Highlights ----------

PASADENA, Calif., Feb. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Alexandria Real Estate Equities,
Inc. (NYSE: ARE) today announced operating and financial results for the
fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2007.
    For the fourth quarter of 2007, we reported total revenues of $109,616,000
and FFO available to common stockholders of $46,324,000, or $1.46 per share
(diluted), compared to total revenues of $91,907,000 and FFO available to
common stockholders of $39,054,000, or $1.34 per share (diluted), for the
fourth quarter of 2006.  Comparing the fourth quarter of 2007 to the fourth
quarter of 2006, total revenues increased 19%, FFO available to common
stockholders increased 19% and FFO per share (diluted) increased 9%.  For the
year ended December 31, 2007, we reported total revenues of $405,360,000 and
FFO available to common stockholders of $168,200,000, or $5.61 per share
(diluted), net of a preferred stock redemption charge, compared to total
revenues of $310,779,000 and FFO available to common stockholders of
$131,665,000, or $5.16 per share (diluted), for the year ended December 31,
2006.  Comparing the year ended December 31, 2007 to the year ended December
31, 2006, total revenues increased 30%, FFO available to common stockholders
increased 28% and FFO per share (diluted) increased 9%, net of a preferred
stock redemption charge recognized in the first quarter of 2007.  The
preferred stock redemption charge related to the redemption of our Series B
Preferred Stock was approximately $2,799,000.  Excluding the preferred stock
redemption charge, FFO available to common stockholders for the year ended
December 31, 2007 increased by 30% and FFO per share (diluted) increased by
10% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2006.
    FFO is a non-GAAP measure widely used by publicly-traded real estate
investment trusts.  A reconciliation of GAAP net income available to common
stockholders to FFO available to common stockholders, on both an aggregate and
per share diluted basis, is included in the financial information accompanying
this press release.  The primary reconciling item between GAAP net income
available to common stockholders and FFO available to common stockholders is
depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense
for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $26,969,000 and
$22,454,000, respectively.  Depreciation and amortization expense for the
years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $97,335,000 and $74,039,000,
respectively.  Net income available to common stockholders for the fourth
quarter of 2007 was $22,277,000, or $0.70 per share (diluted), compared to net
income available to common stockholders of $16,512,000, or $0.57 per share
(diluted), for the fourth quarter of 2006.  Net income available to common
stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $78,905,000, or $2.63
per share (diluted), compared to net income available to common stockholders
of $57,326,000, or $2.25 per share (diluted), for the year ended December 31,
2006.  In the first quarter of 2007, we recognized a preferred stock
redemption charge of approximately $2,799,000 related to the redemption of our
Series B Preferred Stock.  Excluding the preferred stock redemption charge,
net income available to common stockholders for the year ended December 31,
2007 increased by 43% and net income per share (diluted) increased by 21% as
compared to the year ended December 31, 2006.
    For the fourth quarter of 2007, we executed a total of 43 leases for
approximately 432,000 rentable square feet of space at 29 different properties
(excluding month-to-month leases).  Of this total, approximately 201,000
rentable square feet related to new or renewal leases of previously leased
space and approximately 231,000 rentable square feet related to redeveloped,
developed or previously vacant space.  Of the 231,000 rentable square feet,
approximately 187,000 rentable square feet were delivered from our
redevelopment or development programs, with the remaining approximately 44,000
rentable square feet related to previously vacant space.  Rental rates for
these new or renewal leases were on average approximately 12.4% higher (on a
GAAP basis) than rental rates for expiring leases.  For the year ended
December 31, 2007, we executed a total of 136 leases for approximately
1,583,000 rentable square feet of space at 50 different properties (excluding
month-to-month leases).  Of this total, approximately 896,000 rentable square
feet were for new or renewal leases related to previously leased space and
approximately 687,000 rentable square feet were for redeveloped, developed or
previously vacant space.  Of the 687,000 rentable square feet, approximately
399,000 rentable square feet were delivered from our redevelopment or
development programs, with the remaining approximately 288,000 rentable square
feet for previously vacant space.  Rental rates for new or renewal leases were
on average approximately 9.8% higher (on a GAAP basis) than rental rates for
expiring leases.
    During the fourth quarter of 2007, we acquired one property in the Eastern
Massachusetts market and one property in the New Jersey/Suburban Philadelphia
market with approximately 404,986 aggregate rentable square feet. We paid
approximately $101.2 million cash for the properties and closed two secured
notes payable of $34.0 million and $23.9 million for total consideration of
$159.1 million.  The largest property aggregating approximately 369,831
rentable square feet in the Eastern Massachusetts market is currently occupied
by multiple office tenants.  This property also has an additional
approximately 390,786 developable square feet. Additionally, during the fourth
quarter of 2007, we acquired one development parcel in the Longwood Medical
submarket, Boston, MA., with approximately 350,000 developable square feet
through a joint venture.  The purchase price of this land development parcel
was approximately $70.0 million.  In connection with this purchase, we closed
a $62.0 million pre-construction secured loan of which approximately $38.2
million was drawn and outstanding as of December 31, 2007.
    During the fourth quarter of 2007, we sold one office/industrial property
in the San Francisco Bay market, located south of the city of San Francisco,
with approximately 49,874 rentable square feet. The sale price of this
property was approximately $10.6 million.  As of December 31, 2007, two
properties approximating 136,399 rentable square feet were classified as "held
for sale."  In January 2008, we sold one of these properties located in the
San Diego market approximating 86,962 rentable square feet.  In addition, in
February 2008, we sold four properties in the San Francisco Bay market
aggregating approximately 211,715 rentable square feet. The sales price for
the properties sold in 2008 was approximately $63.5 million. The net proceeds
from these sales were used to repay secured notes payable totaling
approximately $25.2 million with the balance used to reduce outstanding
borrowings on our unsecured line of credit.
    As of December 31, 2007, approximately 88% of our leases (on a rentable
square footage basis) were triple net leases, requiring tenants to pay
substantially all real estate taxes and insurance, common area and other
operating expenses, including increases thereto.  In addition, as of December
31, 2007, approximately 9% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis)
required the tenants to pay a majority of operating expenses.  Additionally,
as of December 31, 2007, approximately 91% of our leases (on a rentable square
footage basis) provided for the recapture of certain capital expenditures and
approximately 94% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) contained
effective annual rent escalations that were either fixed or indexed based on
the consumer price index or another index.
    Based on our current view of existing market conditions and certain
current assumptions, our guidance for FFO per share (diluted) and earnings per
share (diluted) as follows:


                                                    2008
                                                  -------
    FFO per share (diluted)                        $6.10
    Earnings per share (diluted)                   $3.27

                                 (Unaudited)

    Funds from Operations
    Generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") basis accounting for
real estate assets utilizes historical cost accounting and assumes real estate
values diminish over time.  In an effort to overcome the difference between
real estate values and historical cost accounting for real estate assets, the
Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts ("NAREIT") established the measurement tool of Funds From Operations
("FFO").  Since its introduction, FFO has become a widely used non-GAAP
financial measure by REITs.  We believe that FFO is helpful to investors as an
additional measure of the performance of an equity REIT.  We compute FFO in
accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in
its April 2002 White Paper (the "White Paper") and related implementation
guidance, which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized
by other equity REITs, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other
REITs.  The White Paper defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in
accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales, plus real
estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  While FFO is a relevant and
widely used measure of operating performance for REITs, it should not be
considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with
GAAP) as an indication of financial performance, or to cash flows from
operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our
liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs,
including our ability to make distributions.
    The following table presents a reconciliation of net income available to
common stockholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to
FFO, to funds from operations available to common stockholders for the three
months and year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 (in thousands, except per
share data):

    (a) The historical results above exclude the results of assets "held for
        sale" which have been reflected as discontinued operations.

    (b) See page 5 for a reconciliation of earnings per share (diluted) to FFO
        per share (diluted).

    (c) During the first quarter of 2007, we redeemed our 9.10% Series B
        cumulative redeemable preferred stock. Accordingly, in compliance with
        EITF Topic D-42, we recorded a charge of $2,799,000, or $0.10 per
        share (diluted), in the first quarter of 2007 for costs related to the
        redemption of our Series B Preferred Stock.

    (d) Dividend payout ratio (common stock) is the ratio of the absolute
        dollar amount of dividends on our common stock (common stock shares
        outstanding on the respective record date multiplied by the related
        dividend per share) to funds from operations for the respective
        quarter.

    (e) Includes a rental payment of approximately $1.4 million from one
        tenant, the U.S. Government, in the second quarter of 2007. Pursuant
        to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, "Accounting for
        Leases" rental payments due under this lease are recognized on a
        straight-line basis over the lease term.

    (f) As of December 31, 2007, assets for which capitalization of interest
        is required pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
        No. 34, "Capitalization of Interest Cost" ("SFAS 34"), approximated
        $1.1 billion.  This amount is classified as properties undergoing
        development and redevelopment and land held for development on our
        balance sheet. As of December 31, 2007, the weighted average interest
        rate used in the calculation of capitalized interest required pursuant
        to SFAS 34 was approximately 6.27%. SFAS 34 requires the interest rate
        for capitalization to be based on applicable interest costs related to
        borrowings outstanding during the period, including the impact of
        interest rate swap agreements, debt premiums/discounts and
        amortization of loan fees.

    (g) Includes properties "held for sale" during the applicable periods such
        assets were "held for sale." As of December 31, 2007, two properties
        aggregating approximately 136,399 square feet were classified as "held
        for sale."

    (h) During the fourth quarter of 2007, we sold one asset and transferred
        two properties from operating assets to imbedded future development
        opportunities. During the third quarter of 2007, we sold one asset
        located in the New Jersey/Suburban Philadelphia market and four land
        parcels to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. During the
        second quarter of 2007, we sold one asset and transferred three
        properties from operating assets to imbedded future development
        opportunities. During the first quarter of 2007, we sold one asset
        located in the Suburban Washington D.C. market.

    (i) Debt to total market capitalization is the ratio of our share of total
        debt (secured notes payable, unsecured line of credit and unsecured
        term loan and unsecured convertible notes) to total market
        capitalization. Total market capitalization is equal to outstanding
        shares of preferred stock and common stock multiplied by the related
        closing price at the end of each period presented, plus our share of
        total debt.

    (1) The weighted average interest rate is calculated based on outstanding
        debt as of December 31st of the year immediately preceding the year
        presented.

    (2) A secured note payable totaling $34.0 million was repaid in early
        January 2008.  Approximately $76.4 million matures in the fourth
        quarter of 2008.  We are in discussions with our lender to
        extend/refinance this secured loan.

    (3) The unsecured line of credit matures in October 2010 and may be
        extended at our sole option for an additional one year period. The
        unsecured term loan matures in October 2011 and may be extended at our
        sole option for an additional one year period.

    (4) On or after January 15, 2012, we have the right to redeem our 3.70%
        unsecured convertible notes, in whole or in part, at any time from
        time to time, for cash equal to 100% of the principal amounts of the
        notes to be redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but
        excluding, the redemption date. Holders of the notes may require us to
        repurchase their notes, in whole or in part, on January 15, 2012, 2017
        and 2022 for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes
        to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but
        excluding, the repurchase date.  Additional information regarding our
        unsecured convertible notes is contained in our Form 10-K filed with
        the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    (5) Includes minority interests' share of scheduled principal maturities
        including lump sum principal payments of $38.2 million and $211.3
        million in 2009 and thereafter, respectively, of which our share is
        approximately $21.0 million and $190.2 million, respectively.

    (6) Represents the weighted average contractual interest rate plus the
        impact of debt premiums/discounts and our interest rate swap
        agreements. The weighted average interest rate excludes bank fees and
        amortization of loan fees. See page 10 for further details of our
        interest rate swap agreements.

    NOTE:  This summary represents operating data for all properties that were
owned and fully operating for the entire periods presented for the quarter
periods (the "Fourth Quarter Same Properties") and for the full year periods
(the "2007 Same Properties.")  Same property occupancy for the quarters ended
December 31, 2007 and 2006 was 94.9% and 94.0%, respectively.  Same property
occupancy for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was 95.8% and 95.1%,
respectively.  Properties undergoing redevelopment are excluded from same
property results.
    (1) Revenue less operating expenses computed in accordance with GAAP is
        total revenue associated with the Fourth Quarter Same Properties and
        2007 Same Properties, as applicable, (excluding lease termination
        fees, if any) less property operating expenses.  Under GAAP, rental
        revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective
        lease terms.  Revenue less operating expenses on a cash basis is total
        revenue associated with the Fourth Quarter Same Properties and 2007
        Same Properties, as applicable (excluding lease termination fees, if
        any) less property operating expenses, adjusted to exclude the effect
        of straight-line rent adjustments required by GAAP.  Straight-line
        rent adjustments for the quarters ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 for
        the Fourth Quarter Same Properties were $2,020,000 and $5,119,000,
        respectively.  Straight-line rent adjustments for the years ended
        December 31, 2007 and 2006 for the 2007 Same Properties were
        $5,542,000 and $9,334,000, respectively.  We believe that revenue less
        operating expenses on a cash basis is helpful to investors as an
        additional measure of operating performance because it eliminates
        straight-line rent adjustments to rental revenue.

    (2) Fees received from tenants in connection with termination of their
        leases, if any, are excluded from revenue in the Summary of Same
        Property Comparisons. As of December 31, 2007, approximately 88% of
        our leases (on a square footage basis) were triple net leases,
        requiring tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes and
        insurance, common area and other operating expenses, including
        increases thereto. In addition, as of December 31, 2007, approximately
        9% of our leases (on a square footage basis) required the tenants to
        pay a majority of operating expenses.

    Our redevelopment program involves ongoing activities necessary for the
permanent change of use of applicable redevelopment space to office/laboratory
space. Spaces currently built out with laboratory improvements are generally
not placed into our value-add redevelopment program. As required under GAAP,
interest and other costs directly related and essential to the project are
capitalized on redevelopment properties on the basis allocable only to that
portion of space undergoing redevelopment. In addition to properties
undergoing redevelopment, as of December 31, 2007, our asset base contained
imbedded opportunities for future permanent change of use to office/laboratory
space through redevelopment aggregating approximately 1,833,000 rentable
square feet. See Summary of Imbedded Future Development and Redevelopment
Square Footage on page 19.
    (1) This project also includes site work and a multi-story below and above
        ground parking structure to support both the existing building
        undergoing redevelopment and an additional building targeted for
        development in the future.  The entitlement process for this project
        was completed in early 2007.

    In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34,
"Capitalization of Interest Cost" ("SFAS 34") and Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 67, "Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental
Operations of Real Estate Projects" ("SFAS 67"), we are required to capitalize
direct construction, including pre-construction costs, interest, property
taxes, insurance and other costs directly related and essential to the
construction of a project while activities are ongoing to prepare an asset for
its intended use. Pre-construction costs include costs related to the
development of plans and the process of obtaining entitlements and permits
from government authorities. Costs incurred after a project is substantially
complete and ready for its intended use are expensed as incurred. Should
development, redevelopment or construction activity cease, construction costs,
including interest, would no longer be eligible for capitalization, under SFAS
34 and SFAS 67, and would be expensed as incurred.
    (1) Our aggregate construction costs to date approximate $96 per
        developable square foot.  Amount excludes our investment per square
        foot in land.
    (2) In addition, we have the right to develop an additional parcel with
        approximately 442,000 rentable square feet. This square footage is not
        included in the imbedded developable square footage shown on page 19.

    The imbedded future development and redevelopment square footage shown
above represents future ground-up development projects and future
redevelopment (permanent change in use of applicable space to
office/laboratory space) projects. A significant portion of our imbedded
future development square footage is in the development/pre-construction phase
(entitlement, permitting, design, etc.). See discussion on SFAS 34 and SFAS 67
on page 18. The exact date of physical construction will depend on successful
completion of development/pre-construction activities and management's
assessment of overall market conditions. As required under GAAP, direct
construction, interest, property taxes, insurance and other costs directly
related and essential to the development/pre-construction, or construction of
a project, is mandated to be capitalized during pre-construction when
activities are ongoing to bring these assets to their intended use.
    (1) Development/pre-construction square footage is included in Imbedded
        Future Development-Total Imbedded Development Square Footage shown

                           Summary of Capital Costs
                     For the Year ended December 31, 2007

                                (In thousands)


    Property-related capital expenditures (1)         $2,027

    Leasing costs (2)                                   $687

    Property-related redevelopment costs (3)        $162,393

    Property-related development costs (3)          $238,869

    (1) Property-related capital expenditures include all major capital and
        recurring capital expenditures except capital expenditures that are
        recoverable from tenants, revenue-enhancing capital expenditures, or
        costs related to the redevelopment of a property.  Major capital
        expenditures consist of roof replacements and HVAC systems which are
        typically identified and considered at the time the property is
        acquired.  Capital expenditures fluctuate in any given period due to
        the nature, extent or timing of improvements required and the extent
        to which they are recoverable from tenants. Approximately 91% of our
        leases (based on rentable square feet) provide for the recapture of
        certain capital expenditures (such as HVAC systems maintenance and/or
        replacement, roof replacement and parking lot resurfacing).  In
        addition, we implement an active preventative maintenance program at
        each of our properties to minimize capital expenditures.

    (2) Leasing costs consist of tenant improvements and leasing commissions
        related to leasing of acquired vacant space and second generation
        space.

    (3) Amount includes leasing costs related to development and redevelopment
        projects.

Plot exposes fissure in U.S. intelligence community

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Last week's failed plot to bomb a U.S. passenger jet has exposed lingering fissures within the U.S. intelligence community, which had information from interviews and clandestine intercepts but did not put the pieces together, officials said.
