DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Company's office property located at 2200 Renaissance Boulevard in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, aggregating 174,124 square feet, was collateral for a $16.2 million mortgage loan scheduled to mature on December 1, 2012.  The Company had recorded an impairment charge on the property of $9.5 million at December 31, 2010. On March 28, 2012, the Company transferred the deed for 2200 Renaissance Boulevard to the lender in satisfaction of its obligations. As a result, the Company recorded a gain on the disposal of the office property of approximately $4.5 million.

At March 31, 2012, the Company identified as held for sale its 47,700 square foot office building located at 95 Chestnut Ridge Road in Montvale, New Jersey.  The Company determined that the carrying amount of this property was not expected to be recovered from estimated net sales proceeds and, accordingly, recognized a valuation allowance of $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012.  At March 31, 2012, the Company also identified as held for sale three office buildings totaling 222,258 square feet in Moorestown, New Jersey.  The four properties held for sale at March 31, 2012 carried an aggregate book value of $23.9 million, net of accumulated depreciation of $10.0 million, and a valuation allowance of $0.5 million.

The Company has presented all of the above properties as discontinued operations in its statements of operations for all periods presented.

The following table summarizes income from discontinued operations and the related realized gains (losses) and unrealized losses on disposition of rental property, net, for the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:  (dollars in thousands)
