Item 8.01. Other Events
     Prentiss Properties Trust (the “Company”) is revising its historical financial statements in connection with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”). During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the Company reclassified certain properties to assets held for sale and in compliance with SFAS 144 has reported revenue and expenses from the reclassification of these properties as discontinued operations for each period presented in its quarterly report for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 (including the comparable periods of the prior year). Under SEC requirements, the same reclassification as discontinued operations required by SFAS 144 following the reclassification of these properties is required for previously issued annual financial statements for each of the three years shown in the Company’s last annual report on Form 10-K, if those financials are incorporated by reference in subsequent filings with the SEC made under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, even though those financial statements relate to periods prior to the date of the reclassification. This reclassification has no effect on the Company’s reported net income.
     This Report on Form 8-K updates Items 6, 7, 8 and 15(a)1 of the Company’s 2004 Form 10-K filed on March 15, 2005, to reflect the reclassification of certain properties to assets held for sale during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 as discontinued operations. All other items of the Form 10-K remain unchanged. The unchanged and updated sections of the Company’s Form 10-K are attached hereto as exhibit 99.1. No attempt has been made to update matters in the Form 10-K except to the extent expressly provided above.
