               INFORMATION PURSUANT TO RULE 3-14 OF REGULATION S-X


      MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT

      Management's  assessment of the Properties prior to acquisition  includes,
but is not limited to, the quality of the tenant  base,  regional  demographics,
the  competitive  environment,  operating  expenses and local property taxes. In
addition, the physical aspect of the Properties, location, condition and quality
of design and construction are evaluated.  Management also conducts  engineering
and environmental studies. All factors, when viewed in their entirety,  have met
management's  acquisition  criteria.  Management  is not  aware of any  material
factors relating to the acquisitions other than those discussed above.

      ESTIMATES OF TAXABLE OPERATING INCOME AND
      FUNDS GENERATED FROM OPERATIONS

      No income taxes have been provided because Cornerstone  Properties Inc. is
taxed as a real estate  investment  trust under the  provisions  of the Internal
Revenue Code. Accordingly,  Cornerstone does not pay Federal income tax whenever
income  distributed  to  stockholders  is equal to at least  95% of real  estate
investment trust taxable income and certain other conditions are met.

      The following  presents an estimate of cash generated from operations from
the  Properties  for the year ended  December  31,  1996  based on the  Combined
Statements of Revenues and Certain Operating  Expenses.  These estimated results
do not purport to present  expected  results of operations for the Properties in
the future and were prepared on the basis  described in the  accompanying  notes
which should be read in conjunction herewith.
