Independent Auditors’ Report


To the Board of Trustees of
Washington Real Estate Investment Trust


We have audited the accompanying financial statement of Arlington Tower, 1300 N. 17th Street, Rosslyn, Virginia (the “Property”) owned by Washington Real Estate Investment Trust, which comprises the statement of revenues and certain expenses (the "Statement"), for the year ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes to the financial statement.

Management’s Responsibility for the Statement

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statement in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statement that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statement based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statement in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statement.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses described in Note 1 to the Statement for the year ended December 31, 2017, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.






Basis of Presentation

As discussed in Note 1 to the Statement, the accompanying Statement was prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for inclusion in the current report Form 8-K/A of Washington Real Estate Investment Trust, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Property’s revenues and expenses. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Arlington Tower

Notes to the Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses

For the Year Ended December 31, 2017



Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

Arlington Tower (the “Property”) is a 19-story office building consisting of approximately 398,000 square feet of rentable office space with a parking garage located on 1300 N. 17th Street Rosslyn, Virginia. The accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses (the “Statement”) includes the operations of the Property, which primarily consist of leasing office space to 45 tenants. Washington Real Estate Investment Trust (“Washington REIT”) purchased the Property in early 2018.

The accompanying Statement relates to the Property and have been prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X, promulgated by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which requires certain information with respect to real estate operations acquired to be included with certain filings made by Washington REIT with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the Statement is not representative of the actual operations of the Property for the year presented, as revenues and certain expenses, which may not be directly attributable to the revenues and expenses expected to be incurred in the future operations of the Property have been excluded. The revenues and certain expenses of the Property are presented exclusive of the following revenue and expenses, which may not be comparable to the future operations:

a)
Interest expense on mortgages and borrowings, in existence prior to acquisition by Washington REIT

b)
Depreciation of property and equipment

c)
Certain corporate and administrative expenses

d)
Provision for income taxes

e)
Other miscellaneous revenue and expenses not directly related to the future operations of the Property, including interest income


Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition - The Property reports base rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term, when collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession of or controls the physical use of the leased space. Base rent consists of minimum rental payments made by tenants, adjusted for minimum escalations in annual rent and tenant concessions. The Property accounts for leases with its tenants as operating leases as substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership of the Property under lease have not been transferred to the respective tenants. Expense recoveries include real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, and other operating expenses and are recognized in the period in which they occur, and are computed based on final operating expenses for the year in accordance with the lease agreements. The reimbursements are presented gross, as the Property has discretion in selecting the third-party service provider or supplier and bears the associated credit risk as the primary obligor in purchasing the goods and services. Parking revenue is recognized as services are rendered. As of December 31, 2017, the occupancy of the building was approximately 83 percent.

Advertising - Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of the Statement in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and certain expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated amounts.

In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect these acquisitions and related transactions have been made.

The unaudited consolidated pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what Washington REIT's actual results of operations would have been had the transaction been consummated on the dates indicated, nor does it purport to represent Washington REIT's results of operations or financial position for any future period.
