                         Report of Independent Auditors


To the Board of Directors
Cornerstone Properties Inc.

We have audited the  Statement  of Revenues and Certain  Expenses of 527 Madison
Avenue (the  Property) as  described  in Note 2 for the year ended  December 31,
1996. The Statement of Revenues and Certain  Expenses is the  responsibility  of
the Property's  management.  Our  responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Statement of Revenues 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 Revenues and Certain  Expenses is free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and  disclosures in the Statement of Revenues and Certain
Expenses.  An audit also includes  assessing the accounting  principles used and
estimates made by management,  as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the  Statement  of Revenues  and  Certain  Expenses.  We believe  that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses was prepared for the
purpose  of  complying  with the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission  described  in Note 2 and is not  intended to be a complete
presentation of the Property's revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses referred to above
presents fairly, in all material respects,  the revenues and certain expenses as
described in Note 2 for the year ended  December 31, 1996,  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

The  accompanying  statement  of revenue and certain  expenses  for 1995 was not
audited by us and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion on it.

                  Notes to the Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses

                                December 31, 1996



1. Business

The  accompanying  Statement  of Revenue  and  Certain  Expenses  relates to the
operations of 527 Madison  Avenue (the  Property).  The Property was acquired on
February 14, 1997 by Cornerstone Properties Inc.  ("Cornerstone").  The Property
was previously owned by 527 Madison Holdings, a New York general partnership.


2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses was prepared for the
purpose  of  complying  with the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission.  Accordingly,  the financial  statement  excludes  certain
expenses  that  may not be  comparable  to  those  expected  to be  incurred  by
Cornerstone in the proposed future  operations of the  aforementioned  property.
Items  excluded  consist of  depreciation,  amortization,  interest  and certain
non-operating expenses.

The  preparation  of the  Statement  of the  Revenues  and  Certain  Expenses in
conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Statement
of Revenues and Certain  Expenses and accompanying  notes.  Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

3. Rental Income

Rental  income is  recognized  on a  straight-line  basis  over the terms of the
related leases  inclusive of free rent, if any, and lease  step-ups.  The leases
provide for the  reimbursement  of real estate taxes and in most cases,  provide
for certain operating expenses in excess of base amounts.  These  reimbursements
and  applicable  costs have been  reflected in the  statement of  operations  as
revenues and expenses,  respectively.  For the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995, approximately $545,317 and $(223,241) (unaudited) is netted with income as
a result of straight-lining of rents.

The following is a schedule by years of minimum future rentals on noncancellable
operating  leases at December 31, 1996,  exclusive of  additional  rental income
which will result from escalations:

          1997                                        $10,220,943
          1998                                          9,831,871

                ------------------------------------------------


      MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT

      Management's  assessment of the Properties prior to acquisition  includes,
but it 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  shareholders  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 funds generated from operations from
125 Summer Street,  Tower 56, One Lincoln Centre,  the Frick  Building,  and 527
Madison  Avenue for the year ended  December 31, 1995 based on the Statements of
Revenues and Certain Expenses and actual results. 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.

              PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              -----------------------------------------------------
                                  (UNAUDITED)

      The following unaudited pro forma condensed  consolidated balance sheet as
of September 30, 1996 reflects the acquisition of One Lincoln Centre,  the Frick
Building,  and 527 Madison  Avenue as if the  transactions  had occurred on that
date.

      The pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year
ended December 31, 1995 and the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 assume the
acquisition  of 125 Summer  Street,  Tower 56,  One  Lincoln  Centre,  the Frick
Building,  and 527  Madison  Avenue as if they had  occurred on January 1, 1995.
This pro forma information is based on the historical  statements of Cornerstone
after giving effect to the acquisition of these Properties.

      The unaudited pro forma condensed  consolidated  financial statements have
been prepared by Cornerstone Properties Inc. management. The unaudited pro forma
condensed  consolidated  statement of  operations  may not be  indicative of the
results that would have actually  occurred had the acquisitions been made on the
dates  indicated.  Also,  it may not be  indicative  of the results  that may be
achieved in the future. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with  Cornerstone's  audited statements
as of December  31,  1995 and for the year then ended  (which are  contained  in
Cornerstone's  Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995) and the unaudited
financial statements as of September 30, 1996 and for the nine months then ended
(which are contained in  Cornerstone's  Form 10-Q for the period ended September
30, 1996) and the accompanying notes.
