Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits

      (a)    Pro Forma Financial Statements

           The pro forma financial statements of the Company reflecting the
           above transactions are included on pages F-2 to F-6.

      (b)    Historical Financial Statements

           The Historical Summary of Gross Income for the Shadelands Drive
           Headquarters Property is included on pages F-7 to F-9. The Historical
           Summary of Gross Income for the Lockheed Martin Office/R&D Property
           is included on pages F-10 to F-12. The Historical Summary of Gross
           Income for the Sunnyvale Research Center is included on pages F-13 to
           F-15. The Historical Summary of Gross Income for the Lam Research
           Office/R&D Property is not included because this property was not
           occupied by Lam Research until February of 1996 and prior to that the
           property was unoccupied for certain periods during 1995. Accordingly,
           1995 historical results do not reflect any on-going operations of the
           property. The Blue Cross & Blue Shield United of Wisconsin 
           acquisition was a sale lease-back and therefore no historical 
           financial information is available for this property.

1.     Basis of Presentation

The pro forma financial statements of TriNet Corporate Realty Trust, Inc. (the
"Company"), which are unaudited, have been prepared based on the historical
financial statements of the Company. The pro forma statements of operations for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1995 have
been prepared as if the acquisitions of the Acquired Properties between April 1,
1996 and July 3, 1996 and the sales of the Sold Properties between April 1, 1996
and July 3, 1996 had occurred on January 1, 1995. The pro forma balance sheet
as of June 30, 1996 has been prepared as if the acquisitions of the Acquired
Properties and the sales of the Sold Properties had occurred on June 30, 1996.
In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of
these transactions have been made. The pro forma financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Company.

The pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what the
actual results of operations of the Company would have been for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 or for the year ended December 31, 1995 had the transactions
involving the Acquired Properties and the Sold Properties occurred on January 1,
1995, nor do they purport to represent the results of operations for future
periods.

2. Pro Forma Adjustments:

A. Reflects the sale of the Linvatec property and the subsequent payment of
   $10,895 on the 1995 Acquisition Facility.

B. Additional rental revenue in 1996 is attributable to the Acquired Properties,
   excluding the properties held by Sunnyvale Partners, offset by the decrease
   attributable to the Sold Properties.

C. Joint venture income in 1996 is attributable to the Company's interest in the
   Sunnyvale Partners. Net income from the partnership is distributed first to
   the limited partners to satisfy a 9% preferred return on their investment,
   with the remaining income allocated 99% to the Company and 1% to the limited
   partners.

D. Additional interest expense in 1996 is calculated to reflect: (1) the net
   draw amount of $37,316 on the Company's 1995 Acquisition Facility in
   connection with the acquisition of the Acquired Properties offset by the sale
   proceeds of the Linvatec property, computed at the weighted average interest
   rate in effect under the 1995 Acquisition Facility during the six months
   ended June 30, 1996, and (2) the payment of $950 on a mortgage loan upon the
   sale of the Schwegmann Giant Super Markets property.

E. Additional depreciation expense in 1996 is calculated to reflect: (1)
   additional depreciation on the Acquired Properties, excluding the properties
   held by Sunnyvale Partners, and (2) elimination of depreciation attributable
   to the Sold Properties. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
   method of cost recovery over 40 years for building and improvements.

F. Additional rental revenue in 1995 is attributable to the Acquired Properties,
   excluding the properties held by Sunnyvale Partners, offset by the decrease
   attributable to the Sold Properties.

G. Joint venture income in 1995 is attributable to the Company's interest in
   Sunnyvale Partners. Net income from the partnership is distributed first to
   the limited partners to satisfy a 9% preferred return on their investment,
   with the remaining income allocated 99% to the Company and 1% to the limited
   partners.

H. Additional interest expense in 1995 is calculated to reflect: (1) the net
   draw amount of $37,316 on the Company's 1995 Acquisition Facility in
   connection with the acquisition of the Acquired Properties offset by the sale
   proceeds of the Linvatec property, computed at the average London Interbank
   Offered Rate for the year ended December 31, 1995, plus a margin of 2.00% and
   (2) the payment of $950 on a mortgage loan upon the sale of the Schwegmann
   Giant Super Markets property.

I. Additional depreciation expense in 1995 is calculated to reflect: (1)
   additional depreciation on the Acquired Properties, excluding the properties
   held by Sunnyvale Partners, and (2) elimination of depreciation attributable
   to the Sold Properties. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
   method of cost recovery over 40 years for building and improvements.

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 Historical Summary is free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts

basis of the accounting used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Summary. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Historical Summary was prepared for the purpose of complying
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as
described in Note A. The Historical Summary is not intended to be a complete
presentation of the Property's gross income and expenses and may not be
comparable to results from proposed future operations of the Property.

                   NOTES TO HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF GROSS INCOME
                      FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

A.    Property and Basis of Accounting

      The accompanying Historical Summary of Gross Income has been prepared in
      accordance with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange
      Commission and relates to the operations of the Shadelands Drive property
      (the "Property"). The Property consists of two office buildings comprising
      145,000 square feet in Walnut Creek, California.

      During 1995, the Property was leased to Teradyne, Inc. under a triple net
      lease expiring on December 31, 2000. One building, comprising 85,000
      square feet was subleased to Fresenius USA, Inc. ("Fresenius") under a
      sublease expiring in June of 1996. These leases provided for the tenants
      to pay all operating expenses and, accordingly, no operating expenses are
      included in the Historical Summary of Gross Income. Rental income has been
      reduced by $459,601 as a result of the straight-line adjustment for the
      difference between straight-line rents and contractual rent payments.

B.    Subsequent Event

      In connection with the acquisition of the Property by TriNet Corporate
      Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company"), Fresenius entered into a direct triple
      net lease with the Company expiring June 30, 2002.

      The Property is subject to a net lease that expires in August, 2000 and
      provides for the tenant to pay all expenses. Therefore, no operating
      expenses have been presented in the Historical Summary. Rental income has
      been reduced by $184,532 as a result of the straight-line adjustment for
      differences between straight-line rents and contractual rent payments.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors
TriNet Corporate Realty Trust, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying Historical Summary of Gross Income (the
"Historical Summary") of the Sunnyvale Research Center, Sunnyvale, California
(the "Property") for the year ended December 31, 1995. The Historical Summary is
the responsibility of the Property's owner. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Historical Summary 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 Historical Summary is free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the Historical Summary. An audit also includes assessing the
basis of the accounting used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Summary. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Historical Summary was prepared for the purpose of complying
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as
described in Note A. The Historical Summary is not intended to be a complete
presentation of the Property's gross income and expenses and may not be
comparable to results from proposed future operations of the Property.

In our opinion, the Historical Summary referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects, the gross income as described in Note A, of the Sunnyvale
Research Center, Sunnyvale, California, for the year ended December 31, 1995, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF GROSS INCOME

A.    Property and Basis of Accounting

      The accompanying Historical Summary of Gross Income (the "Historical
      Summary") has been prepared in accordance with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X
      of the Securities and Exchange Commission and relates to the operations of
      the Sunnyvale Research Center (the "Property"). The Property consists of a
      four-building R&D campus comprised of 215,481 square feet in Sunnyvale,
      California.

      During 1995, the Property was owned by O'Donnell, Brigham &
      Partners-Northern Developments ("O'Donnell"). The accompanying Historical
      Summary includes only recurring operating revenue attributable to the
      leases described below and excludes debt service (Note B) and other
      non-operating expenses of O'Donnell.

      The Property is subject to three net leases that expire in July 2002,
      August 2000, and January 1998 respectively, and each provides for the
      tenant to pay substantially all expenses. Therefore, no operating expenses
      have been presented in the Historical Summary. Rental income includes
      $187,865 resulting from the straight-line adjustment for scheduled rent
      increases.

B.    Note payable

      The Property is encumbered by a non-recourse first mortgage with Chase
      Manhattan Bank maturing in April 1998. At December 31, 1995, this mortgage
      had a principal balance of $23,560,593. Interest on the mortgage is due
      monthly at the London Interbank Offered Rate plus a margin of 2.00%. In
      connection with the acquisition of this property by TriNet Sunnyvale
      Partners, L.P., a principal payment of $6,047,345 was made resulting in a
      principal balance of $17,000,000 being assumed by TriNet Sunnyvale
      Partners L.P.
