Thomas Properties Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:TPGI) reported today the results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

The results of operations presented in this release include TPGI’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The consolidated net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $4,948,000 or $0.21 per share compared to consolidated net income of $650,000 or $0.03 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The consolidated net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $5,167,000 or $0.22 per share compared to consolidated net income of $395,000 or $0.02 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

After tax cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $11,955,000 or $0.50 per share compared to after tax cash flow of $6,256,000 or $0.30 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2007.

We define after tax cash flow (ATCF) as net income (loss) excluding the following items: deferred income taxes, non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization, amortization of loan costs, non-cash compensation expense, straight-line rent adjustments and fair market value rent adjustments. ATCF is further described in note (c) to the financial statements below.

“Our investment management platform continues to grow with the commitment of $250 million of equity from UBS Wealth Management – North American Property Fund Limited,” said Jim Thomas, Chairman and CEO. “This joint venture program and our High Performance Green Fund currently have buying capacity of over $1 billion, which positions us well to take advantage of future opportunities.”

Thomas added, “On the development front, we expect to complete construction of both the Murano condominiums and the first two office buildings at Four Points Centre in the third quarter. We are very pleased that the construction of both of these properties has gone better than expected.”

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