Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Summary 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 Summary is free of material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Summary. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Summary, 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 Summary 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 Summary. 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 Summary presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain operating expenses of Riverside Apartments, as described in Note 2 to the Summary, for the year ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Basis of Accounting As described in Note 2 to the Summary, the Summary was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of Riverside Apartments’ revenue and expenses. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Denver, Colorado July 26, 2016 RIVERSIDE APARTMENTS SUMMARIES OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2016 (UNAUDITED)             Year Ended December 31, 2015 Quarter Ended March 31, 2016 Revenue:       Rental revenue   $ 18,477,830 $ 4,674,360 Other revenue   3,039,927 808,960         Total revenue   21,517,757 5,483,320         Certain expenses:       Personnel expense   1,063,342 260,064 Utilities expense   1,877,610 539,208 Contract services expense   795,570 205,829 Turnover expense   242,836 56,845 Repairs and maintenance expense   427,518 120,499 Marketing expense   205,519 64,294 Administrative expense   436,286 82,753 Taxes and insurance expense   2,801,392 652,492         Total certain expenses   7,850,073 1,981,984         Total revenue less certain expenses   $ 13,667,684 $ 3,501,336                 See Notes to the Summary.       RIVERSIDE APARTMENTS NOTES TO THE SUMMARIES OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2016 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES On May 20, 2016, Washington Real Estate Investment Trust (the “REIT”) acquired a multifamily residential property in Washington D.C. known as Riverside Apartments (the “Property”). The aggregate purchase price of the Property was approximately $245 million, exclusive of closing costs. Revenue recognition The Property has operating leases with apartment residents with terms averaging 12 months. Rental income, net of any concessions, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rental payments received in advance are deferred until earned. Advertising costs The Property expenses advertising costs as incurred. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding revenues and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results could differ from estimated amounts. NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The summaries of revenue and certain expenses have been prepared for the purpose of complying with Regulation S-X, Rule 3-14 as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, in connection with the REIT’s acquisition of the Property. The summaries of revenue and certain expenses are not representative of actual operations of the Property for the periods presented, nor indicative of future operations; however, the REIT is not aware of any material factors relating to the Property that would cause the reported financial information to not necessarily be indicative of future operating results. In addition, the summaries of revenues and certain expenses exclude items that may not be comparable to the proposed future operations of the Property such as: (a) Interest expense on existing mortgages and borrowings (b) Depreciation of property and equipment (c) Asset management fees and property management fees (d) Amortization of initial leasing fees (e) Certain corporate and administrative expenses NOTE 3 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Commitments and contingencies include the usual obligations of a real estate property in the normal course of business. In management’s opinion, these matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Property’s future operating results. NOTE 4 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through July 26, 2016, the date on which the summaries of revenue and certain expenses were available to be issued and noted no items requiring adjustment to the summaries or additional disclosure.

In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect these acquisitions and related transactions have been made. The unaudited consolidated pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what Washington REIT's actual results of operations would have been had the transaction been consummated on the dates indicated, nor does it purport to represent Washington REIT's results of operations or financial position for any future period.
