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 Albemarle Point (“Historical Summary”) for the year ended December 31, 2004. 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 Albemarle Point’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 Albemarle Point for the year ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ALBEMARLE POINT

NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF GROSS INCOME AND

DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES

DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND THE SIX MONTHS

ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS

Albemarle Point is a 29-acre business park consisting of six buildings located in Chantilly, Virginia. The operations of Albemarle Point consist of leasing office and industrial/flex space to various tenants.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Washington Real Estate Investment Trust purchased Albemarle Point in July 2005. 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 Albemarle Point, 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 2015. The following is a schedule by years of future minimum rents receivable on noncancelable operating leases in effect as of December 31, 2004:

2005 5,278,000
2006 5,626,000
2007 5,785,000
2008 5,593,000
2009 4,685,000
Thereafter 15,750,000
$ 42,717,000

During the year ended December 31, 2004, six tenants accounted for approximately 77% of the total base rents.

NOTE 5 - INTERIM UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Historical Summary for the six months ended June 30, 2005 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 June 30, 2005 presents consolidated financial information as if the acquisition had taken place on June 30, 2005. The pro forma statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004, and the six months ended June 30, 2005, 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 Albemarle Point on July 29, 2005.

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, 2004 and June 30, 2005 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 August 4, 2005, announcing the acquisition of Albemarle Point; the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in WRIT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004; WRIT’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2005; 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.

These fees are payable quarterly. Advances under this agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread based on the credit rating on our publicly issued debt.

Funding for the remainder of the purchase price was provided by cash on hand.
