LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
Thomas Properties Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:TPGI) reported today the
results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

   The results of operations presented in this release include TPGI's
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
2007. The consolidated net income for the three months ended March 31,
2008 was $219,000 or $0.01 per share compared to consolidated net loss
of $255,000 or $0.02 per share for the three months ended March 31,
2007.

   TPGI's share of after tax cash flow (a non-GAAP financial
measure), for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $6,386,000 or
$0.27 per share compared to after tax cash flow of $3,373,000 or $0.23
per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007. We define after
tax cash flow (ATCF) as net income (loss) excluding the following
items: deferred income taxes, minority interest, non-cash charges for
depreciation and amortization, amortization of loan costs, non-cash
compensation expense, straight-line rent adjustments and fair market
value rent adjustments. ATCF is further described in note (c) to the
financial statements below.

   "During the first quarter we made progress in all facets of our
business," said Jim Thomas, Chairman and CEO. "City National Plaza in
downtown Los Angeles, one of the most significant value add assets
owned by TPG/CalSTRS, was 81.5% leased at March 31, 2008, and we
continue to make improvements to the retail and common areas. We began
significant redevelopment work at the joint venture's Brookhollow
project in Houston to reposition the property and to outfit it for the
pending occupancy of Sterling Bank, which executed a 20-year lease for
211,000 square feet with us in late 2007. Fund raising for the Thomas
High Performance Green Fund continues; we have completed the first
closing of the fund with commitments of $180 million. We look forward
to making investments in high performance, sustainable commercial
buildings through this vehicle."

   Financial schedules follow. Further information is available in
the Supplemental Financial Information for the First Quarter 2008,
which is available in the Investor Relations section (Financial
Information) on TPGI's website.

   (a) EBDT is a non-GAAP financial measure and may not be directly
comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.
We define EBDT as net income (loss) excluding the following items: i)
deferred income tax expense (benefit); ii) minority interests; iii)
non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization; and iv)
amortization of loan costs. EBDT provides a performance measure that,
when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from
changes to occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development
and redevelopment activities, general and administrative expenses, and
interest costs, and provides perspective on operating performance not
immediately apparent from net income. EBDT should be considered only
as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. EBDT
also assists management in identifying trends for purposes of
financial planning and forecasting results. However, the usefulness of
EBDT as a performance measure is limited and EBDT should not be used
as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available
to fund our cash needs. EBDT also should not be used as a supplement
to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities (computed in
accordance with GAAP).

   (b) Based on an interest in our operating partnership of 60.91%
and 45.08% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.

   (c) ATCF is a non-GAAP financial measure and may not be directly
comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.
We define ATCF as net income (loss) excluding the following items: i)
deferred income tax expense (benefit); ii) minority interests; iii)
non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization; iv) amortization
of loan costs; v) non-cash compensation expense; vi) the adjustment to
recognize rental revenues using the straight-line method; and vii) the
adjustment to rental revenue to reflect the fair market value of
rents. Management utilizes ATCF data in assessing performance of our
business operations in period-to-period comparisons and for financial
planning purposes. ATCF should be considered only as a supplement to
net income as a measure of our performance. ATCF should not be used as
a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to
fund our cash needs. ATCF also should not be used as a supplement to
or substitute for cash flow from operating activities (computed in
accordance with GAAP).
