                           FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

This annual report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
federal securities laws. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered
by the safe harbor provisions for  forward-looking  statements  contained in the
Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act of  1995,  and are  including  this
statement  for  purposes  of  complying  with  these  safe  harbor   provisions.
Forward-looking   statements   include  our  discussion  of  "Quantitative   and
Qualitative  Disclosures  about Market Risks" in Item 7A below.  Forward-looking
statements,  which are based on certain  assumptions  and describe future plans,
strategies  and  expectations  of us, are generally  identifiable  by use of the
words "believe,"  "expect,"  "intend,"  "anticipate,"  "estimate,"  "project" or
similar  expressions.  Our  ability to predict  results or the actual  effect of
future plans or strategies is inherently  uncertain.  Factors which could have a
material  adverse effect on the  operations and future  prospects or would cause
actual   results   in  the  future  to  differ   materially   from  any  of  our
forward-looking  statements  of the  Company  include,  but are not  limited to,
changes  in:   economic   conditions   generally  and  the  real  estate  market
specifically,   legislative  or  regulatory  provisions  affecting  the  Company
(including  changes to laws  governing  the  taxation of Real Estate  Investment
Trusts ("REITs")),  availability of capital, interest rates, competition, supply
of and demand for office and  industrial  properties in our current and proposed
market  areas,   tenant  defaults  and  bankruptcies,   and  general  accounting
principles, policies and guidelines applicable to REITs. In addition, the actual
timing of  development,  construction,  and  leasing  on the  projects  that the
Company believes it may acquire in the future is unknown presently.  These risks
and uncertainties,  together with the other risks described from time to time in
our reports and documents  filed with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission,
should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance
should not be placed on such statements (see Item 1A, "Risk Factors").

PART I

ITEM 1.   BUSINESS

ORGANIZATION AND GENERAL BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Mission West Properties,  Inc. (the "Company")  acquires,  markets,  leases, and
manages research and development  ("R&D")  properties,  primarily located in the
Silicon  Valley  portion of the San Francisco Bay Area. As of December 31, 2007,
we owned and managed 109 properties totaling  approximately 7.9 million rentable
square feet of R&D properties  through four limited  partnerships,  or operating
partnerships,  for  which we are the  sole  general  partner.  R&D  property  is
designed  for  research  and  development  and office  uses and,  in some cases,
includes space for light manufacturing operations with loading docks. We believe
that we have one of the  largest  portfolios  of R&D  properties  in the Silicon
Valley.  There are two  tenants  who  individually  lease in  excess of  300,000
rentable square feet from us: Microsoft Corporation and Apple Computer, Inc. For
federal   income   tax   purposes   we   have   operated   as  a   self-managed,
self-administered  and fully  integrated Real Estate  Investment  Trust ("REIT")
since fiscal 1999.

Prior to July 1,  1998,  most of our  properties  were  under the  ownership  or
control of Carl E. Berg,  his brother  Clyde J. Berg,  certain  members of their
respective immediate families, and certain entities in which Carl E. Berg and/or
Clyde J. Berg held  controlling or other ownership  interests,  including Berg &
Berg Developers, Berg & Berg Enterprises,  Inc. and Berg & Berg Enterprises, LLC
(the "Berg Group").  We acquired these properties as of July 1, 1998 by becoming
the  general  partner of each of the four  operating  partnerships  in an UPREIT
transaction.   At  that  time,  we  also  acquired  ten  properties   comprising
approximately  560,000  rentable  square feet from entities  controlled by third
parties in which the Berg Group members were significant owners.

Through various property acquisition  agreements with the Berg Group and subject
to  the  approval  of the  Independent  Directors  Committee  of  the  Board  of
Directors, we have the right to purchase, on pre-negotiated terms, R&D and other
types of office and light industrial  properties that the Berg Group develops in
the future. With in-house development, architectural and construction personnel,
the  Berg  Group  continues  to  focus  on a full  range  of  land  acquisition,
development and construction activities for R&D properties, often build-to-suit,
to meet the demands of Silicon Valley information  technology companies.  As the
developer,  the Berg Group takes on the risks of purchasing the land,  obtaining
regulatory  approvals and permits and financing  construction.  Since  September
1998, we have acquired  approximately  3,275,000 additional rentable square feet
of R&D properties from the Berg Group under these agreements.

Our executive offices are located at 10050 Bandley Drive, Cupertino,  California
95014,  and our telephone  number is (408)  725-0700.  Our website is located at
http://www.missionwest.com.  On our website, you can access, free of charge, our
annual reports on Form 10-K,  quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on
Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished  pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934,  as amended,  as soon as  reasonably
practicable after such material is  electronically  filed with, or furnished to,
the Securities and Exchange  Commission (the "SEC").  A copy of these filings is
available to all interested parties upon written request to "Investor Relations"
at our corporate offices.

We file  annual,  quarterly  and special  reports,  proxy  statements  and other
information  with the SEC.  You may read and copy any  document we file with the
SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.W.,  Washington,  D.C.
20549.  You may  obtain  information  about the  operation  of the SEC's  Public
Reference  Room by calling the SEC at  1-800-SEC-0330.  The SEC also maintains a
website that  contains  reports,  proxy and  information  statements,  and other
information   regarding  registrants  that  file  electronically  with  the  SEC
(http://www.sec.gov).

OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE BERG GROUP

Through a series of transactions  occurring  between May 1997 and December 1998,
we became the vehicle for  substantially  all of the Silicon Valley R&D property
operating  activities of the Berg Group. We are the general partner  pursuant to
the partnership agreements of the operating partnerships and, along with members
of the Berg Group and other individuals,  are party to an acquisition  agreement
dated as of May 14,  1998  and  amended,  as of July 1,  1997,  exchange  rights
agreement and the Berg Land Holdings Option  Agreement.  Each agreement  defines
the material rights and obligations among us, the Berg Group members,  and other
parties to those agreements. Among other things, these agreements give us rights
to:

-    control the operating partnerships;
-    acquire,  subject to approval of the Independent Directors Committee of the
     Board of Directors,  on  pre-negotiated  terms,  all future R&D  properties
     developed  by the Berg Group on land  currently  owned or  acquired  in the
     future; and
-    acquire R&D, office and industrial  properties identified by the Berg Group
     in  California,   Oregon  and  Washington,   subject  to  approval  of  the
     Independent Directors Committee of the Board of Directors.

                                       1

<PAGE>


Under these agreements,  our charter or our bylaws, the Berg Group has the right
to:

-    designate  two  of  five  nominees  for  director  to  be  elected  by  our
     stockholders,  subject to the Berg Group's maintenance of certain ownership
     interests;
-    participate in our securities offerings;
-    exchange their operating partnership interests ("O.P. Units") for shares of
     our common stock;
-    vote on major  transactions,  subject to maintenance  of certain  ownership
     thresholds; and
-    prevent us from  selling  properties  when the sale will have  adverse  tax
     consequences to the Berg Group members.

To comply with REIT requirements that restrict the percentage of the total value
of our stock that may be owned by five or fewer  individuals to 50% or less, our
charter generally  prohibits the direct or indirect ownership of more than 9% of
our common stock by any stockholder.  This limit excludes the Berg Group,  which
has an  aggregate  ownership  limit of 20%.  Currently,  the Berg Group  members
collectively own less than 1% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

Carl E.  Berg,  the  Company's  Chairman  of the  Board of  Directors  and Chief
Executive Officer and the controlling member of the Berg Group, has been engaged
in the  development  and long-term  ownership of Silicon  Valley real estate for
more than 35 years.  In 1969,  Mr. Berg foresaw the rising demand for efficient,
multi-purpose facilities for the rapidly growing information technology industry
in the Silicon  Valley.  Since 1972, in addition to his real estate  activities,
Mr. Berg also has been actively involved in venture capital  investments in many
information technology companies in the Silicon Valley, including such companies
as  Amdahl   Corporation,   Sun   Microsystems,   Inc.,  and  Integrated  Device
Technologies,  Inc. He serves on the board of directors of numerous  information
technology  companies.  These activities have helped Mr. Berg develop a detailed
understanding  of  the  real  estate  requirements  of  information   technology
companies, acquire valuable market information and increase his name recognition
within the venture capital and  entrepreneurial  communities.  These  activities
also  manifest  his  commitment  to the  growth and  success  of Silicon  Valley
companies.  We believe that Mr. Berg's substantial  knowledge of and contacts in
the  information  technology  industry  provide  a  significant  benefit  to the
Company.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

Our  acquisition,  growth and  operating  strategy  incorporates  the  following
elements:

-    working  with  the Berg  Group to take  advantage  of their  abilities  and
     resources to pursue  development  opportunities  which we have an option to
     acquire, on pre-negotiated terms, upon completion and leasing;
-    capitalizing   on   opportunistic   acquisitions   from  third  parties  of
     high-quality  R&D  properties  that provide  attractive  initial yields and
     significant potential for growth in cash-flow;
-    focusing on general  purpose,  single-tenant  Silicon Valley R&D properties
     for  information  technology  companies in order to maintain low  operating
     costs,  reduce tenant  turnover and  capitalize on our  relationships  with
     these companies and our extensive knowledge of their real estate needs; and
-    maintaining prudent financial management  principles that emphasize current
     cash flow while building  long-term  value,  the  acquisition of pre-leased
     properties to reduce  development  and leasing risks and the maintenance of
     sufficient liquidity to acquire and finance properties on desirable terms.

ACQUIRING PROPERTIES DEVELOPED BY THE BERG GROUP

We entered into the Berg Land Holdings Option Agreement dated as of December 29,
1998 and  amended as of June 28,  1999 under which we have an option to purchase
all land acquired, directly or indirectly, by Carl E. Berg or Clyde J. Berg that
has not been improved with completed  buildings and which is zoned,  intended or
appropriate for R&D, office and/or  industrial  development or use in the states
of California,  Oregon and Washington.  Currently, the Berg Land Holdings Option
Agreement gives us the right to acquire future R&D property  developments by the
Berg Group on up to 84 additional acres of land currently controlled by the Berg
Group,  which  could  support  approximately  1.4  million  square  feet  of new
development.  At this time we do not anticipate  acquiring any additional  newly
constructed  R&D properties from the Berg Group for several years because of the
current market conditions in the Silicon Valley.

For example,  in light of the  overcapacity in the Silicon Valley R&D properties
market,  the Berg Group  currently  is seeking  local  government  approval of a
proposed  rezoning  of  the  160-acre   Evergreen  site  to  permit  residential
development  on a substantial  portion of the site.  The  Independent  Directors
Committee, which is responsible for reviewing, evaluating and authorizing action
with respect to any transaction between us and any member of the Berg Group, has
authorized  removal  of the  Evergreen  site  from the  scope  of the Berg  Land
Holdings  Option  Agreement,  subject to the  completion  of the rezoning of the
160-acre  Evergreen site, or portion thereof,  for residential  development.  In
making this  determination,  the Independent  Directors  Committee  considered a

agreement and would remain  eligible for  potential  future  acquisition  by the
Company under the Berg Land Holdings Option Agreement.

As of December  31,  2007,  we had  acquired 22 leased R&D  properties  totaling
approximately  2,133,000  rentable square feet under this agreement at a cost of
approximately  $218.7  million,  for which we issued  8,482,085  O.P.  Units and
assumed  debt of  approximately  $122.3  million.  The  principal  terms  of the
agreement include the following:

-    So long as the Berg  Group  members  and their  affiliates  own or have the
     right to acquire shares  representing at least 65% of our common stock on a
     Fully Diluted basis, or until December 31, 2010, whichever occurs first, we
     will have the option to acquire any building developed by any member of the
     Berg Group on the land subject to the Berg Land Holdings  Option  Agreement
     at such time as the  building  has been  leased.  Upon our  exercise of the
     option,  the option  price will equal the sum of the  following or a lesser
     amount as approved by the Independent Directors Committee:

     1.   the full construction cost of the building; plus
     2.   10% of the full construction cost of the building; plus
     3.   interest at LIBOR plus 1.65%,  on the amount of the full  construction
          cost of the building for the period from the date funds were disbursed
          by the developer to the close of escrow; plus
     4.   the original  acquisition cost of the parcel on which the improvements
          will be constructed,  which range from $8.50 to $20.00 per square foot
          for land currently owned or under option; plus
     5.   10% per annum of the amount of the  original  acquisition  cost of the
          parcel from the later of January 1, 1998 and the seller's  acquisition
          date, to the close of escrow; minus
     6.   the aggregate  principal  amount of all debt  encumbering the acquired
          property.

-    The  acquisition  cost,  net of any debt,  will be payable in cash, or O.P.
     Units  valued at the  average  closing  price of our common  stock over the
     30-trading-day  period preceding the acquisition or, in cash, at the option
     of the Berg Group.
-    We also must assume all property tax assessments.
-    If we elect not to exercise  the option with respect to any  property,  the
     Berg Group may hold and lease the property for its own account, or may sell
     it to a third party.
-    All  action  taken by us under the Berg  Land  Holdings  Option  Agreement,
     including any variations  from stated terms outlined above must be approved
     by a majority of the members of the Independent Directors Committee.

In  addition,  under the  Acquisition  Agreement  Carl E. Berg has agreed not to
directly or indirectly  acquire or develop any real  property  zoned for office,
industrial or R&D use in the states of California, Oregon and Washington without
first  disclosing and making the  acquisition  opportunity  available to us. The
Independent  Directors Committee decides whether we will pursue each opportunity
presented to us by Mr. Berg. This  restriction will expire when there is no Berg
Group  nominee on our board of  directors  and the Berg  Group's  fully  diluted
ownership  percentage,  which is calculated  based on all outstanding  shares of
common  stock and all shares of common  stock that  could be  acquired  upon the
exercise of all outstanding  options to acquire our voting stock, as well as all
shares  of  common  stock  issuable  upon  exchange  of all O.P.  Units  ("Fully
Diluted"), falls below 25%.

As a general  policy which has been  established  by the  Independent  Directors
Committee,  we do not acquire  properties  under the Berg Land  Holdings  Option
Agreement  until they have been leased.  We are  responsible  for a  significant
portion of the leasing process in connection with such acquisitions, however.

The following table presents certain information concerning currently identified
land that we have the right to  acquire  under  the Berg  Land  Holdings  Option
Agreement.

(1)  This land is owned by the TBI joint ventures partnership.  We expect to own
     an approximate 50% interest in the partnership through one of our operating
     partnerships.  The property will be operated and managed by the other joint
     venture partner in the entity.

Although we expect to acquire new properties or joint  ventures  available to us
under the terms of the Berg Land Holdings Option Agreement,  subject to approval
by the  Independent  Directors  Committee,  there  can be no  assurance  that we
actually will consummate any additional transactions.  Furthermore,  we have not
yet  determined  the  means  by  which  we  would  acquire  and pay for any such

                                       3

<PAGE>

properties or the impact of any of the acquisitions on our business,  results of
operations,  financial condition, Funds from Operation ("FFO") or available cash
for  distribution  (see  Item  1A,  "Risk  Factors  - Our  contractual  business
relationships with the Berg Group present additional conflicts of interest which
may result in the  realization  of  economic  benefits  or the  deferral  of tax
liabilities by the Berg Group without equivalent benefits to our stockholders").

Given the downturn and current excess capacity in the Silicon Valley real estate
market  for  R&D/office  properties,  however,  we do  not  expect  to  maintain
historical  levels of growth from  acquisitions of new  developments in the near
future.

OPPORTUNISTIC ACQUISITIONS

In  addition  to our  potential  acquisition  opportunities  under the Berg Land
Holdings Option Agreement, we believe our acquisitions  experience,  established
network of real estate and  information  technology  professionals,  and overall
financial condition will continue to provide  opportunities for external growth.
In  general,  we will seek  opportunistic  acquisitions  of high  quality,  well
located  Silicon  Valley R&D  properties  in  situations  where  illiquidity  or
inadequate  management permit their  acquisition at favorable prices,  and where
our management  skills and knowledge of Silicon Valley submarkets may facilitate
increases in cash flow and asset value.

Furthermore,  our use of the operating  partnership structure allows us to offer
prospective  sellers the opportunity to contribute  properties on a tax-deferred
basis  in  exchange  for  O.P.  Units.  Although  we have  not  consummated  any
transactions on this basis since our July 1, 1998  acquisition of the Berg Group
properties,  this capacity to complete tax-deferred transactions with sellers of
real property further enhances our ability to acquire additional properties.

FOCUS ON SINGLE TENANT SILICON VALLEY R&D PROPERTIES

We intend to continue to emphasize the acquisition of single-tenant  rather than
multi-tenant  properties,  a practice that has  historically  contributed to the
relatively low turnover and higher occupancy rates on our properties. We believe
that the relatively  small number of tenants (79 total) leasing our  properties,
mostly under the triple net lease structure, allows us to efficiently manage the
properties and to serve our tenants' needs without  extensive  in-house staff or
the assistance of a third-party property management  organization.  In addition,
this  emphasis  allows us to incur  less  expense  for tenant  improvements  and
leasing  commissions than  multi-tenant,  high turnover  property  owners.  This
strategy also reduces the time and expense  associated  with obtaining  building
permits and other governmental approvals. We believe that the relatively stable,
extended  relationships that we have developed with our key tenants are valuable
in the expansion of our business.

RECENT RENTAL MARKET DEVELOPMENTS AND THEIR IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS

All of the  Company's  properties  are located in the Northern  California  area
known as Silicon  Valley,  which  generally  consists of portions of Santa Clara
County,  Southwestern Alameda County,  Southeastern San Mateo County and Eastern
Santa Cruz County.  In the past several  years,  the Silicon Valley R&D property
market has  fluctuated  with the local  economy.  The Silicon Valley economy and
business  activity  slowed  markedly  during 2001 through 2006 after  fast-paced
growth in 1999 and 2000, and has been growing steadily since then.  According to
a recent  report by NAI BT  Commercial  Real Estate (the "BT  Report"),  vacancy
rates for Silicon Valley R&D property decreased from approximately 18.3% in late
2006 to 16.6% at the end of 2007.  Total  vacant R&D  square  footage in Silicon
Valley  at the end of the  fourth  quarter  of  2007  amounted  to 25.3  million
rentable square feet, of which 14.2%,  or 3.6 million  rentable square feet, was
sublease  space.  According  to  the BT  Report  in  2006,  total  positive  net
absorption  (which is the  computation of gross square footage leased less gross
new square footage vacated for the period  presented)  amounted to approximately
1.9 million  rentable  square feet,  and in 2007,  there was total  positive net
absorption of  approximately  2.9 million rentable square feet as local economic
conditions improved.  According to the BT Report, average asking market rent per
square  foot was $1.26 and $0.99 at  year-end  for 2007 and 2006,  respectively,
although individual  properties within any particular submarket presently may be
leased above or below the current average asking market rental rates within that
submarket and the region as a whole.  Moreover,  the impact of vacancies has not
been uniform  throughout  the area.  The Silicon  Valley R&D property  market is
characterized by a substantial number of submarkets, with rent and vacancy rates
varying by submarket and location within each submarket.

In addition,  leasing activity for new  build-to-suit and vacated R&D properties
has slowed  considerably during the past several years. The time to complete the
marketing and lease up of vacant space has increased  from an average of several
months  to  as  much  as an  average  of 18 to 36  months  as a  result  of  the
over-supply of R&D properties in the market.

For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006,  occupancy for leased properties
in our portfolio was 61.7% and 69.5%, respectively.

                                       4
<PAGE>

Despite our strategic focus on single tenant  properties and leases, in order to
meet market  conditions we have been, and expect to continue,  leasing less than
the entire  premises of some of our R&D  properties to a single tenant from time
to time. Leasing our R&D properties,  which generally have been built for single
tenant  occupancy,  to multiple  tenants tends to increase our leasing costs and
operating  expenses  and reduce the  profitability  of our  leasing  activities.
Although  we  scrutinize  each   prospective   tenant's   creditworthiness   and
continually evaluate the financial capacity of both our prospective and existing
tenants, a downturn in tenants'  businesses may weaken their financial condition
and could result in defaults under their lease obligations.

We believe that the average 2008 renewal rental rates for our properties will be
approximately  equal  to,  or  perhaps,   below  current  market  rents.  Leases
representing  approximately  328,000  rentable  square feet, or 1.6% of our 2008
cash rent,  are  scheduled to expire  during  2008.  If we are unable to lease a
significant  portion of any vacant  space or space  scheduled  to expire;  if we
experience  significant  tenant  defaults  as a result of the  current  economic
downturn; if we restructure existing leases and lower existing rents in order to
retain  tenants  for an  extended  term;  if we  increase  our  lease  costs and
operating  expenses  substantially  to accommodate  multiple  tenants in our R&D
properties;  or if we are not able to lease  space  at or above  current  market
rates, our results of operations and cash flows will be affected adversely.

OPERATIONS

We operate as a  self-administered,  self-advised and self-managed REIT with our
own employees.  As the sole general  partner of the operating  partnerships,  we
control the business and assets of the operating  partnerships and have full and
complete authority,  discretion and responsibility with respect to the operating
partnerships'  operations  and  transactions,   including,  without  limitation,
acquiring additional properties,  borrowing funds, raising new capital,  leasing
buildings   and  selecting   and   supervising   all  agents  of  the  operating
partnerships.

Although most of our leases are triple net and building  maintenance  and tenant
improvements are the responsibility of the tenants,  from time to time we may be
required to undertake  construction  and repair work at our properties.  We will
bid all major work  competitively to  subcontractors.  Members of the Berg Group
may participate in the competitive  bidding for the work, but all contracts with
the Berg Group are subject to review and approval by the  Independent  Directors
Committee.

We generally will market our properties and negotiate leases ourselves.  We make
the  availability of our properties  known to the brokerage  community to garner
their  assistance in locating  prospective  tenants,  however.  As a result,  we
expect to retain our policy of paying fixed commissions to tenants' brokers.

We believe that our business  practices provide us with competitive  advantages,
including -

-    EXTERNAL DEVELOPMENT  AFFILIATE.  We have the option to purchase all future
     R&D, office,  industrial property  developments of the Berg Group under the
     Berg Land  Holdings  Option  Agreement on land  currently  held or acquired
     directly or  indirectly  by Carl E. Berg or Clyde J. Berg that is zoned for
     those purposes and located in California,  Oregon and Washington  following
     completion  and  lease-up  of  the  property.  The  acquisition  terms  and
     conditions   for  the   existing   and   identified   projects   have  been
     pre-negotiated  and are  documented  under  the Berg Land  Holdings  Option
     Agreement.  This  relationship  provides us with the  economic  benefits of
     development  while  eliminating  development and initial lease-up risks. It
     also  provides  us with access to one of the most  experienced  development
     teams in the Silicon Valley without the expense of maintaining  development
     personnel.

-    LEAN  ORGANIZATION,  EXPERIENCED TEAM. In part because of our primary focus
     on Silicon Valley, our experience with the special real estate requirements
     of information technology tenants and the long-term triple-net structure of
     our  leases,  we are able to conduct and expand our  business  with a small
     management team comprised of highly qualified and experienced professionals
     working within a relatively flat organizational  structure. We believe that
     the  leanness  of our  organization  and our  experience  will enable us to
     rapidly  assess and  respond  to market  opportunities  and  tenant  needs,
     control operating expenses and develop and maintain excellent relationships
     with  tenants.  We further  believe that these  advantages  translate  into
     significantly  lower costs for  operations  and give us the ability,  along
     with  the  Berg  Group,  to  compete  favorably  with  other  R&D  property
     developers in Silicon Valley, especially for build-to-suit projects subject
     to competitive bidding.  Furthermore,  we believe this lower cost structure
     allows us to generate  better  returns from  properties  whose value can be
     increased through appropriate remodeling and efficient property management.

-    SOUND PROPERTY  MANAGEMENT  PRACTICES.  For each  property,  the management
     team,  along with the Berg Group staff,  develops a specific  marketing and
     property  management  program.  We select vendors and  subcontractors  on a
     competitive  bid basis from a select group of highly  qualified  firms with
     whom we maintain ongoing relationships and carefully supervise their work.

OPERATING PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENTS

MANAGEMENT

The operating partnerships consist of four separate limited partnerships engaged
in the combined  operation  and ownership of all our  properties.  The operating
partnership  agreements  are identical in all material  respects for all four of
the limited partnerships.  Pursuant to the operating partnership agreements,  we
act as the sole general partner of the operating partnerships, in which capacity
we  have  exclusive  control  of  the  business  and  assets  of  the  operating
partnerships  and generally  have full and complete  authority,  discretion  and
responsibility  with  respect  to the  operating  partnerships'  operations  and
transactions,   including,   without  limitation,   acquisitions  of  additional
properties,  borrowing funds, raising new capital, leasing buildings, as well as
selecting   and   supervising   all   employees  and  agents  of  the  operating
partnerships.  Through our  authority to manage our  business  and affairs,  our
Board of Directors directs the business of the operating partnerships.

Notwithstanding  our effective control of the operating  partnerships,  the Berg
Group holds a substantial majority of the outstanding O.P. Units and the consent
of the limited  partners  holding a majority of the  outstanding  O.P.  Units is
required with respect to certain  extraordinary  actions involving the operating
partnerships, including:

-    the amendment,  modification  or  termination of the operating  partnership
     agreements;
-    a general  assignment for the benefit of creditors or the  appointment of a
     custodian,  receiver  or  trustee  for any of the  assets of the  operating
     partnerships;
-    the   institution  of  any  proceeding  for  bankruptcy  of  the  operating
     partnerships;
-    the  transfer  of  any  general  partnership  interests  in  the  operating
     partnerships,  including,  with certain exceptions,  transfers attendant to
     any merger, consolidation or liquidation of our corporation;
-    the  admission  of any  additional  or  substitute  general  partner in the
     operating partnerships; and
-    a change of control of the operating partnerships.

In addition,  until the ownership  interest of the Berg Group and its affiliates
is less than 15% of the common stock on a Fully  Diluted  basis,  the consent of
the limited  partners  holding a majority of the outstanding  O.P. Units is also
required with respect to:

-    the liquidation of the operating partnerships;
-    the sale or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
     operating  partnerships  and  certain  mergers  and  business  combinations
     resulting in the complete disposition of all O.P. Units; and
-    the  issuance  of limited  partnership  interests  having  seniority  as to
     distributions, assets and voting over the O.P. Units.

TRANSFERABILITY OF O.P. UNITS

The  operating  partnership  agreements  provide  that the limited  partners may
transfer their O.P. Units,  subject to certain  limitations.  Except for certain
transfers  by the  limited  partners  to or from  certain  of their  affiliates,
however,  all transfers  may be made only with our prior written  consent as the
sole general partner of the operating partnerships.

In addition,  no transfer of O.P.  Units by the limited  partners may be made in
violation  of  certain  regulatory  and  other  restrictions  set  forth  in the
operating  partnership  agreements.  Except  in the  case of  certain  permitted
transfers to or from certain  affiliates of the limited  partners,  the exchange
rights,  the put rights,  rights to participate in future equity  financings and
provisions  requiring  the  approval  of certain  limited  partners  for certain
matters  will no longer be  applicable  to O.P.  Units so  transferred,  and the
transferee  will  not  have any  rights  to  nominate  persons  to our  Board of
Directors.

ADDITIONAL CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND LOANS

Each operating partnership agreement provides that, if the operating partnership
requires additional funds to pursue its investment objectives,  we may fund such
investments  by  raising   additional   equity  capital  and  making  a  capital
contribution  to the  operating  partnerships  or by  borrowing  such  funds and
lending the net  proceeds  of such loans to the  operating  partnerships.  If we
intend to  provide  additional  funds  through a  contribution  to  capital  and
purchase of units of general  partnership  interest,  the limited  partners will
have the right to  participate  in such funding on a pro rata,  pari passu basis
and to acquire additional O.P. Units. If the limited partners do not participate
in such  financing,  we will  acquire  additional  units of general  partnership
interest. In either case, the number of additional units of partnership interest
will be increased based upon the amount of the additional capital  contributions
and the value of the operating  partnerships  as of the date such  contributions
are made.

In  addition,  as general  partner of the  operating  partnerships,  we have the
ability to cause the operating  partnerships to issue  additional O.P. Units. In
the event that the operating  partnerships issue new O.P. Units for cash but not
property, the limited partners will have

                                       6
<PAGE>

the right to purchase  new O.P.  Units at the price we offer in the  transaction
giving rise to such  participation  right in order, and to the extent necessary,
to maintain their respective percentage interests in the operating partnerships.

EXCHANGE RIGHTS, PUT RIGHTS AND REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Under the Exchange Rights  Agreement  between us and the limited  partners,  the
limited  partners have exchange  rights that  generally  became  exercisable  on
December 29, 1999. The Exchange Rights  Agreement  permits every limited partner
to tender O.P.  Units to us, and, at our election,  to receive common stock on a
one-for-one basis at then-current market value, an equivalent amount of cash, or
a combination of cash and common stock in exchange for the O.P. Units  tendered,
subject to the 9% overall ownership limit imposed on non-Berg Group stockholders
under our charter  document,  or the overall 20% Berg Group ownership  limit, as
the case may be. For more information,  please refer to Item 1A, "Risk Factors -
Failure to satisfy  federal income tax  requirements  for REITs could reduce our
distributions,  reduce  our  income  and cause our  stock  price to fall."  This
exchange  ratio is subject to  adjustment  for stock  splits,  stock  dividends,
recapitalizations of our common stock and similar types of corporate actions. In
addition,  once in each 12-month period  beginning each December 29, the limited
partners, other than Carl E. Berg and Clyde J. Berg, may exercise a put right to
sell their O.P.  Units to the  operating  partnerships  at a price  equal to the
average  market  price  of the  common  stock  for  the  10-trading  day  period
immediately  preceding the date of tender.  Upon any exercise of the put rights,
we will  have  the  opportunity  for a  period  of 15 days to  elect to fund the
purchase of the O.P. Units and purchase  additional general partner interests in
the  operating  partnerships  for cash,  unless the  purchase  price  exceeds $1
million in the aggregate for all tendering limited partners,  in which case, the
operating  partnerships  or we will be  entitled,  but not  required,  to reduce
proportionally  the  number of O.P.  Units to be  acquired  from each  tendering
limited  partner so that the total  purchase  price is not more than $1 million.
Through December 31, 2007 no limited partner ever has exercised this put right.

The number of shares of our common  stock  issuable  in  exchange  for the total
number  of O.P.  Units  outstanding  at July 1, 1998 and the O.P.  Units  issued
pursuant to the Pending Projects Acquisition Agreement were registered under the
Securities  Act  and  generally  may be sold  without  restriction  if they  are
acquired by limited partners that are not affiliates,  as defined under SEC Rule
144.  For more  information  please  refer to Item 1A,  "Risk  Factors  - Shares
eligible  for future  sale could  affect the  market  price of our  stock."  The
Exchange  Rights  Agreement  gives  the  holders  of O.P.  Units  the  right  to
participate in any registered  public  offering of the common stock initiated by
us to the extent of 25% of the total shares sold in the offering upon converting
O.P. Units to shares of common stock, but subject to the underwriters' unlimited
right to reduce the  participation of all selling  stockholders.  The holders of
O.P.  Units will be able to  request  resale  registrations  of shares of common
stock acquired on exchange of O.P.  Units on a Form S-3, or any equivalent  form
of registration statement,  subject to limitations and restrictions contained in
the Exchange  Rights  Agreement.  In April 2006,  we registered up to 86,088,095
shares of common stock issuable on exchange of O.P. Units for resale pursuant to
the  prospectus  included in a  registration  statement on Form S-3 that the SEC
declared effective on April 28, 2006. We intend to maintain the effectiveness of
this registration  statement in order to facilitate re-sales of shares of common
stock acquired by O.P. Unit holders from time to time without volume limitations
or other resale restrictions under SEC Rule 144.

OTHER MATTERS

The operating partnership  agreements require that the operating partnerships be
operated in a manner that will enable us to satisfy the  requirements  for being
classified as a REIT and to avoid any federal income or excise tax liability.

The  operating  partnership  agreements  provide that the combined net operating
cash  flow  from  all the  operating  partnerships,  as well  as net  sales  and
refinancing proceeds, will be distributed from time to time as determined by our
Board  of  Directors,  but not  less  frequently  than  quarterly,  pro  rata in
accordance   with  the   partners'   percentage   interests  in  the   operating
partnerships, taken as a whole. This provision is intended to cause the periodic
distributions  per O.P. Unit and per share of our common stock to be equal. As a
consequence of this provision,  the capital interest of a partner in each of the
operating partnerships,  including our capital interests,  might at times differ
significantly from the partner's  percentage interest in the net income and cash
flow of that  operating  partnership.  We do not believe  that such  differences
would have a  material  impact on our  business,  financial  condition  or funds
available for distributions, however.

Pursuant to the operating  partnership  agreements,  the operating  partnerships
will also assume and pay when due, or reimburse us for payment of, certain costs
and expenses relating to our continuity of existence and operations.

The  operating  partnership  agreements  provide  that,  upon the exercise of an
outstanding  option  under the 2004 Equity  Incentive  Plan  (including  options
granted originally under the 1997 Stock Option Plan), we may purchase additional
general partner  interests in the operating  partnerships  by  contributing  the
exercise proceeds to the operating partnerships. Our increased interest shall be
equal to the percentage of outstanding  shares of common stock and O.P. Units on
an  as-converted  basis  represented by the shares acquired upon exercise of the
option.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

YOU SHOULD  CAREFULLY  CONSIDER THE  FOLLOWING  RISKS,  TOGETHER  WITH THE OTHER
INFORMATION  CONTAINED  ELSEWHERE IN THIS FORM 10-K. THE FOLLOWING  RISKS RELATE
PRINCIPALLY TO OUR BUSINESS AND THE INDUSTRY IN WHICH WE OPERATE.  THE RISKS AND
UNCERTAINTIES CLASSIFIED BELOW ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WE FACE.

WE ARE  DEPENDENT ON CARL E. BERG,  AND IF WE LOSE HIS SERVICES OUR BUSINESS MAY
BE HARMED AND OUR STOCK PRICE COULD FALL.

We are substantially dependent upon the leadership of Carl E. Berg, our Chairman
and Chief  Executive  Officer.  Losing Mr. Berg's  knowledge and abilities could
have a  material  adverse  effect on our  business  and the value of our  common
stock.  Mr. Berg manages our  day-to-day  operations  and devotes a  significant
portion  of his  time to our  affairs,  but he has a number  of  other  business
interests as well.  These other  activities  reduce Mr. Berg's  attention to our
business.

MR.  BERG  AND  HIS  AFFILIATES  EFFECTIVELY  CONTROL  OUR  CORPORATION  AND THE
OPERATING  PARTNERSHIPS  AND MAY ACT IN WAYS THAT ARE  DISADVANTAGEOUS  TO OTHER
STOCKHOLDERS.

SPECIAL BOARD VOTING PROVISIONS
Our  governing  corporate  documents,  which are our articles of  amendment  and
restatement,  or charter, and our bylaws, provide substantial control rights for
the Berg Group. The Berg Group's control of our corporation means that the value
and returns from an investment in the Company's  common stock are subject to the
Berg Group's exercise of its rights. These rights include a requirement that Mr.
Berg or his designee as director approve certain fundamental  corporate actions,
including amendments to our charter and bylaws and any merger,  consolidation or
sale of all or substantially all of our assets. In addition,  our bylaws provide
that a quorum  necessary to hold a valid meeting of the Board of Directors  must
include Mr. Berg or his  designee.  The rights  described  in the two  preceding
sentences  apply only as long as the Berg Group  members  and their  affiliates,
other  than  us  and  the  operating  partnerships,  beneficially  own,  in  the
aggregate,  at least 15% of our  outstanding  shares of common  stock on a Fully
Diluted basis. Also, directors representing more than 75% of the entire Board of
Directors must approve other  significant  transactions,  such as incurring debt
above certain  amounts and conducting  business other than through the operating
partnerships.  Without the  approval of Mr. Berg or his  designee,  the Board of
Directors'  approval that we may need for actions that might result in a sale of
your stock at a premium or  raising  additional  capital  when  needed  could be
difficult or impossible to obtain.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS REPRESENTATION
The Berg Group members have the right to designate two of the director  nominees
submitted by our Board of Directors to stockholders for election, as long as the
Berg  Group  members  and  their  affiliates,  other  than us and the  operating
partnerships,   beneficially  own,  in  the  aggregate,  at  least  15%  of  our
outstanding  shares of common stock  calculated on a Fully Diluted basis. If the
Fully Diluted  ownership of the Berg Group members and their  affiliates,  other
than us and the operating partnerships,  is less than 15% but is at least 10% of
the common stock,  the Berg Group members have the right to designate one of the
director  nominees  submitted  by our Board of  Directors  to  stockholders  for
election.  Its right to  designate  director  nominees  affords  the Berg  Group
substantial  control and  influence  over the  management  and  direction of our
corporation. The Berg Group's interests could conflict with the interests of our
stockholders and could adversely affect the price of our common stock.

SUBSTANTIAL OWNERSHIP INTEREST
The Berg Group currently owns O.P. Units representing approximately 74.1% of the
equity interests in the operating  partnerships and  approximately  73.9% of our
equity  interests on a Fully Diluted basis. The O.P. Units may be converted into
shares of common  stock,  subject to  limitations  set forth in our  charter and
other agreements with the Berg Group, and upon conversion would represent voting
control of our corporation.  The Berg Group's ability to exchange its O.P. Units
for common stock permits it to exert  substantial  influence over the management
and direction of our corporation. This influence increases our dependence on the
Berg Group.

LIMITED PARTNER APPROVAL RIGHTS
Mr. Berg and other limited partners,  including other members of the Berg Group,
may restrict our  operations and  activities  through rights  provided under the
terms of the amended and restated agreement of limited partnership which governs
each of the operating  partnerships and our legal relationship to each operating
partnership as its general partner. Matters requiring approval of the holders of
a majority of the O.P. Units,  which  necessarily  would include the Berg Group,
include the following:

-    the  amendment,  modification  or  termination  of  any  of  the  operating
     partnership agreements;
-    the  transfer  of  any  general  partnership   interest  in  the  operating
     partnerships,  including,  with certain exceptions,  transfers attendant to
     any  merger,  consolidation  or  liquidation  of  our  corporation;
-    the  admission of any  additional  or  substitute  general  partners in the
     operating  partnerships;
-    any other change of control of the operating partnerships;
-    a general  assignment for the benefit of creditors or the  appointment of a
     custodian,  receiver  or  trustee  for any of the  assets of the  operating
     partnerships; and

                                       9
<PAGE>

-    the institution of any bankruptcy proceeding for any operating partnership.

In addition, as long as the Berg Group members and their affiliates,  other than
us and the operating partnerships,  beneficially own, in the aggregate, at least
15% of the  outstanding  shares of common stock on a Fully  Diluted  basis,  the
consent of the  limited  partners  holding  the right to vote a majority  of the
total number of O.P. Units outstanding is also required with respect to:

-    the sale or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
     operating  partnerships  and  certain  mergers  and  business  combinations
     resulting in the complete disposition of all O.P. Units;
-    the issuance of limited  partnership  interests senior to the O.P. Units as
     to distributions, assets and voting; and
-    the liquidation of the operating partnerships.

The  liquidity of an investment  in the  Company's  common stock,  including our
ability to respond to  acquisition  offers,  will be subject to the  exercise of
these rights.

OUR CONTRACTUAL  BUSINESS  RELATIONSHIPS  WITH THE BERG GROUP PRESENT ADDITIONAL
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST,  WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE REALIZATION OF ECONOMIC BENEFITS
OR THE DEFERRAL OF TAX LIABILITIES BY THE BERG GROUP WITHOUT EQUIVALENT BENEFITS
TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS.

Our contracts with the Berg Group provide it with interests that could conflict
with those of our other stockholders, including the following:

-    our headquarters are leased from an entity owned by the Berg Group, to whom
     we pay rent of $8,020 per month;
-    the Berg Group is permitted to conduct real estate and business  activities
     other than our business;
-    if we decline an  opportunity  that has been  offered to us, the Berg Group
     may pursue it,  which  would  reduce the amount of time that Mr. Berg could
     devote to our affairs and could result in the Berg Group's  development  of
     properties that compete with our properties for tenants;
-    in general,  we have agreed to limit the liability of the Berg Group to our
     corporation and our  stockholders  arising from the Berg Group's pursuit of
     these other opportunities;
-    we acquired most of our  properties  from the Berg Group on terms that were
     not negotiated at arm's length and without many  customary  representations
     and  warranties  that  we  would  have  sought  in an  acquisition  from an
     unrelated party; and
-    we have assumed liability for debt to the Berg Group and debt for which the
     Berg Group was liable.

The Berg Group has agreed that the Independent  Directors Committee of our Board
of  Directors  must  approve  all  new  transactions  between  us and any of its
members, or between us and any entity in which it directly or indirectly owns 5%
or more of the equity interests,  including the operating  partnerships for this
purpose.   This  committee   currently  consists  of  three  directors  who  are
independent of the Berg Group.

BERG LAND HOLDINGS
The Berg Group owns several  parcels of  unimproved  land in the Silicon  Valley
that the operating partnerships and we have the right to acquire under the terms
of the Berg Land  Holdings  Option  Agreement.  We have  agreed to pay an amount
based on pre-negotiated  terms for any of the properties that we do acquire.  We
must pay the  acquisition  price in cash  unless the Berg Group  elects,  in its
discretion,  to receive O.P. Units valued at the average market price of a share
of common stock during the 30-trading-day period preceding the acquisition date.
At the time of acquisition,  which is subject to the approval of the Independent
Directors  Committee,  these properties may be encumbered by debt that we or the
operating  partnerships will be required to assume or repay. The use of our cash
or an increase in our  indebtedness  to acquire  these  properties  could have a
material  adverse effect on our financial  condition,  results of operations and
ability to make cash  distributions  to our  stockholders.  This  agreement will
expire on  December  31,  2010,  after which we will no longer have the right to
acquire properties from the Berg Group or the  pre-determined  terms provided in
that agreement.

TAX CONSEQUENCES OF SALE OF PROPERTIES
Many of our  properties  have  unrealized  taxable  gain,  and a sale  of  those
properties could create adverse income tax consequences for the limited partners
of the operating  partnerships.  We have agreed with Carl E. Berg, Clyde J. Berg
and John Kontrabecki,  a limited partner in one of the operating partnerships as
of December 31, 2007,  that prior to December 29, 2008, each of them may prevent
us and the  operating  partnerships  from  selling  or  transferring  any of the
properties  that were acquired from them in our July 1998 UPREIT  acquisition if
the proposed sale or other transfer will be a taxable transaction.  As a result,
our  opportunities to sell these  properties may be limited.  If we need to sell
any of  these  properties  to  raise  cash to  service  our  debt,  acquire  new
properties,  pay cash distributions to stockholders or for other working capital
purposes,  we may be unable to do so. These restrictions could harm our business
and cause our stock price to fall.


                                       10

TERMS OF TRANSFERS: ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
The terms of the Pending Projects Acquisition Agreement,  the Berg Land Holdings
Option Agreement,  the partnership  agreement of each operating  partnership and
other  material  agreements  through which we have acquired our interests in the
operating  partnerships and the properties formerly controlled by the Berg Group
were  not  determined  through  arm's-length  negotiations  and  could  be  less
favorable to us than those obtained from an unrelated  party.  In addition,  Mr.
Berg and representatives of the Berg Group sitting on our Board of Directors may
be subject to conflicts of interests  with respect to their  obligations  as our
directors to enforce the terms of the  partnership  agreement of each  operating
partnership when such terms conflict with their personal interests. The terms of
our  charter  and  bylaws  also  were  not   determined   through   arm's-length
negotiations.  Some of these terms,  including  representations  and  warranties
applicable to acquired  properties,  are not as favorable as those that we would
have sought  through  arm's-length  negotiations  with unrelated  parties.  As a
result,  an  investment  in our  common  stock  may  involve  risks not found in
businesses  in which the terms of material  agreements  have been  negotiated at
arm's length.

RELATED PARTY DEBT
We are  liable  under a  mortgage  loan of $9.2  million  due June  2010 that we
assumed in connection with our  acquisition of the 5300-5350  Hellyer Avenue R&D
properties  that we  acquired  in May 2000 under the Berg Land  Holdings  Option
Agreement.  In October 2005, the Independent  Directors  Committee  approved the
termination of the $20 million line of credit agreement  between the Company and
the Berg Group  effective  October 31,  2005.  The Berg Group line of credit was
originally  scheduled  to mature in March  2006.  If we are  unable to repay our
debts to the Berg Group when due,  the Berg Group  could take  action to enforce
our payment  obligations.  Potential  actions by the Berg Group to enforce these
obligations could result in the foreclosure in one or more of our properties and
a reduction in the amount of cash distributions to our stockholders. In turn, if
we fail to meet the  minimum  distributions  test  because of a loan  default or
another  reason,  we could lose our REIT  classification  for federal income tax
purposes.  For more information please refer to Item 1A, "Risk Factors - Failure
to  satisfy  federal  income  tax   requirements  for  REITs  could  reduce  our
distributions, reduce our income and cause our stock price to fall."

OUR  OPTION TO  ACQUIRE  R&D  PROPERTIES  DEVELOPED  ON  EXISTING  LAND AND LAND
ACQUIRED IN THE FUTURE BY THE BERG GROUP WILL  TERMINATE  WHEN THE BERG  GROUP'S
OWNERSHIP INTEREST HAS BEEN REDUCED.

The Berg Land Holdings  Option  Agreement,  as amended,  which  provides us with
significant benefits and opportunities to acquire additional R&D properties from
the Berg Group, will expire when the Berg Group and their affiliates  (excluding
us and the  operating  partnerships)  own less than 65% of our common stock on a
Fully Diluted  basis.  Termination  of the Berg Land Holdings  Option  Agreement
could result in limitation  of our growth,  which could cause our stock price to
fall.

WE MAY CHANGE OUR  INVESTMENT  AND  FINANCING  POLICIES AND  INCREASE  YOUR RISK
WITHOUT STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL.

Our Board of Directors  determines the investment and financing  policies of the
operating   partnerships   and  our  policies  with  respect  to  certain  other
activities,  including our business growth, debt  capitalization,  distribution,
and operating  policies.  Our Board of Directors may amend these policies at any
time  without  a vote of the  stockholders.  Changes  in  these  policies  could
materially adversely affect our financial  condition,  results of operations and
ability to make cash  distributions  to our  stockholders,  which could harm our
business and cause our stock price to fall. For more information please refer to
Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations - Policies with Respect to Certain Activities."

ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS IN OUR CHARTER COULD PREVENT ACQUISITIONS OF OUR STOCK
AT A SUBSTANTIAL PREMIUM.

Provisions  of our  charter  and our  bylaws  could  delay,  defer or  prevent a
transaction or a change in control of our corporation, or a similar transaction,
that might  involve a premium  price for our shares of common stock or otherwise
be in the best interests of our stockholders. Provisions of the Maryland general
corporation  law,  which would apply to  potential  business  combinations  with
acquirers  other  than the Berg  Group or  stockholders  who  invested  in us in
December 1998, also could prevent the acquisition of our stock for a premium, as
discussed in "Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of our Charter and Bylaws."

AN INVESTMENT  IN OUR STOCK  INVOLVES  RISKS RELATED TO REAL ESTATE  INVESTMENTS
THAT COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS AND CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO FALL.

RENTAL INCOME VARIES
Real property  investments  are subject to varying  degrees of risk.  Investment
returns available from equity investments in real estate depend in large part on
the  amount of income  earned and  capital  appreciation,  which our  properties
generate,  as well as our related  expenses  incurred.  If our properties do not
generate  revenues  sufficient  to meet  operating  expenses,  debt  service and
capital  expenditures,  our income  and  ability  to make  distributions  to our
stockholders will be adversely affected.  Income from our properties may also be
adversely  affected by general economic  conditions,  local economic  conditions
such  as  oversupply  of  commercial  real  estate,  the  attractiveness  of our
properties to tenants and prospective tenants,  competition from other available
rental property, our ability to provide adequate maintenance and insurance,  the
cost of tenant improvements,  leasing commissions and tenant inducements and the
potential of increased operating costs, including real estate taxes.

                                       11
<PAGE>

EXPENDITURES FOR PROPERTY OWNERSHIP ARE FIXED
Income from  properties and real estate values also are affected by a variety of
other factors,  such as governmental  regulations and applicable laws, including
real estate,  zoning and tax laws,  interest rate levels and the availability of
financing.  Various  significant  expenditures  associated with an investment in
real  estate,  such as  mortgage  payments,  real estate  taxes and  maintenance
expenses,  generally  are not reduced  when  circumstances  cause a reduction in
revenue from the investment.  Thus, our operating  results and our cash flow may
decline materially if our rental income is reduced.

ILLIQUIDITY
Real estate  investments  are relatively  illiquid,  which limits our ability to
restructure   our  portfolio  in  response  to  changes  in  economic  or  other
conditions.

GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION
All of our properties  are located in the southern  portion of the San Francisco
Bay Area  commonly  referred to as the  "Silicon  Valley."  The  Silicon  Valley
economy  has  weakened  during the past few years  after a number of  successive
years of rapid growth that resulted in excess capacity for R&D properties in the
Silicon  Valley.  At  present,  future  increases  in  values  and rents for our
properties depend to a significant  extent on a strong recovery of this region's
economy.

LOSS OF KEY TENANTS
Single tenants, many of whom are large,  publicly traded information  technology
companies,  occupy most of our  properties.  We may lose tenants  when  existing
leases  expire  because it may be difficult to re-lease the same property due to
substantial  overcapacity  of R&D  properties in the Silicon  Valley at present.
Losing a key tenant could adversely affect our operating results and our ability
to make  distributions  to stockholders  if we are unable to obtain  replacement
tenants  promptly.  Moreover,  to retain  key  tenants  upon the  expiration  of
existing leases we may need to reduce rents,  which also could adversely  affect
our operating results and ability to make distributions.

TENANT BANKRUPTCIES
Key tenants could seek the protection of the bankruptcy laws, which could result
in the rejection and termination of their leases, thereby causing a reduction in
our rental income.  Under the bankruptcy  laws, these tenants may have the right
to reject  their  leases  with us and our claim for rent will be  limited to the
greater  of one year or 15% of the total  amount  owing  under the  leases  upon
default,  but not to  exceed  three  years of the  remaining  term of the  lease
following the earlier of the petition filing date or the date on which we gained
repossession of the property, as well as any rent that was unpaid on the earlier
of those dates.

OUR SUBSTANTIAL INDEBTEDNESS
Our properties are subject to substantial indebtedness. If we are unable to make
required mortgage  payments,  we could sustain a loss as a result of foreclosure
on our properties by the mortgagor.  Our mortgage loan from Prudential Insurance
Company of America which had a principal  balance owed of  approximately  $112.5
million as of December 31, 2007 matures in October  2008.  Although we expect to
be able to refinance this debt prior to maturity,  we currently have not secured
a  commitment  for  replacement  financing,  and  replacement  financing  is not
assured. Furthermore, our mortgage loans may be subject to covenants that we are
obligated to satisfy.  For  example,  under our mortgage  loan  agreements  with
Northwestern  Mutual Life  Insurance  Company,  the payment of all $100  million
outstanding  could be  accelerated  upon the sale or certain other  transfers of
more than 51% of the total  number of O.P.  Units and shares of common  stock of
the Company  held by the members of the Berg Group.  We have no reason to expect
such a sale or transfer in the foreseeable  future,  but the members of the Berg
Group have no obligation to us to refrain from any such sale or other  transfer.
We have adopted a policy of  maintaining a  consolidated  ratio of debt to total
market  capitalization,  which includes for this purpose the market value of all
shares of common stock for which  outstanding  O.P. Units are  exchangeable,  of
less than 50%. This ratio may not be exceeded  without the approval of more than
75% of our entire Board of Directors.  Our Board of Directors may vote to change
this policy, however, and we could become more highly leveraged, resulting in an
increased  risk of default on our  obligations  and an increase in debt  service
requirements that could adversely affect our financial condition,  our operating
results and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

ENVIRONMENTAL CLEAN-UP LIABILITIES
Our properties may expose us to liabilities  under applicable  environmental and
health and  safety  laws.  If these  liabilities  are  material,  our  financial
condition and ability to pay cash distributions may be affected adversely, which
would cause our stock price to fall.

UNINSURED LOSSES
We may sustain uninsured losses with respect to some of our properties. If these
losses are material,  our  financial  condition,  our operating  results and our
ability to make distributions to our stockholders may be affected adversely.

EARTHQUAKE DAMAGES ARE UNINSURED
All of our  properties  are  located  in areas that are  subject  to  earthquake
activity.  Our insurance policies do not cover damage caused by seismic activity
although  they do cover losses from fires after an  earthquake.  We generally do
not consider such insurance  coverage

                                       12
<PAGE>

to be economical.  If an earthquake occurs and results in substantial  damage to
our  properties,  we could lose our investment in those  properties,  which loss
could have a material adverse effect on our financial  condition,  our operating
results and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

OUR REAL ESTATE ASSETS MAY BE SUBJECT TO IMPAIRMENT CHARGES.

We  continually  evaluate the  recoverability  of the carrying value of our real
estate  assets for  impairment  indicators.  Factors  considered  in  evaluating
impairment of our existing real estate assets  include  significant  declines in
property  operating  profits,  recurring  property  operating  losses  and other
significant  adverse  changes in general market  conditions  that are considered
permanent in nature.  Generally,  a real estate asset is not considered impaired
if the undiscounted, estimated future cash flows of the asset over its estimated
holding  period are in excess of the asset's net book value at the balance sheet
date.  Assumptions used to estimate annual and residual cash flow, the estimated
holding  period of such assets,  the lease up period when  properties are vacant
and future  rental income  require the judgment of  management.  Actual  results
could be different than our estimates.

There can be no assurance that we will not take impairment charges in the future
related to the impairment of our assets. As of the years ended December 31, 2007
and 2006,  management believed it had applied reasonable estimates and judgments
in determining  the proper  classification  of its real estate assets.  However,
should external or internal  circumstances  change requiring the need to shorten
the holding periods or adjust the estimated  future cash flows of certain of our
assets, we could be required to record  additional  impairment  charges.  If any
real estate asset held for sale is  considered  impaired,  a loss is provided to
reduce the carrying  value of the asset to its fair value,  less selling  costs.
Any future  impairment  could have a material  adverse  affect on the  Company's
results  of  operations  and funds  from  operations  in the period in which the
charge is taken.

FAILURE TO SATISFY FEDERAL INCOME TAX REQUIREMENTS FOR REITS COULD REDUCE OUR
DISTRIBUTIONS, REDUCE OUR INCOME AND CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO FALL.

FAILURE TO QUALIFY AS A REIT
Although we currently  operate in a manner  designed to enable us to qualify and
maintain our REIT status,  it is possible that economic,  market,  legal, tax or
other  considerations may cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT or may cause our
Board of Directors  either to refrain from making the REIT election or to revoke
that election once made. To maintain REIT status, we must meet certain tests for
income, assets,  distributions to stockholders,  ownership interests,  and other
significant conditions.  If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we
will not be  allowed  a  deduction  for  distributions  to our  stockholders  in
computing  our  taxable  income  and would be subject  to  federal  income  tax,
including  any  applicable  alternative  minimum  tax, on our taxable  income at
regular  corporate  rates.  Moreover,  unless we were  entitled to relief  under
certain provisions of the tax laws, we would be disqualified from treatment as a
REIT for the four taxable years  following  the year in which our  qualification
was lost. As a result,  funds available for  distributions  to our  stockholders
would be reduced for each of the years  involved  and, in addition,  we would no
longer be required to make distributions to our stockholders.

REIT DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS
To maintain REIT status, we must distribute as a dividend to our stockholders at
least 90% of our otherwise net taxable income, after certain  adjustments,  with
respect to each tax year. We also may be subject to a 4%  non-deductible  excise
tax in the event our  distributions  to stockholders  fail to meet certain other
requirements.  Failure to comply  with these  requirements  could  result in our
income being subject to tax at regular  corporate rates and could cause us to be
liable for the excise tax.

OWNERSHIP LIMIT NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN REIT QUALIFICATION
As a REIT,  the federal tax laws  restrict the  percentage of the total value of
our stock  that may be owned by five or fewer  individuals  to 50% or less.  Our
charter generally  prohibits the direct or indirect ownership of more than 9% of
our common stock by any stockholder.  This limit excludes the Berg Group,  which
has an  aggregate  ownership  limit of 20%. In  addition,  as  permitted  by our
charter,  our Board of Directors has  authorized an exception  applicable to two
other   stockholders   that  permits  them  to  collectively  own,  directly  or
indirectly,  up to 18.5% of our common stock on an aggregate  basis,  subject to
the terms of an ownership limit  exemption  agreement.  In general,  our charter
prohibits the transfer of shares that result in a loss of our REIT qualification
and  provides  that  any such  transfer  or any  other  transfer  that  causes a
stockholder  to exceed  the  ownership  limit will  result in the  shares  being
automatically   transferred   to  a  trust  for  the  benefit  of  a  charitable
beneficiary.  Accordingly,  in the event  that  either the Berg Group or the two
stockholders  increase their stock ownership in our  corporation,  a stockholder
who acquires  shares of our common stock,  even though his, her or its aggregate
ownership  may be less than 9%, may be  required  to  transfer a portion of that
stockholder's shares to such a trust in order to preserve our status as a REIT.

STOCKHOLDERS ARE NOT ASSURED OF RECEIVING CASH DISTRIBUTIONS FROM US.

Our  income  consists  primarily  of our share of the  income  of the  operating
partnerships, and our cash flow consists primarily of our share of distributions
from the operating  partnerships.  Differences  in timing between the receipt of
income and the payment of  expenses  in  arriving  at our taxable  income or the
taxable income of the operating partnerships and the effect of required debt

                                       13
<PAGE>

amortization  payments could require us to borrow funds, directly or through the
operating partnerships,  on a short-term basis to meet our intended distribution
policy.

Our Board of Directors will determine the amount and timing of  distributions by
the operating  partnerships and of distributions to our stockholders.  Our Board
of  Directors  will  consider  many factors  prior to making any  distributions,
including the following:

-    the amount of cash available for distribution;
-    our financial condition;
-    whether to reinvest funds rather than to distribute such funds;
-    our committed and projected capital expenditures;
-    the  amount  of cash  required  for new  property  acquisitions,  including
     acquisitions under our existing agreements with the Berg Group;
-    the amount of our annual debt service requirements;
-    the  annual  distribution  requirements  under the REIT  provisions  of the
     federal income tax laws;
-    our projected rental rates and revenues;
-    prospects  of tenant  renewals  and  re-leases  of  properties  subject  to
     expiring leases;
-    cash required for re-leasing activities; and
-    such other factors as our Board of Directors deems relevant.

We  cannot  assure  you  that we will be  able  to  meet or  maintain  our  cash
distribution objectives.

OUR PROPERTIES COULD BE SUBJECT TO PROPERTY TAX REASSESSMENTS.

We do not believe that the  acquisition of any of our interests in the operating
partnerships  has resulted in a statutory  change in  ownership  that could give
rise to a reassessment  of any of our  properties  for  California  property tax
purposes.  We cannot  assure you,  however,  that county  assessors or other tax
administrative  agencies  in  California  will not attempt to assert that such a
change occurred as a result of these transactions. Although we believe that such
a challenge would not be successful  ultimately,  we cannot assure you regarding
the outcome of any related dispute or proceeding. A reassessment could result in
increased real estate taxes on our properties  that, as a practical  matter,  we
may be unable to pass through to our tenants in full.  This could reduce our net
income and our funds  available for  distributions  and cause our stock price to
fall.

OUR   OBLIGATION  TO  PURCHASE   TENDERED  O.P.  UNITS  COULD  REDUCE  OUR  CASH
DISTRIBUTIONS.

Each of the limited partners of the operating  partnerships,  other than Carl E.
Berg and Clyde J. Berg, has the annual right to cause the operating partnerships
to purchase the limited  partner's  O.P.  Units at a purchase price based on the
average  market  value  of the  common  stock  for  the  ten-trading-day  period
immediately  preceding the date of tender.  Upon a limited partner's exercise of
any such right, we will have the option to purchase the tendered O.P. Units with
available  cash,  borrowed  funds or the proceeds of an offering of newly issued
shares of common  stock.  These put rights  became  exercisable  on December 29,
1999,  and are available  once during a 12-month  period.  If the total purchase
price of the O.P. Units tendered by all of the eligible  limited partners in one
year exceeds $1 million, the operating  partnerships or we will be entitled, but
not required, to reduce  proportionately the number of O.P. Units to be acquired
from each  tendering  limited  partner so that the total purchase price does not
exceed $1 million.  Thus, we might  repurchase  O.P.  Units for a total purchase
price of more than $1 million in one year.  The exercise of these put rights may
reduce  the  amount  of  cash  that  we  have  available  to  distribute  to our
stockholders and could cause our stock price to fall.

In addition, all O.P. Unit holders may tender their O.P. Units to us in exchange
for shares of common stock on a one-for-one  basis at then-current  market value
or an equivalent  amount in cash,  at our election.  If we elect to pay cash for
the O.P. Units, our liquidity may be reduced and we may lack sufficient funds to
continue paying the amount of our anticipated or historical cash  distributions.
This could cause our stock price to fall.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE COULD AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR STOCK.

We cannot  predict the  effect,  if any,  that future  sales of shares of common
stock, or the  availability of shares for future sale,  could have on the market
price of our common stock.  As of December 31, 2007, all  outstanding  shares of
our common stock, other than shares controlled by affiliates,  were eligible for
sale  in the  public  market  without  resale  restrictions  under  the  federal
securities laws. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock,  including shares
issued in  connection  with the  exercise  of the  exchange  rights  held by the
limited  partners of the operating  partnerships,  or the  perception  that such
sales could occur,  could  adversely  affect  prevailing  market  prices for the
common  stock.  Additional  shares  of common  stock  may be  issued to  limited
partners,  subject to the applicable REIT qualification ownership limit, if they
exchange  their O.P. Units for shares of common stock pursuant to their exchange
rights, or may be sold by us to raise funds required to purchase such O.P. Units
if eligible  limited  partners  elect to tender O.P. Units to us using their put
rights. Shares of stock controlled by our affiliates may be sold subject to Rule
144, including the limitation under Rule 144(e)

                                       14
<PAGE>

on the  number  of  shares  that may be sold  within a  three-month  period.  In
addition, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 declared effective by
the SEC in April 2006,  all shares of common  stock  acquired  upon  exchange of
currently  outstanding  O.P. Units may be resold without any such  restrictions.
Additional common stock reserved under our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, including
stock options, also may be sold in the market at some time in the future. Future
sales of our common stock in the market could adversely  affect the price of our
common stock.

MARKET INTEREST RATES MAY REDUCE THE VALUE OF THE COMMON STOCK.

One of the factors that investors  consider important in deciding whether to buy
or  sell  shares  of a REIT  is the  distribution  rate  on  such  shares,  as a
percentage of the price of such shares,  relative to market  interest  rates. If
market interest rates go up, prospective  purchasers of REIT shares may expect a
higher distribution rate. Higher interest rates would not, however, increase the
funds  available for us to distribute,  and, in fact,  would likely increase our
borrowing costs and decrease funds  available for  distributions.  Thus,  higher
market interest rates could cause the price of our common stock to fall.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

GEOGRAPHIC AND TENANT FOCUS

We focus  principally on the facility  requirements  of  information  technology
companies in the Silicon  Valley,  which  include space for office,  R&D,  light
manufacturing  and  assembly.  With the Silicon  Valley's  highly  educated  and
skilled work force,  history of numerous successful start-up companies and large
contingent of venture capital firms, we believe that this region will, following
the current significant slowdown in the market, continue to spawn successful new
high-growth  industries  and  entrepreneurial  businesses  to an extent  matched
nowhere  else in the  United  States.  We  believe  that our focus and  thorough
understanding of the Silicon Valley real estate market enables us to:

-    anticipate trends in the market;
-    identify  and  concentrate  our  efforts  on  the  most  favorably  located
     sub-markets;
-    take advantage of our experience and extensive  contacts and  relationships
     with local government agencies, real estate brokers and subcontractors,  as
     well as with tenants and prospective tenants; and
-    identify strong tenants.

All of our properties are general-purpose  R&D/office type properties located in
desirable  sub-markets of the Silicon  Valley.  Many of our properties have been
developed  for or leased to single  tenants,  many of whom are  large,  publicly
traded information technology companies. Most of our major tenants have occupied
our properties for many years under triple-net leases that require the tenant to
pay substantially all operating costs, including property insurance, real estate
taxes and general operating costs.

LEASING

The current leases for the properties have terms ranging from  month-to-month to
15 years.  Most of the  leases  provide  for fixed  periodic  rental  increases.
Substantially  all of the leases are  triple-net  leases  pursuant  to which the
tenant is required to pay  substantially  all of the  operating  expenses of the
property,  property taxes and insurance,  including all maintenance and repairs,
and excluding only certain structural repairs to the building shell. Most of the
leases contain  renewal  options that allow the tenant to extend the lease based
on  adjustments  to then  prevailing  market  rates,  or based  on fixed  rental
adjustments, which may be at or below market rates.

PROPERTY PORTFOLIO

All  of  our  properties  are  R&D/office  type  properties.   Generally,  these
properties  are one- to two-story  buildings of tilt-up  concrete  construction,
have on average 3.5 or more parking  spaces per thousand  rentable  square feet,
clear ceiling heights of less than 18 feet, and range in size from approximately
4,500 to 211,000  rentable  square  feet.  Most of the office  space is open and
suitable for  configuration  to meet the tenants'  requirements  with the use of
movable dividers.

The following table sets forth certain information relating to our properties as
of December 31, 2007:

     straight-line  method  of  accounting  required  by  accounting  principles
     generally  accepted in the United  States of America  ("GAAP")  under which
     contractual  rent payment  increases are  recognized  evenly over the lease
     term.
(2)  Joint venture properties.
(3)  Property  represents  a  commitment  by the  Berg  Group  to  construct  an
     approximate  75,000 to 90,000 square foot building on land acquired  during
     2001.

     purpose of presenting the annual cash rent received in 2007.
(5)  This  property  comprises of 55 acres of vacant land,  which could  support
     approximately  800,000  rentable  square feet of space.  The vacant land is
     currently  zoned for  industrial  use and a portion has the potential to be
     rezoned for residential use.

We own 100% of all of the  properties  listed in the table,  except:  one of the
buildings in the Triangle  Technology Park, which is owned by a joint venture in
which we, through an operating partnership,  own a 75% interest; the property at
10401-10411 Bubb Road, which is owned by a joint venture in which we, through an
operating  partnership,  own an 83.33% interest; and the properties at 5300-5350

(1)  The base rent for  expiring  leases is based on 2008  scheduled  cash rent,
     which is different than annual rent determined in accordance with GAAP.
(2)  Based upon 2008 cash rent as discussed in Note (1).

If we are unable to lease a significant  portion of the available space or space
scheduled to expire in 2008 and thereafter at any of our properties; if existing
tenants do not renew their leases;  or if rental rates decrease,  our results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows would be affected adversely.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

To date,  compliance with laws and regulations relating to the protection of the
environment,  including  those  regarding  the  discharge of materials  into the
environment  has not had any  material  effects  upon our capital  expenditures,
earnings or competitive position.

Under various  federal,  state and local laws,  ordinances and  regulations,  an
owner or operator of real  property  may be held liable for the costs of removal
or remediation  of certain  hazardous or toxic  substances  located on or in the
property.  Such laws often impose liability on the owner and expose the owner to
governmental  proceedings  without  regard to whether  the owner knew of, or was
responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or toxic substances.  The cost of
any required  remediation or removal of such substances may be  substantial.  In
addition,  the owner's  liability as to any specific  property is generally  not
limited and could exceed the value of the property  and/or the aggregate  assets
of the owner. The presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remove
or remediate

                                       19
<PAGE>

such  substances,  may also adversely affect the owner's ability to sell or rent
the property or to borrow using the property as collateral.  Persons who arrange
for  treatment  or the disposal of  hazardous  or toxic  substances  may also be
liable for the costs of any required  remediation or removal of the hazardous or
toxic substances at a disposal  facility,  regardless of whether the facility is
owned or operated by such owner or entity.  In connection  with the ownership of
the properties or the treatment or disposal of hazardous or toxic substances, we
may be liable for such costs.

Some  of  our  properties  are  leased,   in  part,  to  businesses,   including
manufacturers  that use, store or otherwise handle hazardous or toxic substances
in their  business  operations.  These  operations  create a  potential  for the
release of hazardous or toxic substances. In addition,  groundwater contaminated
by chemicals used in various manufacturing  processes,  including  semiconductor
fabrication, underlies a significant portion of northeastern Santa Clara County,
where many of our properties are located.

Environmental  laws  also  govern  the  presence,  maintenance  and  removal  of
asbestos.  These laws require  that owners or operators of buildings  containing
asbestos properly manage and maintain the asbestos,  that they adequately inform
or train those who may come into contact with  asbestos and that they  undertake
special  precautions,  including  removal or other  abatement  in the event that
asbestos is disturbed during renovation or demolition of a building.  These laws
may impose fines and  penalties on building  owners or operators  for failure to
comply with these requirements and may allow third parties to seek recovery from
owners or operators  for personal  injury  associated  with exposure to asbestos
fibers.  We are aware that  there are  asbestos-containing  materials,  or ACMs,
present at several of the properties,  primarily in floor coverings.  We believe
that the ACMs present at these  properties  are generally in good  condition and
that no ACMs are  present  at the  remaining  properties.  We  believe we are in
compliance in all material  respects with all present  federal,  state and local
laws  relating to ACMs and that if we were given limited time to remove all ACMs
present at the  properties,  the cost of such removal  would not have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition,  results of operations and ability to
make cash distributions to our stockholders.

Phase I assessments are intended to discover and evaluate information  regarding
the environmental condition of the surveyed property and surrounding properties.
Phase I assessments  generally  include a historical  review,  a public  records
review, an investigation of the surveyed site and surrounding properties and the
preparation and issuance of a written  report,  but do not include soil sampling
or subsurface  investigations  and typically do not include an asbestos  survey.
Environmental assessments have been conducted for about half of the properties.

The environmental investigations that have been conducted on our properties have
not revealed any  environmental  liability that we believe would have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and assets, and
we are not aware of any such liability.  Nonetheless,  it is possible that there
are material environmental liabilities of which we are unaware. We cannot assure
you that future laws,  ordinances,  or regulations  will not impose any material
environmental  liability,  or that the current  environmental  condition  of the
properties  has not been,  or will not be,  affected by tenants and occupants of
the  properties,  by  the  condition  of  properties  in  the  vicinity  of  the
properties, or by third parties unrelated to us.

ITEM 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Neither the operating  partnerships,  the  properties  nor we are subject to any
material litigation nor, to our knowledge, is any material litigation threatened
against the operating partnerships,  the properties or us. From time to time, we
are engaged in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business.
We do not expect any of such  proceedings  to have a material  adverse effect on
our cash flows,  financial condition or results of operations.  We are currently
involved in the  following  legal  proceedings  and we believe that the ultimate
outcome  of these  proceedings  will not have a material  adverse  effect on our
operating results, cash flows or financial condition.

MISSION WEST PROPERTIES,  L.P. V. REPUBLIC PROPERTIES CORPORATION,  ET AL. SANTA
CLARA COUNTY SUPERIOR  COURT,  CASE NO. CV 796249.  In February 2001,  while the
Maryland case was pending,  we filed a suit against RPC in the Superior Court of
the State of California for the County of Santa Clara,  Case No. CV 796249.  The
case was stayed  pending  resolution of the Maryland  case, and we dismissed our
suit on March 4, 2005. In April 2005, RPC submitted a motion asking the Superior
Court to reinstate the case, which the Court granted on May 25, 2005. On July 5,
2006, RPC filed a cross-complaint in the case seeking partnership  distributions
to which we demurred.  The Court  sustained  our  demurrer  with leave to amend.
Subsequently,  RPC filed an amended complaint, and we submitted another demurrer
seeking dismissal of the claims on statute of limitations  grounds.  On February
20, 2007, the Court overruled our demurrer. We sought a writ from the California
State  Court of Appeal  for the Sixth  District  to  direct  the lower  court to
reverse its decision,  but the petition for the writ was denied.  A trial in the
California Superior Court will commence in early 2008.

If the litigation is ultimately decided in favor of the Company, the Independent
Directors  Committee  of the  Board  of  Directors  has the  right,  but not the
obligation,  to acquire on behalf of the  Company  the former RPC  interest  and
related  distributions from BBE under the terms of the Berg Land Holdings Option
Agreement and the Acquisition  Agreement between the Company and the Berg Group,
as more fully explained under Item 8,  "Financial  Statements and  Supplementary
Data - Note 13."

ITEM 4.   SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of stockholders during the fourth quarter of
the year ended December 31, 2007.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S  COMMON EQUITY,  RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND
        ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE COMPARISON

The following graph compares the change in the Company's cumulative  stockholder
return on its  shares  of common  stock to the  cumulative  total  return of the
NAREIT Equity REIT Total Return Index ("NAREIT Equity Index") and the Standard &
Poor's 500 Stock Index ("S&P 500 Index") from  December 31, 2002 to December 31,
2007. The line graph starts  December 31, 2002. The graph assumes that the value
of the  investment in the  Company's  common stock was $100 at December 31, 2002
and that all dividends were reinvested. The common stock's price on December 31,
2002 was $9.90.  The Company  obtained the  information  about the NAREIT Equity
Index and S&P 500 Index from each entity respectively,  and has assumed that the
information is reliable, but cannot assume its accuracy.


                                [OBJECT OMITTED]

        The stock price performance shown in the graph is not necessarily
         indicative of future performance of the Company's common stock.

Our common stock is listed on the American  Stock  Exchange  ("AMEX") and trades
under the symbol  "MSW." The closing  price of our common  stock on December 31,
2007,  the last trading day of the year,  was $9.51 per share.  The high and low
closing  price per share of common stock as reported on AMEX during each quarter

The declaration and payment of dividends and  distributions  will continue to be
determined  by the Board of  Directors  in light of  conditions  then  existing,
including the Company's earnings,  financial  condition,  capital  requirements,
debt service requirements and other factors.

For federal income tax purposes, we have characterized the dividends declared in
2007  as  follows:   97%  taxable  ordinary  income,  2%  capital  gain  and  1%
unrecaptured section 1250 gain (unaudited). For 2006, we have characterized 100%
of the dividends declared as taxable ordinary income (unaudited).

</TABLE>

(1)  Certain  reclassifications  have been made to prior period amounts in order
     to conform to current period presentation.
(2)  Upon the  implementation  of SFAS 144,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment or
     Disposal of Long-Lived  Assets," on January 1, 2002, the operating  results
     of real  estate  held  for  sale and  sold  are  reported  as  discontinued
     operations for all years presented.  Additionally,  all gains and losses on
     the sale of assets  classified  as held for sale  subsequent  to January 1,
     2002 are included in discontinued operations.
(3)  As of December  31,  2007,  2006,  2005,  2004 and 2003,  total  properties
     include a property at 245 Caspian in Sunnyvale  with no building.  In 2001,
     we paid the Berg Group  approximately  $7.5 million for their commitment to
     complete  an  approximate  75,000 to 90,000  square  foot  building  on the
     property.
(4)  Average  monthly  rental  revenue  per square foot has been  determined  by
     taking  the total  cash base rent for the  period  divided by the number of
     months in the period,  and then divided by the average occupied square feet
     in the period.
(5)  Funds from Operations ("FFO") is a non-GAAP financial term used by REITs to
     measure  and  compare  operating  performance.  As defined by the  National
     Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), FFO represents net
     income  (loss)  before  minority  interest  of unit  holders  (computed  in
     accordance   with  GAAP),   including   non-recurring   events  other  than
     "extraordinary  items" under GAAP and excluding gains and losses from sales
     of discontinued  operations or depreciable operating properties,  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.  FFO
     does include  impairment  losses for properties  held for sale and held for
     use.  Additionally,  our 2007,  2006,  2005,  2004 and 2003 FFO calculation
     includes our portion of the  depreciation  and  amortization of real estate
     from our unconsolidated  joint venture, but excludes the above-market lease
     intangible asset, which was recorded as a reduction of revenues. Management
     considers FFO to be an  appropriate  supplemental  measure of our 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
     our  financial  performance  when  compared to other  REITs  because FFO is
     generally  recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations
     of REITs.  FFO should neither be considered as an  alternative  for neither
     net income as a measure of profitability nor 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.

Our definition of FFO also assumes  conversion at the beginning of the period of
all convertible securities,  including O.P. Units represented by O.P. Units that
may be exchanged  for shares of common  stock.  Our FFO does not  represent  the
amount available for management's discretionary use; as such funds may be needed
for  capital  replacement  or  expansion,  debt  service  obligations  or  other
commitments and uncertainties.  Furthermore,  FFO is not comparable to similarly
entitled items reported by other REITs that do not define FFO exactly as we do.

A reconciliation of net income to common stockholders to FFO for the years ended
December 31, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004 and 2003 follows:

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION INCLUDES FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS,  INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED  TO  STATEMENTS  WITH  RESPECT  TO  THE  FUTURE  FINANCIAL  PERFORMANCE,
OPERATING RESULTS, PLANS AND OBJECTIVES OF MISSION WEST PROPERTIES,  INC. ACTUAL
RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CURRENTLY  ANTICIPATED DEPENDING UPON A
VARIETY OF FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE DESCRIBED IN PART I - ITEM 1A, RISK FACTORS.

OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND

Our original  predecessor was formed in 1969 as Palomar  Mortgage  Investors,  a
California  business  trust,  which operated as a mortgage REIT until 1979 when,
under the name of Mission  Investment  Trust, it terminated its status as a REIT
and began to develop  and  market  its own  properties.  In 1982,  Mission  West
Properties was incorporated as a successor to Mission Investment Trust. In 1997,
our predecessor, Mission West Properties, sold all of its real estate assets and
paid a  special  dividend  of $9.00 per share to  stockholders,  after  which it
retained only nominal assets.  Subsequently,  the Berg Group acquired control of
the corporation as a vehicle to acquire R&D properties, or interests in entities
owning such properties in a transaction  completed on September 2, 1997. At that
time the Berg Group and other investors  acquired an aggregate 79.6% controlling
ownership  position.  In May 1998,  we, the Berg Group  members,  an independent
limited partner, and certain other persons entered into an acquisition agreement
providing,  among other  things,  for our  acquisition  of interests as the sole
general  partner  in the  operating  partnerships.  At the time,  the  operating
partnerships  held  approximately  4.34  million  rentable  square  feet  of R&D
property located in Silicon Valley.  The agreement also provided for the parties
to enter into the Pending Projects Acquisition Agreement, the Berg Land Holdings
Option  Agreement  and the  Exchange  Rights  Agreement,  following  stockholder
approval.  Effective July 1, 1998, we consummated our acquisition of the general
partnership interests in the operating  partnerships through the purchase of the
general  partnership  interests,  and all limited  partnership  interests in the
operating   partnerships  were  converted  into  59,479,633  O.P.  Units,  which
represented ownership of approximately 87.89% of the operating partnerships. Our
general  partnership  interests  represented the balance of the ownership of the
operating  partnerships.  At  December  31,  2007,  we owned an  18.73%  general
partnership  interest  in the  operating  partnerships,  taken as a whole,  on a
weighted average basis.

Since the  beginning  of calendar  year 1999,  we have been taxed as a qualified
REIT.

Our  reincorporation  under the laws of the State of Maryland through the merger
of Mission  West  Properties  into  Mission West  Properties,  Inc.  occurred on
December  30,  1998,  at  which  time  all  outstanding  shares  issued  by  our
predecessor  California  corporation  were  converted  into shares of our common
stock on a one-for-one basis.

In July 1999, we completed a public  offering of 8,680,000  shares of our common
stock at $8.25 per share. The net proceeds of approximately $66.9 million, after
deducting  underwriting  discounts and other offering costs, were used primarily
to repay indebtedness.

We have grown  through  property  acquisitions.  Since  September  1998, we have
acquired a total of  approximately  6.95  million  rentable  square  feet of R&D
buildings and vacant land under the Pending Project Acquisition  Agreement,  the
Berg Land Holdings Option Agreement, and from unrelated third parties. The total
cost of these  properties was  approximately  $703.6  million.  To acquire these
properties,  we paid in cash or by exchange  for existing  properties,  issued a
total of 28,510,261  O.P. Units and assumed debt totaling  approximately  $312.3
million.

Since 1998, we have sold a total of  approximately  1.0 million  rentable square
feet  of  R&D  buildings.   The  total  sales  price  of  these  properties  was
approximately $144.2 million.

Almost all of our earnings and cash flow is derived from rental revenue received
pursuant  to leased R&D space at our  properties.  Key  factors  that affect our
business and financial results include the following:

-    economic conditions generally and the real estate market specifically;
-    the occupancy rates of the properties;
-    rental rates on new and renewed leases;
-    tenant improvement and leasing costs incurred to obtain and retain tenants;
-    operating expenses;
-    cost and availability of capital;
-    the extent of acquisitions and sales of real estate;
-    legislative or regulatory  provisions  (including changes to laws governing
     the taxation of REITs);
-    competition;
-    supply of and  demand  for R&D,  office and  industrial  properties  in our
     current and proposed market areas;
-    tenant defaults and bankruptcies;

                                       26
<PAGE>

-    lease term expirations and renewals; and
-    changes  in  general   accounting   principles,   policies  and  guidelines
     applicable to REITs.

Negative  effects from any of these factors could cause a  deterioration  in our
operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

We prepare our consolidated  financial  statements in conformity with accounting
principles  generally  accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"),  which
requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the
reported  amounts  in  the  accompanying   consolidated   financial  statements,
disclosure  of  contingent   assets  and  liabilities  and  related   footnotes.
Accounting and disclosure  decisions with respect to material  transactions that
are subject to significant  management judgments or estimates include impairment
of long lived assets,  deferred  rent  receivables,  and  allocation of purchase
price  relating  to property  acquisitions  and the  related  depreciable  lives
assigned.  Actual  results  may differ  from  these  estimates  under  different
assumptions or conditions.

Critical  accounting  policies are defined as those that require  management  to
make  estimates,   judgments  and  assumptions,   giving  due  consideration  to
materiality,  in certain  circumstances  that  affect  amounts  reported  in the
consolidated   financial  statements,   and  potentially  result  in  materially
different  results under different  conditions and assumptions.  We believe that
the following best describe our critical accounting policies:

REAL ESTATE ASSETS
Real  estate  assets  are  stated  at  cost.  Cost  includes   expenditures  for
improvements or replacements.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
incurred.  Gains and losses from sales are included in income in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") 66, "Accounting for Sales of
Real  Estate." The gain on the sale is only  recognized  proportionately  as the
seller receives payments from the purchaser. Interest income is recognized on an
accrual basis, when appropriate.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 141, "Business  Combinations" ("SFAS
141"),  was  effective  July 1, 2001.  The  acquisition  costs of each  property
acquired prior to July 1, 2001 were allocated only to building, land and leasing
commission  with  building  depreciation  being  computed  based on an estimated
weighted  average  composite  useful  life of 40 years  and  leasing  commission
amortization  being  computed  over  the  term  of the  lease.  Acquisitions  of
properties  made  subsequent to the  effective  date of SFAS 141 are based on an
allocation of the acquisition cost to land, building,  tenant improvements,  and
intangibles   for  at  market  and  above  market  in  place  leases,   and  the
determination  of their  useful lives are guided by a  combination  SFAS 141 and
management's  estimates.  Amortization  expense of above and below  market lease
intangible  asset is offset against rental revenue in the revenue  section while
amortization   of  in-place  lease  value   intangible   asset  is  included  in
depreciation  and  amortization  of real  estate in the  expense  section of our
consolidated statements of operations. If we do not appropriately allocate these
components or we incorrectly estimate the useful lives of these components,  our
computation  of  depreciation  and  amortization  expense may not  appropriately
reflect the actual impact of these costs over future periods,  which will affect
net income.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
We review  real  estate  assets  for  impairment  whenever  events or changes in
circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  of an  asset  may  not  be
recoverable in accordance with Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards 144,
"Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived  Assets" ("SFAS 144").
If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated  undiscounted net cash
flow,  before  interest,  we will  recognize  an  impairment  loss  equal to the
difference  between  its  carrying  amount  and its  estimated  fair  value.  If
impairment  is  recognized,  the  reduced  carrying  amount of the asset will be
accounted  for as its new cost.  For a depreciable  asset,  the new cost will be
depreciated over the asset's remaining useful life.  Generally,  fair values are
estimated using  discounted  cash flow,  replacement  cost or market  comparison
analyses.  The process of evaluating  for  impairment  requires  estimates as to
future events and conditions,  which are subject to varying market factors, such
as the vacancy rates, future rental rates and operating costs for R&D facilities
in the Silicon Valley area and related submarkets.  The analysis that we prepare
in connection with  determining if there may be any asset  impairment loss under
SFAS 144 considers several  assumptions:  holding period of ten years, 36 months
lease up period and cap rate ranging from 8% to 9%. Therefore,  it is reasonably
possible that a change in estimate  resulting from judgments as to future events
could occur which would affect the recorded amounts of the property.

ALLOWANCE FOR DEFERRED RENT AND DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
The preparation of the  consolidated  financial  statements  requires us to make
estimates   and   assumptions.   As  such,   we  must  make   estimates  of  the
uncollectability  of our  accounts  receivable  based on the  evaluation  of our
tenants'  financial  position,  analyses  of  accounts  receivable  and  current
economic trends. We also make estimates for a straight-line  adjustment  reserve
for existing  tenants with the  potential of early  termination,  bankruptcy  or
ceasing  operations.  Our estimates are based on our review of tenants'  payment
histories,  the  remaining  lease term,  whether or not the tenant is  currently
occupying  our  building,  publicly  available  financial  information  and such
additional information about their financial condition as tenants provide to us.
The information  available to us might lead us to overstate or understate  these
reserve  amounts.  The use of different  estimates or assumptions  could produce
different

                                       27
<PAGE>

results.   Moreover,   actual  future  collections  of  accounts  receivable  or
reductions in future reported rental income due to tenant  bankruptcies or other
business failures could differ materially from our estimates.

CONSOLIDATION OF JOINT VENTURES
We, through an operating  partnership,  own three  properties  that are in joint
ventures of which we have controlling interests. We manage and operate all three
properties.  The recognition of these properties and their operating results are
100%  reflected  on our  consolidated  financial  statements,  with  appropriate
allocation  to minority  interest,  because we have  operational  and  financial
control  of the  investments.  We  make  judgments  and  assumptions  about  the
estimated monthly payments made to our minority interest joint venture partners,
which are reported with our periodic  results of operations.  Actual results may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE
We,  through  an  operating  partnership,  have  a 50%  non-controlling  limited
partnership interest in one unconsolidated joint venture. This investment is not
consolidated because we do not exercise significant control over major operating
and  financial  decisions.  We account  for the joint  venture  using the equity
method of accounting.

CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
We consolidate all variable  interest entities ("VIE") in which we are deemed to
be the primary  beneficiary in accordance with FASB  Interpretation  46 (Revised
December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46R"). As of
December 31, 2007,  we  consolidated  one VIE in the  accompanying  consolidated
financial  statements in connection with an assignment of a lease agreement with
an unrelated party,  M&M Real Estate Control &  Restructuring,  LLC (see Item 8,
"Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 7" for further discussion of
this transaction).

REVENUE RECOGNITION
Rental revenue is recognized on the straight-line  method of accounting required
by GAAP under which  contractual  rent payment  increases are recognized  evenly
over the lease term,  regardless  of when the rent  payments are received by us.
The  difference  between  recognized  rental  income and rental cash receipts is
recorded as "Deferred rent receivable" on the consolidated balance sheets.

Rental revenue is affected if existing tenants  terminate or amend their leases.
We try to  identify  tenants  who may be likely  to  declare  bankruptcy,  cease
operations or are likely to seek a negotiated settlement of their obligation. By
anticipating these events in advance,  we expect to take steps to minimize their
impact on our  reported  results of  operations  through  lease  renegotiations,
reserves against deferred rent receivable,  and other appropriate measures.  Our
judgments  and  estimations  about  tenants'  capacity to continue to meet their
lease   obligations  will  affect  the  rental  revenue   recognized.   Material
differences  may result in the amount and timing of our rental  revenue  for any
period if we made different judgments or estimations.

Lease  termination  fees are  recognized  as other income when there is a signed
termination  letter agreement,  all of the conditions of the agreement have been
met, and when the tenant no longer has the right to occupy the  property.  These
fees are paid by tenants who want to terminate  their lease  obligations  before
the end of the  contractual  term of the lease by  agreement  with us. We cannot
predict or forecast the timing or amounts of future lease termination fees.

We recognize income from rent, tenant  reimbursements and lease termination fees
and other income once all of the following  criteria are met in accordance  with
SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 104:

-    the agreement has been fully executed and delivered;
-    services have been rendered;
-    the amount is fixed and determinable; and
-    collectability is reasonably assured.

With regard to critical accounting policies, where applicable, we have explained
and discussed the criteria for  identification  and  selection,  methodology  in
application  and impact on the financial  statements with the Audit Committee of
our Board of Directors, which has reviewed these policies.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON  OF THE YEAR ENDED  DECEMBER 31, 2007 TO THE YEAR ENDED  DECEMBER 31,
2006

RENTAL REVENUE FROM CONTINUING PROPERTY OPERATIONS
As of December  31,  2007 and 2006,  through our  controlling  interests  in the
operating   partnerships,   we  owned  109  and  107  R&D  properties   totaling
approximately  7.9 and 7.7 million rentable square feet,  respectively.  We sold
two R&D  properties and acquired four R&D properties and 55 acres of vacant land
during 2007.

The  following  table  depicts the  amounts of rental  revenue  from  continuing
operations  for the years ended  December 31, 2007 and 2006  represented  by our
historical properties and the percentage of the total decrease in rental revenue
over the period that is represented by each group of properties.

</TABLE>

(1)  "Same Property" is defined as properties  owned by us prior to 2006 that we
     still owned as of December 31, 2007.
(2)  Operating  rental  revenue for 2006  Acquisitions  do not reflect a full 12
     months of  operations  in 2006 because  these  properties  were acquired at
     various times during the year.
(3)  Operating  rental  revenue for 2007  Acquisitions  do not reflect a full 12
     months of  operations  in 2007 because  these  properties  were acquired at
     various times during the year.

For the year ended  December  31,  2007,  our rental  revenue  from real  estate
decreased by ($11.1) million, or (12.2%). Pursuant to SFAS 141, $4.1 million and
$1.9 million of amortization expense with respect to above-market leases that we
obtained through property  acquisitions was offset against revenue for the years
ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The ($11.1) million decrease in
rental  revenue  resulted  from  current  adverse  market  conditions  as  "Same
Property"  rents  decreased,  due to lease  terminations,  cessation  of  tenant
operations and tenant relocations since December 31, 2006.

Our overall  occupancy rate for leased  properties at December 31, 2007 and 2006
was approximately 61.7% and 69.5%, respectively. According to the BT Report, the
leased  occupancy  rate for R&D  property in the Silicon  Valley at December 31,
2007 was  approximately  83.4%.  Due to an over  supply  of R&D  properties  and
competitive bidding for tenants by other landlords in the Silicon Valley bidding
for tenants, our occupancy rate may drop further in 2008 if the 328,000 rentable
square  feet  scheduled  to expire is not  renewed or  re-leased.  Factors  that
contributed to our low occupancy rate were primarily the general downturn in the
Silicon  Valley's  economy in recent  years,  the  softening of the R&D property
market  specifically,  as well as the  weaker  relative  performance  of certain
properties due to their location and the weak demand in those submarkets.

EQUITY IN EARNINGS FROM UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE
As of December 31, 2007, we had  investments  in three R&D  buildings,  totaling
466,600   rentable   square  feet  in  Morgan  Hill,   California,   through  an
unconsolidated  joint venture with TBI, in which we acquired a 50% interest from
the Berg Group in January 2003. We have a  non-controlling  limited  partnership
interest in this joint venture,  which we account for using the equity method of
accounting.  For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006,  equity in earnings
from the  unconsolidated  joint venture was approximately  $1.4 million and $2.0
million,  respectively.  Our equity in earnings from this  unconsolidated  joint
venture  decreased  primarily  due to a gain on sale of one R&D property in 2006
that did not recur in 2007. The occupancy rate for the properties  owned by this
joint venture at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was 100%.

OTHER INCOME FROM CONTINUING PROPERTY OPERATIONS
The  following  table  depicts  the  amounts of other  income,  including  lease
terminations, settlements and interest, from continuing operations for the years

Other  income,  including  lease  terminations,  settlements  and  interest,  of
approximately  $65.1  million  for the year ended  December  31,  2007  included
approximately  $57.5  million  from lease  termination  fees,  $3.1 million from
interest income,  $1.8 million from security deposit  forfeitures,  $1.0 million
from management fees, $0.3 million from tenant  bankruptcy  settlements and $1.4
million  from  miscellaneous  income.  In 2007,  of the $57.5  million  in lease
termination fees, approximately $46 million was from the Ciena Corporation lease
termination.  Other  income,  including  lease  terminations,   settlements  and
interest,  of  approximately  $20.6 million for

                                       29

the year ended December 31, 2006 included approximately $16.1 million from lease
termination  fees,  $2.3  million  from  interest  income,   $1.1  million  from
management  fees,  $0.5 million  from a property tax accrual,  $0.2 million from
tenant bankruptcy  settlements,  $0.1 million from security deposit  forfeitures
and $0.3 million from  miscellaneous  income.  In 2006,  of the $16.1 million in
lease  termination fees,  approximately  $11.1 million was from the JDS Uniphase
lease  termination.  Management fees are paid by the tenants to the landlord for
the  administration  and  supervision  of  the  property.  We  do  not  consider
termination fees and tenant bankruptcy settlements to be recurring items.

(1)  "Same Property" is defined as properties  owned by us prior to 2006 that we
     still owned as of December 31, 2007.

Operating  expenses from  continuing  operations  increased by $1.9 million,  or
10.1%,  from $18.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $20.4 million
for the year ended  December 31, 2007  primarily  due to increase in real estate
taxes,  higher  maintenance  and repair  costs and lease  commission  write-offs
associated  with  lease  terminations.  Tenant  reimbursements  from  continuing
operations  increased by $0.3 million,  or 2.3%, from $13.1 million for the year
ended  December 31, 2006 to $13.4 million for the year ended  December 31, 2007.
The increase in tenant  reimbursements  resulted  primarily from the increase in
operating  expenses.  Total operating  expenses  exceeded tenant  reimbursements
because of vacancies,  which reached  approximately  3.0 million rentable square
feet by year-end 2007.  Certain operating  expenses such as property  insurance,
real estate  taxes,  and other fixed  expenses are not  recoverable  from vacant
properties. At December 31, 2007 our vacancy rate was approximately 38%.

General and administrative  expenses increased by approximately $0.8 million, or
35.0%,  from $2.2  million for the year ended  December 31, 2006 to $3.0 million
for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in general and administrative
expenses was primarily a result of higher legal fees associated with a potential
acquisition  of the  Company,  salaries and wages and  share-based  compensation
expense.

</TABLE>

Depreciation and amortization expense of real estate from continuing  operations
increased by $1.0 million, or 4.7%,  primarily due to new construction of tenant
improvements and the write-offs of additional  amortization  expense relating to
in-place lease value  intangible  assets pursuant to SFAS 141 in connection with
two lease terminations.

</TABLE>

As of December 31, 2007 and 2006,  we owned a  controlling  general  partnership
interest of 19.94%,  21.78%,  16.26% and 12.48% and 19.71%,  21.78%,  16.26% and
12.48%  in the four  operating  partnerships,  Mission  West  Properties,  L.P.,
Mission West Properties,  L.P. I, Mission West  Properties,  L.P. II and Mission
West Properties,  L.P. III, respectively.  We owned an 18.73% and 18.23% general
partnership  interest  in the  operating  partnerships,  taken as a whole,  on a
consolidated   weighted  average  basis  as  of  December  31,  2007  and  2006,
respectively.  Net  income  to common  stockholders  in 2007  increased  by $4.3
million,  or 29.1%,  from  December 31,  2006.  Our net income  attributable  to
minority  interests in 2007 increased by $10.6 million,  or 16.0%, from December
31, 2006. The increase in net income  attributable  to common  stockholders  and
minority interests resulted primarily due to higher lease termination fee income
described above.

Minority interests  represent the limited partners' ownership interest of 81.27%
and 81.77% in the operating  partnerships,  on a weighted  average basis,  as of
December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The decrease in the minority interest
ownership  percentage resulted from the exchange of O.P. Units for shares of the
Company's common stock.

</TABLE>

In 2007, we sold two R&D properties and in accordance  with our adoption of SFAS
144,  classified  the net gains on sale and  operating  results of the  disposed
properties as discontinued operations, and in 2006, we sold three R&D properties
and  classified  the net gains on sale and  operating  results  of the  disposed
properties as discontinued operations. SFAS 144 requires prior period results of
operations for these properties to be retrospectively  adjusted and presented in
discontinued operations in prior consolidated statements of operations.

We  recognized  total income of $6.6 million from  discontinued  operations,  of
which $1.1 million and $5.5 million were attributable to common stockholders and
minority interests,  respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2007. For the
year ended  December  31, 2006,  we  recognized  total income from  discontinued
operations  of $19.6  million.  The income to common  stockholders  and minority
interests attributable to discontinued  operations from these properties in 2006
was approximately $3.2 million and $16.4 million, respectively.

COMPARISON  OF THE YEAR ENDED  DECEMBER 31, 2006 TO THE YEAR ENDED  DECEMBER 31,

RENTAL REVENUE FROM CONTINUING PROPERTY OPERATIONS
As of December  31,  2006 and 2005,  through our  controlling  interests  in the
operating  partnerships,  we owned 107 R&D properties totaling approximately 7.7
and 7.8 million  rentable  square feet,  respectively.  We sold three vacant R&D
properties and acquired three leased R&D properties during 2006.

The  following  table  depicts the  amounts of rental  revenue  from  continuing
operations  for the years ended  December 31, 2006 and 2005  represented  by our

(1)  "Same Property" is defined as properties  owned by us prior to 2005 that we
     still owned as of December 31, 2006.
(2)  Operating  rental  revenue for 2006  Acquisitions  do not reflect a full 12
     months of  operations  in 2006 because  these  properties  were acquired at
     various times during the year.

For the year ended  December  31,  2006,  our rental  revenue  from real  estate
decreased by ($7.6)  million,  or (7.7%).  Pursuant to SFAS 141, $1.9 million of
amortization  expense with  respect to  above-market  leases was offset  against
revenue  for the years ended  December  31,  2006 and 2005.  The ($7.6)  million
decrease in rental revenue  resulted from current  adverse market  conditions as
"Same Property" rents decreased, due to lease terminations,  cessation of tenant
operations and tenant relocations since December 31, 2005.

Our overall  occupancy rate for leased  properties at December 31, 2006 and 2005
was approximately 69.5% and 68.9%, respectively. According to the BT Report, the
leased  occupancy  rate for R&D  property in the Silicon  Valley at December 31,
2006 was approximately 81.7%. Factors that contributed to our low occupancy rate
were primarily the general  downturn in the Silicon  Valley's  economy in recent
years,  the  softening of the R&D property  market  specifically  and the weaker
relative  performance  of certain  properties due to their location and the weak
demand in those submarkets.

EQUITY IN EARNINGS FROM UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE
As of December 31, 2006, we had  investments  in three R&D  buildings,  totaling
466,600   rentable   square  feet  in  Morgan  Hill,   California,   through  an
unconsolidated  joint venture with TBI, in which we acquired a 50% interest from
the Berg Group in January  2003.  In July 2006,  this joint venture sold one R&D
property with approximately  126,400 rentable square feet for approximately $8.5
million.  The total gain on the sale was  approximately  $0.88  million of which
$0.44  million  was our share.  We have a  non-controlling  limited  partnership
interest in this joint venture,  which we account for using the equity method of
accounting.  For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005,  equity in earnings
from the unconsolidated  joint venture was approximately $2.0 million (including
$0.4 million  relating to a gain from the sale of real estate) and $0.7 million,
respectively.  Our equity in earnings  from this  unconsolidated  joint  venture
increased primarily due to a gain on sale of one R&D property and the write-offs
of  leasing  commission  and  tenant  improvements  in 2005  for a  tenant  that
terminated its lease  agreement  which did not recur in 2006. The occupancy rate
for the properties owned by this joint venture at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was
approximately 100% and 78.7%, respectively.

</TABLE>

Other  income,  including  lease  terminations,  settlements  and  interest,  of
approximately  $20.6  million  for the year ended  December  31,  2006  included
approximately  $16.1 million from  termination  fees, $2.3 million from interest
income,  $1.1 million  from  management  fees,  $0.5 million from a property tax
accrual,  $0.2 million  from tenant  bankruptcy  settlements,  $0.1 million from
security  deposit  forfeitures and $0.3 million from  miscellaneous  income.  In
2006,  of the $16.1  million  in lease  termination  fees,  approximately  $11.1
million was from the JDS Uniphase  lease  termination.  Other income,  including
lease terminations,  settlements and interest, of approximately $4.6 million for
the year ended  December  31, 2005  included  approximately  $2.4  million  from
termination  fees,  $0.9 million from  management fee income,  $0.6 million from
interest income,  $0.5 million from security deposit  forfeitures,  $0.1 million
from tenant bankruptcy  settlements and $0.1 million from miscellaneous  income.
Management  fees are paid by the tenants to the landlord for the  administration
and supervision of the property.  We do not consider termination fees and tenant
bankruptcy settlements to be recurring items.

Operating expenses from continuing  operations  decreased by ($0.1) million,  or
(0.6%), from $18.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $18.5 million
for the year ended  December 31, 2006.  Tenant  reimbursements  from  continuing
operations  decreased by ($1.0) million,  or (6.9%),  from $14.0 million for the
year ended  December 31, 2005 to $13.0  million for the year ended  December 31,
2006.  The decrease in tenant  reimbursements  resulted  primarily  from the JDS
Uniphase lease terminations in early 2006 at three R&D properties  consisting of
approximately  252,000 rentable square feet. Total operating  expenses  exceeded
tenant  reimbursements  because of vacancies,  which reached  approximately  2.4
million rentable square feet by year-end 2006.  Certain operating  expenses such
as property  insurance,  real estate  taxes,  and other fixed  expenses  are not
recoverable  from vacant  properties.  At December 31, 2006 our vacancy rate was
approximately 31%.

General and administrative  expenses increased by approximately $0.3 million, or
17.7%,  from $1.9  million for the year ended  December 31, 2005 to $2.2 million
for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in general and administrative
expenses was primarily a result of share-based  compensation  expensing, as well
as fees paid in connection  with filing a registration  statement for the resale
of shares of common stock to be acquired  from time to time upon the exchange of
O.P. Units for shares of the Company's common stock.

</TABLE>

Depreciation and amortization expense of real estate from continuing  operations
increased  by $1.3  million,  or  6.1%,  primarily  due to  tenant  improvements
write-offs and higher amortization  expense for in-place leases arising from the
acquisition of three R&D properties in early 2006.

The following table depicts the amounts of interest  expense from operations for
the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Interest expense decreased by ($0.6) million,  or (2.8%),  primarily from a cash
flow interest rate derivative loss of approximately ($0.8) million recognized in
2005 that did not recur in 2006. Interest expense (related parties) decreased by
($0.2)  million,  or (22.3%),  because we paid off the Berg Group line of credit
during 2005 and terminated it effective October 31, 2005.

As of December 31, 2006 and 2005,  we owned a  controlling  general  partnership
interest of 19.71%,  21.78%,  16.26% and 12.48% and 17.81%,  21.68%,  16.18% and
12.41%  in the four  operating  partnerships,  Mission  West  Properties,  L.P.,
Mission West Properties,  L.P. I, Mission West  Properties,  L.P. II and Mission
West Properties,  L.P. III, respectively.  We owned an 18.23% and 17.50% general
partnership  interest  in the  operating  partnerships,  taken as a whole,  on a
consolidated   weighted  average  basis  as  of  December  31,  2006  and  2005,
respectively.  Net  income  to common  stockholders  in 2006  increased  by $4.6
million,  or 45.9%,  from  December 31,  2005.  Our net income  attributable  to
minority  interests in 2006 increased by $18.8 million,  or 39.6%, from December
31, 2005. The increase in net income  attributable  to common  stockholders  and
minority interests resulted primarily due to higher lease termination fee income
and gain from sale of real estate.

Minority interests  represent the limited partners' ownership interest of 81.77%
and 82.50% in the operating  partnerships,  on a weighted  average basis,  as of
December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The decrease in the minority interest
ownership  percentage

                                       33

resulted  from the  exchange of O.P.  Units for shares of the  Company's  common
stock and the exercise of stock options, the proceeds of which we applied to the
purchase of additional general partnership interests.

</TABLE>

In  accordance  with  our  adoption  of SFAS  144,  in 2006  we sold  three  R&D
properties  and  classified  the net gains on sale and operating  results of the
disposed properties as discontinued  operations.  SFAS 144 requires prior period
results of operations for these  properties to be  retrospectively  adjusted and
presented  in  discontinued  operations  in  prior  consolidated  statements  of
operations.

We recognized  total income of $19.6 million from  discontinued  operations,  of
which $3.2 million and $16.4 million were  attributable  to common  stockholders
and minority interests,  respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2006. For
the year ended December 31, 2005, we recognized  total income from  discontinued
operations  of $4.1  million.  The income to common  stockholders  and  minority
interests attributable to discontinued  operations from these properties in 2005
was approximately $0.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007
The most  significant  changes in our financial  condition in 2007 resulted from
the  acquisition of four R&D  properties,  the acquisition of 55 acres of vacant
land,  the  disposition of two R&D properties and the exchange of O.P. Units for
shares of the Company's common stock.

During 2007, we acquired four R&D properties representing  approximately 247,000
rentable  square feet for an aggregate  gross  purchase  price of  approximately
$26.3 million. We acquired three of the R&D properties in tax-deferred  exchange
transactions and paid cash and issued O.P. Units to members of the Berg Group to
acquire  the  fourth  property.  We also  acquired  55 acres of vacant  land for
approximately $27.8 million in a tax-deferred exchange transaction.  In addition
to those property  acquisitions,  we sold two R&D properties to unrelated  third
parties  for a total gross sales price of  approximately  $16.0  million.  Those
property  dispositions  reduced  approximately  87,000 rentable square feet. The
proceeds were  classified as restricted  cash for use in  tax-deferred  property
exchanges  and were  reflected on our  consolidated  balance sheet as restricted
cash at December 31, 2007 (see Item 8, "Financial  Statements and  Supplementary
Data - Note 6" for further discussion of this transaction).

Debt outstanding,  including  amounts due related parties,  decreased by ($11.1)
million,  or (3.1%),  from  $357.8  million as of  December  31,  2006 to $346.7
million as of December 31, 2007 due to normal scheduled debt payments.

In 2007,  two  limited  partners  exchanged  a total of 220,500  O.P.  Units for
220,500  shares  of common  stock  pursuant  to the  Exchange  Rights  Agreement
resulting in a  reclassification  of  approximately  $2.9 million from  minority
interests to paid-in-capital.

The conversion of O.P. Units to shares of the Company's common stock was applied
to  increase  our  percentage  interest  as  general  partner  in the  operating
partnerships.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006
The most  significant  changes in our financial  condition in 2006 resulted from
the  acquisition  of  three  R&D  properties,   the  disposition  of  three  R&D
properties,  and the exercise of stock  options and  exchange of O.P.  Units for
shares of the Company's common stock.

During 2006, we sold three vacant R&D properties to an unrelated third party for
a total  gross  sales  price of  approximately  $43.3  million.  Those  property
dispositions  reduced  approximately  235,000 rentable square feet of space from
our property portfolio.  The proceeds were classified as restricted cash for use
in  tax-deferred  property  exchanges  and were  reflected  on our  consolidated
balance  sheet as restricted  cash at December 31, 2006 (see Item 8,  "Financial
Statements  and  Supplementary  Data - Note 6" for  further  discussion  of this
transaction). In addition to those three property dispositions, we also acquired
three R&D properties representing approximately 138,000 rentable square feet for
a total gross combined  purchase price of approximately  $16.0 million.  Two R&D
properties  were acquired in a tax-deferred  exchange  transaction and the other
one in cash.

                                       34
<PAGE>

Debt  outstanding,  including  amounts due related parties,  decreased by ($9.7)
million,  or (2.7%),  from  $367.5  million as of  December  31,  2005 to $357.8
million as of December 31, 2006 due to normal scheduled debt payments.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, stock options to purchase 80,000 shares
of the  Company's  common  stock  were  exercised  at $8.25  per share and stock
options to purchase  32,900 shares of the Company's  common stock were exercised
at $10.00 per share.  The total  proceeds to the Company of  approximately  $1.0
million increased paid-in-capital.

In 2006,  three  limited  partners  exchanged a total of 871,596 O.P.  Units for
871,596 shares of the Company's common stock resulting in a reclassification  of
approximately $10.2 million from minority interests to paid-in-capital. In 2006,
Carl E. Berg gave 92,300 O.P. Units to charitable  institutions.  Only 10,300 of
those O.P.  Units had been  exchanged for 10,300 shares of the Company's  common
stock by December 31, 2006.  The remaining  82,000 O.P. Units were exchanged for
82,000 shares of the Company's common stock in early 2007.

The proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the conversion of O.P. Units
to shares of the Company's  common stock were applied to increase our percentage
interest as general partner in the operating partnerships.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In 2008, we anticipate  operating  cash flows from our property  portfolio to be
lower  compared  to 2007.  We are still  experiencing  weak  demand  for our R&D
properties  in certain  areas of the Silicon  Valley  (mainly the south San Jose
area).  If we are unable to lease a  significant  portion  of the  approximately
328,000  rentable square feet scheduled to expire in 2008 and current  available
space, our operating cash flows will be affected adversely.  We are also subject
to risks of decreased  occupancy through tenant defaults and  bankruptcies,  and
potential  reduction  in rental rates upon  renewal of  properties,  which would
result in  reduction  in cash  flows  from  operations  beyond  the level we are
anticipating currently.

We expect our principal  source of liquidity for  distributions  to stockholders
and O.P. Unit holders,  debt service,  leasing commissions and recurring capital
expenditures to come from cash provided by operations  and/or future  borrowings
under our $10 million line of credit with the Heritage  Bank of Commerce,  which
we obtained in early 2008.  We expect these  sources of liquidity to be adequate
to meet projected  distributions to stockholders and other presently anticipated
liquidity  requirements  in 2008.  We  expect  to meet our  long-term  liquidity
requirements for the funding of property development,  property acquisitions and
other material  non-recurring capital improvements through cash and investments,
long-term  secured and  unsecured  indebtedness  and the issuance of  additional
equity  securities by us. We have the ability to meet short-term  obligations or
other liquidity  needs based on our existing cash reserves.  In 2008, we will be
obligated  to  make  payments  totaling  approximately  $121.6  million  of debt
principal  under mortgage  notes without  regard to any debt  refinancing or new
debt  obligations  that we might incur,  or optional  payments of debt principal
including  approximately $112.5 million owed to the Prudential Insurance Company
of America  loan which  matures in October  2008.  We  currently  are seeking to
refinance the Prudential loan and expect to obtain a replacement loan. We cannot
be assured of refinancing this loan however,  and especially in light of current
conditions in the credit market,  may be required to pay higher interest expense
and financing fees for new debt.

As of December 31, 2007, we were in compliance  with loan covenants  relating to
the Prudential Insurance, Northwestern Mutual and Allianz mortgage loans.

Cash and cash equivalents  decreased by approximately ($10.1) million from $33.8
million as of December 31, 2006 to $23.7 million as of December 31, 2007.

Restricted  cash totaled  $65.5 million as of December 31, 2007. Of this amount,
$15.6 million represents proceeds received from the Northport and Morse property
sales and earned  interest  income  held in a separate  cash  account at a trust
company  for  future  use in  tax-deferred  exchanges  (see  Item 8,  "Financial
Statements  and  Supplementary  Data - Note 6" for  further  discussion  of this
transaction).  $48.4  million  represents a balance we  consolidated  due to our
adoption of FIN 46R (see Item 8, "Financial  Statements and Supplementary Data -
Note 7" for further discussion of this transaction).  The remaining $1.5 million
represents a certificate  of deposit setup for a current loan escrow.  We do not
possess or control  these  funds or have any  rights to receive  them  except as
provided  in  the  applicable  agreements.  Therefore,  restricted  cash  is not
available for distribution to stockholders.

Since 1999,  we have  elected to be taxed as a REIT under the  Internal  Revenue
Code of 1986. We currently intend to continue  operating as a REIT in 2008. As a
REIT, we are subject to a number of organizational  and operating  requirements,
including  a  requirement  to  distribute  90%  of  our  taxable  income  to our
stockholders. Also as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income
taxes on our taxable income.

Generally,  our objective is to meet our  short-term  liquidity  requirement  of
funding  the payment of our  current  level of  quarterly  common  dividends  to
stockholders  and O.P.  Unit  holders  through  our net cash flows  provided  by
operating  activities,  less our recurring  and  nonrecurring  property  capital
expenditures.  These operating capital expenditures are the capital expenditures
necessary to maintain the earnings capacity of our operating assets over time.

For  2008,  we will  increase  our  quarterly  dividend  payment  rate to common
stockholders  and O.P.  Unit  holders  from $0.16 to $0.20 per  share.  However,
distributions  are declared at the  discretion of our Board of Directors and are
subject to actual cash  available for  distribution,  our  financial  condition,
capital  requirements  and such other factors,  as our Board of Directors  deems
relevant (see Item 1A, "Risk Factors - Stockholders are not assured of receiving
cash distributions from us"). On January 3, 2008, we paid dividends of $0.16 per
share of common  stock to all common  stockholders  of record as of December 31,
2007. On the same date, the operating  partnerships paid a distribution of $0.16
per  O.P.  Unit  to  all  holders  of  O.P.  Units.   Aggregate   dividends  and
distributions amounted to approximately $16.8 million.

On January 7, 2008,  we  borrowed $3 million  from Carl E. Berg on a  short-term
basis to fund an  anticipated  property  acquisition.  The $3  million  loan was
repaid on January 30, 2008.  The  transaction  was  approved by the  Independent
Directors Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.

Funds  available  for  distributions  does not  represent  cash  generated  from
operating activities and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund
cash needs.  The actual return that we will realize and the amount available for
distributions to stockholders will be affected by a number of factors, including
the revenues received from our properties,  our operating expenses, debt service
on borrowings, and planned and unanticipated capital expenditures.

We anticipate  that cash  available for  distribution  will exceed  earnings and
profits for federal income tax purposes, as the latter figure takes into account
non-cash  expenses such as  depreciation  and  amortization  that we will incur.
Distributions  other than capital gain  distributions by us to the extent of our
current and  accumulated  earnings  and profits for federal  income tax purposes
most likely will be taxable to U.S.  stockholders  as ordinary  dividend  income
unless a stockholder is a tax-exempt entity. Distributions in excess of earnings
and profits  generally  will be treated as a  non-taxable  reduction of the U.S.
stockholder's  basis  in the  common  stock to the  extent  of such  basis,  and
thereafter as taxable gain.  The percentage of such  distributions  in excess of
earnings and profits, if any, may vary from period to period.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

(1)  Our  long-term  debt  obligations  are set forth in detail in the  schedule
     below.
(2)  Our operating lease  obligations  relate to a lease of our corporate office
     facility from a related party.

At December 31, 2007, we had total indebtedness of approximately $346.7 million,
all of which is fixed rate mortgage debt. A table listing our indebtedness as of
December  31,  2007  is  set  forth  in  Item  8,   "Financial   Statements  and
Supplementary Data - Note 8."

At December 31, 2007, our debt to total market  capitalization  ratio,  which is
computed  as our  total  debt  outstanding  divided  by the  sum of  total  debt
outstanding  plus the market value of common stock (based upon the closing price
of $9.51 per share on December 31, 2007) on a fully diluted basis, including the
conversion of all O.P.  Units into common stock,  was  approximately  25.7%.  On
December   31,  2007,   the  last  trading  day  for  the  year,   total  market
capitalization was approximately $1.35 billion.  By comparison,  on December 29,
2006 total debt as a  percentage  of market  capitalization  was 20.7% and total
market capitalization was approximately $1.73 billion.

At December 31, 2007, the  outstanding  balance  remaining  under certain demand
notes that we owed to the operating  partnerships was $2.0 million. The due date
of the demand notes has been  extended to September  30, 2009.  The principal of
the demand notes,  along with the interest expense,  which is interest income to
the operating  partnerships,  is eliminated in consolidation and is not included
in the corresponding  line items within the consolidated  financial  statements.
However,  the interest  income  earned by the operating  partnerships,  which is
interest  expense  to us, in  connection  with this  debt,  is  included  in the
calculation of minority  interest as reported on the consolidated  statements of
operations, thereby reducing our net income by this same amount. At present, our
only means for repayment of this debt is through  distributions  that we receive
from the operating partnerships that are in excess of the amount of dividends to
be paid to our stockholders or by raising additional equity capital.

</TABLE>

COMPARISON  OF THE YEAR ENDED  DECEMBER 31, 2007 TO THE YEAR ENDED  DECEMBER 31,
2006
Cash and cash equivalents were approximately $23.7 million at December 31, 2007,
a decrease of ($10.1) million from $33.8 million at December 31, 2006.

Net cash provided by operating  activities  for the year ended December 31, 2007
was approximately $23.5 million, compared to approximately $27.0 million for the
prior year.  The  decrease in cash  provided by  operating  activities  resulted
primarily from lower lease termination fee payment, lower deferred rental income
and higher leasing commission payments (included in other assets) in 2007.

Cash used in investing  primarily  consists of property  acquisitions,  property
sales and improvements to our properties.  Net cash used in investing activities
was  approximately  ($8.5) million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared
to  approximately  ($5.4)  million for the prior year.  In 2007, we acquired six
properties  for  approximately  $47.5  million,  incurred  capital  expenditures
relating  to  real  estate   improvements  of  approximately  $4.9  million  and
transferred  excess restricted cash of approximately $0.6 million to our general
cash account.  We used restricted cash totaling  approximately  $43.2 million of
the  acquisition  of  three  R&D  properties  and 55  acres  of  vacant  land in
tax-deferred  exchange  transactions  involving  our  former R&D  properties  at
Samaritan  Drive  in San  Jose,  California.  We  sold  two R&D  properties  for
approximately $15.4 million,  net, as described above, the proceeds of which are
reflected on our  consolidated  balance sheet as restricted cash at December 31,
2007.  In 2006,  we sold three vacant R&D  properties  for  approximately  $42.6
million,  net. We acquired three R&D properties for approximately $16.0 million,
incurred  capital   expenditures   relating  to  real  estate   improvements  of
approximately $4.3 million and transferred  approximately $1.8 million of excess
restricted  cash to our general cash account.  We used  restricted cash totaling
approximately $13.5 million to complete the acquisition of two R&D properties in
a  tax-deferred  exchange  transaction  involving our former R&D property at 800
Embedded Way, San Jose,  California.  Proceeds of  approximately  $43.0 million,
which included earned interest,  from the three vacant R&D property dispositions
were classified as restricted cash for use in  tax-deferred  property  exchanges
and were  reflected on our  consolidated  balance  sheet as  restricted  cash at
December 31, 2006.

Net cash used in financing activities was approximately  ($25.0) million for the
year ended December 31, 2007, compared to approximately  ($19.3) million for the
year ended  December  31,  2006.  During  2007,  financing  activities  included
payments  of  approximately  $11.0  million  for  outstanding  debt,  payment of
approximately  $1.5 million for a  certificate  of deposit  related to a current
loan escrow and payments of approximately  $12.5 million to common  stockholders
as  dividends.  During  2006,  financing  activities  included the net effect of
payments  of  approximately  $9.8  million  for  outstanding  debt,  receipt  of
approximately  $1.6  million  from the  refund of an  appeal  bond,  receipt  of
approximately   $1.0  million  from  stock  option  exercises  and  payments  of
approximately $12.1 million to common stockholders as dividends.

COMPARISON  OF THE YEAR ENDED  DECEMBER 31, 2006 TO THE YEAR ENDED  DECEMBER 31,
2005
Cash and cash equivalents were approximately $33.8 million at December 31, 2006,
an increase of $2.4 million from $31.4 million at December 31, 2005.

Net cash provided by operating  activities  for the year ended December 31, 2006
was approximately $27.0 million, compared to approximately $21.9 million for the
prior year.  The  increase in cash  provided by  operating  activities  resulted
primarily from higher lease  termination fee payment,  higher  interest  income,
higher  distributions  from our  unconsolidated  joint venture,  higher deferred
rental income and lower leasing  commission  payments (included in other assets)
in 2006.

Our cash used in  investing is primarily  for  property  acquisitions,  property
sales and improvements to our properties.  Net cash used in investing activities
was  approximately  ($5.4) million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared
to  approximately  ($2.9) million for the prior year. In 2006, we acquired three
R&D properties for approximately  $16.0 million,  incurred capital  expenditures
relating to real estate  improvements of  approximately  $4.3 million and excess
restricted  cash of  approximately  $1.8 million was  transferred to our general
cash account.  Restricted cash in the amount of approximately  $13.5 million was
used to  complete  the  acquisition  of two  R&D  properties  in a  tax-deferred
exchange transaction  involving our former R&D property at 800 Embedded Way, San
Jose,  California.  We sold three vacant R&D properties for approximately  $42.6
million, net, as described above. Proceeds of approximately $43.0 million, which
included earned interest,  from the three vacant R&D property  dispositions were
classified as restricted  cash for use in  tax-deferred  property  exchanges and
were reflected on our consolidated  balance sheet as restricted cash at December
31, 2006.

                                       37
<PAGE>


In 2005, we sold three vacant R&D properties for approximately $27.5 million. We
acquired one vacant R&D property for  approximately  $14.2  million and incurred
capital expenditures  relating to real estate improvements of approximately $1.1
million.  Proceeds of  approximately  $15.1 million from one of the three vacant
R&D  property  dispositions  were  classified  as  restricted  cash  for  use in
tax-deferred  property exchanges and were reflected on our consolidated  balance
sheet as restricted cash at December 31, 2005.

Net cash (used  in)/provided by financing  activities was approximately  ($19.3)
million for the year ended December 31, 2006,  compared to  approximately  $10.9
million for the year ended December 31, 2005. During 2006,  financing activities
included  the  net  effect  of  payments  of  approximately   $9.8  million  for
outstanding  debt,  receipt of approximately  $1.6 million from the refund of an
appeal bond,  receipt of approximately  $1.0 million from stock option exercises
and payments of approximately $12.1 million to common stockholders as dividends.
During  2005,   financing  activities  included  the  net  effect  of  borrowing
approximately  $150.8  million under two new  collateralized  mortgage loans and
payments of approximately  $120.3 million for outstanding debt. We also received
approximately $0.5 million from stock option exercises, paid approximately $11.7
million to common  stockholders as dividends and paid approximately $8.4 million
to O.P. Unit holders for distributions in excess of their share of earnings.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

The  properties  require  periodic  investments  of capital  for  tenant-related
capital expenditures and for general capital  improvements.  For the years ended
December 31, 2003  through  December 31,  2007,  the  recurring  tenant/building
improvement  costs and leasing  commissions  incurred with respect to new leases
and  lease  renewals  of the  properties  averaged  approximately  $5.0  million
annually. We will have approximately 328,000 rentable square feet under expiring
leases  in  2008.   We  expect  that  the  average   annual  cost  of  recurring
tenant/building improvements and leasing commissions related to these properties
will be  approximately  $4.0  million  during  2008.  We believe we will recover
substantially  all of these  costs  from the  tenants  under the new or  renewed
leases through contractual increases in rental rates. Until we actually sign the
leases, however, we cannot assure you that this will occur. Capital expenditures
may fluctuate in any given period subject to the nature,  extent,  and timing of
improvements required to be made to the properties. Tenant/building improvements
and leasing  costs also may  fluctuate in any given period year  depending  upon
factors such as the property,  the term of the lease,  the type of lease and the
overall  market   conditions.   We  expect  to  meet  our  long-term   liquidity
requirements  for the  funding  of  property  acquisitions  and  other  material
non-recurring  capital  improvements  through our currently available sources of
capital,  including operating cash flows, cash on hand, and our existing line of
credit with  Heritage Bank of Commerce  (see  "Policies  with Respect to Certain
Activities - Financing Policies" below).

DISTRIBUTION POLICY

Distributions are determined by our Board of Directors and depend on actual cash
available for distributions,  our financial condition, capital requirements, the
annual distribution  requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code and such
other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant.  For a discussion of the
risk  that we will not  meet our  distribution  objectives,  see Item 1A,  "Risk
Factors - Stockholders are not assured of receiving cash distributions from us."

POLICIES WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN ACTIVITIES

We have adopted  policies with respect to  investment,  financing,  conflicts of
interest and other activities.  These policies have been formulated by our Board
of  Directors,  are set  forth in our  charter,  bylaws,  operating  partnership
agreements  or agreements  with the Berg Group,  and generally may be amended or
revised  from  time to time,  subject  to  applicable  agreement  terms,  at the
discretion of the Board of Directors without a vote of the  stockholders.  Among
other things, these policies provide that:

-    so long as the Berg Group members and their  affiliates,  other than us and
     the operating  partnerships,  beneficially own, in the aggregate,  at least
     15% of the outstanding shares of common stock on a Fully Diluted basis, the
     approval  of a majority  of our  directors,  including  Carl E. Berg or his
     designee as a director,  and of the holders of a majority of the O.P. Units
     is  required  for us to take title to assets,  other  than  temporarily  in
     connection  with an acquisition  prior to  contributing  such assets to the
     operating  partnerships,  or to conduct  business  other than  through  the
     operating  partnerships,  or for us or the operating partnerships to engage
     in any business other than the  ownership,  construction,  development  and
     operation of real estate properties,  or for certain fundamental  corporate
     actions,  including  amendments  to our  charter,  bylaws or any  operating
     partnership  agreement  and  any  merger,  consolidation  or sale of all or
     substantially   all  of  our  assets  or  the   assets  of  the   operating
     partnerships;
-    changes in certain  policies  with respect to conflicts of interest must be
     consistent with legal requirements;
-    certain policies with respect to competition by and  acquisitions  from the
     Berg Group are imposed pursuant to provisions of the acquisition  agreement
     that cannot be amended or waived  without the  approval of the  Independent
     Directors Committee of our Board of Directors;
-    we cannot take any action intended to terminate our qualification as a REIT
     without the approval of more than 75% of the entire Board of Directors; and
                                       38
<PAGE>


-    we cannot  undertake  certain other specified  transactions,  including the
     issuance of debt securities,  and borrowings in excess of specified limits,
     or the  amendment  of our charter and bylaws,  without the approval of more
     than 75% of the entire Board of Directors.

INVESTMENT POLICIES

We expect to pursue our business and investment  objectives  principally through
the direct ownership by the operating  partnerships of our properties and future
acquired properties. Development or investment activities are not limited to any
specified  percentage of our assets. We may also participate with other entities
in property  ownership,  through joint ventures or other types of  co-ownership.
Equity  investments  may be subject to  existing  mortgage  financing  and other
indebtedness that have priority over our equity interests.

While  we  will  emphasize  equity  real  estate  investments,  we  may,  in our
discretion and subject to the percentage ownership  limitations and gross income
tests necessary for REIT qualification, invest in mortgage and other real estate
interests,  including securities of other real estate investment trusts. We have
not  previously  invested  in  mortgages  or  securities  of other  real  estate
investment trusts,  however,  and do not have any present intention to make such
investments.

FINANCING POLICIES

To the extent that our Board of Directors determines to seek additional capital,
we may raise such capital through additional equity offerings, debt financing or
retention  of cash  flow,  or  through a  combination  of these  sources,  after
consideration  of provisions of the Code requiring the distribution by a REIT of
a certain  percentage  of its taxable  income and taking into account taxes that
would be imposed on undistributed  taxable income.  It is our present  intention
that any additional borrowings will be made through the operating  partnerships,
although  we may incur  borrowings  that  would be  re-loaned  to the  operating
partnerships. Borrowings may be unsecured or may be secured by any or all of our
assets, the operating partnerships or any existing or new property, and may have
full or limited  recourse  to all or any portion of our  assets,  the  operating
partnerships or any existing or new property.

We have adopted a policy of  maintaining a  consolidated  ratio of debt to total
market  capitalization,  which includes for this purpose the market value of all
shares of common stock for which  outstanding  O.P. Units are  exchangeable,  of
less than 50%. This ratio may not be exceeded  without the approval of more than
75% of our  entire  Board  of  Directors.  We  also  may  determine  to  finance
acquisitions  through the exchange of  properties  or the issuance of additional
O.P.  Units in the  operating  partnerships,  shares  of  common  stock or other
securities.

In the event that the Board of Directors  determines to raise additional  equity
capital, it has the authority, without stockholder approval, to issue additional
shares  of common  stock,  preferred  stock or other  capital  stock,  including
securities  senior to the common stock,  in any manner and on such terms and for
such consideration it deems appropriate,  including in exchange for property. In
the event that we issue any  shares of common  stock or  securities  convertible
into or  exchangeable  or exercisable  for,  shares of common stock,  subject to
limited  exceptions,  such as the issuance of common stock pursuant to any stock
incentive  plan adopted by us or pursuant to limited  partners'  exercise of the
exchange rights or the put rights,  the limited  partners will have the right to
purchase common stock or such  securities in order to maintain their  respective
percentage  interests in us on a Fully Diluted basis.  If the Board of Directors
determines that we will raise  additional  equity capital to fund investments by
the  operating  partnerships,  we will  contribute  such funds to the  operating
partnerships  as a  contribution  to capital and purchase of additional  general
partnership  interest;  however,  holders  of O.P.  Units will have the right to
participate  in such  funding on a pro rata basis.  In the event that holders of
O.P. Units sell their O.P. Units to us upon exercise of their put rights, we are
authorized to raise the funds for such purchase by issuing  additional shares of
common stock.  Alternatively,  we may issue additional shares of common stock in
exchange for the tendered O.P. Units.

Our  Board  of  Directors   also  has  the  authority  to  cause  the  operating
partnerships to issue  additional O.P. Units in any manner and on such terms and
for such  consideration,  as it deems  appropriate,  including  in exchange  for
property. In the event that the operating  partnerships issue new O.P. Units for
cash, but not property,  the limited partners holding O.P. Units in an operating
partnership  will have the right to  purchase  O.P.  Units in order,  and to the
extent  necessary,  to maintain their  respective  percentage  interests in that
operating partnership.  The new O.P. Units will be exchangeable for common stock
pursuant  to the  exchange  rights or may be  tendered to us pursuant to the put
rights.

DISPOSITION POLICIES

From time to time we may dispose of properties in our portfolio,  subject to the
required  approvals as set forth  below.  During the past two years we have sold
vacant R&D  properties  that we did not believe  were likely to earn the type of
return on assets that we seek. We will  continue to dispose of  under-performing
properties when we consider it appropriate.

A significant factor influencing our disposition policy is that the tax basis of
the  limited  partners  in the  properties  in  the  operating  partnerships  is
substantially  less than current fair market  value.  Accordingly,  prior to the
disposition of their O.P. Units, upon a disposition of any of the properties,  a
disproportionately large share of the gain for federal income tax purposes would
be allocated to

                                       39
<PAGE>

the limited  partners.  Consequently,  it may be in the interests of the limited
partners that we continue to hold the  properties in order to defer such taxable
gain. In light of this tax effect, the operating partnership  agreements provide
that,  until December 29, 2008,  Carl E. Berg and Clyde J. Berg may prohibit the
operating  partnerships  from disposing of properties  which they designate in a
taxable  transaction.  Mr. Kontrabecki has a similar right with respect to seven
of the  properties.  The  limited  partners  may seek to cause us to retain  the
properties  even when such  action  may not be in the  interests  of some,  or a
majority, of our stockholders. The operating partnerships will be able to effect
"tax-deferred,"  like-kind  exchanges  under  Section  1031 of the  Code,  or in
connection  with  other  non-taxable  transactions,  such as a  contribution  of
property to a new  partnership,  without  obtaining the prior written consent of
these individuals.

In addition, the approval of a majority of our directors, including Carl E. Berg
or his  designee,  will be  required  to sell  all or  substantially  all of our
assets.  The  consent of the  holders of a  majority  of the O.P.  Units will be
required to effect a sale or sales of all, or  substantially  all, of the assets
of any of the operating partnerships.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

We do not believe that recently  issued  accounting  standards  will  materially
impact our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In June 2006, the FASB issued  Interpretation 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes" ("FIN 48").  FIN 48 clarifies the  accounting  for  uncertainty in
income taxes recognized in our financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109,
"Accounting  for Income  Taxes."  FIN 48  provides  guidance  on  derecognition,
classification,  interest and penalties,  and accounting in interim  periods and
requires  expanded  disclosure  with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes.
The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for our fiscal year beginning  January 1,
2007.  Based on our evaluation,  we have concluded that there are no significant
uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial  statements.  The
adoption  of FIN 48 on  January  1, 2007 did not have a  material  impact on our
consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In September  2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, "Fair Value  Measurements"  ("SFAS
157").  SFAS 157 defines fair value,  establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for our fiscal
year beginning  January 1, 2008.  The FASB has approved a one-year  deferral for
the  implementation of the Statement for non-financial  assets and non-financial
liabilities  that are  recognized  or disclosed  at fair value in the  financial
statements on a nonrecurring  basis.  We are currently  evaluating the impact of
the  provisions  of SFAS 157 and  currently  cannot  estimate  the impact to our
consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 provides companies with
an option to report  selected  financial  assets and  liabilities at fair value.
SFAS 159's  objective is to reduce both  complexity in accounting  for financial
instruments  and the volatility in earnings  caused by measuring  related assets
and  liabilities  differently.  SFAS 159 is effective for  financial  statements
issued for fiscal years  beginning  after November 15, 2007. We adopted SFAS 159
on a prospective  basis on January 1, 2008. We do not expect the  implementation
of SFAS 159 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In  December  2007,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  141  (Revised   2007),   "Business
Combinations"  ("SFAS 141R").  SFAS 141R will change the accounting for business
combinations. Under SFAS 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize
all  the  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  in a  transaction  at the
acquisition date fair value with limited  exceptions.  SFAS 141R will change the
accounting  treatment and  disclosure  for certain  specific items in a business
combination.  SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which
the acquisition  date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting
period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. We
are  currently  evaluating  the impact  SFAS 141R will have on our  consolidated
financial statements.

In  December  2007,  the FASB  issued  SFAS 160,  "Noncontrolling  Interests  in
Consolidated   Financial  Statements"  ("SFAS  160").  SFAS  160  requires  that
noncontrolling   interests  be   presented   as  a  component  of   consolidated
stockholders'  equity,  eliminates  "minority interest accounting" such that the
amount  of net  income  attributable  to the  noncontrolling  interests  will be
presented as part of consolidated  net income on the  consolidated  statement of
operations and not as a separate  component of income and expenses.  SFAS 160 is
effective  for fiscal  years  beginning on or after  December  15,  2008.  Early
adoption is  prohibited.  We are currently  evaluating  the impact SFAS 160 will
have on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 7A.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We do not generally hold market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.
We use fixed and variable rate debt to finance our  operations.  Our exposure to
market risk for  changes in  interest  rates  relates  primarily  to our current
variable  rate  debt and our  future  debt  obligations.  We are  vulnerable  to
significant  fluctuations  of interest  rates on our floating  rate debt.  As of
December 31, 2007,  we had no interest  rate risk since none of our  outstanding
debt is subject to variable interest rates.

We manage our market risk by monitoring interest rates where we try to recognize
the  unpredictability  of the financial  markets and seek to reduce  potentially
adverse effects on the results of our operations. This takes frequent evaluation
of available  lending rates and examination of  opportunities to reduce interest
expense  through new sources of debt financing.  Several  factors  affecting the
interest rate risk include governmental monetary and tax policies,  domestic and
international  economics  and other  factors  that are beyond our  control.  The
following table provides  information  about the principal cash flows,  weighted
average interest rates,  and expected  maturity dates for debt outstanding as of
December 31, 2007.  The current terms of our  outstanding  debt are described in
Item 8, "Financial  Statements and Supplementary  Data - Note 8." For fixed rate
debt, we estimate  fair value by using  discounted  cash flow analyses  based on
borrowing rates for similar kinds of borrowing  arrangements.  We estimated that
the fair value of fixed rate debt at December 31, 2007 was approximately  $444.3
million.

For fixed rate debt,  the table  presents the  assumption  that the  outstanding
principal  balance at December  31,  2007 will be paid  according  to  scheduled
principal payments and that we will not prepay any of the outstanding  principal
balance.

</TABLE>

All of our debt is denominated in United States  dollars.  The weighted  average
interest rate for the fixed rate debt was approximately  5.85% and 5.84% for the
years ended  December  31,  2007 and 2006.  The  decrease  in  interest  expense
attributable to the average  interest rate difference  between 2006 and 2007 was
approximately  ($0.6)  million,  which  was a result of  normal  scheduled  debt
payments in 2007.

The primary market risk we face is the risk of interest rate fluctuations.  With
a floating  interest  rate we could pay lower  rates of  interest  in periods of
decreasing  interest rates and higher rates of interest in periods of increasing
interest  rates.  At December 31, 2007, we had no interest rate caps or interest
rate swap contracts and had no variable rate debt  outstanding,  and thus had no
interest rate risk.

     REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ON CONSOLIDATED
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Board of Directors and Stockholders
Mission West Properties, Inc.
Cupertino, California

We have  audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet of Mission West
Properties,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  as of  December  31,  2007 and 2006 and the
related  consolidated  statements of operations,  stockholders'  equity and cash
flows for the years then ended. These consolidated  financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance  with the standards of the Public  Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the
consolidated  financial statements are free of material  misstatement.  An audit
includes  examining,  on a test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the  amounts  and
disclosures in the  consolidated  financial  statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall consolidated  financial statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of Mission  West
Properties,  Inc.  as of December  31,  2007 and 2006,  and the results of their
operations  and their cash flows for the years then ended,  in  conformity  with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have  audited,  in accordance  with the standards of the Public  Company
Accounting  Oversight Board (United States), the Company's internal control over
financial  reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria  established
in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations  of the Treadway  Commission,  and our report dated March 12, 2008
expressed  an  unqualified  opinion  on  the  Company's  internal  control  over
financial reporting.

We also have audited the adjustments to the related  consolidated  statements of
operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 for the retrospective  reporting
of  discontinued  operations,  as  described  in Note 17. In our  opinion,  such
adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied.  We were not engaged
to audit,  review,  or apply any procedures to the 2005 financial  statements of
the Company  referred to above other than with respect to the  adjustments  and,
accordingly,  we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the
2005 financial statements taken as a whole.

   Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control
                            over Financial Reporting



Board of Directors and Stockholders
Mission West Properties, Inc.
Cupertino, California


We have audited the internal  control over  financial  reporting of Mission West
Properties,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  as of December 31, 2007,  based on criteria
established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring  Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the "COSO criteria").  The
Company's  management is responsible for maintaining  effective internal control
over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control  over  financial  reporting  included in the  accompanying  Management's
Report on Internal Control over Financial  Reporting.  Our  responsibility is to
express an opinion on the  effectiveness of the Company's  internal control over
financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted  our audit in accordance  with the standards of the Public  Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain  reasonable  assurance  about whether  effective
internal  control  over  financial  reporting  was  maintained  in all  material
respects.  Our audits included  obtaining an  understanding  of internal control
over financial  reporting,  assessing the risk that a material  weakness exists,
testing  and  evaluating  the design and  operating  effectiveness  of  internal
control based on the assessed risk, and performing  such other  procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's  internal control over financial  reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable  assurance  regarding the reliability of financial  reporting
and the preparation of financial  statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over
financial  reporting  includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to
the  maintenance  of records that, in reasonable  detail,  accurately and fairly
reflect that  transactions  and  dispositions of the assets of the company;  (2)
provide  reasonable  assurance  that  transactions  are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting  principles,  and that receipts and  expenditures  of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of
the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of  unauthorized  acquisition,  use, or  disposition  of the company's
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent  limitations,  internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate  because of changes in  conditions,  or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our  opinion,  Mission  West  Properties,  Inc.  maintained,  in all material
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2007, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have  audited,  in accordance  with the standards of the Public  Company
Accounting  Oversight Board (United States),  the consolidated balance sheets of
Mission West Properties,  Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related
consolidated  statements of operations,  stockholders' equity and cash flows for
the years then ended, and the related  financial  statement  schedules listed in
the Index at Item 15(a),  and our reports  dated  March 12,  2008  expressed  an
unqualified opinion thereon.

1.   ORGANIZATIONS AND FORMATION OF THE COMPANY

Mission  West   Properties,   Inc.  ("the  Company")  is  a  fully   integrated,
self-administered and self-managed real estate company that acquires and manages
research and  development  ("R&D")/office  properties  in the portion of the San
Francisco Bay Area commonly  referred to as Silicon  Valley.  In July 1998,  the
Company  purchased an approximate  12.11% of four existing limited  partnerships
(referred to collectively as the "operating  partnerships") and obtained control
of these partnerships by becoming the sole general partner in each one effective
July 1, 1998 for  financial  accounting  and  reporting  purposes.  The  Company
purchased an approximate 12.11% interest in each of the operating  partnerships.
All limited partnership  interests in the operating  partnerships were converted
into  59,479,633  operating  partnership  ("O.P.")  Units,  which  represented a
limited partnership  ownership interest of approximately 87.89% of the operating
partnerships.  The  operating  partnerships  are the vehicles  through which the
Company holds its real estate investments,  makes real estate acquisitions,  and
generally conducts its business.

As of December 31,  2007,  the Company owns a  controlling  general  partnership
interest of 19.94%, 21.78%, 16.26% and 12.48% in Mission West Properties,  L.P.,
Mission West Properties,  L.P. I, Mission West  Properties,  L.P. II and Mission
West  Properties,  L.P. III,  respectively,  for an 18.73%  general  partnership
interest in the  operating  partnerships,  taken as a whole,  on a  consolidated
weighted average basis.

The  Company,  through the  operating  partnerships,  owns  interests in 109 R&D
properties at December 31, 2007, all of which are located in the Silicon Valley.

BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company's  primary  business is the  ownership and  management of R&D/office
real estate with a  geographic  concentration  in the Silicon  Valley of the San
Francisco  Bay Area.  Accordingly,  the Company has concluded it currently has a
single  reportable  segment for  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards
("SFAS") 131 purposes.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The accompanying  consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of the
Company  and  its  controlled  subsidiaries,  the  operating  partnerships  (the
"Company").  All significant  intercompany  transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

The Company consolidates all variable interest entities in which it is deemed to
be the  primary  beneficiary  in  accordance  with  FASB  Interpretation  No. 46
(Revised  December 2003),  "Consolidation  of Variable  Interest  Entities"("FIN
46R").

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires  management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at the dates of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting  periods.  Accounting  and  disclosure  decisions  with respect to
material  transactions that are subject to significant  management  judgments or
estimates  include  impairment of long lived assets,  realizability  of deferred
rent  receivables,  and  allocation  of  purchase  price  relating  to  property
acquisitions and the related  depreciable  lives assigned.  Actual results could
differ materially from those estimates.

REAL ESTATE ASSETS AND RELATED INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Real  estate  assets  are  stated  at  cost.  Cost  includes   expenditures  for
improvements or replacements.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
incurred.

For purchases of real estate that were consummated  subsequent to June 30, 2001,
the effective date of SFAS 141,  "Business  Combinations," the fair value of the
real estate acquired is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of
land,  building and tenant  improvements,  and identified  intangible assets and
liabilities,  consisting of the value of above-market and  below-market  leases,
other value of in-place leases and value of tenant relationships,  based in each
case on their relative fair values.

The fair value of the tangible  assets of an acquired  property,  which includes
land, building and tenant improvements, is determined by valuing the property as
if it were  vacant,  and the  "as-if-vacant"  value is then  allocated  to land,
building and tenant  improvements  based on  management's  determination  of the
relative  fair values of these  assets.  Factors  considered  by  management  in
performing  these  analyses  include  certain costs during the lease-up  periods
considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. These
costs include estimates of lost rental revenue, leasing commissions,  and tenant
improvements.

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
                  (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets of the acquired
property,  above-market  in-place  lease value is recorded  based on the present
value, using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the lease
acquired,  of the  difference  between  (i) the  contractual  amounts to be paid
pursuant to the  in-place  lease and (ii)  management's  estimate of fair market
lease rate for the corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to
the remaining  non-cancelable  lease term. The  capitalized  above-market  lease
value,  included in real estate related  intangible  assets,  is amortized as an
offset to rental  revenue  from real  estate over the  remaining  non-cancelable
lease term. The value of in-place leases, exclusive of the value of above-market
in-place  lease,  is  amortized  to expense  over the  remaining  non-cancelable
periods of the respective  leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its
stated  expiration,  all  unamortized  amounts  relating  to that lease would be
written off in the period that the lease is terminated.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization are computed using the  straight-line  method over
estimated useful lives as follows:

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company reviews real estate assets for impairment whenever events or changes
in  circumstances  indicate  that the  carrying  amount  of an asset  may not be
recoverable  in accordance  with SFAS 144,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment and
Disposal of Long-Lived  Assets." If the carrying amount of the asset,  including
any  intangible  assets  associated  with  that  asset,  exceeds  its  estimated
undiscounted  net cash flow,  before  interest,  the Company  will  recognize an
impairment  loss equal to the  difference  between its  carrying  amount and its
estimated fair value. If impairment is recognized,  the reduced  carrying amount
of the asset will be accounted for as its new cost. For a depreciable asset, the
new cost will be depreciated over the asset's remaining useful life.  Generally,
fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow, replacement cost or market
comparison  analyses.  The analysis that the Company prepares in connection with
determining if there may be any asset  impairment  loss under SFAS 144 considers
several assumptions:  holding period of ten years, 36 months lease up period and
cap rate  ranging  from 8% to 9%.  The  process  of  evaluating  for  impairment
requires  estimates  as to future  events and  conditions,  which are subject to
varying market and economic factors, such as the vacancy rates, rental rates and
operating  costs for R&D  facilities  in the  Silicon  Valley  area and  related
submarkets.  Therefore,  it is  reasonably  possible  that a change in  estimate
resulting  from judgments as to future events could occur which would affect the
recorded  amounts of the property.  No  impairment  losses were recorded for the
years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In accordance  with SFAS 144, the results of  operations  and gains or losses on
the sale of  property  are  presented  as  discontinued  operations  if both the
following  criteria  are met: (a) the  operation  and cash flows of the property
have been (or will be) eliminated from the ongoing  operations of the Company as
a result of the  disposal  transaction;  and (b) the  Company  will not have any
significant  involvement  in the  operations of the property  after the disposal
transaction. SFAS 144 also requires prior period results of operations for these
properties  to  be  retrospectively   adjusted  and  presented  in  discontinued
operations in prior consolidated statements of operations.

An asset is generally  classified as held for sale once management has committed
to an action to sell the asset, the asset is available for immediate sale in its
present  condition  (subject to terms that are usual and  customary for sales of
such  assets),  an active  program to locate a buyer is  initiated,  the sale is
probable,  the  asset is being  actively  marketed  for sale at a price  that is
reasonable  in  relation  to its  current  fair value and  actions  required  to
complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that  significant  changes to the
plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.  Properties  for sale with
significant  contingencies  that  may  prevent  their  sale,  such as  obtaining
rezoning  approval  from the city,  are not  classified as assets held for sale.
Upon the  classification  of a real estate asset as held for sale,  the carrying
value of the asset is  reduced  to the  lower of its net book  value or its fair
value, less costs to sell the asset.  Subsequent to the classification of assets
as held for sale,  no further  depreciation  expense is  recorded.  Real  estate
assets  held for sale are stated  separately  on the  accompanying  consolidated
balance  sheets.  The operating  results of real estate assets held for sale and
sold are reported as discontinued  operations in the  accompanying  consolidated
statements  of  operations.   The  income/(loss)  from  discontinued  operations
includes the revenues and expenses, including depreciation,  associated with the
assets.  This  classification  of operating  results as discontinued  operations
applies  retroactively  for all periods  presented for assets designated as held
for sale.  Additionally,  gains and losses on assets designated as held for sale
are classified as part of discontinued operations.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The  Company  considers  highly  liquid  short-term   investments  with  initial
maturities  of  three  months  or less to be cash  equivalents.  Cash  and  cash
equivalents  are primarily  held in one or more financial  institutions,  and at
times,  such  balances  may  be in  excess  of  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance
Corporation insurance limit.

RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash totaled $65,509 as of December 31, 2007. Of this amount, $48,358
represents  a balance the Company  consolidated  due to its adoption of FIN 46R,
$15,651 represents proceeds received plus interest earned from the Northport and
Morse  property  sales held in a separate  cash  account at a trust  company for
future use in  tax-deferred  exchanges,  and the remaining  $1,500  represents a
certificate  of deposit  setup for a current loan  escrow.  The Company does not
possess or control  these  funds or have any  rights to receive  them  except as
provided  in  the  applicable  agreements.  Therefore,  restricted  cash  is not
available for distribution to stockholders.

OTHER ASSETS
Included in other assets are costs  associated with obtaining debt financing and
commissions  associated  with new leases.  Such debt  financing  costs are being
amortized  over the term of the associated  debt, by a method that  approximates
the  effective   interest  method  and  such  lease  commissions  are  amortized
straight-line  over the term of the related  lease.  If the lease is  terminated
prior  to the  end of the  lease  term,  the  Company  charges  any  unamortized
capitalized  lease  commission  cost to expense in the period  that the lease is
terminated. Also included in other assets are commitments from the Berg Group of
approximately  $7,494 to construct a building at 245 Caspian Drive in Sunnyvale,
California and $2,529 in tenant improvements at 5345 Hellyer Avenue in San Jose,
California (see Note 13 below).

MINORITY INTERESTS
Minority  interests in the operating  partnerships  represent the  proportionate
share of the  equity in the  operating  partnerships  of the  limited  partners.
Minority  interests in net income is  calculated by taking the net income of the
operating  partnerships  (on a stand-alone  basis)  multiplied by the respective
minority interests ownership percentage.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
Rental  income  is  derived  from   operating   leases  and  recognized  on  the
straight-line method of accounting required by GAAP under which contractual rent
payment  increases are  recognized  evenly over the lease term.  The  difference
between  recognized  rental  income and rental  cash  receipts  is  recorded  as
"Deferred rent  receivable" on the  consolidated  balance sheets.  Certain lease
agreements   contain   terms  that  provide  for   additional   rents  based  on
reimbursement   of  certain  costs  including   property   operating   expenses,
maintenance  and  real  estate  taxes.   These   additional  rents  from  tenant
reimbursements are reflected on the accrual basis.

Rental revenue is affected if existing tenants  terminate or amend their leases.
The Company tries to identify  tenants who may be likely to declare  bankruptcy,
cease  operations  or otherwise  terminate  leases prior to the end of the lease
term,  such as tenants who do not occupy all or a large  portion of the property
being leased.  By anticipating  these events in advance,  the Company expects to
take steps to  minimize  their  impact on its  reported  results  of  operations
through lease  renegotiations and other appropriate  measures.  Reserves against
"Deferred rent  receivable" are estimated by management based on known financial
conditions of tenants and  management's  estimate of net  realizability  of such
receivables  based on  existing  or  expected  negotiations  with  tenants.  The
Company's  judgments and estimations about tenants' capacity to continue to meet
their lease  obligations  will affect the rental  revenue  recognized.  To date,
actual reductions in revenue as a result of early  terminations and the tenants'
inability  to pay have been within  management's  estimates.  However,  material
differences may result in the amount and timing of the Company's  rental revenue
for any period if it made different judgments or estimations.

Lease  termination  fees are  recognized  in other income when there is a signed
termination  letter agreement,  all of the conditions of the agreement have been
met,  the  tenant  is no  longer  occupying  the  property  and the  termination
consideration is probable of collection. These fees are paid by tenants who want
to terminate their lease  obligations  before the end of the contractual term of
the lease by agreement with us. There is no way of predicting or forecasting the
timing or amounts of future lease termination fees.

The  Company  recognizes  income  from  rent,  tenant  reimbursements  and lease
termination fees and other income once all of the following  criteria are met in
accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, "Revenue Recognition":

-    the agreement has been fully executed and delivered;
-    services have been rendered;
-    the amount is fixed and determinable; and
-    the collectability is reasonably assured.

INCOME TAXES
The Company has been taxed as a real estate  investment trust ("REIT") under the
Internal  Revenue Code of 1986,  as amended,  (the "Code")  commencing  with the
taxable year ended  December 31, 1999.  In order for the Company to qualify as a
REIT, it must distribute  annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable  income,  as
defined  in  the  Code,  to its  stockholders  and  comply  with  certain  other
requirements. Accordingly, for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005,
no  provision  for federal  income taxes has been  included in the  accompanying
consolidated financial statements.

For the year ended  December 31, 2007,  the Company's  total  dividends  paid or
payable to the stockholders  represented  approximately  97% ordinary income, 2%
capital  gain and 1%  unrecaptured  section  1250 gain for income  tax  purposes
(unaudited). For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company's total dividends
paid or payable to the stockholders  represented 100% ordinary income for income
tax purposes  (unaudited).  For the year ended  December 31, 2005, the Company's
total  dividends paid or payable to the  stockholders  represented  89% ordinary
income and 11% return of capital for income tax purposes (unaudited).

NET INCOME PER SHARE
The computation of net income per share is based on the weighted  average number
of common  shares  outstanding  during the period.  Diluted  earnings  per share
amounts  are based upon the  weighted  average  of common and common  equivalent
shares outstanding during the year.

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123 (Revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment"
("SFAS  123R"),  which  addresses  the  accounting  for  employee,  director and
consultant stock options.  SFAS 123R requires that the cost of stock options, as
well as  other  equity-based  compensation  arrangements,  be  reflected  in the
consolidated  financial  statements  based on the  estimated  fair  value of the
awards.  SFAS  123R is an  amendment  to  SFAS  123  and  supersedes  Accounting
Principles  Board Opinion 25,  "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"  ("APB
25"). SFAS 123R is applicable to any award that is settled or measured in stock,
including stock options,  restricted stock,  stock  appreciation  rights,  stock
units,  and employee stock purchase  plans. As of December 31, 2007, the Company
had one stock-based  compensation plan. The Company has adopted the requirements
of SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006 using the modified  prospective method of
transition.  Accordingly,  prior periods have not been restated. The adoption of
this  standard  did not have a  material  effect on the  Company's  consolidated
results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

The Company  measures  compensation  cost for its stock options at fair value on
the date of grant and recognizes  compensation expense relating to the remaining
unvested  portion of outstanding  stock options at the time of adoption  ratably
over the vesting period,  generally four years.  The fair value of the Company's
stock  options is  determined  using the  Black-Scholes  option  pricing  model.
Compensation expense related to the Company's  share-based awards is included in
general and administrative  expenses in the Company's accompanying  consolidated
statements of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2007, under SFAS 123R,
the Company  recorded $629 of expense for share-based  compensation  relating to
stock options.

As of December 31, 2007, there was $495 of total unrecognized  compensation cost
related to unvested  share-based  compensation  arrangements  granted  under the
compensation   plan.   That  cost  is   expected   to  be   recognized   over  a
weighted-average period of three years.

For 2005 and all prior  years,  the  Company  had  elected  to follow APB 25 and
related interpretations in accounting for its employee and non-employee director
stock options. SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation," encourages,
but does not require,  companies  to record  compensation  cost for  stock-based
employee  compensation  plans at fair value prior to year 2006. Under APB 25, no
compensation  expense related to stock options had been  recognized  because the
exercise price of the granted options equaled the market price of the underlying
stock on the date of grant.  Although  the  Company had elected to follow APB 25
for previously  granted options prior to January 1, 2006, pro forma  information
regarding  net income and net income per share is  required by SFAS 123R for all
periods  presented prior to 2006. This information has been determined as if the
Company had  accounted  for stock options under the fair value method under SFAS
123.

The following  table  illustrates the unaudited pro forma effect on consolidated
net income available to common stockholders and consolidated  earnings per share
if the fair value method had been applied to all  outstanding and unvested stock
options for the year ended December 31, 2005.

In 2007,  stock options to purchase  710,000 shares of common stock were granted
to four  employees,  three  non-employee  directors  and four  consultants.  The
options  vest  monthly  for 48 months from date of grant,  subject to  continued
employment or other service to the Company.  Each option grant has a term of six
years from the date of grant subject to earlier  termination  in certain  events
related to termination  of  employment.  The options were granted at an exercise
price of $12.09 per share.  The estimated  fair value of the options  granted in
2007 was  $1.45 per share on the date of grant  using the  Black-Scholes  option
pricing  model  with  the  following  assumptions:   dividend  yield  of  5.29%,
volatility  of  18.94%,  risk free  rates of 4.53% and an  expected  life of six
years.  All options  were granted at the fair market value at the date of grant.
There were no stock options granted in 2006.

In 2005,  stock options to purchase  710,000 shares of common stock were granted
to four employees and three non-employee directors. The options vest monthly for
33 months from date of grant,  subject to continued  employment or other service
to the Company. Each option grant has a term of six years from the date of grant
subject to earlier  termination  in certain  events  related to  termination  of
employment.  The options were granted at an exercise  price of $10.00 per share.
The estimated  fair value of the options  granted in 2005 was $1.12 per share on
the  date of  grant  using  the  Black-Scholes  option  pricing  model  with the
following assumptions:  dividend yield of 6.40%, volatility of 21.97%, risk free
rates of 4.20% and an expected  life of six years.  All options  were granted at
the fair market value at the date of grant.

In April 2005, the Company's  Compensation  Committee of the Board of Directors,
in accordance with the provisions of the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, unanimously
approved the following awards of dividend equivalent rights ("DERs"),  each such
DER  representing the current right to receive the dividend paid on one share of
the Company's common stock, when paid by the Company:

-    The  three  non-employee   outside  directors  each  received  45,000  DERs
     effective as of the second quarter of 2005,  which will remain in effect as
     long as the individual continues to serve on the Board of Directors; and

-    Key employees of the Company  received a total of 155,000 DERs effective as
     of the  second  quarter of 2005,  which will  remain in effect for each key
     employee as long as he continues to be employed by the Company.

In April 2005, a total of 290,000 DERs were  awarded by the  Company's  Board of
Directors.  The Company recorded DER compensation expense of approximately $186,
$186 and $139 in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents,  accounts
receivable,  accounts payable,  and debt.  Considerable  judgment is required in
interpreting  market data to develop estimates of fair value.  Accordingly,  the
estimates  presented  herein are not necessarily  indicative of the amounts that
the Company could  realize in a current  market  exchange.  The use of different
market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on
the  estimated  fair  value  amounts.   Cash  and  cash  equivalents,   accounts
receivable,  and accounts payable are carried at amounts that approximate  their
fair values due to their short-term maturities. For fixed rate debt, the Company
estimates fair value by using  discounted  cash flow analyses based on borrowing
rates  for  similar  kinds of  borrowing  arrangements.  The  fair  value of the
Company's  fixed rate debt at December  31, 2007 was  approximately  $444,288 as
compared to its carrying value of $346,744.

RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts from prior year's  consolidated  financial  statements have been
reclassified to conform to the  presentation of the current year's  consolidated
financial statements.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company's properties are not geographically diverse, and its tenants operate
primarily in the  information  technology  industry.  Additionally,  because the
properties  are leased to 79 tenants at December 31, 2007,  default by any major
tenant could  significantly  impact the results of the  consolidated  total. One
tenant,  Microsoft  Corporation,  accounted for approximately  15.1%,  12.5% and
10.0% of the Company's cash rental income for the years ended December 31, 2007,
2006 and 2005,  respectively,  of total cash rental  income.  Cash rental income
from Microsoft Corporation was $12,288,  $11,728 and $10,089 for the years ended
December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005,  respectively.  Future minimum rents from this
tenant are $89,043.  One other tenant accounted for approximately  10.8%,  10.0%
and 8.9% of the Company's  cash rental  income for the years ended  December 31,
2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, of total cash rental income. During 2007, six
of the Company's tenants relocated or ceased operations.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2006, the FASB issued  Interpretation 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes" ("FIN 48").  FIN 48 clarifies the  accounting  for  uncertainty in
income taxes recognized in our financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109,
"Accounting  for Income  Taxes."  FIN 48  provides  guidance  on  derecognition,
classification,  interest and penalties,  and accounting in interim  periods and
requires  expanded  disclosure  with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes.
The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for the fiscal year beginning  January 1,
2007.  Based on the Company's  evaluation,  it has  concluded  that there are no
significant  uncertain  tax  positions  requiring  recognition  in its financial
statements.  The  adoption  of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 did not have a material
impact on the Company's  consolidated results of operations,  financial position
or cash flows.

In September  2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, "Fair Value  Measurements"  ("SFAS
157").  SFAS 157 defines fair value,  establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for the fiscal
year beginning  January 1, 2008.  The FASB has approved a one-year  deferral for
the  implementation of the Statement for non-financial  assets and non-financial
liabilities  that are  recognized  or disclosed  at fair value in the  financial
statements on a  nonrecurring  basis.  The Company is currently  evaluating  the
impact of the provisions of SFAS 157 and currently cannot estimate the impact to
its consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 provides companies with
an option to report  selected  financial  assets and  liabilities at fair value.
SFAS 159's  objective is to reduce both  complexity in accounting  for financial
instruments  and the volatility in earnings  caused by measuring  related assets
and  liabilities  differently.  SFAS 159 is effective for  financial  statements
issued for fiscal years  beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not
expect  the  implementation  of  SFAS  159 to  have  a  material  impact  on its
consolidated financial statements.

In December  2007,  the FASB issued  revised SFAS 141,  "Business  Combinations"
("SFAS 141R").  SFAS 141R will change the accounting for business  combinations.
Under SFAS 141R,  an  acquiring  entity will be required  to  recognize  all the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition date
fair  value  with  limited  exceptions.  SFAS 141R will  change  the  accounting
treatment and disclosure for certain  specific items in a business  combination.
SFAS  141R  applies   prospectively  to  business  combinations  for  which  the
acquisition  date is on or after the  beginning  of the first  annual  reporting
period  beginning on or after  December 15, 2008.  Early adoption is prohibited.
The  Company  is  currently  evaluating  the  impact  SFAS 141R will have on its
consolidated financial statements.

In  December  2007,  the FASB  issued  SFAS 160,  "Noncontrolling  Interests  in
Consolidated   Financial  Statements"  ("SFAS  160").  SFAS  160  requires  that
noncontrolling   interests  be   presented   as  a  component  of   consolidated
stockholders'  equity,  eliminates  "minority interest accounting" such that the
amount  of net  income  attributable  to the  noncontrolling  interests  will be
presented as part of consolidated  net income on the  consolidated  statement of
operations and not as a separate  component of income and expenses.  SFAS 160 is
effective  for fiscal  years  beginning on or after  December  15,  2008.  Early
adoption is prohibited.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact SFAS 160
will have on its consolidated financial statements.

4.   STOCK TRANSACTIONS

As of December 31, 2007 and 2006,  $1,970 and $1,833 remained  outstanding under
notes  issued  in  connection  with  the  Company's   purchase  of  its  general
partnership  interests in 1998 (the "demand  notes"),  respectively.  The demand
notes which accrue interest at 7.25%,  along with the interest expense (interest
income to the operating  partnerships),  are eliminated in consolidation and are
not included in the corresponding  line items within the consolidated  financial
statements.  However, the interest income earned by the operating  partnerships,
which is interest  expense to the  Company,  in  connection  with this debt,  is
included in the calculation of minority interest as reported on the consolidated
statements of operations, thereby reducing the Company's net income by this same
amount. The Company and the operating partnerships have agreed to extend the due
date of the demand notes to September 30, 2009. At present,  the Company's  only
means for  repayment  of this debt is through  distributions  received  from the
operating  partnerships  in excess of the amount of  dividends to be paid to the
Company's stockholders or by raising additional equity capital.

The limited  partners  of the  operating  partnerships  have the right to tender
their O.P.  Units to the Company for shares of common stock or, at the Company's
election,  for cash. Each of the limited partners of the operating  partnerships
(other than Carl E. Berg and Clyde J. Berg) has the annual right to exercise put
rights and cause the operating partnerships to purchase a portion of the limited
partner's  O.P.  Units at a purchase  price based on the average market value of
the common stock for the 10-trading day period immediately preceding the date of
tender,  generally  limited to one-third of the aggregate  number of O.P.  Units
owned by each limited partner.  Upon the exercise of any such right by a limited
partner,  the Company will have the option to purchase the tendered  O.P.  Units
with  available  cash,  borrowed  funds or the  proceeds of an offering of newly
issued  shares of common stock.  These put rights are available  once a year. If
the total  purchase  price of the O.P.  Units  tendered  by all of the  eligible
limited  partners in one year exceeds $1 million,  the Company or the  operating
partnerships is entitled in its discretion to reduce  proportionately the number
of O.P.  Units to be acquired from each  tendering  limited  partner so that the
total purchase price does not exceed $1 million.

There were no stock option exercises in 2007.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, stock options to purchase 80,000 shares
of the  Company's  common  stock  were  exercised  at $8.25  per share and stock
options to purchase  32,900 shares of the Company's  common stock were exercised
at $10.00 per share. Total proceeds to the Company were approximately $989.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, stock options to purchase 40,000 shares
of the  Company's  common  stock  were  exercised  at $8.25  per share and stock
options to purchase  15,000 shares of the Company's  common stock were exercised
at $10.00 per share. Total proceeds to the Company were approximately $480.

In 2007, 2006 and 2005,  220,500,  881,896 and 296,600 O.P. Units were exchanged
for  220,500,  881,896  and  296,600  shares  of  the  Company's  common  stock,
respectively, under the terms of the Exchange Rights Agreement among the Company
and all limited partners of the operating partnerships.

5.   MINORITY INTERESTS

Minority  interests  represent the separate  private  ownership of the operating
partnerships,  by the Berg Group and other  non-affiliate  interests.  In total,
these interests  account for 81.27% and 81.77%,  on a weighted average basis, of
the  ownership  interests  in the real  estate  operations  of the Company as of
December 31, 2007 and 2006,  respectively.  Minority  interests in earnings have
been  calculated  by taking the net income of the operating  partnerships  (on a
stand-alone  basis) multiplied by the respective  minority  interests  ownership
percentage.

The operating  partnerships have ownership  interests of 83.33%, 75% and 50% and
act as the  managing  member  in  three  separate  joint  ventures,  which  were
established to hold  properties.  The operating  partnerships  control the joint
ventures,  and  accordingly,  these  joint  ventures  are  consolidated  in  the
Company's consolidated financial statements. The minority interests in the joint
ventures are  reflected as a component  of minority  interests of the  operating
partnerships. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, income

associated  with the minority  interests  held by the third parties of the three
consolidated joint ventures was $502, $499 and $479, respectively.

6.   REAL ESTATE

PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS
In March 2007,  the Company  acquired  approximately  50 acres of vacant land in
Morgan Hill,  California,  which could support  approximately  725,000  rentable
square  feet of space.  The land is  currently  zoned for  industrial  use and a
portion has the  potential to be rezoned for  residential  use. The  acquisition
price for this property was approximately  $25,543 and was funded from a portion
of the  proceeds  received  from the  Samaritan  property  sale (see below under
"Property  Dispositions"),  which were held by a third party and  classified  as
restricted cash as of December 31, 2006.

In April 2007, the Company  acquired  three  office/R&D  buildings  comprised of
approximately  149,000 rentable square feet at Montague  Expressway in Milpitas,
California for approximately  $15,351. The acquisition was funded from a portion
of the  proceeds  received  from the  Samaritan  property  sale (see below under
"Property  Dispositions"),  which were held by a third party. With the exception
of one lease,  the property was  purchased  without any long-term  tenants.  The
Company has  allocated  the purchase  price to land and building  based upon the
estimated  relative  fair values of such  assets.  There was no  purchase  price
allocation to lease intangible assets.

In April 2007, the Company acquired  approximately  five acres of vacant land in
Morgan Hill,  California,  which could  support  approximately  73,000  rentable
square  feet of space.  The land is  currently  zoned for  industrial  use.  The
acquisition price for this property was approximately $2,297 and was funded from
the remaining  proceeds  received  from the  Samaritan  property sale (see below
under "Property Dispositions"), which were held by a third party.

In September 2007, the Company acquired an approximately  99,000 rentable square
foot newly  constructed R&D building located at 5845 Hellyer Avenue in San Jose,
California  from the Berg Group under the Berg Land Holdings  Option  Agreement.
The total  acquisition price for this property was  approximately  $10,903.  The
Company  acquired this property by issuing  548,236 O.P. Units to the Berg Group
and $4,300 in cash,  which was paid in the fourth  quarter of 2007.  The Company
has allocated the purchase  price to land and building  based upon the estimated
relative  fair  values  of such  assets.  Since the  property  was  vacant  when
acquired, there was no purchase price allocation to lease intangible assets.

In March 2006, the Company acquired two fully leased office/R&D  properties with
approximately 95,700 rentable square feet located at 233 South Hillview Drive in
Milpitas,  California  from Sipex  Corporation in a tax-deferred  exchange under
section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The total  acquisition  price
for this  property  was  approximately  $13,411 and was funded from the proceeds
received  from the 800 Embedded Way  property  sale,  which were held by a third
party and  classified as restricted  cash as of December 31, 2005.  The purchase
price was allocated to long-lived assets and the value of an in-place lease. The
in-place  lease was  valued at fair  market  so there  was no  intangible  asset
allocated to  above-or-below  market lease value. The Company recorded $1,374 of
the purchase price as real estate related  intangible assets in the accompanying
consolidated  balance sheet for the value of an in-place  lease.  The intangible
assets are being amortized over the applicable remaining lease term.

In April 2006,  the Company  acquired a fully leased  office/R&D  property  with
approximately  42,100  rentable  square feet located at 1875  Charleston Road in
Mountain View, California by purchasing Mission West Charleston,  LLC, an entity
controlled  by Carl E.  Berg.  The total  acquisition  price for this  entity of
$2,615 was paid in cash.  The  property  is  subject  to a ground  lease with an
unrelated  party for the  underlying  land  that runs  through  June  2057.  The
purchase  price was allocated to long-lived  assets and the value of an in-place
lease.  The in-place  lease was valued at fair market so there was no intangible
asset allocated to above-or-below  market lease value. The Company recorded $745
of  the  purchase  price  as  real  estate  related  intangible  assets  in  the
accompanying  consolidated balance sheet for the value of an in-place lease. The
intangible assets are being amortized over the applicable remaining lease term.

The purchase price allocation for these property  acquisitions was determined in
accordance with the following principles under SFAS 141:

-    The fair  value of the  tangible  assets  of an  acquired  property,  which
     includes land, building and tenant  improvements,  is determined by valuing
     the property as if it were  vacant,  and the  "as-if-vacant"  value is then
     allocated to land,  building and tenant  improvements based on management's
     determination  of  the  relative  fair  values  of  these  assets.  Factors
     considered by management in performing these analyses include certain costs
     during the lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs
     to execute  similar  leases.  These costs include  estimates of lost rental
     revenue, leasing commissions and tenant improvements.

-    The  capitalized  in-place  lease  value,  included in real estate  related
     intangible  assets in the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets,  is
     amortized  to expense as  amortization  of real estate  over the  remaining
     non-cancelable  lease term. If a lease were to be  terminated  prior to its
     stated expiration,  all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be
     written off in the period that the lease is terminated.

PROPERTY DISPOSITIONS
In August  2007,  the  Company  disposed  of one R&D  property  located at 45700
Northport  Loop  in  Fremont,  California  consisting  of  approximately  39,000
rentable  square feet. A total net gain of  approximately  $1,699 was recognized
and classified as discontinued  operations,  net of minority  interests,  on the
total  sales  price  of  $7,742.  Proceeds  from  the sale  were  classified  as
restricted cash to be used in tax-deferred property exchanges as of December 31,
2007.

In September  2007,  the Company  disposed of one R&D  property  located at 1170
Morse  Avenue  in  Sunnyvale,  California  consisting  of  approximately  48,000
rentable  square feet. A total net gain of  approximately  $4,830 was recognized
and classified as discontinued  operations,  net of minority  interests,  on the
total  sales  price  of  $8,301.  Proceeds  from  the sale  were  classified  as
restricted cash to be used in tax-deferred property exchanges as of December 31,
2007.

In  October  2006,  the  Company  disposed  of three  vacant R&D  properties  at
2033-2243  Samaritan Drive in San Jose,  California  consisting of approximately
235,000  rentable  square  feet. A total net gain of  approximately  $18,102 was
recognized and classified as discontinued operations, net of minority interests,
on the total sales price of $43,271. These properties were subject to a contract
of sale  from an  unrelated  party  for the  purchase  of a total of  three  R&D
properties  located at Samaritan Drive that the Company signed on July 17, 2006.
Proceeds  from  the  sale  were  classified  as  restricted  cash  to be used in
tax-deferred property exchanges as of December 31, 2006.

BERG LAND HOLDINGS OPTION AGREEMENT
Under the terms of the Berg Land Holdings Option Agreement, the Company, through
the  operating  partnerships,  has the option to acquire any future R&D property
developed by the Berg Group on land currently owned or optioned, or acquired for
these purposes in the future,  directly or indirectly,  by Carl E. Berg or Clyde
J. Berg.  This  agreement  will expire on  December  31,  2010,  after which the
Company will no longer have the right to acquire  properties from the Berg Group
or the pre-determined  terms provided in that agreement.  At present,  there are
approximately 84 acres of Silicon Valley land, including land under development,
owned  directly or under 50% joint  venture  entities by certain  members of the
Berg  Group  that are  subject  to the  terms of the Berg Land  Holdings  Option
Agreement.  The owners of the future R&D property  developments  may obtain cash
or, at their  option,  O.P.  Units  valued at the average  closing  price of the
shares of common stock over the 30-trading-day  period preceding the acquisition
date.  To date,  the Company has completed 22  acquisitions  under the Berg Land
Holdings Option Agreement representing  approximately  2,133,000 rentable square
feet. The acquired properties cost approximately $218,707, for which the Company
issued 8,482,085 O.P Units and assumed debt of approximately  $122,342. Upon the
Company's  exercise  of an option to  purchase  any of the future  R&D  property
developments,  the  acquisition  price  will  equal  the  sum  of (a)  the  full
construction cost of the building; plus (b) 10% of the full construction cost of
the building;  plus (c) interest at LIBOR (London  Interbank  Offered Rate) plus
1.65% on the amount of the full construction cost of the building for the period
from the date funds were disbursed by the developer to the close of escrow; plus
(d) the original  acquisition cost of the parcel on which the improvements  will
be  constructed,  which  range from  $8.50 to $20.00  per  square  foot for land
currently  owned;  plus  (e)  10%  per  annum  of the  amount  of  the  original
acquisition cost of the parcel from the later of January 1, 1998 or the seller's
acquisition  date to the  close of  escrow;  minus (f) the  aggregate  principal
amount of all debt  encumbering  the acquired  property,  or a lesser  amount as
approved by the members of the Independent  Directors committee of the Company's
Board of Directors.  Generally,  the Company will not acquire any projects until
they are fully completed and leased.

No  estimate  can be given at this time as to the total  cost to the  Company to
acquire future  projects under the Berg Land Holdings Option  Agreement,  or the
timing as to when the Company  will acquire  such  projects.  In addition to any
projects  currently  under  development,  the  Company  has the right to acquire
future  developments  by the  Berg  Group on up to 84  additional  acres of land
currently  controlled by the Berg Group,  which could support  approximately 1.4
million  square feet of new  developments.  Under the Berg Land Holdings  Option
Agreement,  as long as the Berg Group ownership in the Company and the operating
partnerships  taken as a whole is at least  65%,  or until  December  31,  2010,
whichever  occurs  first,  the Company  also has an option to purchase  all land
acquired, directly or indirectly, by Carl E. Berg or Clyde J. Berg in the future
which has not been  improved  with  completed  buildings and which is zoned for,
intended for or appropriate for R&D, office and/or industrial development or use
in the states of California, Oregon, and Washington.

Although the Company has the right to acquire the new properties available to it
under the  terms of the Berg Land  Holdings  Option  Agreement,  there can be no
assurance that the Company  actually will consummate any intended  transactions.
Furthermore,  the

Company has not yet  determined  the means by which it would acquire and pay for
any such  properties or the impact of any of the  acquisitions  on its business,
results of operations, financial condition or available cash for distribution.

7.   VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

In December 2003,  the FASB issued FIN 46R.  Under FIN 46R, a variable  interest
entity ("VIE") must be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a
majority of the  entity's  expected  losses or entitled to receive a majority of
the entity's  expected  residual  returns or both. FIN 46R requires  disclosures
about variable  interest entities that a company is not required to consolidate,
but in which it has a significant variable interest.

Under FIN 46R,  for an entity to qualify  as a VIE one or more of the  following
three characteristics must exist:

1.   The equity  investment  at risk is not  sufficient  to permit the entity to
     finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support by
     any parties, including the equity holders.
2.   The  equity  investors  lack  one  or  more  of  the  following   essential
     characteristics of a controlling financial interest:
     a.   the direct or indirect  ability to make  decisions  about the entity's
          activities through voting or similar rights;
     b.   the obligation to absorb the expected loss of the entity;
     c.   the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or
3.   The equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their
     economic  interests,  and  the  activities  of the  entity  involve  or are
     conducted on behalf of an investor with a  disproportionately  small voting
     interest.

In August 2007, one of the Company's tenants, Ciena Corporation, entered into an
assignment of lease agreement with an unrelated party, M&M Real Estate Control &
Restructuring,  LLC ("M&M"), in connection with leases for approximately 445,000
rentable  square  feet  located  in San  Jose,  California.  As a result  of the
assignment,  M&M assumed all of Ciena's remaining obligations under these leases
and received a payment  from Ciena of $53,000,  of which $7,000 was reserved for
tenant  improvements.  At the same time, the Company  entered into a consent for
assignment of lease with both parties and a mutual release agreement with Ciena,
pursuant to which all of Ciena's obligations under these leases were effectively
transferred  to  M&M.  M&M  is  obligated  to  continue  to  perform  all of the
obligations  under the assumed Ciena leases and has the right to sublease any or
all of the 445,000  rentable  square feet vacated by Ciena for the  remainder of
the current lease term, which expires in 2011. Under the terms of the assignment
of  lease  agreement,   the  Company  will  receive  monthly  rent  payments  of
approximately $789 from July 2007 through June 2008, $818 from July 2008 through
June 2009,  $849 from July 2009 through  June 2010,  $881 from July 2010 through
June  2011 and $915  from  July  2011  through  December  2011.  Based  upon the
provisions  of FIN 46R,  the Company  determined  that M&M is a VIE. The Company
further determined that it is the primary  beneficiary of this VIE and therefore
has   consolidated   this  entity  for  financial   reporting   purposes.   Upon
consolidation,  the Company  recognized a gross lease termination fee of $46,000
in August 2007.

In March 2006, one of the Company's tenants,  JDS Uniphase  Corporation ("JDS"),
entered into an  assignment  of lease  agreement  with M&M, in  connection  with
leases for  approximately  252,000  rentable  square  feet  located in San Jose,
California  that  expired in November  2007 as a result of the  assignment.  M&M
assumed all of JDS's remaining obligations under these leases,  acquired certain
personal  property  of JDS  located on the  premises  and  received a payment of
approximately  $11,147. At the same time, the Company entered into a consent for
assignment of lease with both parties and a mutual  release  agreement with JDS,
pursuant  to  which  all  of the  JDS's  obligations  under  these  leases  were
effectively  transferred to M&M. M&M was obligated to continue to perform all of
the  obligations  under the assumed JDS leases and had the right to sublease any
or all of the 252,000  rentable  square feet vacated by JDS for the remainder of
the terms of the assigned  leases.  Under the terms of the  assignment  of lease
agreement, the Company received monthly rent payments of approximately $733 from
April 2006 through December 2006, $545 from January 2007 through August 2007 and
$330 from September 2007 through November 2007. Based upon the provisions of FIN
46R, the Company  determined that M&M is a VIE. The Company  further  determined
that it is the primary  beneficiary  of this VIE and therefore has  consolidated
this entity for financial  reporting purposes.  Upon consolidation,  the Company
recognized a gross lease termination fee of approximately $11,147 in March 2006.

Factors  considered  by  the  Company  in  determining  whether  M&M  should  be
considered a VIE for financial reporting purposes included the following:

-    No equity was contributed by the partners in the formation of M&M.
-    At present, the assigned leases are the only properties under management by
     M&M.

                                       59
<PAGE>
                          MISSION WEST PROPERTIES, INC.
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
                  (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

-    Because  M&M does not  have an  operating  history  that  demonstrates  its
     ability to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial
     support.
-    All  revenues,  other than interest  income,  are generated by M&M from the
     Company in the form of fees or commissions.

The Company remains at risk with respect to the assigned leases because if M&M's
operating expenses exceed its interest income,  fees and commissions there would
be insufficient  funds to meet the assigned lease obligation  without additional
financial support from equity holders or other parties.  The Company,  which had
released the original tenant from its obligations under the lease, would have to
absorb the  majority  of any loss,  making it the primary  beneficiary  of M&M's
activities.

8.   DEBT

(1)  Santa Clara Valley  National Bank ("SCVNB") was formerly known as Cupertino
     National  Bank.  Interest  rate for the SCVNB  line of credit is LIBOR plus
     1.75%.  SCVNB was acquired by Wells Fargo Bank and the Company  transferred
     its day-to-day  primary banking  relationship to Heritage Bank of Commerce.
     The SCVNB line of credit expired on December 22, 2007.

(2)  Mortgage notes payable generally  require monthly  installments of interest
     and  principal  ranging  from $177 to $840  over  various  terms  extending
     through the year 2025. The weighted average interest rate of mortgage notes
     payable was 5.85% and 5.84% at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

(3)  The Prudential  Insurance loan is payable in monthly  installments of $827,

     Northport  Loop in Fremont,  California and 1170 Morse Avenue in Sunnyvale,
     California, which were collateral properties under the Prudential Insurance
     loan.  Prudential  Insurance  has  agreed to release  these two  properties
     without delivery of substitute  properties  provided that the Company pay a
     fee of $20 and deposit a $1.5 million certificate of deposit in escrow with
     Prudential  Insurance for a full year. The Prudential loan contains certain
     customary  covenants as defined in the loan  agreement.  As of December 31,
     2007, the Company was in compliance with these loan covenants.

(4)  The  Northwestern  loan is payable in monthly  installments of $696,  which

     As of December  31,  2007,  the Company was in  compliance  with these loan
     covenants.

(5)  The Allianz  loans are  payable in monthly  installments  of $1,017,  which
     includes principal (based upon a 20-year amortization) and interest.  Costs
     and fees  incurred  with  obtaining  these loans  aggregated  approximately

INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVE
In 2005,  the Company  entered into a cash flow  interest  rate  derivative as a
means to hedge  exposure to an  increase  in interest  rates prior to securing a
loan commitment in connection  with a refinancing of certain  variable rate debt
to fixed rate long term mortgage debt. The Company  secured a 20 year fixed rate
mortgage loan  commitment for $125,000 at 5.22% annual  interest rate and closed
the derivative  contracts.  Since the interest rate derivative contracts did not
qualify as a designated  cash flow interest  rate hedge in accordance  with SFAS
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," the Company
recorded  an  interest  expense of $834 in 2005.  The Company did not obtain any
interest rate derivatives in 2006 or 2007.

9.   OPERATING PARTNERSHIP AND STOCKHOLDER DISTRIBUTIONS

Holders of the  Company's  common stock and O.P.  Units are entitled to dividend
distributions  as determined  and declared by the Company's  Board of Directors.
Under the Exchange Rights  Agreement  limited  partners have the right to tender
O.P.  Units to the Company,  and, at the Company's  election,  to receive common
stock on a one-for-one basis at then-current  market value, an equivalent amount
of cash,  or a  combination  of cash and common  stock in exchange  for the O.P.
Units  tendered,  subject to the 9% overall  ownership limit imposed on non-Berg
Group stockholders under the Company's charter document, or the overall 20% Berg
Group  ownership  limit,  as the case may be. O.P.  Unit holders are entitled to
vote when their  O.P.  Units are  converted  to shares of the  Company's  common
stock.  Once in each  12-month  period  beginning  each December 29, the limited
partners, other than Carl E. Berg and Clyde J. Berg, may exercise a put right to
sell their O.P.  Units to the  operating  partnerships  at a price  equal to the
average  market  price  of the  common  stock  for  the  10-trading  day  period
immediately  preceding the date of tender.  Upon any exercise of the put rights,
the Company will have the  opportunity  for a period of 15 days to elect to fund
the purchase of the O.P. Units and purchase additional general partner interests
in the operating  partnerships  for cash,  unless the purchase  price exceeds $1
million in the aggregate for all tendering limited partners,  in which case, the
operating  partnerships  or the Company will be entitled,  but not required,  to
reduce  proportionally  the  number  of O.P.  Units  to be  acquired  from  each
tendering  limited  partner so that the total purchase price is not more than $1
million.

During 2007,  the Company,  as general  partner of the  operating  partnerships,
declared  quarterly  dividends/distributions  aggregating $0.64 per common share
and O.P. Unit for total  dividends/distributions  of $67,152,  including $16,832
payable in January 2008. Total distributions attributable to O.P. Units owned by
various members of the Berg Group were $50,271.

10.  EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION AND RETIREMENT INVESTMENT PLANS

The Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan ("1997 Plan") was approved by the Company's
stockholders  on November  10,  1997.  On  November  24,  2004,  the 2004 Equity
Incentive  Plan ("2004  Plan") was approved by the  Company's  stockholders  and
replaced the 1997 Plan. The Company's board of directors  approved the 2004 Plan
in September 2004. No further options are available or will be granted under the
1997 Plan. In replacing the 1997 Plan, the 2004 Plan:

-    transferred up to 3,991,089  remaining  shares available for issuance under
     the Company's 1997 Plan and terminated the 1997 Plan for any new grants;
-    transferred  up to an  additional  767,000  shares  subject to  outstanding
     options  under the 1997 Plan if they expire  without  being  exercised,  of
     which 272,000 shares had been transferred as of December 31, 2007; and
-    includes the ability to grant  restricted  stock,  restricted  stock units,
     performance  units,  dividend  equivalent  rights,  and  other  stock-based
     compensation,  including O.P. Units of the Operating Partnerships,  as well
     as incentive and non-statutory stock options.

The 2004 Plan was  adopted so that the  Company  may attract and retain the high
quality  employees,  consultants and directors  necessary to build the Company's
infrastructure and to provide ongoing  incentives to the Company's  employees in
the form of options to purchase the  Company's  common stock by enabling them to
participate in the Company's success.

The 2004  Plan  provides  for the  granting  to  employees,  including  officers
(whether or not they are  directors) of  "incentive  stock  options"  within the
meaning  of  Section  422 of the Code,  and for the  granting  of  non-statutory
options to employees,  consultants  and directors of the Company.  2,843,089 and
3,553,089  shares of common  stock were  available  for  future  option or award
grants under the 2004 Plan as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

In 2007,  stock options to purchase  710,000 shares of common stock were granted
to four employees,  three  non-employee  directors and four  consultants,  which
options  vest  monthly  for 48 months from date of grant,  subject to  continued
employment or other service to the Company.  Each option grant has a term of six
years from the date of grant subject to earlier  termination  in certain  events
related to termination  of  employment.  The options were granted at an exercise
price of $12.09 per share. The estimated fair value of the options was $1.45 per
share on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following assumptions:  dividend yield of 5.29%, volatility of 18.94%, risk free
rates of 4.53% and an expected  life of six years.  All options  were granted at
the fair market value at the date of grant.

No options were granted in year 2006.

In 2005,  stock options to purchase  710,000 shares of common stock were granted
to four employees and three  non-employee  directors,  which vest monthly for 33
months from date of grant,  subject to continued  employment or other service to
the  Company.  Each option  grant has a term of six years from the date of grant
subject to earlier  termination  in certain  events  related to  termination  of
employment.  The options were granted at an exercise  price of $10.00 per share.
The estimated fair value of the options was $1.12 per share on the date of grant
using the  Black-Scholes  option  pricing model with the following  assumptions:
dividend yield of 6.40%,  volatility of 21.97%,  risk free rates of 4.20% and an
expected life of six years. All options were granted at the fair market value at
the date of grant.

The remaining  contractual  lives of unexercised  option grants range from April
2009 to January 2013.

The following  table shows the activity and detail for the 2004 Plan for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007.

None of the options  granted are  contingent  upon the attainment of performance
goals or  subject  to other  restrictions.  As of  December  31,  2007 and 2006,
"in-the-money" outstanding options to purchase zero and 779,596 shares of common
stock, respectively, were exercisable.

The 2004 Plan allows the  Company to grant to  employees  and  directors a wider
range of awards  than is  permitted  under the 1997 Plan,  including  restricted
stock,   stock  grants,   restricted  stock  units,   performance  units,  other
stock-based compensation, including O.P. Units exchangeable for shares of common
stock, and dividend  equivalent rights,  which will help the Company achieve its
goal of attracting, retaining and motivating its personnel which is necessary to
build the Company's  infrastructure,  achieve the Company's  business  goals and
enhance  stockholder  value.  No options or awards may be granted under the 2004
Plan after November 24, 2014.

Awards and options  granted under the 2004 Plan may be granted to any employees,
non-employee  directors or  consultants  of the Company and any  corporation  or
other entity affiliated with the Company,  including the Operating Partnerships.
Only employees of the Company or a corporate  subsidiary  may receive  incentive
stock options.  Options can be granted to non-employee directors and consultants
of the Company and to  employees  of the Company or a corporate  subsidiary.  No
individual  may  receive in any one  calendar  year  awards  covering  more than
500,000 of the total number of shares of stock.

The options  generally  are granted at the fair  market  value of the  Company's
common  shares at the date of grant,  vest over a four-to-six  year period,  are
exercisable upon vesting and expire  six-to-eight  years from the date of grant.
The exercise price for all incentive stock options under the 2004 Plan shall not
be less than the fair market value of the  underlying  common shares at the time
the option was granted.

Under the 2004 Plan,  each  non-employee  member of the board of  directors  who
became or  becomes a member of the board of the  directors  after  November  24,
2004,  the date on which the Plan was  approved by the  Company's  stockholders,
will receive  automatically  a grant of an option to purchase  50,000  shares of
common stock at an exercise  price equal to 100% of the fair market value of the
common  stock  at the  date  of  grant  of  such  option.  Such  options  become
exercisable  cumulatively with respect to 1/48th of the underlying shares on the
first day of each month following the date of grant. Generally, the options must
be exercised while the optionee  remains a director.  In addition,  the board of
directors may authorize annual option grants or awards to non-employee directors
in the board's  discretion as long as the number of shares or equivalent  number
of  underlying  shares of common stock in the case of certain  awards,  does not
exceed 50,000 per year. A disinterested majority of the board also may authorize
additional  options  and awards to a director  serving as a  Committee  chair or
providing  other  extraordinary  service  to the  Board.  The 2004 Plan  further
provides that upon an  acquisition  of the Company in which more than 50% of the
total voting power of the Company's outstanding

securities  is  transferred  to the acquirer or acquiring  parties,  options and
awards held by non-employee  directors will vest in full and become  exercisable
prior to their expiration.

The board of directors  may  terminate the 2004 Plan at any earlier time or make
modifications of the 2004 Plan as it deems advisable. Awards and options granted
at any time during the term of the 2004 Plan will not expire  solely  because of
the  termination of the 2004 Plan, and no amendment or  modification of the 2004
Plan shall affect the terms of any outstanding  award unless the board expressly
provides otherwise.  Termination or amendment of the 2004 Plan may not adversely
affect the rights of the recipient of an award  without his or her consent.  The
Compensation  Committee  of the  Board of  Directors  may amend the terms of any
option or award previously granted, but such amendment may not impair the rights
of the recipient without his or her consent.

A total of 4,263,089  shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the
2004 Plan, in addition to 375,000 shares subject to outstanding  options if they
expire  unexercised.  At no time may the number of shares issued  pursuant to or
subject to  outstanding  awards  granted under the 2004 Plan exceed this number,
subject to the  provisions  for  increase and  adjustment  set forth in the 2004
Plan. If any option or award expires,  terminates or is cancelled  without being
exercised in full, or any other award is forfeited,  the shares forfeited or not
purchased will be available for future grant of awards.

The Company has adopted an employee investment plan (the "Plan"),  under Section
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Employees who are at least 21 years old and
who have completed six months of eligibility  service may become participants in
the Plan.  Each  participant may make  contributions  to the Plan through salary
deferrals  in amounts  of at least 1% to a maximum  of 15% of the  participant's
compensation,  subject to certain  limitations  imposed by the Internal  Revenue
Code.  The  Company  contributes  an  amount  up to  15%  of  the  participant's
compensation,  based upon management's discretion. A participant's  contribution
to the Plan is 100% vested and non-forfeitable. A participant will become vested
in 100% of the Company's  contributions after two years of eligible service. For
the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company  recognized  $123,
$103 and $103 of expense for employer contributions made in connection with this
Plan, respectively.

11.  NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic  net  income  per  share  is  computed  by  dividing  net  income  by  the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net
income  per  share  is  computed   by   dividing   net  income  by  the  sum  of
weighted-average  number of common  shares  outstanding  for the period plus the
assumed exercise of all dilutive securities.

The  following  table  provides  a  reconciliation   of  net  income  to  common
stockholders  and the number of shares used in the  computations  of "basic" net
income per share to common  stockholders  and  "diluted" net income per share to
common stockholders.

common stock during the respective periods. The outstanding O.P. Units have been
excluded from the diluted net income per share  calculation as there would be no
effect on the diluted net income per share since the minority  interests'  share
of income  would also be added back to net income.  O.P.  Units  outstanding  at
December 31, 2007,  2006 and 2005 were  85,533,935,  85,206,199 and  86,088,095,
respectively.

12.  OTHER INCOME

Other income from continuing operations was approximately  $65,068,  $20,566 and
$4,590 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005,  respectively.  For
the year ended  December 31, 2007,  termination  fees,  prior tenant  bankruptcy
settlements,   management  fee  income,   interest   income,   security  deposit
forfeitures and miscellaneous income accounted for approximately  $57,515, $300,
$981,  $3,087,  $1,799 and $1,386,  respectively,  of other income. For the year
ended December 31, 2006, termination fees, prior tenant bankruptcy  settlements,
management  fee  income,  interest  income,  security  deposit  forfeitures  and
miscellaneous income accounted for approximately  $16,068, $183, $1,070, $2,344,
$104 and $797,  respectively,  of other income.  For the year ended December 31,
2005,  termination  fees, prior tenant  bankruptcy  settlements,  management fee
income,  interest income,  security deposit forfeitures and miscellaneous income
accounted  for   approximately   $2,407,   $108,  $935,  $567,  $455  and  $118,
respectively,  of other  income.  Management  fee is paid by the  tenant  to the
landlord for the administration and supervision of the property.

13.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Berg Group owned 77,902,384 and 77,392,648
O.P.  Units,  respectively,  of the total  85,533,935 and 85,206,199  O.P. Units
issued and outstanding,  respectively.  The Berg Group's interest in the Company
represents  74.1% and 74.0% of the  Company as of  December  31,  2007 and 2006,
respectively,  assuming  conversion of the O.P.  Units into common shares of the
Company.

The Company periodically acquires un-leased properties,  which include land, the
building  shell and base  building  improvements,  from the Berg Group under the
Berg Group Land Holdings Options  Agreement.  These  acquisitions  from the Berg
Group are made for  properties  where the Company has  previously  identified  a
tenant,  and in conjunction with the  acquisition,  the Company executes a lease
agreement  with the  tenant.  In many of the  acquisitions  from the Berg Group,
lease commissions  relating to these leasing activities conducted by the Company
are paid by the Berg Group and reimbursed by the Company in connection  with the
acquisition.  These lease commissions are recorded  separately in "Other assets"
on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

PROPERTY ACQUISITION
In September 2007, the Company acquired an approximately  99,000 rentable square
foot newly  constructed R&D building located at 5845 Hellyer Avenue in San Jose,
California  from the Berg Group under the Berg Land Holdings  Option  Agreement.
The total  acquisition price for this property was  approximately  $10,903.  The
Company  acquired this property by issuing  548,236 O.P. Units and paying $4,300
in cash to the selling  members of the Berg Group.  The transaction was approved
by the Independent Directors Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.

In April 2006,  the Company  acquired a fully leased  office/R&D  property  with
approximately  42,100  rentable  square feet located at 1875  Charleston Road in
Mountain View, California by purchasing Mission West Charleston,  LLC, an entity
controlled by Carl E. Berg for $2,615. The property is subject to a ground lease
with an unrelated party for the underlying land that runs through June 2057. The
acquisition  was paid in cash. The  transaction  was approved by the Independent
Directors Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.

DEBT WITH THE BERG GROUP
As of  December  31,  2007 and 2006,  debt in the amount of $9,224  and  $9,654,
respectively,  was due the Berg Group under a mortgage note  established May 15,
2000 in  connection  with the  acquisition  of a 50% interest in Hellyer  Avenue
Limited  Partnership,  the obligor  under the mortgage  note.  The mortgage note
bears  interest  at  7.65%,  and is due in ten  years  with  principal  payments
amortized over 20 years.  Interest  expense incurred in connection with the Berg
Group  mortgage  note was $724,  $755 and $784 for the years ended  December 31,
2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The Berg Group line of credit was originally  scheduled to mature in March 2006,
but through  mutual  agreement it was  terminated in October 2005 by the Company
and the Berg Group.  For the year ended  December  31,  2005,  interest  expense
incurred in connection with the Berg Group line of credit was $188.

TRANSFER OF INTEREST TO BERG GROUP IN CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE
In July 2000, the Hellyer Avenue Limited Partnership ("Hellyer LP") was formally
organized as a California limited  partnership  between Mission West Properties,
L.P. ("MWP"), of which the Company as the managing general partner, and Republic
Properties  Corporation ("RPC"), an unaffiliated third party, as general partner
and limited  partners.  MWP was  designated as the managing  general  partner of
Hellyer  LP. For a 50%  ownership  interest  in Hellyer  LP, RPC agreed to cause
Stellex  Microwave  Systems,  Inc.  ("Stellex")  to  provide a 15-year  lease on
approximately 160,000 square foot R&D buildings to be constructed by Berg & Berg
Enterprises, Inc. ("BBE") on land owned by another Berg Group member.

As part of the  transaction,  MWP acquired the  underlying  land pursuant to the
Berg Land  Holdings  Option  Agreement  for a price of $5.7  million  by issuing
659,223 O.P.  Units to the Berg Group entity that owned the  property.  Further,
under the terms of the Hellyer LP partnership agreement MWP then contributed the
land to the partnership at an agreed value of $9.6 million,  which amount was to
be  amortized  and paid to MWP in the form of income and cash flow  preferences.
The transaction was reviewed and approved by the Independent Directors Committee
of the Company's Board of Directors.

In connection with the  transaction,  BBE built and paid for all improvements on
the land.  The total cost of the R&D  buildings,  exclusive of specified  tenant
improvements  obligations,  was approximately $11.4 million. Hellyer LP issued a
note for the amount of those  construction  costs to BBE, which note was secured
by the buildings.

Because RPC's interest in Hellyer LP was  attributable  solely to its commitment
to obtain  Stellex  as a tenant  for the  property,  the  partnership  agreement
provided that if a payment  default  occurred within the first five years of the
Stellex lease, RPC would lose 100% of its interest in the partnership,  and if a
payment default occurred during the second five year period under the lease, RPC
would lose 50% of its interest in Hellyer LP.

Pursuant to RPC's  commitment to Hellyer LP, Stellex  executed a lease agreement
obligating  Stellex,  among other things,  to pay monthly rent starting at $1.60
per square foot on a triple net basis for 15 years and to reimburse  BBE for the
tenant improvement  obligations,  which ultimately totaled  approximately  $10.5
million.

Under the lease terms,  Stellex was  obligated to reimburse  BBE in full for the
tenant  improvement costs no later than August 25, 2000. Several days before the
due  date,  representatives  of  Stellex  met  with  representatives  of MWP and
informed them that Stellex could not pay the balance due BBE. Stellex  requested
MWP  immediately to draw down the letter of credit as a result of default on the
tenant improvement payment required under the lease.

On  September  1, 2000,  MWP, as the general  partner of Hellyer LP,  ceased all
allocations  of income and cash flow to RPC and  exercised  the right  under the
partnership  agreement  to cancel  RPC's  entire  interest  in the  partnership.
Following  discussions with and approval by the Independent Directors Committee,
the Company  authorized  the  transfer  of RPC's  interest in Hellyer LP to BBE.
Under the Berg Land  Holdings  Option  Agreement and the  Acquisition  Agreement
dated as of May 14, 1998, the  Independent  Directors  Committee of the Board of
Directors had the right,  but not the obligation,  to reacquire on behalf of the
Company  the  property  interest  and the related  distributions  related to the
property  interest at any time.  The transfer  was  effective as of September 1,
2000.

In January 2002,  Stellex was acquired  through its  bankruptcy  proceeding by a
division of Tyco Corporation. In connection with the acquisition of Stellex, the
purchaser  assumed the lease with Hellyer LP, agreed to comply with all terms of
lease and  reimbursed  BBE for the tenant  improvements,  as required  under the
lease agreement and the Bankruptcy Court order.

Since the inception of Hellyer LP, the Company has accounted for the  properties
owned by the  partnership  on a  consolidated  basis,  with  reductions  for the
minority interest held by the minority partner (first RPC and then BBE). In each
period,  the Company has accrued  amounts  payable by Hellyer LP to the minority
interest  partner,  including  BBE prior to  payment.  BBE's  share of  earnings
allocated to its 50% minority  interest was $0.7 million,  $0.8 million and $0.7
million  in  2007,  2006  and  2005,  respectively.  As of  December  31,  2007,
accumulated cash flow distributions from Hellyer LP totaling  approximately $4.4
million were accrued and  distributed to BBE. If the Company's  litigation  with
RPC (as described under Note 16 below) is ultimately decided in RPC's favor, the
Company  anticipates that BBE may be required to return RPC's former interest in
Hellyer LP and all prior  distributions to RPC. As a result of this uncertainty,
in  October  2003,  the  Company  recorded  such  distributions  as  an  account
receivable  from BBE,  which is  included  in "Other  assets"  on the  Company's
consolidated balance sheets, with an offsetting account payable to BBE.

If the litigation is ultimately decided in favor of the Company, the Independent
Directors  Committee  of the  Board  of  Directors  has the  right,  but not the
obligation,  to acquire on behalf of the  Company  the former RPC  interest  and
related  distributions from BBE under the terms of the Berg Land Holdings Option
Agreement and the Acquisition Agreement between the Company and the Berg Group.

ACQUISITION OF CARL E. BERG'S INTEREST IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE
In July 1999,  TBI, an  unrelated  party,  advised  Carl E. Berg that TBI had an
option to purchase  approximately  78.89 acres of unimproved  land zoned for R&D
development  in  Morgan  Hill at $2.50 per  square  foot  that  would  expire in
approximately six months. TBI offered Mr. Berg a 50% interest in the development
of this land if Mr. Berg provided 100% financing for the land at 0% interest for
three years. Mr. Berg advised TBI of his obligation to offer all R&D development
opportunities  on the West Coast to the Company and further advised TBI that the
Company's  Independent  Directors  Committee must approve the acquisition of any
properties and that the Company's policy was only to acquire properties that are
leased  pursuant to the Berg Land Holdings  Option  Agreement.  The  development
joint venture between TBI and the Berg Group  proceeded on that basis.  Building
construction was financed through loans  facilitated by the Berg Group. In early
2003,  TBI formed  TBI-MWP,  a new  limited  partnership,  to own all the leased
buildings.  The Berg Group offered its 50%  non-controlling  limited partnership
interest in TBI-MWP to the Company at cost plus an annual interest rate of 7% on
the funds  advanced  by the Berg  Group  which  amounted  to $1.8  million.  The
Independent  Directors  Committee and the Berg Group agreed to use a 7% interest
rate  instead of the rate and fees  specified in the Berg Land  Holdings  Option
Agreement  because the  transaction  differed  from the  standard  build-to-suit
development  specified  under that  agreement.  TBI-MWP  owned four fully leased
buildings  totaling  approximately  593,000  rentable square feet. The buildings
were subject to mortgage loans totaling $53.6 million. The Independent Directors
Committee approved the Company's acquisition of the Berg Group's 50% interest in
the joint  venture  effective  January 1, 2003.  The  development  joint venture
between the Berg Group and TBI retained two vacant shell R&D  buildings and five
unimproved  lots. In April 2003,  Comcast,  Inc.  offered to purchase one of the
vacant  buildings  and two acres of adjoining  land from the  development  joint
venture for net proceeds of $2.8 million, after debt repayment. Prior to sale of
the property,  TBI-MWP  acquired this property at no cost under the terms of the
Berg Land Holdings Option Agreement, and the Company received a net distribution
of $1.4 million from the sale. The  transaction  was approved by the Independent
Directors  Committee.  The Berg Group  continues  to own a 50%  interest  in the
remaining vacant building and five unimproved  lots. In July 2006,  TBI-MWP sold
one  R&D  property  with   approximately   126,400   rentable  square  feet  for
approximately $8,450. The total gain on the sale was approximately $876 of which
$438  was the  Company's  share.  TBI-MWP  currently  owns  three  fully  leased
buildings totaling approximately 466,600 rentable square feet.

BERG CONTROLLED  ENTITIES HAVE FINANCIAL INTERESTS IN CERTAIN TENANTS THAT LEASE
SPACE FROM THE COMPANY
During  the years  ended  December  31,  2007,  2006 and  2005,  Carl E. Berg or
entities  controlled by Mr. Berg held financial  interests in several  companies
that lease space from the operating partnerships,  which include companies where
Mr.  Berg has a greater  than 10%  ownership  interest.  These  related  tenants
contributed  $1,227,  $1,875 and $731 in rental revenue in 2007,  2006 and 2005,
respectively.  Under the Company's Charter,  bylaws and agreements with the Berg
Group,  the individual  members of the Berg Group are prohibited  from acquiring
shares of the Company's common stock if such  acquisition  would result in their
beneficial  ownership  percentage  of the  Company's  common  stock  causing the
Company to violate any REIT qualification requirement, and currently their share
ownership is below a level at which rent from related  tenants would be excluded
in determining compliance with REIT qualification tests.

BERG GROUP COMMITMENT TO COMPLETE FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS AND BUILDING IN CONNECTION
WITH  CERTAIN  ACQUISITIONS  FROM THE BERG  GROUP  UNDER THE BERG LAND  HOLDINGS
OPTION AGREEMENT
The Berg Group has an approximately $2,529 commitment to complete certain tenant
improvements in connection  with the Company's 2002  acquisition of 5345 Hellyer
Avenue in San  Jose,  California.  The  Company  recorded  this  portion  of its
purchase  consideration  paid to the Berg  Group  as an  "Other  assets"  on its
consolidated balance sheets. The Berg Group is in the process of satisfying this
commitment to complete certain tenant improvements.

The  Berg  Group  has  an  approximately   $7,494   commitment  to  complete  an
approximately  75,000 to 90,000  square  foot  building in  connection  with the
Company's 2001  acquisition of 245 Caspian Drive in Sunnyvale,  California which
is  comprised  of  approximately  three acres of  unimproved  land.  The Company
recorded this portion of its purchase consideration paid to the Berg Group as an
"Other  assets" on its  consolidated  balance  sheets.  The Berg Group  plans to
satisfy this  commitment to construct a building  when  requested by the Company
following the approval of the Independent Directors Committee.

LAND LEASE RENT REIMBURSEMENT TO CARL E. BERG
One tenant was leasing four R&D buildings  from the Company and was also leasing
raw land from Carl E. Berg.  Total rent from the tenant was paid directly to the
Company,  which included the land rent. The Company  reimbursed Carl E. Berg $85
per month for the land rent. That tenant  terminated its lease  obligations with
the  Company  effective  July 1,  2007,  and the  Company  acquired  the land in
connection  with a completed  99,000  rentable  square feet shell  building (see
"Property  Acquisitions"  above  under Note 6) and after July 1, 2007 no further
rent was paid to Carl E. Berg.

BERG GROUP HIRED TO PERFORM RESTORATIONS
In March  2006,  the  Company and  Fujitsu  Limited,  or Fujitsu,  agreed to the
termination  of a lease for one building  consisting  of  approximately  125,000
rentable  square feet.  Fujitsu was  responsible  for  repairing  damages to the
building and with the Company's  Independent  Directors Committee approval hired
Berg &  Berg  Enterprises  to  perform  the  restoration  work  for a  total  of
approximately $4,500, which was completed in 2007.

LEASING AND OVERHEAD REIMBURSEMENTS PROVIDED BY BERG CONTROLLED ENTITY
The Company  currently  leases office space owned by Berg & Berg Enterprises for
the Company's  headquarters.  Rental amount and overhead  reimbursements paid to
Berg & Berg Enterprises, Inc. were $95, $90 and $90 for the years ended December
31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.

14.  FUTURE MINIMUM RENTS

The  Company,  through the  operating  partnerships,  owns  interests in 109 R&D
properties  that are leased to tenants under net  operating  leases with initial
terms extending to the year 2020, and are typically  subject to fixed increases.
Generally,  the leases grant tenants  renewal  options.  Future minimum  rentals
under non-cancelable  operating leases as of December 31, 2007, excluding tenant
reimbursements of expenses, are as follows:

16.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company and the operating  partnerships,  from time to time,  are parties to
litigation  arising  out of the  normal  course  of  business.  The  Company  is
currently involved in the following legal proceedings,  and does not believe the
ultimate outcome of any of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect
on its financial condition or operating results.

MISSION WEST PROPERTIES,  L.P. V. REPUBLIC PROPERTIES CORPORATION,  ET AL. SANTA
CLARA COUNTY  SUPERIOR  COURT,  CASE NO. CV 796249.  In February  2001,  while a
related case in Maryland was pending,  the Company filed a suit against Republic
Properties  Corporation ("RPC") in the Superior Court of the State of California
for the County of Santa Clara,  Case No. CV 796249.  The case was stayed pending
resolution of the Maryland case, and the Company  dismissed its suit on March 4,
2005.  In April  2005,  RPC  submitted  a motion  asking the  Superior  Court to
reinstate the case,  which the Court granted on May 25, 2005. In April 2006, the
Maryland  case  was  dismissed  by the  highest  court in  Maryland  for lack of
personal jurisdiction.  On July 5, 2006, RPC filed a cross-complaint in the case
seeking  partnership  distributions  to which the  Company  demurred.  The Court
sustained the Company's demurrer with leave to

amend.  Subsequently,  RPC filed an amended  complaint and the Company submitted
another  demurrer  seeking  dismissal  of the claims on  statute of  limitations
grounds. On February 20, 2007, the Court overruled the Company's  demurrer.  The
Company  sought a writ from the  California  State Court of Appeal for the Sixth
District to direct the lower court to reverse its decision, but the petition for
the writ was denied.  A trial in the California  Superior Court will commence in
early 2008.

GUARANTEES
Under its  articles  of  incorporation  and  bylaws,  the  Company has agreed to
indemnify its officers and directors for certain events or  occurrences  arising
as a result of the officer or director's  serving in such capacity.  The maximum
potential  amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under
these  indemnification   agreements  is  unlimited.  The  Company  believes  the
estimated  fair value of these  indemnification  agreements  is minimal  and has
recorded no liabilities for these agreements as of December 31, 2007.

The Company also enters into  indemnification  provisions  under its  agreements
with other companies in its ordinary course of business, typically with lenders,
joint venture  partners,  contractors,  and tenants.  Under these provisions the
Company  typically  agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified  party
for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified  party as a result of certain
kinds  of  activities  or  inactions  of  the  Company.   These  indemnification
provisions  generally  survive  termination  of the  underlying  agreement.  The
maximum  potential  amount of future  payments the Company  could be required to
make under these  indemnification  provisions is unlimited.  The Company has not
incurred  material  costs to defend  lawsuits or settle claims  related to these
indemnification agreements. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair
value of these agreements is minimal.  Accordingly,  the Company has recorded no
liabilities for these agreements as of December 31, 2007.

SEISMIC ACTIVITY
The  Company's  properties  are  located  in an active  seismic  area of Silicon
Valley.  Insurance  policies  currently  maintained  by the Company do not cover
seismic activity, although they do cover losses from fires after an earthquake.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
The  environmental  investigations  that have been  conducted  on the  Company's
properties have not revealed any environmental  liability that it believes would
have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations
and assets, and the Company is not aware of any such liability.  Nonetheless, it
is  possible  that there are  material  environmental  liabilities  of which the
Company is unaware. The Company cannot assure you that future laws,  ordinances,
or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability, or that the
current environmental  condition of the properties has not been, or will not be,
affected  by tenants  and  occupants  of the  properties,  by the  condition  of
properties in the vicinity of the properties,  or by third parties  unrelated to
the Company.

ASSET DISPOSITION SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CONDITIONS
The Company has entered into a sales agreement with unrelated parties subject to
numerous  material  conditions,  including  but not limited to  re-zoning of the
property  and  negotiating   certain  agreements  with  the  local  municipality
acceptable to the buyer. As a result of the conditions  agreed to by the Company
and the  respective  buyers,  these assets do not meet the criteria set forth in
SFAS 144 to be classified as assets held for sale. The following  summarizes the
assets for which the Company has  executed a sales  contract as of December  31,
2007 that are subject to material conditions as previously described:

</TABLE>

17.  REAL ESTATE ASSET HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Company follows SFAS 144, which addresses financial accounting and reporting
for the impairment and disposal of long lived assets. In general, income or loss
attributable  to the operations and sale of property and the operations  related
to property  held for sale are  classified  as  discontinued  operations  in the
consolidated  statements of operations.  Prior period consolidated statements of
operations presented in this report have been reclassified to reflect the income
or loss related to  properties  that were held for sale or sold and presented as
discontinued  operations for the years ended  December 31, 2007,  2006 and 2005.
Additionally,  all periods  presented in this report will likely require further
reclassification in future periods if additional properties are held for sale or
property sales occur.

As of December 31, 2007,  there were no properties  under contract to be sold or
otherwise disposed of which would qualify as assets held for sale.

There was one R&D property  under  contract to be sold or otherwise  disposed of
which did qualify as an asset held for sale as of December  31,  2004.  Based on
the expected net proceeds of the sale of that property,  the Company recorded an
asset impairment charge of ($2,193) in 2004. The property was sold for $8,500 in
January  2005.  The Company  decided to sell the property  after an  unsolicited
offer was made from an unrelated third party.

In 2005,  the  Company  sold three R&D  properties  for a total  sales  price of
$27,855  (including  the one sold in January  2005)  resulting  in a net gain of
$2,206.  In 2006,  the Company sold three R&D properties for a total sales price
of $43,271 resulting in a net gain of $18,102. In 2007, the Company sold two R&D
properties  for a total  sales  price  of  $16,043  resulting  in a net  gain of
$6,529.Results  of operations for these  properties for the years ended December
31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:

18.  PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS

In March 2007,  the Company  acquired  approximately  50 acres of vacant land in
Morgan Hill,  California for approximately  $25,543 from an unrelated party in a
tax-deferred  exchange  transaction.  The entire purchase price was allocated to
land.

In April 2007,  the Company  acquired  three  R&D/office  properties at Montague
Expressway in Milpitas,  California for approximately  $15,351 from an unrelated
party in a tax-deferred exchange  transaction.  With the exception of one lease,
the property was purchased without any long-term tenants. The purchase price was
allocated to land and building based upon the estimated  relative fair values of
such assets.  There was no purchase price allocation to lease intangible  assets
due to vacant buildings and short-term leases of one to two months.

In April 2007, the Company acquired  approximately  five acres of vacant land in
Morgan Hill,  California for  approximately  $2,297 from an unrelated party in a
tax-deferred  exchange  transaction.  The entire purchase price was allocated to
land.

In September 2007, the Company acquired an approximately  99,000 rentable square
foot newly  constructed R&D building located at 5845 Hellyer Avenue in San Jose,
California from the Berg Group under the Berg Land Holdings Option Agreement for
approximately  $10,903.  The purchase  price was  allocated to land and building
based upon the estimated relative fair values of such assets. Since the property
was acquired vacant,  there was no purchase price allocation to lease intangible
assets.

ITEM 9.  CHANGES  IN  AND  DISAGREEMENTS  WITH  ACCOUNTANTS  ON  ACCOUNTING  AND
     FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As  required  by SEC Rule  13a-15(b)  we  conducted  an  evaluation,  under  the
supervision and with the  participation  of our management,  including our Chief
Executive Officer, President and Vice President of Finance, of the effectiveness
of the design and  operation  of our  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  (as
defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule  15d-15(f) of the  Securities  Exchange Act of
1934). Based upon that evaluation,  the Chief Executive  Officer,  President and
Vice President of Finance  concluded that as of December 31, 2007 our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective such that the information  required to be
disclosed in our reports filed with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission is
recorded,  processed,  summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the SEC's rules and forms such information is accumulated and communicated to
our  management,  including  our Chief  Executive  Officer,  President  and Vice
President of Finance,  as appropriate,  to allow for timely decisions  regarding
required disclosure.

(b)  Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of Mission West Properties,  Inc. is responsible for establishing and
maintaining  adequate  internal  control over financial  reporting as defined in
Rules  13a-15(f)  and  15d-15(f)  under  the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934.
Management  assessed  the  effectiveness  of  Mission  West  Properties,  Inc.'s
internal  control over financial  reporting as of December 31, 2007.  Management
based this  assessment  on the  criteria  for  effective  internal  control over
financial  reporting  established  in Internal  Control -  Integrated  Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring  Organizations of the Treadway  Commission
(COSO).  Management's assessment included an evaluation of the design of Mission
West Properties, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting and testing of
the operational  effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting.
Management  reviewed the results of its assessment  with the Audit  Committee of
the Board of Directors.  Based on this  assessment,  management  determined that
Mission  West  Properties,  Inc.  maintained  effective  internal  control  over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2007.

Because of its inherent  limitations,  internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect the possibility of human error,  misstatements and the
circumvention or overriding of controls.  Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate  because of changes in  conditions,  or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Burr,  Pilger & Mayer,  LLP, our independent  registered public accounting firm,
has audited our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report
on Form  10-K and has  issued  a report  on the  effectiveness  of our  internal
control over financial reporting.

(c)  Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial  reporting during the
fourth fiscal  quarter of 2007 that has  materially  affected,  or is reasonably
likely to material affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B.  OTHER INFORMATION

As of December 31, 2007,  we have ceased all efforts  previously  interested  to
effect an acquisition of the Company with all previously interested parties.
