Pham Vice President of Finance and Controller - 2 - Exhibit 99.1 Press Release For Immediate News Release April 13, 2005 MISSION WEST PROPERTIES ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2005 OPERATING RESULTS "We build the buildings for the high tech companies that build the internet" Cupertino, CA - Mission West Properties, Inc. (AMEX/PCX: MSW) reported today that Funds From Operations ("FFO") for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 was $20,308,000 or $0.19 per diluted common share (considering the potential effect of all O.P. units being exchanged for shares of the Company's common stock) as compared to $27,078,000 or $0.26 per diluted common share for the same period in 2004. On a sequential quarter basis, FFO per diluted common share decreased $0.03 compared to the previous quarter ended December 31, 2004. Settlements of former tenants breach of lease lawsuit accounted for approximately $0.01 per diluted share in the fourth quarter 2004. Net income to common stockholders per diluted share was $0.13 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared to $0.19 for the same period in 2004, a per share decrease of approximately 31.6%. Disposition Activity During the first quarter 2005, the Company completed the sale of two R&D properties consisting of 103,000 rentable square feet, which include the R&D properties at 3120 Scott Boulevard, Santa Clara, California and 405 Tasman Drive, Sunnyvale, California. A loss of approximately $2.2 million was realized on the total sales price of $8.5 million for the 3120 Scott property and was recorded in the fourth quarter 2004 as an asset impairment charge under discontinued operations. An estimated gain of approximately $1.4 million will be realized on the total sales price of $4.25 million for the 405 Tasman property. The recorded gain will be based on the installment method of profit recognition since the buyer has not made a sufficient down payment. The Company recorded a $63,000 gain in the first quarter 2005, and the balance of the expected gain is deferred. ACQUISITION ACTIVITY In the first quarter 2005, the Company acquired a 203,800 rentable square foot vacant R&D property located at 5521 Hellyer Avenue in San Jose, California. The total acquisition price for the property was approximately $14.0 million.

As defined by NAREIT, FFO represents net income (loss) before minority interest of unit holders (computed in accordance with GAAP, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management considers FFO an appropriate measure of performance of an equity REIT because, along with cash flows from operating activities, financing activities and investing activities, it provides investors with an understanding of our ability to incur and service debt, and make capital expenditures. FFO should not be considered as an alternative for net income as a measure of profitability or is it comparable to cash flows provided by operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. FFO is not comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other REITs that do not define them exactly as we define FFO.
