Organization, Properties, Basis of Presentation, Financial Instruments and Recent Accounting Standards | Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) ​ 1.  Organization, Properties, Basis of Presentation, Financial Instruments and Recent Accounting Standards ​ Organization ​ Franklin Street Properties Corp. (“FSP Corp.” or the “Company”) holds, directly and indirectly, 100% of the interest in FSP Investments LLC, FSP Property Management LLC, FSP Holdings LLC and FSP Protective TRS Corp. FSP Property Management LLC provides asset management and property management services. The Company also has a non-controlling common stock interest in the corporation that is the sole member of FSP Monument Circle LLC, which corporation was organized to operate as a real estate investment trust (“Monument Circle” or the “Sponsored REIT”). ​ As of September 30, 2025, the Company owned and operated a portfolio of real estate consisting of 14 operating properties. The Company may pursue, on a selective basis, the sale of its properties in order to take advantage of the value creation and demand for its properties, for geographic, property specific reasons or for other general corporate purposes. ​ Properties ​ The following table summarizes the Company’s number of owned and consolidated properties and rentable square feet of real estate. ​

Owned and Consolidated Properties: | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Number of properties (1) |  | 14 |  | 16 | ​
Rentable square feet |  | 4,807,663 |  | 5,180,158 | ​
​ (1) Includes one property that was classified as an asset held for sale as of September 30, 2024. ​ Basis of Presentation ​ The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company include all of the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. ​ The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited; however, the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any other period. ​ Liquidity and Management’s Plan ​ As of October 28, 2025, the Company had aggregate outstanding indebtedness under three unsecured loans, the BofA Term Loan, the BMO Term Loan and the Senior Notes (each as defined and described in Note 2 below), totaling approximately $248.9 million and maturing on April 1, 2026, which is within 12 months of the date of issuance of the financial statements accompanying this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. ​ Management intends to engage in discussions with the Company’s lenders and/or third party financing sources to extend or refinance the Company’s existing debt and the Company also may seek to effect asset sales or other potential transactions to repay such debt prior to the applicable maturity dates. Management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will be successful in extending the maturity date or refinancing all of its existing debt, or in effecting asset sales or other potential transactions prior to the applicable maturity dates. Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements— Going Concern”, requires management to consider whether there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as a result of uncertainty about the maturity of the Company’s debt on April 1, 2026. Although management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to extend the maturity date or retire the existing debt through a refinancing, asset sales or other potential transactions, guidance issued under ASC 205-40 requires that management not conclude that such an outcome is “probable” if, among other factors, the outcome is not within the control of the Company. Because no such restructuring, refinancing, sale or other potential transactions have closed, such outcomes are not within the control of the Company; therefore, for accounting purposes, management is unable to conclude that such an outcome is probable. Accordingly, ASC 205-40 requires management to conclude that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year following the date of issuance of these financial statements. ​ While management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to extend the maturity dates applicable to, or retire, the BofA Term Loan, the BMO Term Loan and the Senior Notes through a refinancing, asset sales or other potential transactions, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to do so. The failure to extend the maturity dates applicable to, or retire, the BofA Term Loan, the BMO Term Loan and the Senior Notes through a refinancing, asset sales or other potential transactions could lead to events of default, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. ​ The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. ​ Financial Instruments ​ The Company estimates that the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued compensation, and tenant security deposits approximate their fair values based on their short-term maturity and the term loans payable approximate their fair values as they bear interest at variable interest rates or at rates that are at market for similar investments. ​ Cash, Cash Equ ivalents and Restricted Cash ​ The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows. ​

Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | ​ | $ | 31,575 | ​ | $ | 42,375
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
(1) Includes $89 and $1,608 at September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, pertaining to Monument Circle, which the Company is unable to utilize for its own operational purposes. | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ Restricted cash consists of escrows arising from property sales. Cash held in escrow is paid based on the terms of the closing agreements for the sale. ​ ​ Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) ​ The Company determines whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, whether it should be consolidated by utilizing judgments and estimates that are inherently subjective. The determination of whether an entity in which the Company holds a, direct or indirect, variable interest is a VIE is based on several factors, including whether the entity’s total equity investment at risk upon inception is sufficient to finance the entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company makes judgments regarding the sufficiency of the equity at risk based first on a qualitative analysis, and then a quantitative analysis, if necessary. ​ The Company analyzes any investments in VIEs to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its direct and indirect economic interests in the entity. Determining which reporting entity, if any, is the primary beneficiary of a VIE is primarily a qualitative approach focused on identifying which reporting entity has both (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from such entity that could potentially be significant to such entity. Performance of that analysis requires the exercise of judgment. ​ The Company considers a variety of factors in identifying the entity that holds the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance including, but not limited to, the ability to direct a proposed sale of the property or merger of the company. In addition, the Company considers the rights of other investors to participate in those decisions, to replace the manager and to amend the corporate charter. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes involved with a VIE and considers that conclusion upon a reconsideration event. ​ As of January 1, 2023, the Company’s relationship with the Sponsored REIT was considered a VIE and the Company became the primary beneficiary. Upon this reconsideration event, the entity is included within the Company’s consolidated financial statements and all intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. A gain on consolidation of approximately $0.4 million was recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2023. Cash and cash equivalents of $3 million held by Monument Circle was included in the Company’s cash and cash equivalents upon consolidation and is reflected as “Consolidation of Sponsored REIT” in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The cash and cash equivalents held by Monument Circle are unable to be utilized for the Company’s operational purposes. The creditors of Monument Circle’s trade payables do not have any recourse against the Company. ​ Management fees and interest income from loans: ​ Asset management fees range from 1% to 5% of collected rents and the applicable contracts are cancellable with 30 days notice. The Company recognized no asset management fee income from non-consolidated entities for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. ​ The Company recognized no interest income and fees from the Sponsored REIT Loan for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. ​ On October 29, 2021, the Company agreed to amend and restate the then existing Sponsored REIT Loan to extend the maturity date from December 6, 2022 to June 30, 2023 and to advance an additional $3.0 million tranche of indebtedness to Monument Circle with the same June 30, 2023 maturity date, effectively increasing the aggregate principal amount of the Sponsored REIT Loan from $21 million to $24 million. In addition, the Company agreed to defer all principal and interest payments due under the Sponsored REIT Loan until the maturity date. As part of its consideration for agreeing to amend and restate the Sponsored REIT Loan, the Company obtained from the stockholders of the parent of Monument Circle the right to vote their shares in favor of any sale of the property owned by Monument Circle any time on or after January 1, 2023. There were no commitments to lend additional funds to the Sponsored REIT. On June 26, 2023, the Sponsored REIT Loan maturity was extended to September 30, 2023. On September 26, 2023, the Sponsored REIT Loan maturity was further extended to September 30, 2024. On September 27, 2024, the Sponsored REIT Loan maturity was further extended to September 30, 2025. The Sponsored REIT Loan was extinguished on June 6, 2025, when the property securing the loan was sold. More information on the sale is included in Note 8, “Disposition of Properties and Assets Held for Sale” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. ​ Recent Accounting Standards ​ In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative (“ASU 2023-06”). ASU 2023-06 adds interim and annual disclosure requirements to GAAP at the request of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The guidance in ASU 2023-06 is required to be applied prospectively and the GAAP requirements will be effective when the removal of the related SEC disclosure requirements is effective. If the SEC does not act to remove its related requirements by June 30, 2027, any related FASB amendments will be removed from the Accounting Standards Codification and will not be effective. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2023-06 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. ​ In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 requires public entities to disclose significant segment expense and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. The guidance in ASU 2023-07 is applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements and is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption was permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. ​ In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures and disclosures about income taxes paid. The guidance in ASU 2023-09 should be applied prospectively but may be applied retrospectively for each period presented. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 on January 1, 2025, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. ​ In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to provide disaggregated disclosures, in the notes to the financial statements, of certain categories of expenses that are included in expense line items on the face of the income statement. The guidance in ASU 2024-03 is required to be applied prospectively and entities may apply it retrospectively. ASU 2024-03 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
