MISSION WEST PROPERTIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
August 31, 1997
NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Mission West Properties (the "Company") has historically been engaged in
developing, owning, operating, and selling income-producing real estate
located principally in southern California. As discussed in Note 2 "Sale of
Real Estate Investments/Sale of Common Stock" below, the Company completed
the sale of its entire real estate portfolio during May 1997 and completed a
sale of the remaining corporate entity through a stock transaction on
September 2, 1997.
As of September 2, 1997, the Company is 80-percent owned by a group of
private investors led by Berg & Berg Enterprises, Inc. of Cupertino,
California. Prior to September 2, 1997, the Company was 44-percent owned by
Alarmguard Holdings, Inc., who had merged on April 15, 1997 with the
Company's previous 44-percent owner, Triton Group Ltd.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements (unaudited) have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and,
therefore, do not include all the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis
assuming continuity of operations and the realization of assets and
liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at financial statement date, and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year or for any future
periods. In the opinion of management, the information furnished herein
reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, that
are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the unaudited interim
period.
NOTE 2 -- SALE OF REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS/SALE OF COMMON STOCK
PRO FORMA BALANCE SHEET AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On December 6, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to sell all its
real estate assets to Spieker Properties, L.P. ("Spieker"), a California
limited partnership, for $50,500,000 in cash, subject to certain customary
conditions. A special shareholder meeting was held December 16, 1996, at
which the Company's shareholders approved the sale of the real estate assets
to Spieker.
A majority of the sale transaction was completed January 22, 1997, at which
time nine of the Company's 11 real estate properties were sold. The sale of
the remaining two properties was completed May 6, 1997. The properties sold
consisted of occupied office, light industrial, and R&D buildings and
leaseholds, together with hangar and office buildings thereon, in San Diego
and Riverside counties, California, and occupied industrial buildings and
vacant land in Chandler, Arizona. The total building space sold approximated
815,000 square feet.
The Company received $47,500,000 in cash upon completing the sale of the
first portion of the portfolio (nine properties), from which it repaid all
debt encumbering the properties and paid the related transaction and closing
costs, including $3,000,000 in "break-up" fees from previously terminated
sales transactions. Upon completing the sale of the two remaining properties
in May 1997, the Company received $3,000,000 in cash, from which the related
transaction and closing costs were paid. The costs of real estate sold
reflected in the statement of operations include the "break-up" fees as well
as the Company's net investment in the underlying real estate sold and all
other transaction and selling costs.
The Company declared and paid a special cash distribution of $9.00 per share
to shareholders during February 1997. This distribution represented the
available proceeds from the portion of the real estate portfolio that was
sold in January 1997.

<PAGE>
NOTE 2 (CONTINUED) -- SALE OF REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS/SALE OF COMMON STOCK
PRO FORMA BALANCE SHEET AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The sale of the real estate portfolio resulted in a substantial gain for the
Company. Following the sale of assets and the payment of the distribution to
shareholders, only nominal assets remained in the Company and, therefore, the
resulting corporate entity had virtually no revenue-generating or
cash-generating capabilities.
On May 27, 1997, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the
"Agreement") with a group of private investors led by Berg & Berg
Enterprises, Inc. (collectively, the "Purchaser" or the "Berg Group") of
Cupertino, California, pursuant to which the Company would sell 6,000,000
shares of newly issued common stock to the Purchaser for a purchase price of
$900,000 in cash, or $0.15 per share. A special meeting of shareholders was
held August 5, 1997, at which the shareholders approved the stock sale
transaction.
This sale of common stock was completed September 2, 1997, at which time all
officers and Directors resigned and the Berg Group became the controlling
shareholder with an 80-percent ownership position in the Company. The Berg
Group comprises privately held firms that have designed, developed, and
leased office, R&D, and manufacturing buildings and complexes occupied by
Silicon Valley technology companies since 1969. Currently, the Berg Group
owns and operates more than 3,500,000 square feet of property. Per terms of
the Agreement, the Company will pay a cash distribution of $3.30 per share to
shareholders on October 21, 1997 for a total distribution of $5,059,000; the
record date for this distribution was August 28, 1997.
The Pro Forma balance sheet has been prepared to show the effects that the
stock sale and resulting change in Directors and officers would have had on
the August 31, 1997 balance sheet, had that transaction occurred prior to the
end of the third quarter. The effects reflected in the Pro Forma balance
sheet consist of expenses and disbursements that arose upon the closing of
the transaction and include the issuance of the common stock, investment
advisor fees, former Director and officer severance and other payments, and
the related tax effects thereof.
NOTE 3 -- CASH FLOW INFORMATION
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash
on hand, money market funds, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, and
obligations of the U.S. Treasury with an original maturity of 90 days or
less. Cash paid during the nine months ended August 31 for interest was
$411,000 in 1997 and $2,400,000 in 1996. Cash paid for income taxes during
the nine-month periods was $546,000 in 1997 and $38,000 in 1996.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
Except for the historical information and discussions contained herein,
statements contained in this Form 10-Q may constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995 ("Reform Act"). The Company may also make forward-looking
statements in other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, in materials delivered to shareholders and in press releases. In
addition, the Company's representatives may from time to time make oral
forward-looking statements. In accordance with the Reform Act, set forth
below under "Liquidity and Capital Resources" are cautionary statements that
accompany those forward-looking statements. Those cautionary statements
identify certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements and from historical
trends.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 1997 COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 1996
As discussed in Note 2, "Sale of Real Estate Investments/Sale of Common
Stock," to the consolidated financial statements above, the Company sold a
majority of its real estate assets in January 1997 and completed the sale of
its entire real estate portfolio in May 1997, leaving the Company with no
operating assets and minimal cash-generating ability. During the third
quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company's shareholders approved a change in
control of the Company, through a stock sale to a group of private investors
completed on September 2, 1997. Additionally, in August 1997, the Board of
Directors declared a special cash distribution of $3.30 per share that will
be paid to shareholders on October 21, 1997 (record date of August 28, 1997)
(the "October Distribution").
Results for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 reflect the fact that the
Company had no operations, minimal other assets, and continued to incur
overhead expenses to enable completion of the stock sale transaction.
Expenses of approximately $65,000 were incurred during the quarter related to
the pending stock sale. During the third quarter of the preceding year, the
Company had continued to operate its real estate portfolio in the normal
course, and had entered into an agreement for sale of the portfolio to a
single purchaser (which was completed in fiscal 1997 with a different
purchaser). During the third quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company incurred
approximately $237,000 in costs associated with the sale of its real estate
assets in January and May 1997.
The stock sale was effected in accordance with a May 27, 1997 agreement
providing for the sale of 6,000,000 newly issued shares of Common Stock for
$0.15 per share to a group of private investors led by Berg & Berg
Enterprises, Inc. (the "Berg Group") of Cupertino, California. At a special
meeting held on August 5, 1997, the Company's shareholders approved the stock
sale. The stock sale was completed on September 2, 1997, subsequent to the
end of the third quarter, at which time all current officers and directors of
the Company resigned and were replaced by individuals recommended by the Berg
Group's representative. Upon completion of the stock sale, the Berg Group
owned approximately 79.6 percent of the outstanding shares of the Company.
FIRST NINE MONTHS FISCAL 1997 COMPARED TO FIRST NINE MONTHS FISCAL 1996
The sale of the Company's real estate portfolio in January and May 1997,
discussed above, had a significant effect on the operations of the Company
during fiscal year 1997. The sale of the real estate portfolio was in
accordance with a December 1996 agreement with Spieker Properties, L.P.
("Spieker"), a California limited partnership, in which Spieker agreed to
purchase all the Company's real estate assets for $50,500,000 in cash,
subject to certain customary conditions. A special meeting of the Company's
shareholders was held on December 16, 1996, at which the shareholders
approved the sale. Most of the sale transaction was completed on January 22,
1997, at which time the Company sold nine of its eleven real estate
properties. The sale of the remaining two properties was completed on May 6,
1997. All debt encumbering the properties and the related transaction and
closing costs were paid from the sales proceeds. The properties sold
consisted of occupied office, light industrial, and R&D buildings and
leaseholds, together with hangar and office buildings thereon, in San Diego
and Riverside Counties, California, and occupied industrial buildings and
vacant land in Chandler, Arizona. The total building space sold approximated
815,000 square feet. Upon completing the sale of the nine properties during
the first quarter of 1997, the Company received $47,500,000 in cash, from
which it repaid all debt encumbering the properties (thus eliminating future
interest expense) and paid related transaction and closing costs, including
$3,000,000 in "break-up" fees from previously terminated sales transactions.
- 8 -
<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED):
Upon completing the sale of the remaining two properties in May 1997, the
Company received $3,000,000 cash, from which related transaction and closing
costs also were paid.
FIRST NINE MONTHS FISCAL 1997 COMPARED TO FIRST NINE MONTHS FISCAL 1996
(CONTINUED)
The Company completed the sale of 6,000,000 newly issued shares of Common
Stock on September 2, 1997 at $0.15 per share for $900,000. The Company
declared and paid a special cash distribution of $9.00 per share to
shareholders during February 1997 and declared the October Distribution in
August 1997 for payment on October 21, 1997.
The sale of the real estate portfolio resulted in a gain of approximately
$4,675,000 and, coupled with the cash distribution paid to shareholders, left
the Company with no operating assets and minimal cash-generating ability.
Results for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 reflect the effects of the
sale: gain on sale of real estate (net of the "break-up" fees),
significantly decreased revenues and expenses from operations of real estate,
decreased interest expense, and an increase in general and administrative
expenses (primarily) due to severance payments upon downsizing of corporate
staff, and transaction costs associated with the sale of Common Stock).
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION:
AUGUST 31, 1997 COMPARED TO NOVEMBER 30, 1996
Nearly all changes in the Company's financial position during the first nine
months of fiscal year 1997 resulted from the sale of the Company's real
estate portfolio. Proceeds from the sale of the property were used to pay
all debt and a substantial portion of all other liabilities of the Company,
as well as the special $9.00 per share distribution to shareholders in
February 1997. In addition, the Board of Directors declared the October
Distribution, which was reserved by the Company as of August 31, 1997.
In connection with the January 1997 sale of real estate, vesting was
accelerated to permit the exercise of stock options for the purchase of
13,520 shares. During February 1997, all vested stock options, totaling
162,000 shares, also were exercised by option holders. Total exercise
proceeds to the Company from all such option exercises were $759,000 and were
recognized on a "net exercise" basis. Certain unvested options were canceled
in March 1997.
The Company completed the sale of 6,000,000 newly issued shares of Common
Stock subsequent to August 31, 1997 (see Note 2, "Sale of Real Estate
Investments/Sale of Common Stock" to the consolidated financial statements
above). The $900,000 purchase price was received on August 5, 1997, and was
initially classified as a liability until completion of the sale.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
During the first nine months of fiscal 1997, the Company generated cash from
the sale of all of its real estate assets and used the proceeds from such
sales to retire outstanding debt, fund ongoing operations, pay a special
distribution to shareholders and pay tax liabilities. After payment of the
October Distribution, only nominal assets will remain in the Company, which
will have minimal or no revenue-generating or cash-generating capabilities.
The Company intends to raise capital with a view to maintaining the listing
of the Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") and the Pacific
Exchange ("PSE") and enabling the Company to raise more capital for the
direct and indirect acquisition of revenue-generating real estate and other
assets. The Company may acquire such properties and other assets through
direct purchases or the issuance of securities of the Company in exchange for
such properties and assets or interests in existing businesses and entities
that own such properties and assets. The Company may enter into such
transactions with affiliates of Berg & Berg Enterprises, Inc. and Carl E.
Berg, the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, which own
and operate more than 3,500,000 square feet of Santa Clara County, California
properties. There can be no assurance that any such transactions will occur,
however.
The Board of Directors has determined, subject to compliance with applicable
laws and AMEX requirements, shareholder approval, and the satisfaction of
customary conditions, that the Company should effect a 1 for 30 reverse split
of the Common
- 9 -
<PAGE>
Stock and sell up to 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock at $4.50 per share
(post-split) in a private placement to sophisticated investors. The Board of
Directors has determined that this price will be approximately equivalent on
a post-reverse split basis to the $0.15 per share paid by the Berg Group for
shares of Common Stock in September 1997. Moreover, the Board of Directors
has determined that $4.50 is an appropriate price for all transactions
involving Common Stock and Common Stock equivalents issued by the Company
until such time as the Company has acquired revenue-generating properties and
other assets, directly or indirectly, and has funds from real estate
operations. The ownership interests in the Company held by existing
shareholders will be reduced substantially by any of such transactions, any
of which may be materially dilutive to all existing shareholders of the
Company. If the Company does not raise additional capital or acquire
revenue-generating real estate or other assets, the Company believes that the
outstanding shares of Common Stock will cease to have value.
Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Some
of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those in the forward-looking statements include the following:
- Future transactions intended to raise capital for the Company and result
in the Company's conduct of a new real estate business are subject to
applicable California and federal laws, the regulations of stock
exchanges or other markets on which the Common Stock is traded, real
estate market conditions, stock market conditions, or other factors.
- Following the October Distribution, the Common Stock will no longer meet
the listing requirements of the AMEX and PSE. In the absence of
appropriate actions by the Company, there is a risk, therefore, that the
Common Stock will be delisted from such exchanges and there may no longer
exist a trading market for the Common Stock.
- If the Company does raise sufficient capital to maintain the AMEX and
PSE listings of the Common Stock, but does not re-enter the real
estate business during the next fiscal year, the Company may become
subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which
would entail substantially more regulation of the Company at
significant additional expense.
- At present, approximately 79.6 percent of the outstanding Common Stock
is owned by members of the Berg Group. All such shares are subject
to a Voting Rights Agreement obligating those shareholders to vote
their shares in the manner recommended by Berg & Berg Enterprises,
Inc. and Carl E. Berg, who as a result, should be viewed as
possessing effective control of the Company. There can be no
assurance that such control will be exercised to cause the occurrence
of any transaction described in the forward-looking statements.
- If the Company does re-enter the real estate business, there can be no
assurance that the Company's operations will be profitable. There can
be no assurance that the price of a share of Common Stock will
increase as a result of the Company's acquisition of any real estate
or other assets or its future revenue-generating activities, if any.
