EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 of DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. and DuPont Fabros Technology, L.P. References to the “REIT” or “DFT” mean DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. and its controlled subsidiaries; and references to the “Operating Partnership” or “OP” mean DuPont Fabros Technology, L.P. and its controlled subsidiaries. The term “the Company” refers to DFT and the Operating Partnership, collectively.

DFT is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership’s capital includes general and limited common operating partnership units, or “OP units”. As of September 30, 2011, DFT owned 76.2% of the economic interest in the Operating Partnership, with the remaining interest being owned by investors. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, DFT has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management.

The Company believes combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of DFT and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:

•

enhances investors’ understanding of DFT and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

•

eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure in this report applies to both DFT and the Operating Partnership; and

•

creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

Management operates DFT and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of DFT consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership.

The Company believes it is important for investors to understand the few differences between DFT and the Operating Partnership in the context of how DFT and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. DFT is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of OP units of the Operating Partnership. As a result, DFT does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. DFT has not issued any indebtedness, but has guaranteed all of the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds all the real estate assets of the Company. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by DFT, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for OP units or preferred units, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These sources include the Operating Partnership’s operations, its direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness, and the issuance of partnership units.

As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, DFT consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes. The presentation of stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of DFT and those of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership’s capital includes preferred units and general and limited common units that are owned by DFT and the other partners. DFT’s stockholders’ equity includes preferred stock, common stock, additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit. The common limited partnership interests held by the limited partners (other than DFT) in the Operating Partnership are presented as “redeemable partnership units” in the Operating Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and as “redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership” in DFT’s consolidated financial statements. The only difference between the total assets and cash flows of DFT and the Operating Partnership as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is a $4.3 million bank account held by DFT that is not part of the Operating Partnership and a $0.2 million payment of offering expenses paid by DFT that is not reflected as a use of cash on the Operating Partnership’s cash flow statement. Net income is the same for DFT and the Operating Partnership.

In order to highlight the few differences between DFT and the Operating Partnership, there are sections in this report that discuss DFT and the Operating Partnership separately, including separate financial statements, controls and procedures sections, and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure for DFT and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company. Although the Operating Partnership is generally the entity that enters into contracts, holds assets and issues debt, we believe that reference to the Company in this context is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and the Company operates the business through the Operating Partnership.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

(unaudited)

1. Description of Business

DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. (the “REIT” or “DFT”), through its controlling interest in DuPont Fabros Technology, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership” or “OP” and collectively with DFT and their operating subsidiaries, the “Company”), is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed company that owns, acquires, develops and operates wholesale data centers. DFT was formed on March 2, 2007 and completed its initial public offering of common stock (the “IPO”) on October 24, 2007. DFT elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2007. DFT is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of September 30, 2011, owned 76.2% of the partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, of which 1.1% is held as general partnership units. As of September 30, 2011, the Company holds a fee simple interest in the following properties:

•

nine operating data centers—referred to as ACC2, ACC3, ACC4, ACC5, ACC6 Phase I, VA3, VA4, CH1 Phase I and NJ1 Phase I;

•

data center projects under current development—referred to as SC1 Phase I and CH1 Phase II;

•

data center projects available for future development— the second phases of ACC6, NJ1 and SC1; and

•

land that may be used to develop additional data centers—referred to as ACC7, ACC8 and SC2.

On October 1, 2011, SC1 Phase I was placed into operations.

In the second quarter of 2011, the Company acquired land for development of a 36.4 megawatt data center that will be known as ACC7. The land held to develop a 10.4 megawatt data center formerly known as ACC7 was renamed ACC8.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 of DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. and DuPont Fabros Technology, L.P. The Company believes combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of DFT and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:

•

enhances investors’ understanding of DFT and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

•

creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

Management operates DFT and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of DFT consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership.

The Company believes it is important to understand the few differences between DFT and the Operating Partnership in the context of how DFT and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. DFT is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of OP units of the Operating Partnership. As a result, DFT does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. DFT has not issued any indebtedness, but has guaranteed all of the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds all the real estate assets of the Company. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by DFT, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for OP units or preferred units, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These sources include the Operating Partnership’s operations, its direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness, and the issuance of partnership units.

months ended September 30, 2011 is a $4.3 million bank account held by DFT that is not part of the Operating Partnership and a $0.2 million payment of offering expenses paid by DFT that is not reflected as a use of cash on the Operating Partnership’s cash flow statement. Net income is the same for DFT and the Operating Partnership.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2010 contained in the Company’s Form 10-K, which contains a complete listing of the Company’s significant accounting policies.

The Company has one reportable segment consisting of investments in data centers located in the United States.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Property

Depreciation on buildings is generally provided on a straight-line basis over 40 years from the date the buildings were placed in service. Building components are depreciated over the life of the respective improvement ranging from 20 to 40 years from the date the components were placed in service. Personal property is depreciated over three to seven years. Depreciation expense was $17.3 million and $14.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $51.2 million and $41.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Included in these amounts is amortization expense related to tenant origination costs, which was $1.2 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $3.6 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations or in development when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired, and the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts. If circumstances indicating impairment of a property are present, the Company would determine the fair value of that property, and an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying amount of the impaired asset over its fair value. Management assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its assets on a property-by-property basis. No impairment losses were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

The Company classifies a data center property as held-for-sale when it meets the necessary criteria, which include when the Company commits to and actively embarks on a plan to sell the asset, the sale is expected to be completed within one year under terms usual and customary for such sales, 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. Data center properties held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. As of September 30, 2011, there were no data center properties classified as held-for-sale and discontinued operations.

Deferred Costs

Deferred costs, net on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets include both financing and leasing costs.

Financing costs, which represent fees and other costs incurred in obtaining debt, are amortized using the effective-interest rate method or a method that approximates the effective-interest method, over the term of the loan and are included in amortization of deferred financing costs. Balances, net of accumulated amortization, at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are as follows (in thousands):


	September 30, 2011			December 31, 2010
Financing costs	$	21,087		$	19,788
Accumulated amortization		(5,852	)		(3,077	)

Financing costs, net	$	15,235		$	16,711

Leasing costs, which are either external fees and costs incurred in the successful negotiations of leases, internal costs expended in the successful negotiations of leases or the estimated leasing commissions resulting from the allocation of the purchase price of ACC2, VA3, VA4 and ACC4, are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related leases on a straight-line basis. If an applicable lease terminates prior to the expiration of its initial term, the carrying amount of the costs are written off to amortization expense. The Company incurred leasing costs of $1.7 million and $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Amortization of deferred leasing costs totaled $1.1 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and $3.4 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Balances, net of accumulated amortization, at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are as follows (in thousands):


	September 30, 2011			December 31, 2010
Leasing costs	$	46,027		$	44,355
Accumulated amortization		(18,917	)		(15,523	)

Leasing costs, net	$	27,110		$	28,832

Inventory

The Company maintains fuel inventory for its generators, which is recorded at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fuel inventory was $2.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Rental Income

The Company, as a lessor, has retained substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership and accounts for its leases as operating leases. For lease agreements that provide for scheduled fixed and determinable rent increases, rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the leases, which commences when control of the space and critical power have been provided to the tenant. If the lease contains an early termination clause with a penalty payment, the Company determines the lease termination date by evaluating whether the penalty reasonably assures that the lease will not be terminated early. Lease inducements, which include free rent or cash payments to tenants, are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the non-cancellable lease term. Straight-line rents receivable are included in deferred rent on the consolidated balance sheets. Lease intangible assets and liabilities that have resulted from above-market and below-market leases that were acquired are amortized on a straight-line basis as decreases and increases, respectively, to rental revenue over the remaining non-cancellable term of the underlying leases. If a lease terminates prior to the expiration of its initial term, the unamortized portion of lease intangibles associated with that lease will be written off to rental revenue. Balances, net of accumulated amortization, at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are as follows (in thousands):


	September 30, 2011			December 31, 2010
Lease contracts above market value	$	23,100		$	23,100
Accumulated amortization		(11,470	)		(9,616	)

Lease contracts above market value, net	$	11,630		$	13,484


Lease contracts below market value	$	45,700		$	45,700
Accumulated amortization		(26,135	)		(22,381	)

Lease contracts below market value, net	$	19,565		$	23,319

The Company’s policy is to record a provision for losses on accounts receivable equal to the estimated uncollectible accounts. The estimate is based on management’s historical experience and a review of the current status of the Company’s receivables. The Company will also establish, as necessary, an appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts for receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents. This receivable arises from revenue recognized in excess of amounts currently due under the lease.

Tenant leases generally contain provisions under which the tenants reimburse the Company for a portion of operating expenses and real estate taxes incurred by the property. Recoveries from tenants are included in revenue in the consolidated statements of operations in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred. Recoveries from tenants also include the property management fees that the Company earns from its tenants.

Other Revenue

Other revenue primarily consists of services provided to tenants on a non-recurring basis. This includes projects such as the purchase and installation of circuits, racks, breakers and other tenant requested items. Revenue is recognized on a completed contract basis. Costs of providing these services are included in other expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests – Operating Partnership / Redeemable Partnership Units

Redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership, as presented on DFT’s consolidated balance sheets, represent the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“OP units”) held by individuals and entities other than DFT. These interests are also presented on the Operating Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets, referred to as “redeemable partnership units.” Accordingly, the following discussion related to redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership of the REIT refers equally to redeemable partnership units of the Operating Partnership.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership, which require cash payment, or allow settlement in shares, but with the ability to deliver the shares outside of the control of DFT, are reported outside of the permanent equity section of the consolidated balance sheets of DFT and Operating Partnership. Redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership are adjusted for income, losses and distributions allocated to OP units not held by DFT (normal noncontrolling interest accounting amount). Adjustments to redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership are recorded to reflect increases or decreases in the ownership of the Operating Partnership by holders of OP units, including in the case of redemptions of OP units for cash or in exchange for shares of DFT’s common stock. If such adjustments result in redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership being recorded at less than the redemption value of the OP units, redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership are further adjusted to their redemption value (see Note 6). Redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership are recorded at the greater of the normal noncontrolling interest accounting amount or redemption value. The following is a summary of activity for redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (dollars in thousands):


	OP Units
	Number			Amount

Net income is allocated to controlling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership in accordance with the limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership. The following is a summary of net income attributable to controlling interests and transfers to redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (dollars in thousands):

	$	149,481	$	(6,902	)	$	127,359	$	(84,828	)

Comprehensive Income

DFT reports comprehensive income on its consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity and within redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership. The Operating Partnership reports comprehensive income on its consolidated statement of partners’ capital. Comprehensive income is defined as all changes in equity during each period except those resulting from investments by or distributions to shareholders of the REIT or partners of the Operating Partnership. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, comprehensive income attributable to controlling interests and noncontrolling interests was comprised exclusively of net income attributable to controlling interests and noncontrolling interests.

Earnings Per Share of the REIT

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common shares for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period using the two class method. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common shares for the period by the weighted average number of common and dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

Earnings Per Unit of the Operating Partnership

Basic earnings per unit is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common units for the period by the weighted average number of common units outstanding during the period using the two class method. Diluted earnings per unit is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common units for the period by the weighted average number of common and dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

Stock-based Compensation

DFT awards stock-based compensation to employees and members of its Board of Directors in the form of common stock. For each stock award granted by DFT, the OP issues an equivalent common unit, which may be referred to herein as a common share, common stock, or common unit. The Company estimates the fair value of the awards and recognizes this value over the requisite vesting period. The fair value of restricted stock-based compensation is based on the market value of DFT’s common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of options to purchase common stock is based on the Black-Scholes model.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts from the prior year have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation.

Outstanding Indebtedness

ACC5 Term Loan

On December 2, 2009, the Company entered into a $150 million term loan facility (the “ACC5 Term Loan”). An interest reserve in the amount of $10.0 million was withheld from the loan proceeds and the remaining interest reserve was classified as restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2011, this interest reserve was zero as the reserve was fully utilized for interest payments. The ACC5 Term Loan matures on December 2, 2014 and the initial rate of interest was LIBOR plus 4.25% with a LIBOR floor of 1.5%. On July 29, 2011, the Company executed an amendment to the ACC5 Term Loan (the “Third Amendment”) that, among other things, removed the 1.5% LIBOR floor and reduced the applicable margin to 3.00%. As of September 30, 2011, the interest rate for this loan was 3.22%.

The ACC5 Term Loan’s maturity did not change and the loan continues to mature on December 2, 2014. Under the Third Amendment, the Company is prohibited from prepaying the ACC5 Term Loan prior to July 31, 2012 and, from July 31, 2012 through November 30, 2012, the Company may prepay the loan, in whole or in part, if it pays exit fees ranging from 0.75% to 1.00% of the then-outstanding principal balance. After November 30, 2012, the Company may prepay the ACC5 Term Loan at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium.

The loan is secured by the ACC5 and ACC6 data centers and an assignment of the lease agreements between the Company and the tenants of ACC5 and ACC6. The Operating Partnership has guaranteed the outstanding principal amount of the ACC5 Term Loan, plus interest and certain costs under the loan.

The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the loan as of September 30, 2011.

Unsecured Notes

On December 16, 2009, the Operating Partnership completed the sale of $550 million of 8.5% senior notes due 2017 (the “Unsecured Notes”). The Unsecured Notes were issued at face value. The Company pays interest on the Unsecured Notes semi-annually, in arrears, on December 15 and June 15 of each year. On each of December 15, 2015 and December 15, 2016, $125 million in principal amount of the Unsecured Notes will become due and payable, with the remaining $300 million due on December 15, 2017.

The Unsecured Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally on a senior unsecured basis by DFT and certain of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, including the subsidiaries that own the ACC2, ACC3, ACC4, ACC5, ACC6, VA3, VA4, CH1 and NJ1 data centers (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), but excluding the subsidiaries that own the SC1 data center, the ACC7, ACC8 and SC2 parcels of land, and the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), DF Technical Services, LLC.

The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Unsecured Notes as of September 30, 2011.

Unsecured Credit Facility

On May 6, 2010, the Operating Partnership entered into a credit agreement providing for an $85 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The facility was increased to $100 million in August 2010 through the use of its accordion feature. The facility has an initial maturity date of May 6, 2013, with a one-year extension option, subject to the payment of an extension fee equal to 50 basis points on the amount of the facility at initial maturity and certain other customary conditions. As of September 30, 2011, the Operating Partnership has not drawn down any funds under the facility.

The facility is unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and all of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries that currently guaranty the obligations under the Company’s Indenture governing the terms of the Unsecured Notes, including the subsidiaries that own the ACC2, ACC3, ACC4, ACC5, ACC6, VA3, VA4, CH1 and NJ1 data centers, but excluding the subsidiaries that own the SC1 data center, the ACC7, ACC8 and SC2 parcels of land, and the TRS.

On February 4, 2011, the Operating Partnership entered into a first amendment to its unsecured credit facility, which removes the 1% floor for LIBOR established under the original agreement and establishes applicable margins for LIBOR based loans and base rate loans that are based on the Company’s ratio of total indebtedness to gross asset value. Under the amendment, the Company may still elect to have borrowings under the facility bear interest at either LIBOR or a base rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin added to LIBOR now is based on the table below instead of a flat 450 basis points, and the applicable margin added to the base rate now is based on the table below instead of a flat 300 basis points.


		Applicable Margin
Pricing Level	Ratio of Total Indebtedness to Gross Asset Value	LIBOR Rate Loans			Base Rate Loans
Pricing Level 1	Less than or equal to 35%		3.25	%		1.25	%
Pricing Level 2	Greater than 35% but less than or equal to 45%		3.50	%		1.50	%
Pricing Level 3	Greater than 45% but less than or equal to 55%		3.75	%		1.75	%
Pricing Level 4	Greater than 55%		4.25	%		2.25	%

Under the amendment, the initial applicable margin is set at pricing level 1. The terms of the amendment provide for the adjustment to the applicable margin from time to time.

The amount available for borrowings under the facility will be determined according to a calculation comparing the value of certain unencumbered properties designated by the Operating Partnership at such time relative to the amount of the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt. As of September 30, 2011, all $100 million of the facility was available for borrowing and up to $25 million of borrowings under the facility may be used for letters of credit.

The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the facility as of September 30, 2011.

A summary of the Company’s debt maturity schedule as of September 30, 2011 is as follows:

5. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved from time to time in various legal proceedings, lawsuits, examinations by various tax authorities and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. Management currently believes that the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

The development of SC1 Phase I was completed as of October 1, 2011 and the property was placed into service. Therefore, all commitments related to SC1 Phase I as of September 30, 2011, are included in construction costs payable on the Company’s balance sheet. A contract related to the development of the CH1 Phase II data center was in place as of September 30, 2011. This contract is cost-plus in nature whereby the contract sum is the aggregate of the cost of the actual work performed and equipment purchased plus a contractor fee. Control estimates, which are adjusted from time to time to reflect any contract changes, are estimates of the total contract cost at completion. As of September 30, 2011, the CH1 Phase II control estimate was $163.3 million of which $133.3 million has been incurred. Because of the cost-plus nature of this contract, if development was halted on this project, the Company would incur liabilities less than what is remaining within the control estimate. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had entered into commitments through its construction general contractor to purchase $10.3 million in equipment and labor for the CH1 Phase II development property. Additionally, the Company has entered into contracts for various projects at its NJ1 property totaling $17.8 million of which $4.8 million was incurred as of September 30, 2011.

Concurrent with DFT’s IPO in October 2007, the Company entered into tax protection agreements with some of the contributors of the initial properties including DFT’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and President and CEO. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, if the Company disposes of any interest in the initial contributed properties that generates more than a certain allowable amount of built-in gain for the contributors, as a group, in any single year through 2017, the Company will indemnify the contributors for a portion of the tax liabilities incurred with respect to the amount of built-in gain and tax liabilities incurred as a result of the reimbursement payment. The amount of initial built-in gain that can be recognized as of September 30, 2011 without triggering the tax protection provisions is approximately 44% of the initial built in gain of $667 million (unaudited). This percentage grows each year by 10%, accumulating to 100% in 2017. The Company’s estimated aggregate built-in gain attributed to the initial contributors as of December 31, 2010 was approximately $440 – $460 million (unaudited). Additionally, the Company must provide an opportunity for certain of the contributors of the initial properties to guarantee a secured loan or agree to restore all or part of their deficit capital account in the OP upon the occurrence of certain events. Any sale by the Company that requires payments to any of DFT’s executive officers or directors pursuant to these agreements requires the approval of at least 75% of the disinterested members of DFT’s Board of Directors.

6. Redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership / Redeemable partnership units

Redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership, as presented on DFT’s consolidated balance sheets, represent the OP units held by individuals and entities other than DFT. These interests are also presented on the Operating Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets, referred to as “redeemable partnership units.” Accordingly, the following discussion related to redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership of the REIT refers equally to redeemable partnership units of the Operating Partnership.

The redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $383.4 million and $466.8 million based on the closing share price of DFT’s common stock of $19.69 and $21.27, respectively, on those dates.

Holders of OP units are entitled to receive distributions in a per unit amount equal to the per share dividends made with respect to each share of DFT’s common stock, if and when DFT’s Board of Directors declares such a dividend. Holders of OP units have the right to tender their units for redemption, in an amount equal to the fair market value of DFT’s common stock. DFT may elect to redeem tendered OP units for cash or for shares of DFT’s common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, OP unitholders redeemed 2,478,000 OP units in exchange for an equal number of shares of DFT’s common stock. See Note 2.

7. Preferred Stock

Series A Preferred Stock

On October 13, 2010, DFT issued 7,400,000 shares of 7.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) for $185.0 million in an underwritten public offering that resulted in proceeds to the Company, net of underwriting discounts, commissions, advisory fees and other offering costs, of $178.6 million. The liquidation preference on the Series A Preferred Stock is $25 per share and dividends are scheduled quarterly.

In 2011, DFT has declared and paid the following cash dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock:

•

$0.4921875 per share payable to shareholders of record as of March 29, 2011. This dividend was paid on April 15, 2011.

•

$0.4921875 per share payable to shareholders of record as of October 7, 2011. This dividend was paid on October 17, 2011.

For each share of Series A Preferred Stock issued by DFT, the Operating Partnership issued a preferred unit equivalent to DFT with the same terms.

Series B Preferred Stock

On March 3, 2011, DFT issued 4,050,000 shares of 7.625% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) for $101.3 million in an underwritten public offering that resulted in proceeds to the Company, net of underwriting discounts, commissions, advisory fees and other offering costs, of $97.5 million. The liquidation preference on the Series B Preferred Stock is $25 per share and dividends are scheduled quarterly.

In 2011, DFT has declared and paid the following cash dividends on its Series B Preferred Stock:

•

$0.20121528 per share payable to shareholders of record as of March 29, 2011. This dividend was paid on April 15, 2011.

•

$0.476562 per share payable to shareholders of record as of June 28, 2011. This dividend was paid on July 15, 2011.

•

$0.476562 per share payable to shareholders of record as of October 7, 2011. This dividend was paid on October 17, 2011.

For each share of Series B Preferred Stock issued by DFT, the Operating Partnership issued a preferred unit equivalent to DFT with the same terms.

Except in instances relating to preservation of the Company’s qualification as a REIT or pursuant to the special optional redemption right and conversion right discussed below, the Series B Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to March 15, 2016 or convertible at any time. On and after March 15, 2016, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series B Preferred Stock, in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of redemption.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control, DFT has a special optional redemption right that enables it to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock within 120 days after the first date on which a change of control has occurred resulting in neither DFT nor the surviving entity having a class of common shares listed on the NYSE, NYSE Amex or NASDAQ. For this special redemption right, the redemption price is $25 per share in cash, plus accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but not including, the redemption date.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control that results in neither DFT nor the surviving entity having a class of common shares listed on the NYSE, NYSE Amex or NASDAQ, the holder will have the right (subject to DFT’s special optional redemption right to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock) to convert some or all of the Series B Preferred Stock into a number of shares of DFT’s common stock equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of (x) $25.00, plus (y) an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, to but not including, the date of conversion (unless the date of conversion is after a record date for a Series B Preferred Stock dividend payment and prior to the corresponding Series B Preferred Stock dividend payment date, in which case no additional amount for such accrued and unpaid dividend will be included in this quotient), by (ii) the price of our common stock, and (B) 2.105 (the Share Cap), subject to certain adjustments and provisions for the receipt of alternative consideration of equivalent value.

8. Stockholders’ Equity of the REIT and Partners’ Capital of the OP

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, DFT issued an aggregate of 164,727 shares of common stock in connection with the hiring of new employees, annual grants and retainers for its Board of Directors and the Company’s annual grant of restricted stock to employees. The OP issued an equivalent number of units to the REIT.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, OP unitholders redeemed 2,478,000 OP units in exchange for an equal number of shares of DFT’s common stock.

In 2011, DFT has declared and paid the following cash dividends totaling $0.36 per share on its common stock:

•

$0.12 per share payable to shareholders of record as of March 29, 2011. This dividend was paid on April 8, 2011.

•

$0.12 per share payable to shareholders of record as of June 28, 2011. This dividend was paid on July 8, 2011.

•

$0.12 per share payable to shareholders of record as of October 7, 2011. This dividend was paid on October 17, 2011.

The OP paid equivalent distributions on OP units.

9. Equity Compensation Plan

In May 2011, DFT’s Board of Directors adopted the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) following approval from its stockholders. The 2011 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The 2011 Plan allows the Company to provide equity-based compensation to its personnel in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance-based awards, unrestricted stock, long term incentives units (“LTIP units”) and other awards.

The 2011 Plan authorizes a maximum aggregate of 6,300,000 share equivalents be reserved for future issuances. In addition, shares that were awarded under the Company’s 2007 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2007 Plan”) that subsequently become available due to forfeitures of such awards will be available for issuance under the 2011 Plan.

The 2011 Plan provides that awards can no longer be made under the 2007 Plan. Furthermore, under the 2011 Plan, shares of common stock that are subject to awards of options or stock appreciation rights will be counted against the 2011 Plan share limit as one share for every one share subject to the award. Any shares of stock that are subject to awards other than options or stock appreciation rights shall be counted against the 2011 Plan share limit as 2.36 shares for every one share subject to the award.

As of September 30, 2011, the maximum aggregate amount of share equivalents that may be issued under the 2011 Plan, including forfeitures under the 2007 Plan, is equal to 6,300,000 shares, of which 16,199 have been issued, leaving 6,283,801 share equivalents available for future issuance.

Restricted Stock

Restricted stock awards vest over specified periods of time as long as the employee remains employed with the Company and are not subject to any performance criteria. The following table sets forth the number of unvested shares of restricted stock and the weighted average fair value of these shares at the date of grant:


	Shares of Restricted Stock			Weighted Average Fair Value at Date of Grant
Unvested balance at December 31, 2010		636,851		$	10.82
Granted		153,992		$	23.62
Vested		(284,747	)	$	9.65
Forfeited		(12,932	)	$	15.30

Unvested balance at September 30, 2011		493,164		$	15.37

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company issued 153,992 shares of restricted stock, which had a value of $3.6 million on the grant date. This amount will be amortized to expense over a three year vesting period. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, 284,747 shares of restricted stock vested at a value of $6.9 million on the vesting date.

As of September 30, 2011, total unearned compensation on restricted stock was $5.4 million, and the weighted average vesting period was 0.9 years.

Stock Options

Stock option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing market price of DFT’s common stock at the date of grant and vest over specified periods of time as long as the employee remains employed with the Company. All shares to be issued upon option exercises will be newly issued shares and the options have 10-year contractual terms.

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity under the Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is presented in the tables below.


	Number of Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price

The intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $0 and $2.3 million, respectively.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. As DFT has been a publicly traded company only since October 24, 2007, during which time DFT experienced significant volatility in its stock price, expected volatilities used in the Black-Scholes model are based on the historical volatility of a group of comparable REITs. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The following table summarizes the assumptions used to value the stock options granted and the fair value of these options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.


	Assumption
Number of options granted		637,879
Exercise price	$	23.79
Expected term (in years)		4
Expected volatility		44	%
Expected annual dividend		2.02	%

Fair value at date of grant	$	4.7 million

10. Earnings Per Share of the REIT

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of basic and diluted average shares outstanding used in the computation of earnings per share of common stock (in thousands except for share and per share amounts):

12. Fair Value

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

The Company follows the authoritative guidance issued by the FASB relating to fair value measurements that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly,

the guidance does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances. The guidance excludes the accounting for leases, as well as other authoritative guidance that address fair value measurements on lease classification and measurement. The authoritative guidance issued by the FASB emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The authoritative guidance issued by the FASB requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments. Fair value estimates are subjective in nature and are dependent on a number of important assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows, risks, discount rates, and relevant comparable market information associated with each financial instrument. The use of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the reported estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the amounts are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange.

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair value amounts and disclosures for financial instruments as of September 30, 2011:

•

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents reported in the consolidated balance sheet approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments (i.e., less than 90 days).

•

Restricted cash: The carrying amount of restricted cash reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments.

•

Rents and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and prepaid rents: The carrying amount of these assets and liabilities reported in the balance sheet approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these amounts.

•

Debt: As of September 30, 2011, the combined balance of the Company’s Unsecured Notes and mortgage notes payable was $696.1 million with a fair value of $714.4 million based on Level 1 and Level 3 data. The Level 1 data is for the Unsecured Notes and consisted of a quote from the market maker in the Unsecured Notes. The Level 3 data is for the ACC5 Term Loan and is based on discounted cash flows using the one-month LIBOR swap rate as of September 30, 2011 plus the 3.00% spread on the ACC5 Term loan.

13. Supplemental Consolidating Financial Data for Subsidiary Guarantors of the Unsecured Notes

On December 16, 2009, the Operating Partnership issued the Unsecured Notes (See Note 4). The Unsecured Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally on a senior unsecured basis by DFT and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, including the subsidiaries that own the ACC2, ACC3, ACC4, ACC5, ACC6, VA3, VA4, CH1 and NJ1 data centers, but excluding the subsidiaries that own the SC1 data center and the SC2 parcel of land, the ACC7 and ACC8 parcels of land, and the TRS. The following consolidating financial information sets forth the financial position as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 of the Operating Partnership, Subsidiary Guarantors and the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors (the “Subsidiary Non-Guarantors”).

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. The Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this report are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions relying upon information currently available to management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “result” and similar expressions, which do not relate solely to historical matters, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond the Company’s control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. The Company cautions investors that while forward-looking statements reflect its good faith beliefs when the Company makes them, they are not guarantees of future performance and are impacted by actual events when they occur after the Company makes such statements. The Company expressly disclaims any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.

For a detailed discussion of certain risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s future results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements, see Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011. You should also review the risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and identified in other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The risks and uncertainties discussed in these reports are not exhaustive. The Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment and new risk factors may emerge from time to time. It is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on the Company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as an accurate prediction of actual results.

Overview

DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. (the “REIT” or “DFT”) was formed on March 2, 2007 and is headquartered in Washington, D.C. DFT is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed company that owns, acquires, develops and operates wholesale data centers. DFT is the sole general partner of, and, as of September 30, 2011, owned 76.2% of the economic interest in, DuPont Fabros Technology, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership” or “OP” and collectively with DFT and their operating subsidiaries, the “Company”). The remaining 23.8% economic interest was owned by redeemable noncontrolling interests - operating partnership. DFT’s common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbol “DFT”. DFT’s Series A and Series B preferred stock also trade on the NYSE under the symbols “DFTPrA” and “DFTPrB”, respectively.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company owns and operates nine data centers: seven in Northern Virginia, one in suburban Chicago, Illinois and one in Piscataway, New Jersey. On October 1, 2011 the Company placed its tenth data center into service in Santa Clara, California. As discussed below, the Company also owns certain development properties and parcels of land that it is currently developing, or may develop in the future, into wholesale data centers. With this portfolio of operating and development properties, the Company believes that it is well positioned as a fully integrated wholesale data center provider, capable of developing, leasing, operating and managing the Company’s growing portfolio.

The Company has one data center currently under development, which is CH1 Phase II, located in suburban Chicago. The Company currently expects that CH1 Phase II will be completed in the first quarter of 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company capitalized $2.9 million of internal development and leasing costs on all of its data centers. The table below captioned “Development Projects” provides current estimates of the total costs to complete these development projects.

The following tables present certain data of the operating properties and development projects as of September 30, 2011:

(1)	Stabilized operating properties are either 85% or more leased or have been in service for 24 months or greater.

(2)

Gross building area is the entire building area, including raised square footage (the portion of gross building area where the tenants’ computer servers are located), tenant common areas, areas controlled by the Company (such as the mechanical, telecommunications and utility rooms) and, in some facilities, individual office and storage space leased on an as available basis to the tenants.

(3)	Raised square footage is that portion of gross building area where the tenants locate their computer servers. The Company considers raised square footage to be the net rentable square footage in each of its facilities.

(4)	Critical load (also referred to as IT load or load used by tenants’ servers or related equipment) is the power available for exclusive use by tenants expressed in terms of megawatt, or MW, or kilowatt, or kW (1 MW is equal to 1,000 kW).

(5)

Percentage leased is expressed as a percentage of critical load that is subject to an executed lease. Percentage commenced is expressed as a percentage of critical load where the lease has commenced under generally accepted accounting principles. Leases executed as of September 30, 2011 represent $188 million of base rent on a straight-line basis and $184 million on a cash basis over the next twelve months. This excludes contractual management fees and approximately $3 million net amortization increase in revenue of above and below market leases.

(6)	As of November 1, 2011, NJ1 Phase I was 34% leased.

Leasing Update

The Company derives substantially all of its revenue from rents received from tenants under existing leases at each of the operating properties. Because the Company believes that critical load is the primary factor used by tenants in evaluating data center requirements, rents are based primarily on the amount of power that is made available to tenants, rather than the amount of square feet or space that they occupy.

Each of the Company’s leases includes pass-through provisions under which tenants are required to pay for their pro rata share of most of the property-level operating expenses—commonly referred to as a triple net lease, such as real estate taxes and insurance. In addition, under the Company’s triple-net lease structure, tenants pay for only the power they use and power that is used to cool their space. The Company intends to continue to structure future leases as triple net leases. The Company’s leases also provide it with a property management fee based on a percentage of base rent collected and property-level operating expenses, other than charges for power used by tenants to run their servers and cool their space. The Company takes into account various factors when negotiating the terms of its lease, which can vary among leases, including the following factors: the tenant’s strategic importance, growth prospects and credit quality, the length of the lease term, the amount of power leased and competitive market conditions.

Although most of the Company’s leases provide for annual escalation of rents, generally at a rate of 3% or a function of the consumer price index, the Company’s revenue growth in the near term is expected to result primarily from the future leasing of vacant space in the Company’s operating properties and, once the Company’s current development project is completed, the commencement of pre-leases and the leasing of vacant space in that property.

The Company receives expense reimbursement from tenants only on space that is leased. Vacant space results in portions of the Company’s operating expenses being unreimbursed, which in turn negatively impacts revenues and net income. It is difficult for the Company to predict the timing in which vacant space in data center facilities will be leased and when those leases will commence. This uncertainty is particularly true with respect to the leasing of vacant space in data center facilities that are located in new markets for the Company – NJ1 Phase I in Piscataway, New Jersey and SC1 Phase I in Santa Clara, California.

In the third quarter of 2011, the Company executed three leases and pre-leases comprising a total of 5.01 MW of critical load and 27,767 raised square feet with an average lease term of 9.2 years. One of the leases was at NJ1 Phase I comprising 0.57 MW of critical load and 2,750 raised square feet, one lease was at ACC6 Phase I comprising 0.54 MW of critical load and 2,517 raised square feet and one pre-lease was at CH1 Phase II comprising 3.90 MW of critical load and 22,500 raised square feet. For the first nine months of 2011, the Company executed 11 leases and pre-leases comprising a total of 21.91 MW of critical load and 117,596 raised square feet. In the third quarter of 2011, the Company also renewed for an additional eight years a lease for 9.6 MW of critical load and 90,000 raised square feet which will now expire in 1.6 MW increments in 2020 through 2025.

The amount of rental income generated by the properties in the Company’s portfolio depends on its ability to maintain the lease rates of currently leased space and to re-lease space available from leases that expire or are terminated. Our three largest tenants comprised 56% of our annualized base rent as of September 30, 2011, and none of our three largest tenants’ leases have early termination rights. The Company expects these tenants to evaluate their lease expirations in the year before expiration is scheduled to occur against their anticipated need for server capacity and economic factors. If the Company cannot renew these leases at similar rates or attract replacement tenants on similar terms in a timely manner, the Company’s rental income could be impacted adversely in future periods.

The Company’s second largest tenant, Yahoo!, comprising 18.8% of the Company’s annualized base rent as of September 30, 2011, with lease expirations ranging from 2012 to 2019, informed the Company in June 2011 that it will not renew one of its leases comprising 3.3% of the Company’s consolidated annualized base rent as of September 30, 2011. This lease will expire on April 30, 2012 and the Company is actively marketing this space. This tenant’s next lease is scheduled to expire in the third quarter of 2015 and a third lease is scheduled to expire ratably in equal amounts in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

The Company’s operating properties are located in Northern Virginia, New Jersey, suburban Chicago, Illinois and Santa Clara, California. Changes in the conditions of these markets will impact the overall performance of the Company’s current and future operating properties and the Company’s ability to fully lease its properties. The ability of the Company’s tenants to fulfill their lease commitments could be impacted by future economic or regional downturns in the markets in which the Company operates or downturns in the technology industry. If these or other conditions cause a tenant to default on its payment or other obligations, the Company could elect to terminate the related lease.

The Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), DF Technical Services, LLC, generates revenue by providing certain technical services to the Company’s tenants on a non-recurring contract or purchase-order basis, which the Company refers to as “a la carte” services. Such services include the installation of circuits, racks, breakers and other tenant requested items. The TRS will generally charge tenants for these services on a cost-plus basis. Because the degree of utilization of the TRS for these services varies from period to period depending on the needs of the tenants for technical services, the Company has limited ability to forecast future

revenue from this source. Moreover, as a taxable corporation, the TRS is subject to federal, state and local corporate taxes and is not required to distribute its income, if any, to the Company for purposes of making additional distributions to DFT’s stockholders. Because demand for its services is unpredictable, the Company anticipates that the TRS may retain a significant amount of its cash to fund future operations, and therefore the Company does not expect to receive distributions from the TRS on a regular basis.

In the current economic environment, certain types of real estate are experiencing declines in value. If this trend were to be experienced by any of the Company’s data centers, the Company may have to write down the value of that data center, which would result in the Company recording a charge against earnings.

Results of Operations

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains stand-alone audited and unaudited financial statements and other financial data for each of DFT and the Operating Partnership. DFT is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of September 30, 2011, owned 76.2% of the partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, of which 1.1% is held as general partnership units. All of the Company’s operations are conducted by the Operating Partnership which is consolidated by DFT, and therefore the following information applies to both DFT and the Operating Partnership.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2010

Operating Revenue. Operating revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $73.8 million, reflecting an increase of $13.5 million, or 22.4%, compared to revenue of $60.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. This includes base rent of $48.4 million, tenant recoveries of $24.6 million, which includes our property management fee, and other revenue of $0.8 million. The increase in operating revenue reflects additional rent from new leases commencing at CH1 Phase I, the opening of ACC5 Phase II and NJ1 Phase I in November 2010 and the opening of ACC6 Phase I in September 2011.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $45.5 million, compared to $37.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase of $7.7 million, or 20.4%, was primarily due to the following: $4.3 million of increased operating costs, real estate taxes and insurance due to the opening of ACC5 Phase II and NJ1 Phase I in November 2010 and the opening of ACC6 Phase I in September 2011 and $3.3 million increase from depreciation and amortization from ACC5 Phase II, NJ1 Phase I and ACC6 Phase I.

Interest Expense. Interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs, for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $4.4 million compared to interest expense of $7.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Total interest incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $14.2 million, of which $9.8 million was capitalized, compared to $17.4 million for the corresponding period in 2010, of which $9.7 million was capitalized. The decrease in total interest incurred period over period was primarily due to lower overall debt balances following the Company’s Series A preferred stock offering in October 2010, the proceeds from which were used to pay off in full a $196.5 million term loan and lower interest rates on the ACC5 Term Loan. On July 29, 2011, the Company executed an amendment to the ACC5 Term Loan that, among other things, removed the 1.5% LIBOR floor and reduced the applicable margin to 3.00%.

Net Income Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests – Operating Partnership (DFT only). Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $4.4 million compared to $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Net Income Attributable to Common Shares. Net income attributable to common shares for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $13.9 million as compared to $10.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase of $3.1 million was primarily due to higher operating income from new leases commencing and lower interest expense, described above, partially offset by $5.6 million of the preferred stock dividends.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

Operating Revenue. Operating revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $213.0 million, reflecting an increase of $36.5 million, or 20.7%, compared to revenue of $176.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This includes base rent of $144.1 million, tenant recoveries of $67.0 million, which includes our property management fee, and other revenue of $1.9 million. The increase in operating revenue was due to new leases commencing at CH1 Phase I, the opening of ACC5 Phase II and NJ1 Phase I in November 2010 and the opening of ACC6 Phase I in September 2011.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $130.9 million, compared to $115.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase of $15.6 million, or 13.5%, was primarily due to the following: $9.0 million of increased operating costs, real estate taxes and insurance due to the opening of ACC5 Phase II and NJ1 Phase I in November 2010 and ACC6 Phase I in September 2011, $9.2 million increase from depreciation and amortization from ACC5 Phase II, NJ1 Phase I and ACC6 Phase I, $1.4 million of increased general and administrative expenses primarily for compensation and professional fees, partially offset by a decrease of $4.0 million of other expenses for non-recurring tenant projects.

Interest Expense. Interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $18.7 million compared to interest expense of $31.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Total interest incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $43.9 million, of which $25.2 million was capitalized, as compared to $51.6 million for the corresponding period in 2010, of which $20.4 million was capitalized. The decrease in total interest incurred period over period was primarily due to lower overall debt balances following the Company’s Series A preferred stock offering in October 2010, the proceeds from which were used to pay off in full a $196.5 million term loan and lower interest rates on the ACC5 Term Loan. Interest capitalized increased period over period as the Company spent more funds on development during the first nine months of 2011 than the year ago period. The Company will see a decrease in capitalized interest in the fourth quarter of 2011 as compared to the first three quarters of 2011 as two of our projects, SC1 Phase I and ACC6 Phase I, have been placed into service. This decrease in capitalized interest will continue into 2012, as CH1 Phase II is expected to be placed into service in the first quarter of 2012, unless the Company commences additional data center developments. The Company currently does not anticipate starting any new developments in 2011. The Company’s policy is to stop interest capitalization when projects are placed into service.

Net Income Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling interests – Operating Partnership (DFT only). Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $12.2 million as compared to $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase of $2.5 million was primarily due to higher operating income from new leases commencing and lower interest expense, described above, partially offset by $3.8 million of the preferred stock dividends related to the Company’s $185.0 million Series A and $101.3 million Series B preferred stock issued in October 2010 and March 2011, respectively, and a decrease in ownership of redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership due to OP unitholders redeeming 5.8 million OP units in exchange for an equal number of shares of DFT’s common stock during the period from January 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011.

Net Income Attributable to Common Shares. Net income attributable to common shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $36.4 million as compared to $21.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase of $15.4 million was primarily due to higher operating income from new leases commencing and lower interest expense, described above, partially offset by $15.3 million of the preferred stock dividends.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Discussion of Cash Flows

The discussion of cash flows below applies to both DFT and the Operating Partnership. The only difference between the cash flows of DFT and the Operating Partnership for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is a $4.3 million bank account at DFT that is not part of the Operating Partnership and a $0.2 million payment of offering expenses paid by DFT that is not reflected as a use of cash on the Operating Partnership’s cash flow statement.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $41.0 million to $103.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $62.1 million for the corresponding period in 2010. The increase is primarily due to new leases commencing at CH1 Phase I and ACC5 since the first quarter of 2010 and lower interest expense.

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $260.5 million to $348.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $88.4 million for the corresponding period in 2010. This increase primarily consisted of expenditures for projects under development. Development expenditures were $312.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 which is an increase by $167.1 million period over period. Also, interest capitalized for real estate under development increased by $4.6 million period over period to $24.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Development related expenditures are forecasted to decrease in the fourth quarter of 2011 as two of our projects, SC1 Phase I and ACC6 Phase I, have been placed into service. This decrease in development costs will continue into 2012, as CH1 Phase II is expected to be placed into service in the first quarter of 2012, unless the Company commences additional data center developments. The Company also acquired 23 acres of land held for future development at a cost of $9.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Expenditures for improvements to real estate were $3.1 million in the nine months ending September 30, 2011 which was comparable to the amount expended in the prior period. In addition during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company redeemed $139.0 million in marketable securities held to maturity and purchased $60.0 million of these securities. The Company had no redemptions or purchases of marketable securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $242.3 million to $50.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $293.0 million for the corresponding period in 2010. This decrease primarily consisted of $97.5 million of net proceeds from the issuance of 4.1 million shares of Series B preferred stock in 2011 offset by $305.2 million of net proceeds from the issuance of 13.8 million shares of common stock in 2010. Additionally the Company paid $43.2 million of dividends and distributions in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 versus $15.2 million in the year ago period.

Capital Resources

The development and construction of wholesale data centers is very capital intensive. This development not only requires the Company to make substantial capital investments, but also increases its operating expenses, which impacts its cash flows from operations negatively until leases are executed and the Company begins to collect cash rents from these leases. In addition, because DFT has elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, DFT is required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders annually.

The Company generally funds the cost of data center development from additional capital, which, for future developments, the Company would expect to obtain through unsecured and secured borrowings, construction financings and the issuance of additional preferred and/or common equity, when market conditions permit (such as the Company’s December 2009 unsecured note offering, May 2010 common stock offering and October 2010 and March 2011 perpetual preferred stock offerings). See the table above captioned “Development Projects” for the estimated total costs to complete some of the Company’s current development projects. Any increases in project development costs (including the cost of labor and materials and costs resulting from construction delays) and rising interest rates would increase the funds necessary to complete a project and, in turn, the amount of additional capital that the Company would need to raise. In determining the source of capital to meet the Company’s long-term liquidity needs, the Company will evaluate its level of indebtedness and covenants, in particular with respect to the covenants under the Company’s unsecured notes and unsecured line of credit, its expected cash flow from operations, the state of the capital markets, interest rates and other terms for borrowing, and the relative timing considerations and costs of borrowing or issuing equity securities.

In March 2011, the Company sold 4.1 million shares of 7.625% Series B cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock raising net proceeds of approximately $97.5 million. The Company is using the net proceeds from this offering, together with anticipated borrowings under its revolving credit facility, to complete the development of CH1 Phase II, which the Company currently anticipates will be completed in the first quarter of 2012. As of November 1, 2011, the Company has not borrowed under its line of credit to fund the development of CH1 Phase II. Borrowings of a portion of the line of credit are anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2011 to complete the development of CH1Phase II.

The ability to pay dividends to stockholders is dependent on the receipt of distributions from the Operating Partnership, which in turn is dependent on the data center properties generating operating income. The indenture that governs the Company’s unsecured notes limits DFT’s ability to pay dividends, but allows DFT to pay the minimum necessary to meet its REIT income distribution requirements. The Company’s current estimate of 2011 cash dividends on its common stock is $0.48 per share, of which the Company has paid $0.36 per common share as of November 1, 2011.

(1)

Funds from operations, or FFO, is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure for REITs. The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the definition that was adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus specified non-cash items, such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

The Company uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared period over period, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating expenses. The Company also believes that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of equity REITs, FFO may be used by investors as a basis to compare the Company’s operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes real estate related depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of the Company’s properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company’s properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact the Company’s results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of the Company’s performance is limited.

While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of equity REITs, other equity REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO and, accordingly, FFO as disclosed by such other REITs may not be comparable to the Company’s FFO. Therefore, the Company believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of its historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented in the consolidated statements of operations. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or to cash flow from operating activities (each as computed in accordance with GAAP) or as an indicator of the Company’s liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to meet the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to pay dividends or make distributions.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates.

If interest rates were to increase by 1%, the increase in interest expense on the Company’s variable rate debt outstanding as of September 30, 2011 would decrease future net income and cash flows by $1.5 million annually less the impact of capitalization of interest incurred on the Company’s net income. Because one month LIBOR was approximately 0.2% at September 30, 2011, a decrease of 0.2% would increase future net income and cash flows by $0.3 million annually less the impact of capitalization of interest incurred on the Company’s net income. Interest risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on the Company’s financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, the Company may take specific actions to further mitigate its exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in the Company’s financial structure.

Pursuant to the ACC5 Term Loan agreement, the Operating Partnership is required to enter into an interest rate protection agreement upon the earlier to occur of (i) 30 days following the date on which U.S. dollar one month LIBOR equals or exceeds 3.75% or (ii) the occurrence of a default under the ACC5 Term Loan.
