                         Report of Independent Auditors


Mr. Joel L. Teglia, Chief Financial Officer
Banyan Strategic Realty Trust


We have audited the Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses of Woodcrest
Office Park (the Property) for the eleven months ended November 30, 1995.  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 of material misstatement.  An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses.  An
audit also includes assessing the basis of accounting used and the 
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 as described in Note 2 and is not intended to be a complete
presentation of the Property's results of operations.

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 2 of Woodcrest Office Park for the eleven months ended
November 30, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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.  The statement is not representative of the actual
operations of the Property for the period presented nor indicative of future
operations as certain expenses namely mortgage and other interest expense,
depreciation, amortization, and income taxes, if any, which may not be
comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred by the Trust in the future
operations of the Property, have been excluded.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the
leases.

3.    RENTALS

The Property has entered into tenant leases with terms of up to ten years. 
Certain leases provide for tenants to share in increases in operating expenses
and real estate taxes in excess of base amounts, as defined.

                              Woodcrest Office Park
                     Notes to Estimated Pro Forma Statement



1)    This statement does not purpose to forecast actual operating results for
      any period in the future and thus, the following assumptions may not be
      valid for future years and actual results may differ.  These statements
      should be read in conjunction with the Statement of Revenue and Certain
      Expenses for the eleven months ended November 30, 1995 which were
      annualized and modified by Management for known changes in revenues and
      expenses associated with the Registrant's ownership of the Property in
      order to estimate the pro forma statement.

2)    Depreciation expense which represents a non-cash expenditure has been
      included for informational purposes only.  Depreciation is calculated on a
      depreciable basis of approximately $7,965,000 using the straight line
      method based on a useful life of 40 years.

3)    The Property will be managed by an unaffiliated third party for an initial
      management fee of 4.0% of gross revenues.

4)    Funds From Operations (or "FFO") has been provided in the Pro Forma
      Statement as supplemental information to the property's projected
      operating results.  FFO is used by the real estate investment trust
      industry as a measure of a property's performance and is defined as net
      operating income from a property's operations, plus certain non-cash items
      including depreciation and amortization and excluding any extraordinary
      capital items.
