REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
CRT Properties, Inc.
Boca Raton, Florida:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of CRT Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”), formerly Koger Equity, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2004, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, of changes in shareholders’ equity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 5, 2004, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

CRT PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 AND 2003
(Unaudited)

     1. ORGANIZATION. CRT Properties, Inc. (“CRT” or the “Company”), a Florida corporation formerly known as Koger Equity, Inc., was incorporated in 1988 to own and manage commercial office buildings and other income-producing properties. CRT is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) and its common stock and preferred stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “CRO” and “CROPRA”, respectively. As of June 30, 2004, CRT owned or had interests in 132 office buildings containing 10.4 million rentable square feet, primarily located within 20 suburban office projects and two urban centers in 12 metropolitan areas in the Southeastern United States, Maryland and Texas.

     In addition to managing its own properties, the Company formerly provided asset management services to Crocker Realty Trust, a related party. The Company and Crocker Realty Trust terminated the asset management agreement on May 1, 2003.

     2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by CRT. All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission related to interim financial statements.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2003, included in the Company’s Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2003. The accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 2003 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date and is condensed.

All adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly present the results for the interim periods have been made. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year presentation. Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future periods or for the full year.

     New Accounting Standards. In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” This Statement applies to costs associated with an exit activity that does not involve an entity newly acquired in a business combination, an asset retirement obligation covered by SFAS No. 143 or with a disposal activity covered by SFAS No. 144. SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity shall be recognized and measured initially at its fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred provided that such fair value can be reasonably estimated. An exception applies for certain one-time termination benefits that are incurred over time. The Company adopted SFAS No. 146 effective January 1, 2003. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 146 has not had a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” FIN No. 45 requires certain guarantees to be recorded at fair value and also requires significant new disclosures related to guarantees, even when the likelihood of making any payments under the guarantee is remote. FIN No. 45 generally applies to contracts or indemnification agreements that contingently require the guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on changes in an underlying variable that is related to an asset, liability, or an equity security of the guaranteed party. FIN No. 45 is effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Company adopted FIN No. 45 effective January 1, 2003. The Company’s adoption of FIN No. 45 has not had a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure.” SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure about the effects of an entity’s accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements. SFAS No. 148 does not amend SFAS No. 123 to require companies to account for their employee stock-based awards using the fair value method. However, the disclosure provisions are required for all companies with stock-based employee compensation, regardless of whether they utilize the fair value method of accounting described in SFAS No. 123 or the intrinsic value method described in APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS No. 148’s transition provisions are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The Company adopted the interim disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 effective January 1, 2003. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 148 has not had a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” which is intended to clarify the application of ARB No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements” to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. FIN No. 46 requires the consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the variable interest will absorb a majority of the entity’s expected losses if they occur, receive a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns if they occur, or both. FIN No. 46 is effective for VIEs created after January 31, 2003. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after December 15, 2003 to variable interest entities in which an enterprise that is a public company holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The Company’s adoption of FIN No. 46 has not had a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements since the Company did not have any VIEs as of June 30, 2004.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. This statement was effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 149 has not had a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This statement establishes standards for classifying and measuring as liabilities certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments created or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 (July 1, 2003 for calendar quarter companies). The Company adopted SFAS No. 150 effective July 1, 2003. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 150 has not had a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

     3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates under different assumptions or conditions. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the reasonableness of its estimates.

The Company believes the following significant accounting policies affect the significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of its condensed consolidated financial statements:

     Investments in Real Estate. Rental property and improvements, including interest and other costs capitalized during construction, are included in real estate investments and are stated at cost. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as they are incurred. Significant renovations and improvements, which improve or extend the useful life of the assets, are capitalized. Except for amounts attributed to land, rental property and improvements are depreciated as described below.

The Company recognizes gains on the sale of property in accordance with SFAS No. 66. Revenues from sales of property are recognized when a significant down payment is received, the earnings process is complete and the collection of any remaining receivables is reasonably assured.

     Depreciation and Amortization. The Company computes depreciation on its operating properties using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of three to 40 years. A significant portion of the acquisition cost of each operating property is allocated to the acquired buildings (usually 85% to 90%). The allocation of the acquisition cost to buildings and the determination of the useful lives are based on the Company’s estimates. If the Company were to allocate acquisition costs inappropriately to buildings or to incorrectly estimate the useful lives of its operating properties, it may be required to adjust future depreciation expense. Deferred tenant costs (leasing commissions and tenant relocation costs) are amortized over the term of the related leases.

     Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company’s long-lived assets include investments in real estate. The Company assesses impairment of long-lived assets whenever changes or events indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company assesses impairment of operating properties based on the operating cash flows of the properties. In performing its assessment, the Company must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2004, no impairment charges were recorded. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges.

     Revenue Recognition. Rental income is generally recognized over the lives of leases according to provisions of the underlying lease agreements. Certain leases provide for tenant occupancy during periods for which no rent is due or where minimum rent payments increase during the term of the lease. For these leases, the Company records rental income for the full term of each lease on a straight-line basis. For the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the recognition of rental revenues on a straight-line basis for applicable leases increased rental revenues by $1,407,000 and $1,075,000, respectively, over the amount which would have been recognized based upon the contractual provisions of these leases. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the recognition of rental revenues on a straight-line basis for applicable leases increased rental revenues by $2,656,000 and $2,370,000, respectively, over the amount which would have been recognized based upon the contractual provisions of these leases.

The Company historically generated management fees and leasing commissions by providing on-site property management and leasing services to a limited number of third party owners. Management fees were generally earned monthly and were based on a percentage of the managed properties’ monthly rental and other operating revenues. Leasing commissions were earned when the Company, on behalf of the third party owner, negotiated or assisted in the negotiation of new leases, renewals and expansions of existing leases, and were generally based on a percentage of rents to be received under the initial term of the respective leases.

     Allowances for Doubtful Accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses due to the inability of its tenants to make required payments for rents and other rental services. In assessing the recoverability of these receivables, the Company makes assumptions regarding the financial condition of the tenants based primarily on past payment trends and certain financial information that tenants submit to the Company. If the financial condition of the Company’s tenants were to deteriorate and result in an impairment of their ability to make payments, the Company may be required to increase its allowances by recording additional bad debt expense. Likewise, should the financial condition of its tenants improve and result in payments or settlements of previously reserved amounts, the Company may be required to record a reduction in bad debt expense.

     Federal Income Taxes. The Company is qualified and has elected tax treatment as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code (a “REIT”). A corporate REIT is a legal entity that owns income-producing real property, and through distributions of income to its shareholders, is permitted to reduce or avoid the payment of federal income taxes at the corporate level. To maintain qualification as a REIT, the Company must, among other requirements, distribute to shareholders at least 90 percent of REIT taxable income. To the extent that the Company pays dividends equal to 100 percent of REIT taxable income, the earnings of the Company are taxed at the shareholder level. However, the use of net operating loss carryforwards, which may reduce REIT taxable income to zero, are limited for alternative minimum tax purposes. Distributed capital gains on sales of real estate are not subject to tax; however, undistributed capital gains are taxed as capital gain. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes and will not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Although Koger Realty Services, Inc. (“KRSI”), a taxable REIT subsidiary, is consolidated with the Company for financial reporting purposes, this entity is subject to federal income tax and files separate federal and state income tax returns.

     Stock Options. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” requires expanded disclosures of stock-based compensation arrangements with employees and encourages (but does not require) compensation cost to be measured based on the fair value of the equity instrument awarded. Companies are permitted, however, to continue to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), which recognizes compensation cost based on the intrinsic value of the equity instrument awarded. As a result, there were no stock options charged to income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. The Company has continued to apply APB 25 to its stock based compensation awards to employees and has disclosed the required pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share as follows:

     Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate. The Company accounts for an investment in an unconsolidated affiliate using the equity method of accounting, as it does not have a controlling interest over the operating and financial policies of the joint venture. As a result, the assets and liabilities of the joint venture are not included in the Company’s balance sheet. This investment was recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions.

     Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company believes the carrying amount of its financial instruments (temporary investments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable) is a reasonable estimate of fair value of these instruments. Based on a market interest rate of 7.0 percent, the fair value of the Company’s mortgages and loans payable would be approximately $475.8 million at June 30, 2004.

     Fair Value of In-Place Leases. SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” requires the separate recognition of intangible assets acquired as part of an asset acquisition, including the value attributable to leases in place and certain customer relationships. The Company recorded $274,000, $1,500,000, $272,000, $228,000, and $329,000 of the estimated value of leases in place as part of its acquisitions of Three Ravinia, The Lakes on Post Oak, Tollway Crossing, CIGNA Plaza, and McGinnis Park, respectively. The Company intends to amortize these intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the existing leases (usually averages 4 to 5 years). The Company is currently evaluating any other intangible assets that may have arisen resulting from its recent acquisitions of Atlantic Center Plaza in Atlanta, Georgia, and two Class “A” office buildings in the Decoverly Office Park in Rockville, Maryland.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash in excess of daily requirements is invested in short-term monetary securities. Such temporary cash investments have an original maturity of less than three months and are deemed to be cash equivalents for purposes of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

     Restricted Cash. Restricted cash represents amounts contractually placed in escrow for purposes of making payments for certain future building improvements, tenant allowances, leasing commissions, real estate taxes, and debt service.

     4. STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS. On January 13, 2004, the Company issued 5,175,000 shares of its common stock (including 675,000 shares issued in connection with the exercise of an over-allotment option granted to the Company’s underwriter) at a price to the public of $20.45 per share. The net proceeds of the offering ($100.2 million) were used to pay down the Company’s revolving credit facility ($15 million), fund the Decoverly acquisition ($42.2 million) as well as a portion of the Atlantic Center Plaza acquisition ($40.5 million) and for general corporate purposes.

On January 27, 2004, the Company acquired Atlantic Center Plaza, a 502,000 twenty-three story square foot building located in Atlanta, Georgia, for a purchase price of $116.5 million plus closing and other costs. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company assumed a 3-year variable interest rate secured loan of approximately $75.9 million with an interest rate of LIBOR (1.11% at June 30, 2004) plus 160 basis points. Simultaneously, at closing, the Company assumed a second 3-year variable interest rate secured loan of $10.0 million with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 600 basis points and immediately prepaid the loan in full. The Company funded the remainder of the purchase price with a portion of the net proceeds ($40.5 million) from its January 2004 common stock offering.

On April 2, 2004, the Company acquired four properties, including two Class A office buildings, a ground lease and an undeveloped parcel of land located in the Decoverly Office Park in Rockville, Maryland for a purchase price of $42.0 million plus closing and other costs. The two three-story office buildings aggregate approximately 155,000 square feet of rentable space. The undeveloped land parcel contains 3.2 acres with an approved site plan fo
