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 New York Buildings 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 New York Buildings’ 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 New York Buildings’ revenues and expenses. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

New York Buildings
Notes to Statements of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses

1.     Description of Real Estate Property Acquired
On October 11, 2017, Columbia Property Trust, Inc. (which may be referred to herein as the "Company," "we," "our" or "us") purchased two adjoining buildings, one six-story building and one 12-story building, comprising 281,294 square feet (the “245-249 W 17th Street Buildings”) as well as a 12-story, 165,670 square foot building (the “218 West 18th Street” Building) in New York’s Chelsea submarket for a gross sales price of $514.1 million (collectively, the “New York Buildings”). The acquisition was funded with a combination of cash on hand from prior dispositions and borrowings under our line of credit.
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 New York Buildings after their 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 $2,041,117 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (unaudited), and $3,207,380 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 and September 30, 2017, the New York Buildings were 100% leased to eleven tenants, including Twitter, Inc. (approximately 48%), Room & Board, Inc. (approximately 14%), and Red Bull North America, Inc. (approximately 10%).
Twitter, Inc. is a global online platform for public self-expression and conversation in real time. By developing a fundamentally new way for people to consume, create, distribute and discover content, Twitter enables any voice to echo around the world instantly and unfiltered. The service can be accessed at Twitter.com, on a variety of mobile devices. Available in more than 40 languages, Twitter has 330 million monthly active users. Twitter, Inc. also receives revenue from its Periscope application that allows live streaming of video. The lease with Twitter, Inc. expires in April 2025, with two options to extend.
Room & Board, Inc. is a privately held, national retailer of modern home furnishings based in Minneapolis, MN with 14 locations throughout the United States. Approximately 90% of Room & Board products are American-made and 95% are exclusive to Room & Board, Inc. Its Shop from Home business, which consists of a print catalog and website, is the fastest-growing segment of its business. It also has a Business Interiors division that provides floor planning services, product suggestions, and commercial rating information. The lease with Room & Board, Inc. expires in October 2034, with an option to extend.
Red Bull North America, Inc. is a subsidiary of Austrian company Red Bull GmbH, which is the creator of the world’s most popular energy drink of the same name. Founded in 1987, Red Bull GmbH employs over 11,000 people and sells drinks in over 171 countries. The company has since evolved to become a leader in sports, culture, and lifestyle media. The Red Bull Studios New York, located in the 218 West 18th Street Building, is a multi-disciplinary project space featuring a state of the art recording studio, radio booth, and lecture hall. The lease with Red Bull North America expires in October 2027, with an option to extend.
