ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
During the period from January 1, 2001 to November 1, 2001, Washington
Real Estate Investment Trust ("WRIT") purchased three real estate properties,
which, individually are insignificant as defined in Regulation S-X, but in the
aggregate, constitute a "significant amount of assets" as defined in Regulation
S-X. When acquisitions are individually insignificant but significant in the
aggregate, Regulation S-X requires the presentation of audited financial
statements for assets comprising a substantial majority of the individually
insignificant properties. WRIT's 2001 real estate asset purchases first exceeded
the minimum level of significance upon the November 1, 2001 purchase of an
industrial property located in Chantilly, VA.
On April 19, 2001, WRIT purchased One Central Plaza, a twelve-story
office, containing 274,000 rentable square feet, located in Rockville, MD, for a
contract purchase price of $44.4 million. The contract purchase price was paid
through an equity offering. On the date of acquisition, One Central Plaza was
99.9% leased. One Central Plaza constitutes a "substantial majority" of the
assets acquired by WRIT through the period ended November 1, 2001 as defined in
Regulation S-X.
