We have audited the accompanying statements of revenue over certain operating expenses (the "Statements") of 303 East Wacker Drive for the period January 1, 2007 to January 4, 2007 and for the year ended December 31, 2006. These Statements are the responsibility of the Property’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statements are free of material misstatements.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall Statements’ presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
The accompanying Statements were prepared to comply with the requirements of Rule 8-06 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and exclude certain expenses described in Note 2 and, therefore, are not intended to be a complete presentation of the Property’s revenue and expenses.
 
In our opinion, these Statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the revenue over certain operating expenses of 303 East Wacker Drive. for the period January 1, 2007 to January 4, 2007 and for the year ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with the basis of accounting described in Note 2.

1.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY:
 
The accompanying statements of revenue over certain operating expenses (the “Statements”) include the operations of a  commercial building located in Chicago, Illinois (the “Property”).  The Property is a fully constructed, multi-tenant, twenty-eight story, Class “A” office tower containing approximately 859,187 square feet of rentable space completed in 1979.  The Property was owned by 303 Wacker Realty L.L.C. and sold to FSP 303 East Wacker Drive Corp. (the “Company”) on January 5, 2007.
 
2.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING:
 
The accompanying Statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.  The Statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 8-06 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission for real estate properties acquired or to be acquired.  Accordingly, these Statements exclude certain historical expenses not comparable to the operations of the Property after acquisition such as amortization, depreciation, interest, corporate expenses and certain other costs not directly related to future operations of the Property.
 
3.
REVENUE RECOGNITION:
 
Rental revenue includes income from the lease, certain reimbursable expenses, and straight-line rent adjustments associated with renting the Property.  A summary of rental revenue is shown in the following table:
 
   
January 1, 2007
to
   
Year Ended December 31,
 
   
January 4, 2007
   
2006
 
             
Income from leases
  $ 136,848     $ 11,645,296  
Straight-line rent adjustment

      Total
  $ 244,506     $ 21,679,391  
 
The Company has retained substantially all of the risks and benefits of the Property and accounts for its leases as operating leases.  Rental income from the lease, which includes rent concessions (including free rent and tenant improvement allowances) and scheduled increases in rental rates during the lease term, is recognized on a straight-line basis.  The Company does not have any percentage rent arrangements with its tenant.  Reimbursable costs are included in rental income in the period earned.
 
4.
USE OF ESTIMATES:
 
The preparation of the Statements in conformity with the basis of accounting described in Note 2 requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
