  (1)   On October 1, 1998, the Company acquired Worldwide Plaza from an
        unaffiliated party. The $578.0 million purchase price specified in
        the purchase contract was adjusted to $624.6 million for the
        following: (a) the assumption of a $268.6 million mortgage with an
        estimated mark to market adjustment of $11.2 million; (b) the
        assumption of a deferred real estate tax liability (a portion of which 
        is expected to be received from tenants) with a present value of
        approximately $31.2 million; (c) the issuance of 6,861,166 Units with
        an estimated fair value of $171.9 million based on a fair value of
        $25.05 per Unit; (d) a cash payment of approximately $110.1 million;
        (e) closing and transaction costs of approximately $4.2 million; and
        (f) the issuance of a transferable put option on the Units exercisable
        only on the third anniversary of closing with an estimated fair value
        of $27.4 million. This option entitles its holder to additional Common
        Shares, the number of which shall be determined using a formula based
        on the extent, if any, that the Common Shares are then trading at less
        than $29.05 per share.

  (2)   On December 17, 1998, the Company acquired a leasehold interest in the
        Forbes Garage and Allies Garage. The transaction was accounted for as a

        fee of $28.0 million, the present value of the future minimum lease
        payments of $2,389 and closing costs of $862.

The Board of Trustees                            
Equity Office Properties Trust

We have audited the accompanying Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses of
Park Avenue Tower (the Property) as described in Note 2 for the year ended
December 31, 1997. The Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses is the
responsibility of the Property's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses is free
from material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures made in the Statement of Revenue
and Certain Expenses. An audit also includes assessing the basis of accounting
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses was prepared for the
purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, for inclusion in a Current Report on Form 8-K of Equity
Office Properties Trust as described in Note 1, and is not intended to be a
complete presentation of the Property's revenue and expenses.

In our opinion, the Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses referred to above
presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses
described in Note 1 of the Property for the year ended December 31, 1997, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                               PARK AVENUE TOWER
               NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES



1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses were prepared
for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission for inclusion in a Current Report on Form 8-K of Equity
Office Properties Trust. The accompanying statements are not representative of
the actual operations of the property, as described in Note 2, for the periods
presented nor indicative of future operations as certain expenses, primarily
depreciation, amortization and interest expense, which may not be comparable to
the expenses expected to be incurred by Equity Office Properties Trust in future
operations of the property, have been excluded.

Revenue and Expense Recognition

     Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the
related leases. Expenses are recognized in the period in which they are
incurred.

Use of Estimates

     The preparation of the statements of revenue and certain expenses in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the revenue
and certain expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
from these estimates.

Unaudited Interim Statement

     In the opinion of management, the interim financial statement reflects all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim
period. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.



2.   DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

     The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses relate to the
operations of Park Avenue Tower, an office building with approximately 551,000
rentable square feet, located in New York City, New York (the "Property"). A
single tenant, IBM, leased approximately 56% of the building as of December 31,
1997. On July 15, 1998, Equity Office Properties Trust acquired the mortgage
encumbering the Property for approximately $245 million from an unrelated party.



3.   RENTALS

     The Property has entered into tenant leases that provide for tenants to
share in the operating expenses and real estate taxes on a pro rata basis, as
defined.

               NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES



4.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     During January and February of the year ended December 31, 1997, the
Property was managed by an affiliate of the owner of the Property. The
management fees paid to the affiliate were approximately $158,000 (2.5% of
gross revenue).

     In 1997, fees of approximately $460,500 were paid for security services,
$1,352,100 was paid for contractual cleaning services and $9,800 was paid
for non-contractual cleaning services to affiliates of the owner of the
Property. The affiliates are related to the owner of the Property through
common ownership.

          NOTES TO COMBINED STATEMENTS OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES


1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying combined statements of revenue and certain expenses were
prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in a Current Report on Form 8-K
of Equity Office Properties Trust. The accompanying statements are not
representative of the actual operations of the property, as described in Note 2,
for the periods presented nor indicative of future operations as certain
expenses, primarily depreciation, amortization and interest expense, which may
not be comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred by Equity Office
Properties Trust in future operations of the property, have been excluded.

Revenue and Expense Recognition

     Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the
related leases. Expenses are recognized in the period in which they are
incurred.

Use of Estimates

     The preparation of the combined statements of revenue and certain expenses
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the
revenue and certain expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could
differ from these estimates.

Unaudited Interim Statement

     In the opinion of management, the interim financial statement reflects all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim
period. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

4.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Property was managed by an affiliated 
party to the previous owner of the office property. The management fees paid to 
the affiliate were approximately $750,000 (approximately 1.0% of gross revenue).

For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Amenities received $245,004 in
reimbursements for maintenance and security services from a residential
condominium which is attached to the Property. For the year ended December 31,
1997, the Amenities paid $263,968 to the residential condominium for its share
of general common area expenses and cooling tower expenses.


5.   REAL ESTATE TAXES

The Property has been granted a real estate tax deferral under the Industrial
and Commercial Incentive Program ("ICIP") of the City of New York. The benefits
available for commercial projects are based on an exemption base which is the
increased assessed value due to the improvements made during the first three
years of the benefit period. The ICIP extends over a 20-year benefit period with
tax deferred benefits to the Property as follows:

In the first three benefit years, there is a 100% deferral of the real estate
taxes resulting from the increase in assessed value due to improvements. In
years 4 to 7, the amount of real estate taxes that were deferred is decreased by
20% per year. In years 8 to 10, there are no deferral benefits, but previously
deferred taxes are not due. During years 11 to 20, the total amount of deferred
real estate taxes (applicable to years 1 to 7) is repaid at a rate of 10% per
year. As of July 1, 1997, the Property began its tenth year of the 20-year
benefit period.
