REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

 

To the Board of Trustees of

Washington Real Estate Investment Trust

 

We have audited the accompanying Historical Summary of Gross Income and Direct Operating Expenses of Prosperity Medical Center (“Historical Summary”) for the year ended December 31, 2002. This Historical Summary is the responsibility of the Property’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Historical Summary 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 Historical Summary is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Summary. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Summary. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

The accompanying Historical Summary was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as described in Note 2, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of Prosperity’s revenues and expenses.

 

In our opinion, the Historical Summary referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the gross income and direct operating expenses described in Note 2 of Prosperity Medical Center for the year ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

PROSPERITY MEDICAL CENTER

 

NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF GROSS INCOME AND

DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES

 

DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND THE NINE MONTHS

ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 (UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1—NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Prosperity Medical Center, completed during 2002, is comprised of three multi-story office buildings containing approximately 255,000 rentable square feet, a free standing parking garage, and an adjacent parking lot, located in Merrifield, Virginia. The operations of Prosperity Medical Center consist of leasing office space to various tenants.

 

NOTE 2—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Washington Real Estate Investment Trust purchased Prosperity Medical Center in October 2003. The Historical Summary has been prepared for the purpose of complying with Regulation S-X, Rule 3-14 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which requires certain information with respect to real estate operations acquired to be included with certain filings with the SEC. This Historical Summary includes the historical gross income and direct operating expenses of Prosperity Medical Center, exclusive of the following expenses which may not be comparable to the proposed future operations:

 

  (a) Interest expense on existing mortgages and borrowings
  (b) Depreciation of property and equipment
  (c) Management and leasing fees
  (d) Certain corporate and administrative expenses
  (e) Provisions for income taxes

 

NOTE 3—USE OF ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding revenues and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results could differ from estimated amounts.


NOTE 4—DESCRIPTION OF LEASING ARRANGEMENTS

 

All leases are classified as operating leases and expire at various dates through 2014. The following is a schedule by years of future minimum rents receivable on noncancelable operating leases in effect as of December 31, 2002:

 

2003

   $ 6,291,773

2004

     6,456,976

2005

     6,627,418

2006

     6,669,627

2007

     6,722,659

Thereafter

     26,250,024
    

     $ 59,018,477
    

 

During the year ended December 31, 2002, two tenants accounted for approximately 23.7% of the total base rents.

 

NOTE 5—INTERIM UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The Historical Summary for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statement for the interim period have been included. The results of the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year.


WASHINGTON REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST

 

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET AND

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 2003 presents consolidated financial information as if the acquisition had taken place on September 30, 2003. The pro forma statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002, and the nine months ended September 30, 2003, present the pro forma results of operations as if the acquisition had taken place as of the beginning of the respective reporting periods.

 

WRIT purchased Prosperity Medical Center on October 9, 2003.

 

The unaudited consolidated pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what WRIT’s actual results of operations or financial position would have been had this transaction been consummated on the dates indicated, nor does it purport to represent WRIT’s results of operations or financial position for any future period. The results of operations for the periods ended December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for these periods.

 

The unaudited consolidated pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with WRIT’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 17, 2003, announcing the acquisition of Prosperity Medical Center; the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in WRIT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002; WRIT’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2003; and the Historical Summary of Gross Income and Direct Operating Expenses and Notes included elsewhere in this Form 8-K/A. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect this transaction have been made.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA BALANCE SHEET

 

(1) WRIT accounted for the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS 141, “Business Combinations.” WRIT allocates the purchase price to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and, if material, identified intangible assets and liabilities consisting of the value attributable to customer relationships, and the value of leases in place based on their fair values.

(2) The line of credit/short-term note payable balance at September 30, 2003 already reflects the borrowing of $1.5 million on August 27, 2003 under WRIT’s Credit Facility No. 1 for an earnest deposit toward the purchase price. On October 8, 2003, WRIT increased its $60.0 million unsecured term note executed on August 7, 2003, to $90.0 million and borrowed $27.0 million under this increased facility to fund a portion of the purchase price. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread based on WRIT’s credit rating on its publicly issued debt. Funding for the remainder of the purchase price was provided by the assumption of existing mortgages on the properties totaling $49.7 million. The $36.0 million mortgage note payable outstanding on the property and improvements at 8501-8503 Arlington Blvd. bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.36% per annum and is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest determined using a 30-year amortization schedule. The $13.7 million mortgage note payable outstanding secured by the property and improvements at 8505 Arlington Blvd. bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.34% per annum and is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest determined using a 30 year amortization schedule. Both of the assumed mortgages mature May 1, 2013, with the outstanding principal balance on each loan due and payable at that time.

 

(3) Adjustments to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet represent cash paid and security deposits collected at closing, and the assumption of certain prepaid expenses and liabilities, including real estate and personal property taxes and tenant rents.
