"We build the buildings for the high tech companies that build the internet"
Cupertino, CA - Mission West Properties, Inc. (AMEX: MSW) reported today that
Funds From Operations ("FFO") for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 was
approximately $13,992,000 or $0.13 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 approximately $18,538,000 or $0.18 per diluted
common share for the same period in 2006. On a sequential quarter basis, FFO for
the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was approximately $0.58 per diluted common
share, which included approximately $0.44 from termination fee income. For the
twelve months ended December 31, 2007, FFO increased to approximately
$114,867,000 or $1.09 per diluted common share from FFO of $86,585,000 or $0.83
per diluted common share for the same period in 2006. Net termination fee income
relating to lease terminations accounted for approximately $51,721,000 or $0.49
per diluted common share and $14,784,000 or $0.14 per diluted common share for
the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Net income per diluted share to common stockholders was $0.08 for the quarter
ended December 31, 2007 compared to $0.27 for the quarter ended December 31,
2006, a per share decrease of approximately 70.4%. Gain on sale of real estate
accounted for approximately $0.15 per diluted common share for the three months
ended December 31, 2006. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, net
income per diluted share to common stockholders was $0.95, up from $0.76 a year
ago, a per share increase of approximately 25%. Net termination fee income
relating to lease terminations accounted for approximately $0.52 and $0.15 per
diluted common share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
The Company announced today that its Board of Directors declared its regular
quarterly dividend on the Company's Common Stock for the first quarter of 2008.
The declared dividend represents a 25.0%, or $0.04 per share, increase over the
Company's prior quarterly dividend of $0.16 per share. The Common Stock dividend
is $0.20 per share and is payable on April 3, 2008 to all Common Stockholders of
Record as of March 31, 2008. The dividend is equivalent to an annual rate of
$0.80 per share, which represents an 8.4 percent annualized yield based on the
latest closing price of $9.53 per share. The Company intends to make regular
quarterly distributions to holders of its Common Stock based upon its cash
avaliable for distribution.

================= =============== =============== ===============
Funds From Operations ("FFO") is a non-GAAP financial measurement used by real
estate investment trusts ("REITs") to measure and compare operating performance.
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 to be
an appropriate supplemental measure of the Company's operating and financial
performance because when compared year over year, it reflects the impact to
operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs,
general and administrative expenses and interest costs, providing a perspective
not immediately apparent from net income. In addition, management believes that
FFO provides useful information about the Company's financial performance when
compared to other REITs since FFO is generally recognized as the industry
standard for reporting the operations of REITs. 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.
