REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Brandywine Realty Trust:
We have audited the combined statement of revenue and certain expenses of Main
Street Properties (the "Properties") described in Note 1 for the year ended
December 31, 1996. This financial statement is the responsibility of management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement 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 financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The combined 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 Brandywine
Realty Trust as described in Note 1 and is not intended to be a complete
presentation of the Properties' revenue and expenses.
In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in
all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses of the Properties for
the year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

MAIN STREET PROPERTIES
NOTES TO COMBINED STATEMENT OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
DECEMBER 31, 1996
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The combined statement of revenue and certain expenses reflects the operations
of the Main Street Properties (the "Properties"), located in Voorhees, New
Jersey. These properties are expected to be acquired by Brandywine Realty Trust
(the "Company") from Radnor Canuso Partnership ("RCP") in February 1997. The
Properties have an aggregate net rentable area of approximately 235,000 square
feet (96% leased as of December 31, 1996) and four undeveloped land sites. This
combined statement of revenue and certain expenses is to be included in the
Company's Current Report on Form 8-K as the acquisition has been deemed
significant pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
The accounting records of the Properties are maintained on a modified cash
basis. Adjusting entries have been made to present the accompanying financial
statement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
accompanying financial statement excludes certain expenses such as interest,
depreciation and amortization, professional fees, and other costs not directly
related to the future operations of the Properties.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. OPERATING LEASES:
Base rents presented for the year ended December 31, 1996, include straight-line
adjustments for rental revenue increases in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. The aggregate rental revenue increase resulting from the
straight-line adjustment for the year ended December 31, 1996, was $62,000
(unaudited).
F-13
<PAGE>
Tenants whose minimum rental payments were equal to 10% or more of total base
rents in 1996 are as follows:
Dean Witter $ 343,000
Credit Lenders 340,000
The Properties are leased to tenants under operating leases with expiration
dates extending to the year 2004. Future minimum rentals under noncancelable
operating leases, excluding tenant reimbursements of operating expenses as of
December 31, 1996, are as follows:
1997 $3,009,000
1998 3,130,000
1999 2,514,000
2000 1,788,000
2001 1,282,000
Thereafter 1,723,000
Certain leases also include provisions requiring tenants to reimburse the
Company for management costs and other operating expenses up to stipulated
amounts.
3. COMMITMENTS:
The Properties include four undeveloped land sites as part of a condominium
association at December 31, 1996. The owner of the Properties is responsible for
payment of unallocated expenses as a result of this undeveloped land. The
unallocated expenses recorded during the year totaled approximately $286,000 and
are included in maintenance and other operating expenses in the accompanying
combined statement of revenue and certain expenses.
