INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
Columbia Property Trust, Inc.
Atlanta, Georgia
We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain operating expenses of 1800 M Street Building for the year ended December 31, 2016, and the related notes to the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses.
Management’s Responsibility for the Statement of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain operating expenses described in Note 2 of 1800 M Street Building’s statement of revenues and certain operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 2 to the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses, which describes that the accompanying statement of revenues and certain operating expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations under Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in the Form 8-K of Columbia Property Trust, Inc.) and is not intended to be a complete presentation of 1800 M Street Building’s revenues and expenses. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

1800 M Street Building
Notes to Statements of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses

1.     Description of Real Estate Property Acquired
On October 11, 2017, a joint venture between Columbia Property Trust, Inc. (“Columbia”) and Allianz Real Estate of America LLC (which may be referred to herein as the "the Company," "we," "our" or "us"), purchased a 10-story, 580,930-square-foot building in the Washington, D.C.’s Golden Triangle district (the "1800 M Street Building") for a gross sales price of $421.0 million. Columbia owns a 55% stake in the Company and as the general partner will oversee the asset and property management of the 1800 M Street Building.
The 1800 M Street Building was originally built in 1975, with a major renovation including lobby and other common areas and the construction of a fitness center and roof deck completed between 2011 and 2013. The 1800 M Street Building was purchased from PGIM, an affiliate of Prudential Financial, which is not affiliated with the Company.
2.     Basis of Accounting
The accompanying Statements of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for real estate properties acquired. Accordingly, the statements exclude certain historical expenses that are not comparable to the proposed future operations of the property such as certain ancillary income, amortization, depreciation, interest, and corporate expenses. Therefore, the statements will not be comparable to the statements of operations of the 1800 M Street Building after its acquisition by the Company.
3.     Significant Accounting Policies    
Revenues
Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. The excess of rental income recognized over the amounts due pursuant to the lease terms is recorded as straight-line rent receivable. The adjustment to straight-line rent receivable increased rental revenue by $5,582,234 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (unaudited), and $7,983,335 for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Statements of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and certain operating expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
4.     Description of Leasing Arrangements
As of December 31, 2016, the 1800 M Street Building was 86% leased to thirty-two tenants, including the largest, Berkeley Research Group, LLC (approximately 10%). As of September 30, 2017, the 1800 M Street Building was 94% leased to thirty-four tenants.
Berkeley Research Group, LLC is a leading global strategic advisory and expert consulting firm that provides independent advice, data analytics, authoritative studies, expert testimony, investigations, and regulatory and dispute consulting to Fortune 500 corporations, financial institutions, government agencies, major law firms, and regulatory bodies around the world. The firm specializes in economics and finance, data analytics and statistics, and public policy in a variety of sectors including healthcare, banking, information technology, energy, construction, and real estate. Founded in 2010, Berkeley Research Group, LLC has roughly 1,500 employees and more than 40 office locations in 15 different countries. The lease with Berkeley Research Group, LLC expires in June 2025, with an option to extend.

2021
31,374,249

Thereafter
165,473,127

 
$
304,188,481

Based on the leases that were in place as of December 31, 2016, for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and thereafter, Berkeley Research Group, LLC. contributes 15%, 13%, 12%, 11%, 11%, and 8%, respectively, to future minimum rental commitments.
6.    Interim Unaudited Financial Information
The Statement of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statement for the interim period have been included. The results of the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year.
7.     Subsequent Events
Subsequent events related to the 1800 M Street Building have been evaluated through December 21, 2017, which is the date the Statements of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses were available to be issued. All subsequent events, if any, requiring recognition as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, have been incorporated into the Statements of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses or disclosed in the notes to the Statements of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses.
