. In addition, rising interest rates could limit our ability to both incur new debt and to refinance existing debt when it matures. From time to time, we may enter into interest rate swap agreements and other interest rate hedging contracts, including swaps, caps and floors. While these agreements are intended to lessen the impact of rising interest rates on us, they also expose us to the risks that the other parties to the agreements will not perform, we could incur significant costs associated with the settlement of the agreements, the agreements will be unenforceable and the underlying transactions will fail to qualify as highly- effective cash flow hedges. In addition, an increase in interest rates could decrease the amount third parties are willing to pay for our assets, thereby limiting our ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions If we are not able to collect sufficient rents from each of our owned real properties, investments in Sponsored REITs or interest on Sponsored REIT Loans we fund, we may suffer significant operating losses or a reduction in cash available for future dividends. A substantial portion of our revenue is generated by the rental income of our real properties and investments in Sponsored REITs. If our properties do not provide us with a steady rental income or we do not collect interest income from Sponsored REIT Loans we fund, our revenues will decrease, which may cause us to incur operating losses in the future and reduce the cash available for distribution to our stockholders. We may not be able to find properties that meet our criteria for purchase. Growth in our portfolio of real estate is dependent on the ability of our acquisition executives to find properties for sale and/or development which meet the applicable investment criteria. To the extent they fail to find such properties, we would be unable to increase the size of our portfolio of real estate, which could reduce the cash otherwise available for distribution to our stockholders. We are dependent on key personnel. We depend on the efforts of George J. Carter, our President and Chief Executive Officer and a Director; Barbara J. Fournier, our Chief Operating Officer, Treasurer, Secretary, an Executive Vice President and a Director; John G. Demeritt, our Chief Financial Officer and an Executive Vice President; Jeffery B. Carter, our Chief 8 Investment Officer and an Executive Vice President; Janet Prier Notopoulos, an Executive Vice President and a Director; and Scott H. Carter, our General Counsel, Assistant Secretary and an Executive Vice President. If any of our executive officers were to resign, our operations could be adversely affected. We do not have employment agreements with any of our executive officers. Our level of dividends may fluctuate. Because our real estate occupancy levels and rental rates can fluctuate, there is no predictable recurring level of revenue from such activities. As a result of this, the amount of cash available for distribution may fluctuate, which may result in our not being able to maintain or grow dividend levels in the future. We face risks from tenant defaults or bankruptcies. 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. The real properties held by us may significantly decrease in value. As of February 14, 2014, we owned 39 properties. Some or all of these properties may decline in value. To the extent our real properties decline in value, our stockholders could lose some or all of the value of their investments. The value of our common stock may be adversely affected if the real properties held by us decline in value since these real properties represent the majority of the tangible assets held by us. Moreover, if we are forced to sell or lease the real property held by us below its initial purchase price or its carrying costs, respectively, or if we are forced to lease real property at below market rates because of the condition of the property, our results of operations would be adversely affected and such negative results of operations may result in lower dividends being paid to holders of our common stock. New acquisitions may fail to perform as expected. We may acquire new properties by direct FSP Corp. purchase, by acquisition of Sponsored REITs or by acquisition of other entities. We may purchase these properties with cash, by drawing on the revolving line of credit portion of our 2012 Credit Facility, by assuming existing indebtedness, by entering into new indebtedness, by issuing shares of our stock or by other means. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we acquired one property in Georgia and two properties in Colorado. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we acquired one property located in Georgia and one property located in Texas. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we acquired one property in North Carolina, one property in Illinois and three properties in Texas. Newly acquired properties may fail to perform as expected, in which case, our results of operations could be adversely affected. We face risks in owning, developing and operating real property. An investment in us is subject to the risks incident to the ownership, development and operation of real estate-related assets. These risks include the fact that real estate investments are generally illiquid, which may affect our ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions, as well as the risks normally associated with: (cid:120) (cid:120) (cid:120) (cid:120) (cid:120) (cid:120) changes in general and local economic conditions; the supply or demand for particular types of properties in particular markets; changes in market rental rates; the impact of environmental protection laws; changes in tax, real estate and zoning laws; and the impact of obligations and restrictions contained in title-related documents. Certain significant costs, such as real estate taxes, utilities, insurance and maintenance costs, generally are not reduced even when a property’s rental income is reduced. In addition, environmental and tax laws, interest rate 9 levels, the availability of financing and other factors may affect real estate values and property income. Furthermore, the supply of commercial space fluctuates with market conditions. We may encounter significant delays in reletting vacant space, resulting in losses of income. When leases expire, we may incur expenses and may not be able to re-lease the space on the same terms. While we cannot predict when existing vacancy 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 current market rates for locations in which the buildings are located, which in some cases may be below the expiring rates. Certain leases provide tenants the right to terminate early if they pay a fee. If we are unable to re-lease space promptly, if the terms are significantly less favorable than anticipated or if the costs are higher, we may have to reduce distributions to our stockholders. This risk is currently heightened because the economy in the United States is continuing to experience a period of limited economic growth, including 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. These conditions may continue or worsen in the future. Typical lease terms range from five to ten years, so up to approximately 20% of our rental revenue from commercial properties could be expected to expire each year. We face risks of tenant-type concentration. As of December 31, 2013, our top twenty tenants leased, based on leased square feet, held approximately 38.4% of the total rentable square feet in our owned portfolio of properties. Approximately 26.0% and 20.02% of our top twenty tenants as a percentage of the top twenty tenants rentable square feet (or 10.1% and 7.7% of the total rentable square feet in our portfolio) operated in the energy services industry and the bank and credit services industry, respectively. An economic downturn in these or any industry in which a high concentration of our tenants operate or in which a significant number of our tenants currently or may in the future operate, could negatively impact the financial condition of such tenants and cause them to fail to make timely rental payments or default on lease obligations, fail to renew their leases or renew their leases on terms less favorable to us, become bankrupt or insolvent, or otherwise become unable to satisfy their obligations to us, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We face risks from geographic concentration. The properties in our portfolio as of December 31, 2013, by aggregate square footage, are distributed geographically as follows: South – 42.8%, West – 25.0%, Midwest – 17.3% and East – 14.9%. However, within certain of those regions, we hold a larger concentration of our properties in Greater Denver, Colorado – 20.7%, Atlanta, Georgia – 14.4%, Dallas, Texas – 13.9% and Houston, Texas – 12.3%. We are likely to face risks to the extent that any of these areas in which we hold a larger concentration of our properties suffer deteriorating economic conditions. We compete with national, regional and local real estate operators and developers, which could adversely affect our cash flow. Competition exists in every market in which our properties are currently located and in every market in which properties we may acquire in the future will be located. We compete with, among others, national, regional and numerous local real estate operators and developers. Such competition may adversely affect the percentage of leased space and the rental revenues of our properties, which could adversely affect our cash flow from operations and our ability to make expected distributions to our stockholders. Some of our competitors may have more resources than we do or other competitive advantages. Competition may be accelerated by any increase in availability of funds for investment in real estate. For example, decreases in interest rates tend to increase the availability of funds and therefore can increase competition. To the extent that our properties continue to operate profitably, this will likely stimulate new development of competing properties. The extent to which we are affected by competition will depend in significant part on both local market conditions and national and global economic conditions. 10 We are subject to possible liability relating to environmental matters, and we cannot assure you that we have identified all possible liabilities. Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real property may become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous substances released on or in its property. Such laws may impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or caused, the release of such hazardous substances. The presence of hazardous substances on a property may adversely affect the owner’s ability to sell such property or to borrow using such property as collateral, and it may cause the owner of the property to incur substantial remediation costs. In addition to claims for cleanup costs, the presence of hazardous substances on a property could result in the owner incurring substantial liabilities as a result of a claim by a private party for personal injury or a claim by an adjacent property owner for property damage. In addition, we cannot assure you that: (cid:120) (cid:120) (cid:120) (cid:120) (cid:120) future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability; proposed legislation to address climate change will not increase utility and other costs of operating our properties which, if not offset by rising rental income and/or paid by tenants, would materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations; the current environmental conditions of our properties will not be affected by the condition of properties in the vicinity of such properties (such as the presence of leaking underground storage tanks) or by third parties unrelated to us; tenants will not violate their leases by introducing hazardous or toxic substances into our properties that could expose us to liability under federal or state environmental laws; or environmental conditions, such as the growth of bacteria and toxic mold in heating and ventilation systems or on walls, will not occur at our properties and pose a threat to human health. We are subject to compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act and fire and safety regulations, any of which could require us to make significant capital expenditures. All of our properties are required to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), and the regulations, rules and orders that may be issued thereunder. The ADA has separate compliance requirements for “public accommodations” and “commercial facilities,” but generally requires that buildings be made accessible to persons with disabilities. Compliance with ADA requirements might require, among other things, removal of access barriers and noncompliance could result in the imposition of fines by the U.S. government or an award of damages to private litigants. In addition, we are required to operate our properties in compliance with fire and safety regulations, building codes and other land use regulations, as they may be adopted by governmental agencies and bodies and become applicable to our properties. Compliance with such requirements may require us to make substantial capital expenditures, which expenditures would reduce cash otherwise available for distribution to our stockholders. We face risks associated with our tenants being designated “Prohibited Persons” by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. Pursuant to Executive Order 13224 and other laws, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury, or OFAC, maintains a list of persons designated as terrorists or who are otherwise blocked or banned, which we refer to as Prohibited Persons. OFAC regulations and other laws prohibit conducting business or engaging in transactions with Prohibited Persons (the “OFAC Requirements”). Our current leases and certain other agreements require the other party to comply with the OFAC Requirements. If a tenant or other party with whom we contract is placed on the OFAC list we may be required by the OFAC Requirements to terminate the lease or other agreement. Any such termination could result in a loss of revenue or a damage claim by the other party that the termination was wrongful. Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our information and expose us to liability, which could cause our business and reputation to suffer. 11 In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive data concerning investors in the Sponsored REITS, tenants and vendors. Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions. Any such breach could compromise our networks and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings and liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, and could damage our reputation. Actual or threatened terrorist attacks may adversely affect our ability to generate revenues and the value of our properties. (cid:3)(cid:3) We have significant investments in markets that may be the targets of actual or threatened terrorism attacks in the future. As a result, some tenants in these markets may choose to relocate their businesses to other markets or to lower-profile office buildings within these markets that may be perceived to be less likely targets of future terrorist activity. This could result in an overall decrease in the demand for office space in these markets generally or in our properties in particular, which could increase vacancies in our properties or necessitate that we lease our properties on less favorable terms or both. In addition, future terrorist attacks in these markets could directly or indirectly damage our properties, both physically and financially, or cause losses that materially exceed our insurance coverage. As a result of the foregoing, our ability to generate revenues and the value of our properties could decline materially. See also “We may lose capital investment or anticipated profits if an uninsured event occurs.” (cid:3) We may lose capital investment or anticipated profits if an uninsured event occurs. We carry, or our tenants carry, comprehensive liability, fire and extended coverage with respect to each of our properties, with policy specification and insured limits customarily carried for similar properties. There are, however, certain types of losses that may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Should an uninsured material loss occur, we could lose both capital invested in the property and anticipated profits. Contingent or unknown liabilities acquired in mergers or similar transactions could require us to make substantial payments. The properties which we acquired in mergers were acquired subject to liabilities and without any recourse with respect to liabilities, whether known or unknown. As a result, if liabilities were asserted against us based upon any of these properties, we might have to pay substantial sums to settle them, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition and our cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Unknown liabilities with respect to properties acquired might include: (cid:120) (cid:120) (cid:120) liabilities for clean-up or remediation of environmental conditions; claims of tenants, vendors or other persons dealing with the former owners of the properties; and liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business. Our employee retention plan may prevent changes in control. During February 2006, our Board of Directors approved a change in control plan, which included a form of retention agreement and discretionary payment plan. Payments under the discretionary plan are capped at 1% of the market capitalization of FSP Corp. as reduced by the amount paid under the retention plan. The costs associated with these two components of the plan may have the effect of discouraging a third party from making an acquisition proposal for us and may thereby inhibit a change in control under circumstances that could otherwise give the holders of our common stock the opportunity to realize a greater premium over the then-prevailing market prices. Further issuances of equity securities may be dilutive to current stockholders. The interests of our existing stockholders could be diluted if additional equity securities are issued to finance future acquisitions, repay indebtedness or to fund other general corporate purposes. Our ability to execute 12 our business strategy depends on our access to an appropriate blend of debt financing, including unsecured lines of credit and other forms of secured and unsecured debt, and equity financing. The price of our common stock may vary. The market prices for our common stock may fluctuate with changes in market and economic conditions, including the market perception of REITs in general, and changes in the financial condition of our securities. Such fluctuations may depress the market price of our common stock independent of the financial performance of FSP Corp. The market conditions for REIT stocks generally could affect the market price of our common stock. We would incur adverse tax consequences if we failed to qualify as a REIT. The provisions of the tax code governing the taxation of real estate investment trusts are very technical and complex, and although we expect that we will be organized and will operate in a manner that will enable us to meet such requirements, no assurance can be given that we will always succeed in doing so. In addition, as a result of our past acquisition of certain Sponsored REITs by merger, which we refer to as target REITs, we might no longer qualify as a real estate investment trust. We could lose our ability to so qualify for a variety of reasons relating to the nature of the assets acquired from the target REITs, the identity of the stockholders of the target REITs who become our stockholders or the failure of one or more of the target REITs to have previously qualified as a real estate investment trust. Moreover, you should note that if one or more of the target REITs that we acquired in May 2008, April 2006, April 2005 or June 2003 did not qualify as a REIT immediately prior to the consummation of its acquisition, we could be disqualified as a REIT as a result of such acquisition. If in any taxable year we do not qualify as a real estate investment trust, we would be taxed as a corporation and distributions to our stockholders would not be deductible by us in computing our taxable income. In addition, if we were to fail to qualify as a real estate investment trust, we could be disqualified from treatment as a real estate investment trust in the year in which such failure occurred and for the next four taxable years and, consequently, we would be taxed as a regular corporation during such years. Failure to qualify for even one taxable year could result in a significant reduction of our cash available for distribution to our stockholders or could require us to incur indebtedness or liquidate investments in order to generate sufficient funds to pay the resulting federal income tax liabilities. Provisions in our organizational documents may prevent changes in control. Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions, described below, which may have the effect of discouraging a third party from making an acquisition proposal for us and may thereby inhibit a change of control under circumstances that could otherwise give the holders of our common stock the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market prices. Ownership Limits. In order for us to maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust, the holders of our common stock may be limited to owning, either directly or under applicable attribution rules of the Internal Revenue Code, no more than 9.8% of the lesser of the value or the number of our equity shares, and no holder of common stock may acquire or transfer shares that would result in our shares of common stock being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons. Such ownership limit may have the effect of preventing an acquisition of control of us without the approval of our board of directors. Our Articles of Incorporation give our board of directors the right to refuse to give effect to the acquisition or transfer of shares by a stockholder in violation of these provisions. Staggered Board. Our board of directors is divided into three classes. The terms of these classes will expire in 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. Directors of each class are elected for a three-year term upon the expiration of the initial term of each class. The staggered terms for directors may affect our stockholders’ ability to effect a change in control even if a change in control were in the stockholders’ best interests. Preferred Stock. Our Articles of Incorporation authorize our board of directors to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001 per share, and to establish the preferences and rights of any such shares issued. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control even if a change in control were in our stockholders’ best interest. 13 Increase of Authorized Stock. Our board of directors, without any vote or consent of the stockholders, may increase the number of authorized shares of any class or series of stock or the aggregate number of authorized shares we have authority to issue. The ability to increase the number of authorized shares and issue such shares could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control even if a change in control were in our stockholders’ best interest. Amendment of Bylaws. Our board of directors has the sole power to amend our Bylaws. This power could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control even if a change in control were in our stockholders’ best interests. Stockholder Meetings. Our Bylaws require advance notice for stockholder proposals to be considered at annual meetings of stockholders and for stockholder nominations for election of directors at special meetings of stockholders. The advance notice provisions require a proponent to provide us with detailed information about the proponent and/or nominee. Our Bylaws also provide that stockholders entitled to cast more than 50% of all the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting must join in a request by stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders and that a specific process for the meeting request must be followed. These provisions could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control even if a change in control were in the best interests of our stockholders. Supermajority Votes Required. Our Articles of Incorporation require the affirmative vote of the holders of no less than 80% of the shares of capital stock outstanding and entitled to vote in order (i) to amend the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation relating to the classification of directors, removal of directors, limitation of liability of officers and directors or indemnification of officers and directors or (ii) to amend our Articles of Incorporation to impose cumulative voting in the election of directors. These provisions could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control even if a change in control were in our stockholders’ best interest. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

Overview FSP Corp., or we, operate in the real estate operations segment. The real estate operations segment involves real estate rental operations, leasing, secured financing of real estate and services provided for asset management, property management, property acquisitions, dispositions and development. Our current strategy is to invest in select urban infill and central business district properties, with primary emphasis on our top five markets of Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Houston and Minneapolis. We believe that our top five markets have macro-economic drivers that have the potential to increase occupancies and rents. We will also monitor San Diego, Silicon Valley, Greater Boston, Raleigh-Durham, and Greater Washington, DC, as well as other markets, for opportunistic investments. FSP Corp. seeks value-oriented investments with an eye towards long-term growth and appreciation, as well as current income. 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 broader economic/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. Trends and Uncertainties Economic Conditions The economy in the United States is continuing to experience a period of limited economic growth, including relatively high levels of unemployment, which directly affects the demand for office space, our primary income producing asset. 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 economic growth and/or recessionary concerns, uncertainty about government fiscal and tax policy, changes in currency exchange rates, geopolitical events, the regulatory environment, the availability of debt and interest rate fluctuations. However, we believe that unemployment rates have begun to trend lower. We also believe that the Federal Reserve Bank’s tapering program in December 2013 has been generally received as a harbinger of real improvement in the economy, which could bode well for our real estate operations. We could benefit from any further improved economic fundamentals and increasing levels of employment. We believe that the economy could be in the early stages of a cyclically-slower but prolonged broad-based upswing. However, future economic factors may negatively affect real estate values, occupancy levels and property income. Real Estate Operations Leasing 24 Our real estate portfolio was approximately 94.1% leased as of December 31, 2013 and approximately 94.0% leased as of December 31, 2012. The 0.1% increase in leased space was from leasing accomplished during 2013 and was partially offset by the effect on our overall leased % from an acquisition with a lower amount of leased space. On August 28, 2013 we acquired a 655,565 square foot office building in Denver, Colorado that was 88.5% leased at the time of acquisition. We believe this property offers an excellent opportunity to increase occupancy and rental income stream within a vibrant and growing Denver central business district office market, creating incremental value for the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we leased approximately 912,000 square feet of office space, of which approximately 645,000 square feet were with existing tenants, at a weighted average term of 7.21 years. On average, tenant improvements for such leases were $18.25 per square foot, lease commissions were $8.48 per square foot and rent concessions were approximately three months of free rent. Average GAAP base rents under such leases were $23.33 per square foot, or 8.0% higher than average rents in the respective properties as applicable compared to the year ended December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2013, leases for approximately 5.6% and 9.5% of the square footage in our portfolio are scheduled to expire during 2014 and 2015, respectively. As 2014 begins, we believe that our property portfolio is well stabilized, with a balanced lease expiration schedule. We believe that most of our largest property markets are now experiencing positive trends in both occupancies and rental rates. We believe our property portfolio has improved our occupancy levels and should allow overall tenant improvement expenditures and leasing costs to moderate in relation to the level of rental revenues being achieved as we look ahead. 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 could 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 Acquisition and Investment Activity During 2013: (cid:120) on May 22, we acquired an office property with approximately 680,277 rentable square feet of space for $183.0 million located in the central business district of Denver, Colorado; on July 1, we acquired an office property with approximately 621,007 rentable square feet for $157.9 million located in the midtown submarket of Atlanta, Georgia; on August 28, we acquired an office property with approximately 655,565 rentable square feet of space for $217.0 million located in the central business district of Denver, Colorado; on December 6, we received approximately $2.35 million from FSP 505 Waterford Corp. as repayment in full of a Sponsored REIT Loan; and funded advances on Sponsored REIT Loans for revolving lines of credit in the aggregate amount of approximately $8.2 million. (cid:120) (cid:120) (cid:120) (cid:120) During 2012, we: (cid:120) (cid:120) (cid:120) acquired two properties directly into our portfolio with a total of approximately 1,016,000 rentable square feet at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $207.6 million. On July 31, 2012, we acquired an office property with approximately 387,000 square feet for approximately $52.8 million in Atlanta, Georgia and on November 1, 2012 we acquired an office property with approximately 629,000 square feet for approximately $154.8 million in Houston, Texas. funded advances on Sponsored REIT Loans for revolving lines of credit of an aggregate of approximately $41.6 million including $30 million during March 2012 to FSP 50 South Tenth Street Corp., and $11.6 million for revolving lines of credit made during the year ended December 31, 2012; received repayments on Sponsored REIT Loans of $121.2 million, including $106.2 million on July 27, 2012 from a first mortgage loan on a property owned by FSP 50 South Tenth Street 25 Corp., and $15.0 million on December 20, 2012 from a secured revolving line of credit with FSP Phoenix Tower Corp.; (cid:120) made and funded a Sponsored REIT Loan on July 5, 2012, in the form of a first mortgage loan in the principal amount of $33 million to a wholly-owned subsidiary of a Sponsored REIT, FSP Energy Tower I Corp., which owns a property in Houston, Texas. During 2011, we: (cid:120) we acquired five properties directly into our portfolio with an aggregate of approximately 994,000 rentable square feet at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $214.2 million. On March 4, 2011 we acquired a commercial property with approximately 260,000 rentable square feet for approximately $75.8 million in North Carolina, on March 10, 2011, we acquired a commercial property with approximately 203,000 rentable square feet for approximately $37.0 million in Texas, on March 24, 2011, we acquired another commercial property with approximately 214,000 rentable square feet for approximately $53.0 million in Texas, on September 30, 2011 we acquired a property with approximately 195,000 rentable square feet for approximately $37.1 million in Illinois and on October 6, 2011 we acquired another commercial property with approximately 122,000 rentable square feet for approximately $11.3 million in Texas; and funded advances on Sponsored REIT Loans of an aggregate of approximately $82.8 million including $76.2 million on December 29, 2011, for a first mortgage loan on a property owned by FSP 50 South Tenth Street Corp., which was repaid in 2012 and $6.6 million for revolving lines of credit and construction loans made during the year ended December 31, 2011. (cid:120) Discontinued Operations and Dispositions We include properties sold or held for sale and investment banking activities as discontinued operations. Property Dispositions We sold an office property located in Richardson, Texas on October 29, 2013 at a $2.2 million gain. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we reached a decision to classify our office property located in Southfield, Michigan as an asset held for sale. In evaluating the Southfield, Michigan property, management considered various subjective factors, including the time, cost and likelihood of successfully leasing the property, the effect of the property’s results on its unencumbered asset value, which is part of the leverage ratio used to calculate interest rates under the 2012 Credit Facility and future capital costs to upgrade and reposition the multi-tenant property and to lease up the building, recent leasing and economic activity in the local area, and offers to purchase the property. We concluded that selling the property was the more prudent decision and outweighed the potential future benefit of continuing to hold the property. The property was expected to sell within one year at a loss, which was recorded as a provision for loss on a property held for sale of $14.3 million net of applicable income taxes and was classified as an asset held for sale of $0.7 million at September 30, 2012. We sold the property on December 21, 2012 for $0.3 million resulting in a total loss of $14.8 million. We sold an industrial property located in Savage, Maryland on June 24, 2011 at a $2.3 million gain and in 2010 reached an agreement to sell an office property, located in Falls Church, Virginia, which was sold on January 21, 2011 at a $19.6 million gain. The Falls Church, Virginia property was classified as an asset held for sale at December 31, 2010. Accordingly, properties sold were classified as discontinued 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 in many markets relative to both liquidity and pricing. However, we also believe that we are witnessing improving pricing and liquidity in certain markets. 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 potential 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 continuously review and evaluate our portfolio of properties for potentially advantageous dispositions. Investment Banking 26 Previously we operated in the investment banking segment, and in December 2011, we discontinued those activities. The investment banking segment involved the structuring of real estate investments and broker/dealer services that included 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. On December 15, 2011, we announced that our broker/dealer subsidiary, FSP Investments LLC, would no longer sponsor the syndication of shares of preferred stock in newly-formed Sponsored REITs. FSP Investments LLC continues to provide investor services to existing Sponsored REITs, which is not a significant activity, and has the capability to sponsor the syndication of any additional shares of preferred stock in existing Sponsored REITs. Our decision to no longer sponsor the syndication of shares of preferred stock in newly- formed Sponsored REITs was made after judging the potential for meaningful future profit contribution to our earnings from such syndications to be limited. Our investment banking segment had been marginal in its profit contribution over the prior four years and we believed time and resources would be more productively deployed elsewhere 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 below. Significant estimates in the consolidated financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets, impairment considerations and the valuation of the derivative. 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 estimates are consistently applied and produce financial information that fairly presents our results of operations. Our most critical accounting policies involve our investments in Sponsored REITs and our investments in real property. These policies affect our: allocation of purchase prices; allowance for doubtful accounts; assessment of the carrying values and impairments of long lived assets; useful lives of fixed assets and intangibles; valuation of derivatives; classification of leases; and (cid:120) (cid:120) (cid:120) (cid:120) (cid:120) (cid:120) (cid:120) Ownership of stock in a Sponsored REIT and related interests. These policies involve significant judgments made based upon our experience, including judgments about current valuations, ultimate realizable value, estimated useful lives, salvage or residual value, the ability of our tenants to perform their obligations to us, current and future economic conditions and competitive factors in the markets in which our properties are located. Competition, economic conditions and other factors may cause occupancy declines in the future. In the future we may need to revise our carrying value assessments to incorporate information which is not now known and such revisions could increase or decrease our depreciation expense related to properties we own, result in the classification of our leases as other than operating leases or decrease the carrying values of our assets. Allocation of Purchase Price We have historically allocated the purchase prices of properties to land, buildings and improvements. Each component of purchase price generally has a different useful life. For properties acquired subsequent to June 1, 2001, we allocate the value of real estate acquired among land, buildings, improvements and identified intangible assets and liabilities, which may consist of the value of above market and below market leases, the value of in-place leases, and the value of tenant relationships. Purchase price allocations and the determination of the useful lives are 27 based on management’s estimates. Under some circumstances we may rely upon studies commissioned from independent real estate appraisal firms in determining the purchase price allocations. Purchase price allocated to land and building and improvements is based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets assuming the property was vacant. Management determines the fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Purchase price allocated to above or below market leases is based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases including consideration of potential lease renewals and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. Purchase price allocated to in-place leases and tenant relationships is determined as the excess of (i) the purchase price paid for a property after adjusting existing in-place leases to market rental rates over (ii) the estimated fair value of the property as if vacant. This aggregate value is allocated between in-place lease values and tenant relationships based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease; however, the value of tenant relationships has not been separated from in-place lease value because such value and its consequence to amortization expense is immaterial for acquisitions reflected in our financial statements. Factors considered by us in performing these analyses include (i) an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, including real estate taxes, insurance and other operating income and expenses, and (ii) costs to execute similar leases in current market conditions, such as leasing commissions, legal and other related costs. If future acquisitions result in our allocating material amounts to the value of tenant relationships, those amounts would be separately allocated and amortized over the estimated life of the relationships. Allowance for Bad Debts We provide an allowance for bad debts based on our estimate of a tenant’s ability to make future rent payments. The computation of this allowance is based in part on the tenants’ payment history and current credit status. Impairment We periodically evaluate our real estate properties for impairment indicators. These indicators may include declining tenant occupancy, weak or declining tenant profitability, cash flow or liquidity, our decision to dispose of an asset before the end of its estimated useful life or legislative, economic or market changes that permanently reduce the value of our investments. If indicators of impairment are present, we evaluate the carrying value of the property by comparing it to its expected future undiscounted cash flows. If the sum of these expected future cash flows is less than the carrying value, we reduce the net carrying value of the property to the present value of these expected future cash flows. This analysis requires us to judge whether indicators of impairment exist and to estimate likely future cash flows. If we misjudge or estimate incorrectly or if future tenant profitability, market or industry factors differ from our expectations, we may record an impairment charge which is inappropriate or fail to record a charge when we should have done so, or the amount of such charges may be inaccurate. Depreciation and Amortization Expense We compute depreciation expense using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of up to 39 years for buildings and improvements, and up to 15 years for personal property. Costs incurred in connection with leasing (primarily tenant improvements and leasing commissions) are capitalized and amortized over the lease period. The allocated cost of land is not depreciated. The value of above or below-market leases is amortized over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases as an adjustment to rental income. The value of in-place leases, exclusive of the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases, is also amortized over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease is terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease are written off. Inappropriate allocation of acquisition costs, or incorrect estimates of useful lives, could result in depreciation and amortization expenses which do not appropriately reflect the allocation of our capital expenditures over future periods, as is required by generally accepted accounting principles. Derivative Instruments We recognize derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that do not qualify, or are not designated as hedge relationships, must be adjusted to fair value through income. Derivative instruments designated 28 in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability. To the extent hedges are effective, a corresponding amount, adjusted for swap payments, is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity. Amounts are then reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to the income statement in the period or periods the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Ineffectiveness, if any, is recorded in the income statement. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate 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. We currently have no fair value hedges outstanding. Fair values of derivatives are subject to significant variability based on changes in interest rates and counterparty credit risk. To the extent we enter into fair value hedges in the future, the results of such variability could be a significant increase or decrease in our derivative assets, derivative liabilities, book equity, and/or earnings. Lease Classification Some of our real estate properties are leased on a triple net basis, pursuant to non-cancelable, fixed term, operating leases. Each time we enter a new lease or materially modify an existing lease we evaluate whether it is appropriately classified as a capital lease or as an operating lease. The classification of a lease as capital or operating affects the carrying value of a property, as well as our recognition of rental payments as revenue. These evaluations require us to make estimates of, among other things, the remaining useful life and market value of a property, discount rates and future cash flows. Incorrect assumptions or estimates may result in misclassification of our leases. Ownership of Stock in a Sponsored REIT and Related Interests Common stock investments in Sponsored REITs were consolidated while the entity was controlled by the Company. Following the commencement of syndication the Company exercised influence over, but did not control these entities and investments are accounted for using the equity method. Once under the equity method of accounting, our cost basis is adjusted by our share of the Sponsored REITs' earnings, if any, prior to completion of the syndication. Equity in losses or dividends received from Sponsored REITs generally are recognized as income once the investment balance is reduced to zero, unless there is an asset held for syndication from the Sponsored REIT entity. Equity in losses or distributions received in excess of investment is recorded as an adjustment to the carrying value of the asset held for syndication. In December 2011, we announced that we will no longer sponsor the syndication of newly-formed Sponsored REITs. We recognized our share of the operations during the period we consolidated and when the equity method is appropriate, as opposed to classifying the Sponsored REITs as discontinued operations, because we earned an ongoing asset and/or property management fee from Sponsored REITs. These ongoing fees, in addition to the influence that we exercise over the Sponsored REIT, constituted a continuing involvement between the Company and the Sponsored REIT and precluded treatment as discontinued operations. We currently hold preferred stock interests in two Sponsored REITs. As a result of our common and preferred stock interests in these two Sponsored REITs, we exercise influence over, but do not control these entities. These preferred stock interests are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting our cost basis is adjusted by our share of the Sponsored REITs' operations and distributions received. We also agreed to vote our preferred shares (i) with respect to any merger in the same manner that a majority of the other stockholders of the Sponsored REIT vote for or against the merger and (ii) with respect to any other matter presented to a vote by the stockholders of these Sponsored REITs in the same proportion as shares voted by other stockholders of that Sponsored REIT. We also previously held a preferred stock interest in a third Sponsored REIT known as Phoenix Tower. On December 20, 2012, the property owned by Phoenix Tower was sold and, thereafter, Phoenix Tower declared and issued a liquidating distribution for its preferred shareholders, from which the Company was entitled to $4,862,000. As a result of the sale, the Company recognized its share of the gain of $1,582,000. We received $4,752,000 on January 4, 2013 and $96,000 on September 30, 2013. In connection with our common stock ownership of Phoenix Tower, we received $10,000 on September 30, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, we held a beneficial interest in the Phoenix Tower liquidating trust in the amount of $14,000. 29 Results of Operations Impact of Real Estate Acquisition and Investment Activity: The results of operations for each of the acquired properties are included in our operating results as of their respective purchase dates and the funding and repayment dates for mortgage investments. Increases in rental revenues, interest income from loans and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012, or the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011 are primarily a result of the timing of these acquisitions and subsequent contribution of these acquired properties as well as the affect on interest income from the dates of funding and repayment on our mortgage investments. Sales of Real Estate: We sold an office property located in Richardson, Texas on October 29, 2013 at a $2.2 million gain. On December 21, 2012, we sold an office property located in Southfield, Michigan at a loss. On June 24, 2011, we sold an industrial property located in Savage, Maryland at a gain. During 2010, we reached an agreement to sell an office property located in Falls Church, Virginia, which sold on January 21, 2011, at a gain. The operating results of the properties sold are classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The following table shows financial results for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

The increase was primarily a result of: o An increase in rental revenue of approximately $56.5 million arising primarily from property acquisitions in July 2012, November 2012, May 2013, July 2013 and August 2013, which were included in the year ended December 31, 2013; and to a lesser extent, leasing, which raised occupancy approximately 0.1% to 94.1% in the continuing real estate portfolio at December 31, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012. o The increase was partially offset by a $4.3 million decrease in interest income from loans to Sponsored REITs, which was primarily a result of repayment of two loans in July and December 2012, respectively. These repayments resulted in lower average loan receivable balances from which interest income is derived, during the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2012. Expenses Total expenses increased by $54.1 million to $194.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily a result of: o An increase in real estate operating expenses and real estate taxes and insurance of approximately $22.3 million, and depreciation and amortization of $24.8 million, which were primarily from property acquisitions in July 2012, November 2012, May 2013, July 2013 and August 2013, which were included in the year ended December 31, 2013. o An increase to interest expense of approximately $5.0 million to $21.1 million for the year ended December 31, compared to the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to a greater amount of debt outstanding. o An increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $2.0 million, which was primarily the result of increased personnel related expenses of $0.9 milllion, professional fees of $0.5 million, acquisition costs of $0.3 million and franchise taxes of $0.3 million. We had 37 and 35 employees as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, at our headquarters in Wakefield, Massachusetts. Equity in earnings of non-consolidated REITs Equity in earnings (losses) from non-consolidated REITs decreased approximately $3.4 million to a loss of $1.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily because equity in income from our preferred stock investment in a Sponsored REIT, FSP 303 East Wacker Drive Corp., which we refer to as East Wacker, decreased $1.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012; and we had a $1.6 million gain included in equity in income in 2012 from our preferred stock investment in FSP Phoenix Tower Corp, which sold its property on December 20, 2012. Taxes on income Included in income taxes is the Revised Texas Franchise Tax, which is a tax on revenues from Texas properties that increased $132,000 and federal income taxes of $13,000 that increased during the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012. Income from continuing operations Income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $17.3 million compared to $23.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, for the reasons described above. 31 Discontinued operations and gain (loss) on sale Income from discontinued operations increased $17.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012. On October 29, 2013 we sold an office property located in Richardson, Texas at a gain of approximately $2.2 million. On December 21, 2012, we sold one office property located in Southfield, Michigan at a loss of $14.8 million. To a lesser extent, the increase also included an increase in the income from operations of properties we have sold of $375,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to a loss from operations of properties sold of $491,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012. These assets are classified as held for sale on our balance sheet and resulted in a reclassification of real estate income and expenses of these properties to discontinued operations for all periods presented. Net income Net income for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $19.8 million compared to $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, for the reasons described above. The following table shows financial results for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

The increase was primarily a result of: 32 o An increase in rental revenue of approximately $16.5 million arising primarily from the acquisition of one property in July 2012, another property in November 2012, another property in October 2011, another property in September 2011 and three properties in March 2011 that were included in the results for the year ended December 31, 2012, and leasing, which raised occupancy to 94.0% at December 31, 2012 compared to 88.7% at December 31, 2011. o A $0.2 million increase in management fee income from Sponsored REITs we managed during the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011 primarily as a result of syndications started during 2011. o A $6.7 million increase in interest income from Sponsored REIT Loans, which was principally a result of a larger loan receivable balance, from which interest income is derived, and a higher interest rate charged during the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. Expenses Total expenses increased by $18.2 million to $140.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily a result of: o An increase in real estate operating expenses and real estate taxes and insurance of approximately $5.2 million, and depreciation of $6.6 million, which were primarily from the acquisition of one property in July 2012, another property in November 2012, another property in October 2011, another property in September 2011 and three properties in March 2011. o An increase to interest expense of approximately $3.4 million to $16.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $12.7 million for the same period in 2011. The increase was attributable to a higher amount of debt outstanding, and to a lesser extent the acceleration of some amortization of deferred financing costs related to the 2012 Credit Facility. o An increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $3.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011, which was primarily the result of a $0.5 million increase in compensation accruals during the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 and a realignment of personnel and resources in our real estate business following a decision to discontinue our investment banking activities in December 2011. These increases were partially offset by lower acquisition costs of $0.3 million related to the acquisition of properties during the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $0.6 million related to acquisition of properties during the year ended December 31, 2011. We had 35 and 33 employees as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, at our headquarters in Wakefield, Massachusetts. Equity in earnings of non-consolidated REITs Equity in earnings from non-consolidated REITs decreased approximately $1.6 million to $2.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $1.7 million from syndications that we had in 2011 from investment banking, which was discontinued in December 2011. We also had a decrease of $1.5 million in equity in income from our preferred stock investment in Sponsored REIT, FSP 303 East Wacker Drive Corp., which we refer to as East Wacker, during the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.6 million gain included in equity in income from our preferred stock investment in Phoenix Tower, which sold its property on December 20, 2012. Taxes on income 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, which increased during the year ended December 31, 2012 by $68,000 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. 33 Income from continuing operations Income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $23.0 million compared to $19.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, for the reasons described above. Discontinued operations and gain (loss) on sale Income from discontinued operations decreased $39.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease is primarily from a loss on the sale of a property of $14.8 million compared to a gain on sale of properties of $21.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2011. To a lesser extent, the decrease also included a decrease in the loss from operations of properties we have sold of $0.3 million to $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. In December 2011, we discontinued the investment banking segment, which is included in discontinued operations. Income derived from the investment bank was $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The sale of properties from our portfolio results in a reclassification of real estate income from those properties for all periods presented to discontinued operations. We sold one office property located in Southfield, Michigan on December 21, 2012, at a loss of $14.8 million. We sold one industrial property located in Savage, Maryland on June 24, 2011, at a gain of $2.3 million and one office property located in Falls Church, Virginia on January 21, 2011, at a gain of $19.6 million. The operations of those properties are reported as discontinued operations on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Net income Net income for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $7.6 million compared to $43.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, for the reasons described above. 34 Non-GAAP Financial Measures Funds From Operations The Company evaluates performance based on Funds From Operations, which we refer to as FFO, as management believes that FFO represents the most accurate measure of activity and is the basis for distributions paid to equity holders. The Company defines FFO as net income (computed 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 impairment charges on properties or investments in non-consolidated REITs, and after adjustments to exclude equity in income or losses from, and, to include the proportionate share of FFO from, non-consolidated 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 have included the NAREIT FFO definition in our table and note that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. 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 The calculations of FFO are shown in the following table: (in thousands): Net income (loss) (Gain) loss on sale, less applicable income tax Equity in (earnings) losses of non-consolidated REITs FFO from non-consolidated REITs Depreciation and amortization NAREIT FFO Acquisition costs of new properties For the Year Ended December 31, 2011 2012 2013 $ 19,827 $ 7,633 $ 43,524 (2,158) 14,826 (21,939) (2,033) (4,490) 1,358 2,148 4,124 6,784 79,090 55,518 48,439 80,068 72,318 100,265 568 287 620 Funds From Operations $ 100,833 $ 80,355 $ 72,938 Net Operating Income (NOI) The Company provides property performance based on Net Operating Income, which we refer to as NOI. Management believes that investors are interested in this information. NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as net income (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) plus selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, including amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and impairment charges, interest expense, less equity in earnings of nonconsolidated REITs, interest income, management fee income, gains or losses on the sale of assets and excludes non-property specific income and expenses. The information presented includes footnotes and the data is shown by region with properties owned in both periods, which we call Same Store. The Comparative Same Store results exclude significant nonrecurring income such as bankruptcy settlements and lease termination fees. NOI, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs that define NOI differently. NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of the Company's liquidity or its ability to make distributions. The calculations of NOI are shown in the following table: 35 (in thousands) Region East MidWest South West Same Store Acquisitions Property NOI from the continuing portfolio Dispositions and asset held for sale Property NOI Same Store Less Nonrecurring Items in NOI (a) Comparative Same Store Reconciliation to Net income Net Income Add (deduct): Discontinued operations Loss provision or (gain) on sale of assets Management fee income Depreciation and amortization Amortization of above/below market leases Selling, general and administrative Interest expense Interest income Equity in earnings of non-consolidated REITs Non-property specific items, net Property NOI from the continuing portfolio Dispositions and asset held for sale Property NOI Net Operating Income (NOI)* Inc (Dec) % Change Rentable Square Feet or RSF 1,441 1,682 2,508 1,087 6,718 2,967 9,685 Year Ended 31-Dec-13 20,260 $ 19,864 37,563 9,612 87,299 34,801 122,100 839 122,939 $ Year Ended 31-Dec-12 19,360 $ 20,240 35,858 9,937 85,395 $ 900 (376) 1,705 (325) 1,904 3,749 89,144 31,052 32,956 703 89,847 $ 136 33,092 $ 4.6% -1.9% 4.8% -3.3% 2.2% 34.7% 37.0% -0.1% 36.8% $ 87,299 $ 85,395 $ 1,904 2.2% 998 842 156 -0.1% $ 86,301 $ 84,553 $ 1,748 2.1% Year Ended 31-Dec-13 Year Ended 31-Dec-12 $ 19,827 $ 7,633 (375) (2,158) (2,493) 78,839 (213) 11,929 21,054 (5,584) 1,358 (84) 491 14,826 (2,120) 54,051 273 9,916 16,068 (9,848) (2,033) (113) $ 122,100 $ 89,144 839 703 $ 122,939 $ 89,847 (a) Nonrecurring Items in NOI include proceeds from bankruptcies, lease termination fees or other significant nonrecurring income or expenses, which may affect comparability. *Excludes NOI from investments in and interest income from secured loans to non-consolidated REITs. 36 Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash and cash equivalents were $19.6 million and $21.3 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The decrease of $1.7 million is attributable to $92.0 million provided by operating activities less $562.6 million used in investing activities, plus $468.9 million provided by financing activities. Management believes that existing cash, cash anticipated to be generated internally by operations 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. 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. Operating Activities The cash provided by our operating activities of $92.0 million is primarily attributable to net income of $19.8 million, less of the $2.2 million from a gain on sale of a property, plus the add backs of $75.2 million of non- cash activities, a $11.5 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a $1.5 million increase from tenant security deposits. These increases were partially offset by a $9.1 million in payments of deferred leasing commissions, $1.5 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, a $2.1 million increase in tenant rents receivable and a $1.1 million increase in lease acquisition costs. Investing Activities Our cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2013 of $562.6 million is primarily attributable to $574.0 million in additions to real estate investments and office equipment and an $8.2 million increase in Sponsored REIT Loans, which was partially offset by $12.3 million of proceeds on the sale of a property, a $4.9 million distribution received from a preferred stock investment in a Sponsored REIT, which was sold in December 2012, a $2.3 million repayment of a Sponsored REIT Loan and $0.1 million of distributions in excess of earnings from non-consolidated REITs. Financing Activities Our cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2013 of $468.9 million is primarily attributable to net proceeds from an equity offering of $230.7 million, net borrowings under the 2012 Revolver (as defined below) of $89.7 million and the proceeds of the 2013 Term Loan of $220.0 million. These increases were partially offset by distributions paid to stockholders of $69.6 million and payment of financing costs to secure the 2013 Term Loan of $1.9 million. 2013 Term Loan On August 26, 2013, the Company and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a Credit Agreement (the “2013 Credit Agreement”) with the lending institutions referenced in the 2013 Credit Agreement and those lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent, to provide for a single unsecured term loan borrowing on the closing date in the amount of $220,000,000 (the “2013 Term Loan”). On August 26, 2013, the Company drew down $220,000,000 under the 2013 Term Loan. The 2013 Term Loan has a seven year term that matures on August 26, 2020. The 2013 Term Loan includes an accordion feature that allows for up to $50,000,000 of additional loans subject to receipt of lender commitments and satisfaction of certain customary conditions. The 2013 Term Loan bears interest at either (i) a rate equal to LIBOR plus 145 to 220 basis points depending on our total leverage ratio for the applicable period (LIBOR plus 190 basis points, or 2.06% at December 31, 2013) or (ii) a rate equal to the bank’s base rate plus 45 to 120 basis points depending on our total leverage ratio for the applicable period (the bank’s base rate plus 90 basis points, or 4.15% at December 31, 2013). The actual LIBOR rate or base rate is determined based on the Company’s total leverage ratio for the applicable period as described in the table below: 37 Leverage Ratio Greater Than - 25% 35% 45% 55% Less Than or Equal to 25% 35% 45% 55% and and and and LIBOR Margin 145.0 bps 155.0 bps 165.0 bps 190.0 bps 220.0 bps Base Rate Margin 45.0 bps 55.0 bps 65.0 bps 90.0 bps 120.0 bps Although the interest rate on the 2013 Term Loan is variable, we fixed the base LIBOR interest rate on the 2013 Term Loan by entering into an interest rate swap agreement. On August 26, 2013, we entered into an ISDA Master Agreement with Bank of Montreal that fixed the base LIBOR interest rate on the 2013 Term Loan at 2.32% per annum for seven years. Accordingly, based upon our leverage ratio, as of December 31, 2013, the interest rate on the 2013 Term Loan was 4.22% per annum. The 2013 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations with respect to indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers and acquisitions, disposition of assets, changes in business, certain restricted payments, the requirement to join certain subsidiaries as co-borrowers under the 2013 Credit Agreement and transactions with affiliates. The 2013 Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum secured leverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio, a maximum unencumbered leverage ratio, a minimum unencumbered debt service coverage ratio, a maximum ratio of certain investments to total assets and a maximum amount of secured recourse indebtedness. The 2013 Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default with corresponding grace periods, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, certain cross defaults and a change in control of the Company (as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement). In the event of a default by the Company, the administrative agent may, and at the request of the requisite number of lenders shall, declare all obligations under the 2013 Credit Agreement immediately due and payable, terminate the lenders’ commitments to make loans under the 2013 Credit Agreement, and enforce any and all rights of the lenders or administrative agent under the 2013 Credit Agreement and related documents. For certain events of default related to bankruptcy, insolvency, and receivership, the commitments of lenders will be automatically terminated and all outstanding obligations of the Company will become immediately due and payable. The Company was in compliance with the 2013 Term Loan financial covenants as of December 31, 2013. We may use the proceeds of the 2013 Term Loan to finance the acquisition of real properties and for other permitted investments, to finance investments associated with Sponsored REITs, to refinance or retire existing indebtedness and for working capital and other general business purposes, in each case to the extent permitted under the 2013 Credit Agreement. 2012 Credit Facility As of December 31, 2013, the Company had bank notes payable to a group of banks for an unsecured credit facility comprised of both a revolving line of credit and a term loan (the “2012 Credit Facility”). The revolving line of credit portion of the 2012 Credit Facility is for borrowings, at the Company’s election, of up to $500,000,000 (the “2012 Revolver”). The term loan portion of the 2012 Credit Facility is for $400,000,000 (the “2012 Term Loan”). The 2012 Revolver includes an accordion feature that allows for up to $250,000,000 of additional borrowing capacity subject to receipt of lender commitments and satisfaction of certain customary conditions. On September 27, 2012, the Company and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “2012 Credit Agreement”) with the lending institutions referenced in the 2012 Credit Agreement and those lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, letter of credit issuer and swing line lender, for the 2012 Credit Facility. On September 27, 2012, the Company drew down the entire $400,000,000 under the 2012 Term Loan and $82,000,000 under the 2012 Revolver. The Company’s $600,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “2011 Revolver”) that was 38 scheduled to mature on February 22, 2014 was amended and restated in its entirety by the 2012 Credit Agreement and the $482,000,000 in advances outstanding under the 2011 Revolver were repaid from the proceeds of the 2012 Credit Facility. The 2012 Term Loan has a five year term that matures on September 27, 2017. Borrowings made pursuant to the 2012 Revolver may be revolving loans, swing line loans or letters of credit, the combined sum of which may not exceed $500,000,000 outstanding at any time. Borrowings made pursuant to the 2012 Revolver may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time for four years until September 27, 2016, the initial maturity date of the 2012 Revolver. The Company has the right to extend the initial maturity date of the 2012 Revolver by an additional 12 months, or until September 27, 2017, upon payment of a fee and satisfaction of certain customary conditions. The 2012 Credit Facility bears interest at either (i) a rate equal to LIBOR plus 135 to 190 basis points depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing (LIBOR plus 165 basis points, or 1.82% at December 31, 2013) or (ii) a rate equal to the bank’s base rate plus 35 to 90 basis points depending on our total leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing (the bank’s base rate plus 65 basis points, or 3.90% at December 31, 2013). The 2012 Credit Facility also obligates the Company to pay an annual facility fee of 20 to 40 basis points depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio (35 basis points at December 31, 2013). The facility fee is assessed against the total amount of the 2012 Credit Facility, or $900,000,000. The actual amount of any applicable facility fee, LIBOR rate or base rate is determined based on the Company’s total leverage ratio as described in the table below: Leverage Ratio Greater Than - 25% 35% 45% 55% Less Than or Equal to 25% 35% 45% 55% and and and and Facility Fee 20.0 bps 25.0 bps 30.0 bps 35.0 bps 40.0 bps LIBOR Margin 135.0 bps 140.0 bps 145.0 bps 165.0 bps 190.0 bps Base Rate Margin 35.0 bps 40.0 bps 45.0 bps 65.0 bps 90.0 bps For purposes of the 2012 Credit Facility, base rate means, for any day, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of: (i) the bank’s prime rate for such day, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate for such day, plus 1/2 of 1.00%, and (iii) the one month LIBOR base rate for such day plus 1.00%. Although the interest rate on the 2012 Credit Facility is variable, under the 2012 Credit Agreement, the Company fixed the base LIBOR interest rate on the 2012 Term Loan by entering into an interest rate swap agreement. On September 27, 2012, the Company entered into an ISDA Master Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. that fixed the base LIBOR interest rate on the 2012 Term Loan at 0.75% per annum for five years. Accordingly, based upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as of December 31, 2013, the interest rate on the 2012 Term Loan was 2.40% per annum. In addition, based upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as of December 31, 2013, there were borrowings of $306,500,000 outstanding under the 2012 Revolver at a weighted average rate of 1.82% per annum. The weighted average interest rate on all amounts outstanding on the 2012 Revolver during the year ended December 31, 2013 was approximately 1.65% per annum. As of December 31, 2012, there were borrowings of $216,750,000 outstanding under the 2012 Revolver at a weighted average rate of 2.23% per annum. As of December 31, 2011, there were borrowings of $449,000,000 outstanding under the 2011 Revolver at a weighted average rate of 2.24% per annum. The 2012 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations with respect to indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers and acquisitions, disposition of assets, changes in business, certain restricted payments, the requirement to join certain subsidiaries as co- borrowers under the 2012 Credit Agreement and transactions with affiliates. The 2012 Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum secured leverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio, a maximum unencumbered leverage ratio, a minimum unencumbered debt service coverage ratio, a maximum ratio of certain investments to 39 total assets and a maximum amount of secured recourse indebtedness. The 2012 Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default with corresponding grace periods, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, certain cross defaults and a change in control of the Company (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement). In the event of a default by the Company, the administrative agent may, and at the request of the requisite number of lenders shall, declare all obligations under the 2012 Credit Agreement immediately due and payable, terminate the lenders’ commitments to make loans under the 2012 Credit Agreement, and enforce any and all rights of the lenders or administrative agent under the 2012 Credit Agreement and related documents. For certain events of default related to bankruptcy, insolvency, and receivership, the commitments of lenders will be automatically terminated and all outstanding obligations of the Company will become immediately due and payable. The Company was in compliance with the 2012 Credit Facility financial covenants as of December 31, 2013. The Company may use the proceeds of the loans under the 2012 Credit Agreement to finance the acquisition of real properties and for other permitted investments; to finance investments associated with Sponsored REITs, to refinance or retire existing indebtedness and for working capital and other general business purposes, in each case to the extent permitted under the 2012 Credit Agreement. Equity Securities On May 15, 2013, we completed an underwritten public offering of 17,250,000 shares of our common stock (including 2,250,000 shares issued as a result of the full exercise of an overallotment option by the underwriter) at a price to the public of $14.00 per share. The proceeds from this public offering, net of underwriter discounts and offering costs, totaled approximately $230.7 million (after payment of offering costs of approximately $10.8 million). 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. The on demand offering sales agreement for the ATM Sales Program was amended on April 27, 2012 in connection with our filing of a new Registration Statement on Form S-3. 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 MKT 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 year ended December 31, 2013, we did not sell any shares of our common stock under our ATM Sales Program. As of December 31, 2013, we were authorized to offer and sell a remainder of approximately $34.3 million of our shares of common stock under the ATM Sales Program. As of December 31, 2013, we had an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission 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 December 31, 2013, we were committed to fund up to $111.8 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 $99.7 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. 40 Related Party Transactions We intend to draw on the 2012 Credit Facility in the future for a variety of corporate purposes, including the acquisition of properties that we acquire directly for our portfolio and for Sponsored REIT Loans as described below. Loans to Sponsored REITs Sponsored REIT Loans From time to time we may make secured loans (“Sponsored REIT Loans”) to Sponsored REITs in the form of mortgage loans or revolving lines of credit to fund construction costs, capital expenditures, leasing costs and for other purposes. We anticipate 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 some other 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. Except for the mortgage loan with a revolving line of credit component which bore interest at a fixed rate and was repaid in July 2012 and a mortgage loan which also bears interest at a fixed rate, advances under each Sponsored REIT Loan bear interest at a rate equal to the 30-day LIBOR rate plus an agreed upon amount of basis points and most advances also require a 50 basis point draw fee. In December 2011, the Company received a loan fee of $762,000 at the time of the closing of the mortgage loan with a revolving line of credit component. In March 2012, a $300,000 fee was collected in connection with a $30 million draw from the revolving line of credit component. That loan was repaid in full during July 2012 and also included a 0.49% fee collected of $520,000. In July 2012, the Company received a loan fee of $300,630 at the time of the closing of the mortgage loan and a 0.98% fee will be collected on all amounts repaid under the loan. Our Sponsored REIT Loans subject us to credit risk. However, we believe that our position as asset manager of each of the Sponsored REITs helps mitigate that risk by providing us with unique insight and the ability to rely on qualitative analysis of the Sponsored REITs. Before making a Sponsored REIT Loan, we consider a variety of subjective factors, including the quality of the underlying real estate, leasing, the financial condition of the applicable Sponsored REIT and local and national market conditions. These factors are subject to change and we do not apply a formula or assign relative weights to the factors. Instead, we make a subjective determination after considering such factors collectively. Additional information about our Sponsored REIT Loans outstanding as of December 31, 2013, including a summary table of our Sponsored REIT Loans, is incorporated herein by reference to Note 4, “Related Party Transactions and Investments in Non-Consolidated Entities - Management fees and interest income from loans”, in the Notes to 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 years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the rental income exceeded the expenses for each individual property, with the exception of our property located in Southfield, Michigan. Our property located in Southfield, Michigan with approximately 215,000 square feet of rentable space was 41.4% leased at December 21, 2012. The property was sold on December 21, 2012. Rental revenue did not cover ordinary operating expenses for the period ended December 21, 2012. The property generated rental income of $1,113,000 and had operating expenses of $1,419,000 for the period ended December 21, 2012. 41 Rental Income Commitments Our commercial real estate operations include the leasing of office buildings subject to leases with terms greater than one year. The leases thereon expire at various dates through 2025. Approximate future minimum rental income from non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2013 is: (in thousands) 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Thereafter (2019-2026) Year ending December 31, $ 176,681 165,974 155,794 133,345 117,955 243,743 $ 993,492 Contractual Obligations The following table sets forth our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2013.

The lease includes a base annual rent and additional rent for our share of taxes and operating costs. In addition to the amounts in the table above, from time to time, we may provide Sponsored REIT Loans to our Sponsored REITs. As of December 31, 2013, we were committed to fund Sponsored REIT Loans up to $111.8 million to six Sponsored REITs, of which $99.7 million in the aggregate was drawn and outstanding. Additional information about our Sponsored REIT Loans outstanding as of December 31, 2013, including a summary table of our Sponsored REIT Loans, is incorporated herein by reference to Note 4, “Related Party Transactions and Investments in Non-Consolidated Entities - Management fees and interest income from loans”, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. 42 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements Investments in Sponsored REITs Previously we operated in the investment banking segment, and in December 2011, we discontinued those activities. The investment banking segment involved the structuring of real estate investments and broker/dealer services that included 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. On December 15, 2011, we announced that our broker/dealer subsidiary, FSP Investments LLC, would no longer sponsor the syndication of shares of preferred stock in newly-formed Sponsored REITs. The Sponsored REITs own real estate, purchases of which were financed through the private placement of equity in those entities, typically through syndication. These Sponsored REITs are operated in a manner intended to qualify as real estate investment trusts. We earned fees related to the sale of preferred stock in the Sponsored REITs in these syndications. The Sponsored REITs issued both common stock and preferred stock. The common stock is owned by FSP Corp. Generally the preferred stock is owned by unaffiliated investors, however, we acquired an interest in preferred shares of five Sponsored REITs. In addition, directors and officers of FSP Corp., have from time to time invested in Sponsored REITs. Following consummation of the offerings, the preferred stockholders in each of the Sponsored REITs were entitled to 100% of the Sponsored REIT’s cash distributions. Subsequent to the completion of the offering of preferred shares, except for the preferred stock we own, we do not share in any of the Sponsored REIT’s earnings, or any related dividend, and the common stock ownership interests have virtually no economic benefit or risk. Prior to the completion of the offering of preferred shares, we shared in Sponsored REIT’s earnings (and related dividends) to the extent of our ownership interest in the Sponsored REIT. As a common stockholder, upon completion of the syndication, we have no rights to the Sponsored REIT’s earnings or any related cash distributions. However, upon liquidation of a Sponsored REIT, we are entitled to our percentage interest as a common stockholder in any proceeds remaining after the preferred stockholders have recovered their investment. Our common stock percentage interest in each Sponsored REIT is less than 1%. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Sponsored REIT’s preferred stockholders is required for any actions involving merger, sale of property, amendment to charter or issuance of additional capital stock. In addition, all of the Sponsored REITs allow the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding preferred shares to remove (without cause) and replace one or more members of that Sponsored REIT’s board of directors. Common stock investments in Sponsored REITs are consolidated while the entity is controlled by us. Following the commencement of syndication we exercise influence over, but do not control these entities and investments are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the cost basis is increased by its share of the Sponsored REITs' earnings, if any, prior to completion of the syndication. Equity in losses of Sponsored REITs was not recognized to the extent that the investment balance would become negative and distributions received are recognized as income once the investment balance is reduced to zero, unless there are assets held for syndication from the Sponsored REIT entity. Equity in losses or distributions received in excess of investment is recorded as an adjustment to the carrying value of the asset held for syndication. In December 2011, the Company discontinued sydicating newly-formed Sponsored REITs and had no Acquisition Loans outstanding at December 31, 2011. We have acquired a preferred stock interest in five Sponsored REITs, including one that sold the property owned by it on December 20, 2012 and made a liquidating distribution to us, one we acquired on May 15, 2008 by cash merger and another we acquired on April 30, 2006 by merger. As a result of our common stock interest and our preferred stock interest in the remaining two Sponsored REITs, we exercise influence over, but do not control these entities. These preferred share investments are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting our cost basis is adjusted by our share of the Sponsored REITs' operations and distributions received. We also agreed to vote our preferred shares in any matter presented to a vote by the stockholders of these Sponsored REITs in the same proportion as shares voted by other stockholders of the Sponsored REITs. At December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we held a common stock interest in 14, 15 and 16 Sponsored REITs, respectively, all of which were fully syndicated and in which we no longer share economic benefit or risk. 43 The table below shows our income and expenses from Sponsored REITs. Management fees of $6,000, for the year ended December 31, 2011 and interest expense related to the Company’s mortgage on property is eliminated in consolidation. (in thousands) Operating Data: Rental revenues Operating and maintenance expenses Depreciation and amortization Interest expense Interest income Year Ended December 31, 2011 $ 1,482 480 610 197 - 195 $ During the year ended December 31, 2011, we recorded equity in income from two Sponsored REITs following commencement of the syndication of $1.7 million. From time to time, we may provide Sponsored REIT Loans to our Sponsored REITs. As of December 31, 2013, we were committed to fund Sponsored REIT Loans up to $111.8 million to six Sponsored REITs, of which $99.7 million in the aggregate was drawn and outstanding. Additional information about our Sponsored REIT Loans outstanding as of December 31, 2013, including a summary table of our Sponsored REIT Loans, is incorporated herein by reference to Note 4, “Related Party Transactions and Investments in Non-Consolidated Entities - Management fees and interest income from loans”, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. Market Rate Risk We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily from our floating rate borrowing arrangements. We use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, if market rates on our outstanding borrowings under our 2012 Revolver increased by 10% at maturity, or approximately 18 and 17 basis points, respectively, over the current variable rate, the increase in interest expense would decrease future earnings and cash flows by $0.6 million and $0.4 million annually, respectively. Based upon our leverage ratio, the interest rate on our borrowings on the 2012 Revolver as of December 31, 2013 was LIBOR plus 165 basis points, or 1.82% per annum. We do not believe that the interest rate risk represented by borrowings under our 2012 Revolver is material as of December 31, 2013. Although the interest rates on the 2013 Term Loan and the 2012 Credit Facility are variable, the Company fixed the base LIBOR interest rates on the 2013 Term Loan and the 2012 Term Loan by entering into interest rate swap agreements. On August 26, 2013, the Company entered into an ISDA Master Agreement with Bank of Montreal that fixed the base LIBOR interest rate on the 2013 Term Loan at 2.32% per annum for seven years (the “2013 Interest Rate Swap”). On September 27, 2012, the Company entered into an ISDA Master Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. that fixed the base LIBOR interest rate on the 2012 Term Loan at 0.75% per annum for five years (the “2012 Interest Rate Swap”). Accordingly, based upon the Company’s leverage ratios, as of December 31, 2013, the interest rate on the 2013 Term Loan was 4.22% per annum and the interest rate on the 2012 Term Loan was 2.40% per annum. The fair value of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap and the 2012 Interest Rate Swap is affected by changes in market interest rates. We believe that we have mitigated interest rate risk with respect to the 2013 Term Loan through the 2013 Interest Rate Swap for the seven year term of the 2013 Term Loan. We believe that we have mitigated interest rate risk with respect to the 2012 Term Loan through the 2012 Interest Rate Swap for the five year term of the 2012 Term Loan. The 2013 Interest Rate Swap and the 2012 Interest Rate Swap were our only derivative instruments as of Decembr 31, 2013. 44 The table below lists our derivative instruments, which are hedging variable cash flows related to interest on our 2013 Term Loan and our 2012 Term Loan as of December 31, 2013 (in thousands): (in thousands) Notional Value Strike Rate Effective Date Expiration Date Fair Value 2013 Interest Rate Swap 2012 Interest Rate Swap $ $ 220,000 400,000 2.32% 0.75% Aug-13 Sep-12 Aug-20 Sep-17 $ $ (2,044) 5,321 Our 2013 Term Loan and our 2012 Term Loan hedging transactions used derivative instruments that involve certain additional risks such as 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 either or both of the contracts. We require our derivatives contracts to be with counterparties that have investment grade ratings. The counterparty to the 2013 Interest Rate Swap is Bank of Montreal and the counterparty to the 2012 Interest Rate Swap is Bank of America, N.A., both of which have investment grade ratings. As a result, we do not anticipate that either counterparty will fail to meet its obligations. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to adequately protect against the foregoing risks or that we will ultimately realize an economic benefit that exceeds the related amounts incurred in connection with engaging in such hedging strategies. The 2012 Revolver has a term of four years and matures on September 27, 2016. We have the right to extend the initial maturity date of the 2012 Revolver by an additional 12 months, or until September 27, 2017, upon payment of a fee and satisfaction of certain customary conditions. The 2012 Revolver includes an accordion feature that allows for up to $250,000,000 of additional borrowing capacity subject to receipt of lender commitments and satisfaction of certain customary conditions. Upon maturity, our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments will be dependent upon the balance then outstanding and prevalent market interest rates. We borrow from time-to-time under the 2012 Revolver. These borrowings bear interest at either (i) a rate equal to LIBOR plus 135 to 190 basis points depending on our total leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing (LIBOR plus 165 basis points, or 1.82% at December 31, 2013) or (ii) a rate equal to the bank’s base rate plus 35 to 90 basis points depending on our total leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing (the bank’s base rate plus 65 basis points, or 3.90% at December 31, 2013). There were borrowings totaling $306.5 million and $216.8 million on the 2012 Revolver, at a weighted average rate of 1.82% and 1.66% outstanding at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. We have drawn on the 2012 Revolver, and intend to draw on the 2012 Revolver in the future for a variety of corporate purposes, including the funding of Sponsored REIT Loans and the acquisition of properties that we acquire directly for our portfolio. Information about our Sponsored REIT Loans as of December 31, 2013 is incorporated herein by reference to Note 4, “Related Party Transactions and Investments in Non-Consolidated Entities - Management fees and interest income from loans”, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. The following table presents as of December 31, 2013 our contractual variable rate borrowings under our 2012 Revolver, which matures on September 27, 2016, under our 2012 Term Loan, which matures on September 27, 2017 and under our 2013 Term Loan, which matures on August 26, 2020. Under the 2012 Revolver, we have the right to extend the initial maturity date by an additional 12 months, or until September 27, 2017, upon payment of a fee and satisfaction of certain customary conditions.

Financial Statements and Supplementary Data The information required by this item is included in the financial pages following the Exhibit index herein and incorporated herein by reference. Reference is made to the Index to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 15 of Part IV. Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure Not applicable. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Disclosure 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 December 31, 2013. 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 December 31, 2013, 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. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: (cid:120) (cid:120) (cid:120) Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

F-1 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Franklin Street Properties Corp.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Franklin Street Properties Corp. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, other comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Franklin Street Properties Corp. at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Franklin Street Properties Corp.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 framework) and our report dated February 18, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Boston, Massachusetts February 18, 2014 F-2 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Franklin Street Properties Corp.: We have audited Franklin Street Properties Corp.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 framework) (the COSO criteria). Franklin Street Properties Corp.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in Item 9A of Franklin Street Properties Corp.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, Franklin Street Properties Corp. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the 2013 consolidated financial statements of Franklin Street Properties Corp. and our report dated February 18, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Boston, Massachusetts February 18, 2014 F-3 Franklin Street Properties Corp.

Estimates and Assumptions The Company prepares its financial statements and related notes in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the consolidated financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets and the valuation of the derivative. Investments in non-consolidated REITs The Company has a non-controlling common stock interest in 14 Sponsored REITs and a non-controlling preferred stock interest in two Sponsored REITs. In December 2011, the Company announced that it will no longer sponsor the syndication of newly-formed Sponsored REITs, though it has the capability to sponsor the syndication of any additional shares of preferred stock in existing Sponsored REITs. Common stock investments in Sponsored REITs were consolidated while the entity was controlled by the Company. 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. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company's cost basis is adjusted by its share of the Sponsored REITs' earnings, if any, prior to completion of the syndication. Equity in losses of Sponsored REITs is not recognized to the extent that the investment balance would become negative. Distributions received are recognized as income once the investment balance is reduced to zero, unless there is a loan receivable from the Sponsored REIT entity. Equity in losses or distributions received in excess of common stock investment were recorded as an adjustment to the carrying value of the assets held for syndication. Subsequent to the completion of the syndication of preferred shares, the Company does not share in any of the Sponsored REITs’ earnings, or any related distributions, as a result of its common stock ownership. F-11 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) On September 22, 2006, the Company purchased 48 preferred shares (approximately 4.6%) of a Sponsored REIT, FSP Phoenix Tower Corp. (“Phoenix Tower”), for $4,116,000. The Company agreed to vote its shares in any matter presented to a vote by the stockholders of Phoenix Tower in the same proportion as shares voted by other stockholders of Phoenix Tower. The investment in Phoenix Tower was accounted for under the equity method. On December 20, 2012, the property owned by Phoenix Tower was sold at a gain. The Company’s share of the gain was $1.6 million and is included in equity in earnings from non-consolidated REITs on the consolidated statements of income. On December 27, 2007, the Company purchased 965.75 preferred shares (approximately 43.7%) of a Sponsored REIT, FSP 303 East Wacker Drive Corp. (“East Wacker”), for $82,813,000. The Company agreed to vote its shares in any matter presented to a vote by the stockholders of East Wacker in the same proportion as shares voted by other stockholders of East Wacker. The investment in East Wacker is accounted for under the equity method. On May 29, 2009, the Company purchased 175.5 preferred shares (approximately 27.0%) of a Sponsored REIT, FSP Grand Boulevard Corp. (“Grand Boulevard”), for $15,049,000. The Company agreed to vote its shares in any matter presented to a vote by the stockholders of Grand Boulevard in the same proportion as shares voted by other stockholders of Grand Boulevard. The investment in Grand Boulevard is accounted for under the equity method. Real Estate and Depreciation Real estate assets are stated at the lower of cost, less accumulated depreciation. Costs related to property acquisition and improvements are capitalized. Typical capital items include new roofs, site improvements, various exterior building improvements and major interior renovations. Costs incurred in connection with leasing (primarily tenant improvements and leasing commissions) are capitalized and amortized over the lease period. Routine replacements and ordinary maintenance and repairs that do not extend the life of the asset are expensed as incurred. Funding for repairs and maintenance items typically is provided by cash flows from operating activities. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful lives as follows: Category Commercial buildings Building improvements Fixtures and equipment Years 39 15-39 3-7 The Company reviews its properties to determine if their carrying amounts will be recovered from future operating cash flows if certain indicators of impairment are identified at those properties. 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. Since cash flows are considered on an undiscounted basis in the analysis that the Company conducts to determine whether an asset has been impaired, the Company’s strategy of holding properties over the long term directly decreases the likelihood of recording an impairment loss. If the Company’s strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized. If the Company determines that impairment has occurred, the affected assets must be reduced to their fair value. Acquired Real Estate Leases and Amortization The Company recorded the value of acquired real estate leases as a result of three acquisitions in 2013, two acquisitions in 2012 and five acquisitions in 2011. Acquired real estate leases represent costs 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) and the value relating to leases with rents above the market rate. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the term of the leases, which range from 1 month to 281 months. Amortization expense was approximately $32,230,000, $19,174,000, and $13,697,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization related to costs associated with acquiring an in-place lease is included in depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statements of income. Amortization related to leases with rents above the market rate is offset against the rental revenue in the consolidated statements of income. The estimated annual amortization expense for the five years and thereafter succeeding December 31, 2013 is as follows: F-12 Franklin Street Properties Corp.

Acquired unfavorable real estate leases represent the value relating to leases with rents below the market rate. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the term of the leases, which range from 2 months to 281 months. Amortization expense was approximately $3,073,000, $1,548,000 and $1,301,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization related to leases with rents below the market rate is included with rental revenue in the consolidated statements of income. The estimated annual amortization for the five years and thereafter succeeding December 31, 2013 is as follows: (in thousands) 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 and thereafter $ 3,267 2,948 2,387 1,816 1,397 2,360 Discontinued Operations The Company reports as discontinued operations, the income and expenses associated with a disposal group (i) that qualifies as a component of an entity, (ii) for which cash flows will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity, and (iii) in which the Company will not have significant continuing involvement. The Company accounts for sale of properties and assets held for sale as discontinued operations. Classification as held for sale typically occurs upon the execution of a purchase and sale agreement and belief by management that the sale or disposition is probable of occurrence within one year. Upon determining that a property is held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the property and reflects the property in its consolidated balance sheets at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less the cost to sell. The Company presents property held for sale on its consolidated balance sheets as “Asset held for sale”, on a comparative basis. The Company reports the results of operations of its properties sold or held for sale in its consolidated statements of income as discontinued operations if no significant continuing involvement exists after the sale or disposition. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists of tenant security deposits, which are required by law in some states or by contractual agreement to be kept in a segregated account, and escrows arising from property sales. Tenant security deposits are refunded when tenants vacate, provided that the tenant has not damaged the property. F-13 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Cash held in escrow is paid when the related issue is resolved. Restricted cash also may include funds segregated for specific tenant improvements per lease agreements. Tenant Rent Receivables Tenant rent receivables are expected to be collected within one year. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its estimate of a tenant’s ability to make future rent payments. The computation of this allowance is based in part on the tenants’ payment history and current credit status. The Company charged off $1,237,000 in receivables and decreased its allowance by $13,000 during 2013; charged off $20,000 in receivables and increased its allowance by $85,000 during 2012; and charged off $399,000 in receivables and increased its allowance by $34,000 during 2011, based on such analysis. Related Party Mortgage Loan Receivable Management monitors and evaluates the secured loans compared to the expected performance, cash flow and value of the underlying real estate and has not experienced a loss on these loans to date. Concentration of Credit Risks Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash investments, derivatives and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash balances principally in two banks which the Company believes to be creditworthy. The Company periodically assesses the financial condition of the banks and believes that the risk of loss is minimal. Cash balances held with various financial institutions frequently exceed the insurance limit of $250,000 provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The derivatives that we have are from two interest rate swap agreements that are discussed in Note 6. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of our tenants and require certain tenants to provide security deposits or letters of credit. Though these security deposits and letters of credit are insufficient to meet the total value of a tenant’s lease obligation, they are a measure of good faith and a source of funds to offset the economic costs associated with lost rent and the costs associated with re-tenanting the space. The Company has no single tenant which accounts for more than 10% of its annualized rent. Financial Instruments The Company estimates that the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued compensation, tenant security deposits approximate their fair values based on their short-term maturity and the bank note and term loans payable approximate their fair values as they bear interest at variable interest rates. Straight-line Rent Receivable Certain leases provide for fixed rent increases over the term of the lease. Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the related lease term; however, billings by the Company are based on the lease agreements. Straight-line rent receivable, which is the cumulative revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed by the Company, is $42,261,000 and $35,441,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its estimate of a tenant’s ability to make future rent payments. The computation of this allowance is based in part on the tenants’ payment history and current credit status. The Company charged off $48,000 in receivables and increased its allowance by $48,000 during 2013, charged off $28,000 in receivables and increased its allowance by $28,000 during 2012 and charged off $567,000 in receivables and increased its allowance by $2,000 during 2011, based on such analysis. Deferred Leasing Commissions Deferred leasing commissions represent direct and incremental external leasing costs incurred in the leasing of commercial space. These costs are capitalized and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related lease agreements. Amortization expense was approximately $4,683,000, $4,173,000 and $3,806,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. F-14 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Deferred Leasing Commissions (continued) The estimated annual amortization for the five years and thereafter following December 31, 2013 is as follows: (in thousands) 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 and thereafter $ 5,240 4,669 4,193 3,312 2,945 7,476 Common Share Repurchases The Company recognizes the gross cost of the common shares it repurchases as a reduction in stockholders’ equity using the treasury stock method. Maryland law does not recognize a separate treasury stock account but provides that shares repurchased are classified as authorized but unissued shares. Accordingly, the Company reduces common stock for the par value and the excess of the purchase price over the par value is a reduction to additional paid-in capital. Revenue Recognition Rental revenue includes income from leases, certain reimbursable expenses, straight-line rent adjustments and other income associated with renting the property. A summary of rental revenue is shown in the following table: (in thousands) Income from leases Reimbursable expenses Straight-line rent adjustment Amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases Year Ended December 31, 2012 116,494 29,847 4,366 $ $ 2011 98,080 26,006 9,863 $ 2013 159,472 41,486 5,755 213 206,926 $ (273) 150,434 $ (3) 133,946 $ Rental Revenue - The Company has retained substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the Company's commercial properties and accounts for its leases as operating leases. Rental income from leases, which includes rent concessions (including free rent and tenant improvement allowances) and scheduled increases in rental rates during the lease term, is recognized on a straight-line basis. The Company does not have any significant percentage rent arrangements with its commercial property tenants. Reimbursable expenses are included in rental income in the period earned. Related Party and Other Revenue - Property and asset management fees and other income are recognized when the related services are performed and the earnings process is complete. Segment Reporting ASC 280 Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”) establishes standards for the way public entities report information about operating segments in the financial statements. The Company is a REIT focused on real estate investments primarily in the office market and currently operates in only one segment: real estate operations. In December 2011, the Company discontinued the activities of its investment banking segment, which are included in discontinued operations for all periods presented. F-15 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Income Taxes Taxes on income for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 represent taxes incurred by FSP Protective TRS Corp, which is a taxable REIT subsidiary and the State of Texas franchise tax applicable to FSP Corp., which is classified as an income tax for reporting purposes. Taxes on income incurred by FSP Investments, which is a taxable REIT subsidiary, are classified in discontinued operations. Net Income Per Share Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of 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 December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011. The denominator used for calculating basic and diluted net income per share was 93,855,000, 82,937,000, and 81,857,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. Derivative Instruments The Company recognizes derivatives on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that do not qualify, or are not designated as hedge relationships, must be adjusted to fair value through income. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the consolidated balance sheet as either an asset or liability. To the extent hedges are effective, a corresponding amount, adjusted for swap payments, is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity. Amounts are then reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to the income statement in the period or periods the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Ineffectiveness, if any, is recorded in the income statement. The Company periodically reviews the effectiveness of each hedging transaction, which involves estimating future cash flows, at least quarterly. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate 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. The Company currently has no fair value hedges outstanding. Fair values of derivatives are subject to significant variability based on changes in interest rates and counterparty credit risk. The results of such variability could be a significant increase or decrease in our derivative assets, derivative liabilities, book equity, and/or earnings. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There is also an established fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Financial assets and liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows: Level 1 inputs are 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 and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which is typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity or information. 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 including credit risk, which was not significant to the overall value. These inputs were considered and applied to the Company’s derivative, and Level 2 inputs were used to value the interest rate swap. F-16 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Subsequent Events In preparing these consolidated financial statements the Company evaluated events that occurred through the date of issuance of these financial statements for potential recognition or disclosure. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the 2012 and 2011 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to 2013 presentation. The reclassifications were related primarily to a property sold, which is presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Reclassifications of discontinued operations changed rental revenues, operating and maintenance expenses, general & administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization and the related assets. There was no change to net income for any period presented as a result of these reclassifications. Recent Accounting Standards In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This update requires entities to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. This update was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the disclosures in, or presentation of, our consolidated financial statements. 3. Significant Acquisitions During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company acquired three properties with an aggregate of approximately 1,951,000 rentable square feet at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $558 million before deductions of closing costs and adjustments of approximately $3 million. One property is located in Atlanta, Georgia and two properties are located in Denver, Colorado. The Company expensed acquisition costs of approximately $568,000 related to these acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 2013. The purchase price of the properties were 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: $ $ 454,447 110,039 (9,897) 554,589 (in thousands) Real estate assets Value of acquired real estate leases Acquired unfavorable leases Total F-17 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 3.

Such inputs are Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Pro forma operating results for the Company and the acquisition are shown in the following table. The results assume that the properties were acquired on January 1, 2012. The results are not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s actual results of operations would have been for the periods indicated, nor do they purport to represent the results of operations of any future periods.

Related Party Transactions and Investments in Non-Consolidated Entities Investment in Sponsored REITs At December 31, 2013, the Company held an interest in 14 Sponsored REITs, all of which were fully syndicated. At December 31, 2012, the Company held an interest in 15 Sponsored REITs, all of which were fully syndicated. At December 31, 2011, the Company held an interest in 16 Sponsored REITs, all of which were fully syndicated. The Company holds a non- controlling preferred stock investment in two of these Sponsored REITs, 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. In December 2013, the property owned by FSP 505 Waterford Corp. (“505 Waterford”), a Sponsored REIT, was sold and, thereafter, 505 Waterford declared and issued a liquidating distribution for its preferred shareholders. The Company held a mortgage loan secured by the property owned by 505 Waterford in the principal amount of $2,350,000, which was repaid from the proceeds of the sale. In September 2006, the Company purchased 48 preferred shares or 4.6% of the outstanding preferred shares of one of its Sponsored REITs, FSP Phoenix Tower Corp (“Phoenix Tower”). On December 20, 2012, the property owned by Phoenix Tower was sold and, thereafter, Phoenix Tower declared and issued a liquidating distribution for its preferred shareholders, from which the Company was entitled to $4,862,000. The Company received $4,752,000 on January 4, 2013 and $96,000 on September 30, 2013. In connection with its common stock ownership of Phoenix Tower, the Company received $10,000 on September 30, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, the Company held a beneficial interest in the Phoenix Tower liquidating trust in the amount of approximately $14,000, which is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The table below shows the Company’s income and expenses from Sponsored REITs syndicated in 2011. There were no syndications of Sponsored REITs in 2013 or 2012. Management fees of $6,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, and interest expense related to the Company’s mortgages on properties owned by this entity of $197,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, are eliminated in consolidation.

Asset management fee income from non-consolidated entities amounted to approximately $1,078,000, $1,149,000 and $958,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. From time to time the Company may make secured loans (“Sponsored REIT Loans”) to Sponsored REITs in the form of mortgage loans or revolving lines of credit to fund construction costs, capital expenditures, leasing costs and for other purposes. 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 some other 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. Except for the mortgage loan with a revolving line of credit component which bore interest at a fixed rate and was repaid in July 2012 and a mortgage loan which bears interest at a fixed rate, advances under each Sponsored REIT Loan bear interest at a rate equal to the 30-day LIBOR rate plus an agreed upon amount of basis points and most advances also require a 50 basis point draw fee. In December 2011, the Company received a loan fee of $762,000 at the time of the closing of the mortgage loan with a revolving line of credit component. In March 2012, a $300,000 fee was collected in connection with a $30 million draw from the revolving line of credit component. That loan was repaid in full during July 2012 and also included a 0.49% fee collected of $520,000. In July 2012, the Company received a loan fee of $301,000 at the time of the closing of the mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate and a 0.98% fee will be collected on all amounts repaid under the loan. Prior to terminating the activities of its investment banking segment in December 2011, the Company typically made an acquisition loan (“Acquisition Loans”) to each newly-formed Sponsored REIT which was secured by a mortgage on the borrower’s real estate. These loans enabled Sponsored REITs to acquire their respective properties prior to the consummation of the offerings of their equity interests. The Company anticipated that each Acquisition Loan would be repaid at maturity, or earlier, from the proceeds of the Sponsored REIT’s equity offering. Each Acquisition Loan had an original term of two years and bore interest at approximately the same rate paid by FSP Corp. for borrowings under its 2011 Revolver or previous revolving lines of credit. The Company made one Acquisition Loan for the syndication of FSP Union Centre Corp. during 2011, which was repaid on October 20, 2011. There were no Acquisition Loans outstanding at December 31, 2013 and 2012. The following is a summary of the Sponsored REIT Loans outstanding as of December 31, 2013: (dollars in thousands) Sponsored REIT Secured revolving lines of credit FSP Highland Place I Corp.

Related Party Transactions and Investments in Non-Consolidated Entities (continued) Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements The Company recognized interest income and fees from the Sponsored REIT Loans of approximately $5,568,000, $9,798,000, and $3,087,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 5. Bank note payable and term note payable 2013 Term Loan On August 26, 2013, the Company and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a Credit Agreement (the “2013 Credit Agreement”) with the lending institutions referenced in the 2013 Credit Agreement and Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent, to provide for a single unsecured term loan borrowing on the closing date in the amount of $220,000,000 (the “2013 Term Loan”). On August 26, 2013, the Company drew down $220,000,000 under the 2013 Term Loan. The 2013 Term Loan has a seven year term that matures on August 26, 2020. The 2013 Term Loan includes an accordion feature that allows for up to $50,000,000 of additional loans subject to receipt of lender commitments and satisfaction of certain customary conditions. The 2013 Term Loan bears interest at either (i) a rate equal to LIBOR plus 145 to 220 basis points depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio for the applicable period (LIBOR plus 190 basis points, or 2.06% at December 31, 2013) or (ii) a rate equal to the bank’s base rate plus 45 to 120 basis points depending on our total leverage ratio for the applicable period (the bank’s base rate plus 90 basis points, or 4.15% at December 31, 2013). The actual LIBOR rate or base rate is determined based on the Company’s total leverage ratio for the applicable period as described in the table below: Leverage Ratio Greater Than - 25% 35% 45% 55% Less Than or Equal to 25% 35% 45% 55% and and and and LIBOR Margin 145.0 bps 155.0 bps 165.0 bps 190.0 bps 220.0 bps Base Rate Margin 45.0 bps 55.0 bps 65.0 bps 90.0 bps 120.0 bps Although the interest rate on the 2013 Term Loan is variable, the Company fixed the base LIBOR interest rate on the 2013 Term Loan by entering into an interest rate swap agreement. On August 26, 2013, the Company entered into an ISDA Master Agreement with Bank of Montreal that fixed the base LIBOR interest rate on the 2013 Term Loan at 2.32% per annum for seven years. Accordingly, based upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as of December 31, 2013, the interest rate on the 2013 Term Loan was 4.22% per annum. The 2013 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations with respect to indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers and acquisitions, disposition of assets, changes in business, certain restricted payments, the requirement to join certain subsidiaries as co-borrowers under the 2013 Credit Agreement and transactions with affiliates. The 2013 Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum secured leverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio, a maximum unencumbered leverage ratio, a minimum unencumbered debt service coverage ratio, a maximum ratio of certain investments to total assets and a maximum amount of secured recourse indebtedness. The 2013 Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default with corresponding grace periods, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, certain cross defaults and a change in control of the Company (as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement). In the event of a default by the Company, the administrative agent may, and at the request of the requisite number of lenders shall, declare all obligations under the 2013 Credit Agreement immediately due and payable, terminate the lenders’ commitments to make loans under the 2013 Credit Agreement, and enforce any and all rights of the lenders or administrative agent under the 2013 Credit Agreement and related documents. For certain events of default related to bankruptcy, insolvency, and receivership, the commitments of lenders will be automatically terminated and all outstanding obligations of the Company will become immediately due and payable. The Company was in compliance with the 2013 Term Loan financial covenants as of December 31, 2013. F-22 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 5. Bank note payable and term note payable (continued) The Company may use the proceeds of the 2013 Term Loan to finance the acquisition of real properties and for other permitted investments, to finance investments associated with Sponsored REITs, to refinance or retire existing indebtedness and for working capital and other general business purposes, in each case to the extent permitted under the 2013 Credit Agreement. 2012 Credit Facility As of December 31, 2013, the Company had bank notes payable to a group of banks for an unsecured credit facility comprised of both a revolving line of credit and a term loan (the “2012 Credit Facility”). The revolving line of credit portion of the 2012 Credit Facility is for borrowings, at the Company’s election, of up to $500,000,000 (the “2012 Revolver”). The term loan portion of the 2012 Credit Facility is for $400,000,000 (the “2012 Term Loan”). The 2012 Revolver includes an accordion feature that allows for up to $250,000,000 of additional borrowing capacity subject to receipt of lender commitments and satisfaction of certain customary conditions. On September 27, 2012, the Company and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “2012 Credit Agreement”) with the lending institutions referenced in the 2012 Credit Agreement and those lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, letter of credit issuer and swing line lender, for the 2012 Credit Facility. On September 27, 2012, the Company drew down the entire $400,000,000 under the 2012 Term Loan and $82,000,000 under the 2012 Revolver. The Company’s $600,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “2011 Revolver”) that was scheduled to mature on February 22, 2014 was amended and restated in its entirety by the 2012 Credit Agreement and the $482,000,000 in advances outstanding under the 2011 Revolver were repaid from the proceeds of the 2012 Credit Facility. The 2012 Term Loan has a five year term that matures on September 27, 2017. Borrowings made pursuant to the 2012 Revolver may be revolving loans, swing line loans or letters of credit, the combined sum of which may not exceed $500,000,000 outstanding at any time. Borrowings made pursuant to the 2012 Revolver may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time for four years until September 27, 2016, the initial maturity date of the 2012 Revolver. The Company has the right to extend the initial maturity date of the 2012 Revolver by an additional 12 months, or until September 27, 2017, upon payment of a fee and satisfaction of certain customary conditions. The 2012 Credit Facility bears interest at either (i) a rate equal to LIBOR plus 135 to 190 basis points depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing (LIBOR plus 165 basis points, or 1.82% at December 31, 2013) or (ii) a rate equal to the bank’s base rate plus 35 to 90 basis points depending on our total leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing (the bank’s base rate plus 65 basis points, or 3.90% at December 31, 2013). The 2012 Credit Facility also obligates the Company to pay an annual facility fee of 20 to 40 basis points depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio (35 basis points at December 31, 2013). The facility fee is assessed against the total amount of the 2012 Credit Facility, or $900,000,000. The actual amount of any applicable facility fee, LIBOR rate or base rate is determined based on the Company’s total leverage ratio as described in the table below: Leverage Ratio Greater Than - 25% 35% 45% 55% Less Than or Equal to 25% 35% 45% 55% and and and and Facility Fee 20.0 bps 25.0 bps 30.0 bps 35.0 bps 40.0 bps LIBOR Margin 135.0 bps 140.0 bps 145.0 bps 165.0 bps 190.0 bps Base Rate Margin 35.0 bps 40.0 bps 45.0 bps 65.0 bps 90.0 bps For purposes of the 2012 Credit Facility, base rate means, for any day, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of: (i) the bank’s prime rate for such day, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate for such day, plus 1/2 of 1.00%, and (iii) the one month LIBOR base rate for such day plus 1.00%. F-23 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 5. Bank note payable and term note payable (continued) Although the interest rate on the 2012 Credit Facility is variable, under the 2012 Credit Agreement, the Company fixed the base LIBOR interest rate on the 2012 Term Loan by entering into an interest rate swap agreement. On September 27, 2012, the Company entered into an ISDA Master Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. that fixed the base LIBOR interest rate on the 2012 Term Loan at 0.75% per annum for five years. Accordingly, based upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as of December 31, 2013, the interest rate on the 2012 Term Loan was 2.40% per annum. In addition, based upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as of December 31, 2013, there were borrowings of $306,500,000 outstanding under the 2012 Revolver at a weighted average rate of 1.82% per annum. The weighted average interest rate on all amounts outstanding on the 2012 Revolver during the year ended December 31, 2013 was approximately 1.65% per annum. As of December 31, 2012, there were borrowings of $216,750,000 outstanding under the 2012 Revolver at a weighted average rate of 2.23% per annum. As of December 31, 2011, there were borrowings of $449,000,000 outstanding under the 2011 Revolver at a weighted average rate of 2.24% per annum. The 2012 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations with respect to indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers and acquisitions, disposition of assets, changes in business, certain restricted payments, the requirement to join certain subsidiaries as co-borrowers under the 2012 Credit Agreement and transactions with affiliates. The 2012 Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum secured leverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio, a maximum unencumbered leverage ratio, a minimum unencumbered debt service coverage ratio, a maximum ratio of certain investments to total assets and a maximum amount of secured recourse indebtedness. The 2012 Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default with corresponding grace periods, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, certain cross defaults and a change in control of the Company (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement). In the event of a default by the Company, the administrative agent may, and at the request of the requisite number of lenders shall, declare all obligations under the 2012 Credit Agreement immediately due and payable, terminate the lenders’ commitments to make loans under the 2012 Credit Agreement, and enforce any and all rights of the lenders or administrative agent under the 2012 Credit Agreement and related documents. For certain events of default related to bankruptcy, insolvency, and receivership, the commitments of lenders will be automatically terminated and all outstanding obligations of the Company will become immediately due and payable. The Company was in compliance with the 2012 Credit Facility financial covenants as of December 31, 2013. The Company may use the proceeds of the loans under the 2012 Credit Agreement to finance the acquisition of real properties and for other permitted investments; to finance investments associated with Sponsored REITs, to refinance or retire existing indebtedness and for working capital and other general business purposes, in each case to the extent permitted under the 2012 Credit Agreement. 6. Financial Instruments: Derivatives and Hedging On August 26, 2013, the Company fixed the interest rate for seven years on the 2013 Term Loan with an interest rate swap agreement (the “2013 Interest Rate Swap”) and on September 27, 2012, the Company fixed the interest rate for five years on the 2012 Term Loan with an interest rate swap agreement (the “2012 Interest Rate Swap”). The variable rates that were fixed under the 2013 Interest Rate Swap and the 2012 Interest Rate Swap are described in Note 5. The 2013 Interest Rate Swap and the 2012 Interest Rate Swap qualify as cash flow hedges and have been recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. If a derivative qualifies as a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings, which may increase or decrease reported net income and stockholders’ equity prospectively, depending on future levels of interest rates and other variables affecting the fair values of derivative instruments and hedged items, but will have no effect on cash flows. F-24 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 6. Financial Instruments: Derivatives and Hedging The following table summarizes the notional and fair value of our derivative financial instruments at December 31, 2013. The notional value is an indication of the extent of our involvement in these instruments at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks. (in thousands) Notional Value Strike Rate Effective Date Expiration Date Fair Value 2013 Interest Rate Swap 2012 Interest Rate Swap $ $ 220,000 400,000 2.32% 0.75% Aug-13 Sep-12 Aug-20 Sep-17 $ $ (2,044) 5,321 On December 31, 2013, the 2013 Interest Rate Swap was reported as a liability at its fair value of approximately $2.0 million and the 2012 Interest Rate Swap was reported as an asset at its fair value of approximately $5.3 million. These are included in other liabilities: derivative liability and other assets: derivative asset on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013, respectively. Offsetting adjustments are reported as unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments in accumulated other comprehensive income of $4.5 million. During the year ended December 31, 2013, $3.9 million was reclassified out of other comprehensive income and into interest expense. Over time, the unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings as an increase or reduction to interest expense in the same periods in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. We estimate that approximately $1.1 million of the current balance held in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. We are hedging the exposure to variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions in addition to anticipated future interest payments on existing debt. The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments are determined using the net discounted cash flows of the expected cash flows of the derivative based on the market based interest rate curve and are adjusted to reflect credit or nonperformance risk. The risk is estimated by the Company using credit spreads and risk premiums that are observable in the market. These financial instruments were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and were classified as an asset or liability on the consolidated balance sheet. Previously 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 to protect the Company from future interest rate increases on that term loan. 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 Company used approximately $983,000 to terminate the interest rate swap agreement applicable to that term loan. The payment to terminate the interest rate swap liability was amortized into interest expense through October 15, 2011. The interest amortization for the Company's terminated interest rate swap reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $983,000. The effective portion of the loss on outstanding derivative recognized in other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $983,000. F-25 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 7. Stockholders’ Equity Equity Offerings On May 15, 2013, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 17,250,000 shares of its common stock (including 2,250,000 shares issued as a result of the full exercise of an overallotment option by the underwriter) at a price to the public of $14.00 per share. The proceeds from this public offering, net of underwriter discounts and offering costs, totaled approximately $230.7 million (after payment of offering costs of approximately $10.8 million). 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”). The on demand offering sales agreement for the ATM Sales Program was amended on April 27, 2012 in connection with the Company’s filing of a new Registration Statement on Form S-3. 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 MKT 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 year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not sell any shares under the ATM Sales Program. During the year ended December 31, 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. As of December 31, 2013, the Company was authorized to offer and sell a remainder of approximately $34.3 million of its shares of common stock under the ATM Sales Program. Equity-Based Compensation On May 20, 2002, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan is an equity-based incentive compensation plan, and provides for the grants of up to a maximum of 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock ("Awards"). All of the Company's employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors are eligible to be granted awards. Awards under the Plan are made at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors, and have no vesting requirements. Upon granting an Award, the Company will recognize compensation cost equal to the fair value of the Company's common stock, as determined by the Company's Board of Directors, on the date of the grant. The Company has not issued any shares under the Plan since 2005, and there are currently 1,944,428 shares available for grant under the Plan. 8. Federal Income Tax Reporting General 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 distributions 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. F-26 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 8. Federal Income Tax Reporting (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. FSP Investments and FSP Protective TRS Corp. are the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries operating as taxable corporations under the Code. FSP Investments operated in the Company’s investment banking segment and in December 2011 announced it would no longer sponsor the syndication of newly-formed Sponsored REITs, which were a significant amount of FSP Investments activities. Revenues, expenses, and income tax benefits, net of valuation allowances, have been reclassified to discontinued operations for these activities. 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. The Company adopted an accounting pronouncement related to uncertainty in income taxes effective January 1, 2007, which did not result in recording a liability, nor was any accrued interest and penalties recognized with the adoption. Accrued interest and penalties will be recorded as income tax expense, if the Company records a liability in the future. The Company’s effective tax rate was not affected by the adoption. 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 2010 and thereafter. Net operating losses Section 382 of the Code restricts a corporation's ability to use net operating losses (“NOLs") to offset future taxable income following certain "ownership changes." Such ownership changes occurred with past mergers and accordingly a portion of the NOLs incurred by the Sponsored REITs available for use by the Company in any particular future taxable year will be limited. To the extent that the Company does not utilize the full amount of the annual NOLs limit, the unused amount may be carried forward to offset taxable income in future years. NOLs expire 20 years after the year in which they arise, and the last of the Company’s NOLs will expire in 2027. A valuation allowance is provided for the full amount of the NOLs as the realization of any tax benefits from such NOLs is not assured. The gross amount of NOLs available to the Company was $13,041,000, as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. Income Tax Expense The income tax expense reflected in the consolidated statements of income relates primarily to a franchise tax on our Texas properties. FSP Protective TRS Corp. provides taxable services to tenants at some of the Company’s properties and the tax expense associated with these activities are reported in the table as Other Taxes in the table below: (Dollars in thousands) Revised Texas franchise tax Other Taxes Taxes on income For the years ended December 31, 2011 2012 2013 $ $ 462 18 480 $ $ 330 5 335 $ $ 253 14 267 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. F-27 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 8. Federal Income Tax Reporting (continued) In May 2006, the State of Texas enacted a new business tax (the “Revised Texas Franchise Tax”) that replaced its existing franchise tax which the Company became subject to. 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 in income taxes on its income statement of $462,000, $330,000 and $253,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

F-29 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 9. Commitments (continued) The Company has entered into the Sponsored REIT Loans described in Note 4, which provide for up to $111.8 million in borrowings of which $99.7 million have been drawn and are outstanding as of December 31, 2013. The Company anticipates that any advances made will be repaid at their maturity or earlier from long term financing of the underlying properties, cash flows of the underlying properties or some other capital events. 10. Retirement Plan In 2006, the Company established a 401(k) plan to cover eligible employees, which permitted deferral of up to $17,000 per year (indexed for inflation) into the 401(k) plan, subject to certain limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. An employee’s elective deferrals are immediately vested upon contribution to the 401(k) plan. The Company matches employee contributions to the 401(k) plan dollar for dollar up to 3% of each employee’s annual compensation up to $200,000. In addition, we may elect to make an annual discretionary profit-sharing contribution. The Company’s total contribution under the 401(k) plan amounted to $120,000, $109,000 and $131,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 11. Discontinued Operations The Company accounts for sale of properties and assets held for sale as discontinued operations. In December 2011, the Company also discontinued the activities of the investment banking segment. Dispositions of Property The Company sold an office property located in Richardson, Texas on October 29, 2013 at a $2.2 million gain. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company reached a decision to classify its office property located in Southfield, Michigan as an asset held for sale. In evaluating the Southfield, Michigan property, management considered various subjective factors, including the time, cost and likelihood of successfully leasing the property, the effect of the property’s results on its unencumbered asset value, which is part of the leverage ratio used to calculate interest rates in the 2012 Credit Facility and future capital costs to upgrade and reposition the multi-tenant property and to lease up the building, recent leasing and economic activity in the local area, and offers to purchase the property. The Company concluded that selling the property was the more prudent decision and outweighed the potential future benefit of continuing to hold the property. The property was expected to sell within one year at a loss, which was recorded as a provision for loss on a property held for sale of $14.3 million net of applicable income taxes and was classified as an asset held for sale of $0.7 million at September 30, 2012. The Company estimated the fair value of the property, less estimated costs to sell using the offers to purchase the property made by third parties (Level 3 inputs, as there is no active market). The Company sold the property on December 21, 2012 for $0.3 million resulting in a total loss of $14.8 million. The Company sold an industrial property located in Savage, Maryland on June 24, 2011 at a $2.3 million gain and in 2010 reached an agreement to sell a commercial property, located in Falls Church, Virginia, which was sold on January 21, 2011 at a $19.6 million gain. All property dispositions have been classified as discontinued for all periods presented. F-30 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 11.

Date: February 18, 2014 /s/ John G. Demeritt John G. Demeritt Chief Financial Officer This page intentionally left blank. Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company evaluates performance based on Funds From Operations, which we refer to as FFO, as management believes that FFO represents the most accurate measure of activity and is the basis for distributions paid to equity holders. The Company defines FFO as net income (computed 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 impairment charges on properties or investments in non-consolidated REITs, and after adjustments to exclude equity in income or losses from, and, to include the proportionate share of FFO from, non-consolidated 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 have included the NAREIT FFO definition in our table and note that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. 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. The calculations of FFO are shown in the following table: (in thousands): Net income (Gain) loss on sale, less applicable income tax Equity in (earnings) losses of non-consolidated REITs FFO from non-consolidated REITs Depreciation and amortization NAREIT FFO Acquisition costs of new properties For the Year Ended December 31, 2011 2012 2013 $ 19,827 $ 7,633 $ 43,524 (2,158) 14,826 (21,939) (2,033) (4,490) 1,358 2,148 4,124 6,784 79,090 55,518 48,439 80,068 72,318 100,265 568 287 620 Funds From Operations $ 100,833 $ 80,355 $ 72,938 A-1 tegy Corporate Headquarters Corporate Headquarters Franklin Street Properties Corp. 401 Edgewater Place Wakefield, MA 01880 Telephone: 800.950.6288 www.franklinstreetproperties.com Stock Listing Franklin Street Properties Corp.’s Common Stock trades on the NYSE MKT under the symbol “FSP” Transfer Agent American Stock Transfer and Trust Company Operations Center 6201 15th Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11219 Telephone: 800.937.5449 www.amstock.com Outside Counsel Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP 60 State Street Boston, MA 02109 Telephone: 617.526.6000 Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Ernst & Young LLP 200 Clarendon Street Boston, MA 02116 Telephone: 617.266.2000 Investor Relations Contact Franklin Street Properties Corp. 401 Edgewater Place Wakefield, MA 01880 Telephone: 877.686.9496 investorrelations@franklinstreetproperties.com Intergrated Corporate Relations (“ICR”) 685 Third Avenue, 2nd Floor New York, NY 10017 Telephone: 646.277.1200 Annual Meeting Information Thursday, May 15, 2014 11:00 a.m. local time Sheraton Colonial Boston North Hotel and Conference Center 1 Audubon Road Wakefield, MA 01880 Board of Directors George J.
