Notes to Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses

For the Ten Months ended October 31, 2006 (unaudited) and the Year Ended December 31, 2005

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses include the revenue and certain expenses of 2001 Sixth Avenue (the Property), which is located in Seattle, Washington. The Property consists of a 34 floor building and an adjacent parking lot. On November 1, 2006 Digital Realty Trust, Inc. purchased an effective 49% partnership interest in the partnership which owns the Property which was subject to a mortgage note payable (see note 5) for approximately $30.5 million.

The accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses has been prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and, accordingly, is not representative of the actual results of operations for the periods presented. The statement of revenue and certain expenses excludes the following expenses which may not be comparable to the proposed future operations of the property:

 

   

Depreciation and amortization

 

   

Income taxes

 

   

Other costs not directly related to the proposed future operations of the Property.

Management is not aware of any material factors relating to the property other than those already described above that would cause the reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices

(a) Revenue Recognition

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the respective lease agreements. The straight line rent adjustment for minimum rents increased base contractual rental revenue by approximately $150,000 (unaudited) and $180,000 for the ten months ended October 31, 2006 and for the year ended December 31, 2005, respectively. Additionally, the rental agreements with some of the Property’s tenants require fees to be paid by the lessee at inception of the rental period. Although paid up-front, these fees are considered to be additional rental revenue earned over the rental period and, accordingly, these fees are recognized as rental revenue on a straight line basis over the life of the rental agreement. Revenues related to the up-front fees in the accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses were approximately $815,000 (unaudited) and $1,351,000 for the ten months ended October 31, 2006 and for the year ended December 31, 2005, respectively.

(b) Use of Estimates

Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting and disclosure of revenue and certain expenses during the reporting period to prepare the statement of revenue and certain expenses in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(c) Unaudited Interim Information

The statement of revenue and certain expenses for the ten months ended October 31, 2006 is unaudited. In the opinion of management, such statement reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of this interim period. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

A significant portion of the rentable square footage of the Property is leased to tenants in the high technology/communications industry. These tenants comprised approximately 88% of total revenues in 2005. No single tenant accounted for more than 10% of total revenues.

(5) Mortgage Note Payable

A loan in the amount of $55,000,000, secured by a first trust deed and an assignment of rents on the Property, was executed by the Partnership on October 19, 2000.

On November 1, 2010, the loan matures and a balloon payment of approximately $44,156,130 is due. The loan may be prepaid in full prior to maturity upon the payment of a fee equal to the greater of 1% of the then outstanding principal balance or an amount based on the modified yield maintenance calculation as provided by the loan agreement.

UNIT 9 BLANCHARDSTOWN CORPORATE PARK

Notes to Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses

For the Year Ended December 31, 2005 and for the Period January 1, 2006 through December 19, 2006

(Unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation

Unit 9 Blanchardstown Corporate Park (the property) is a property located in Dublin, Ireland. The Property consists of 120,000 square feet of gross rentable space and is owned by Waspar Limited. The property leases space under various lease agreements with its tenants and is 16.1% occupied as of December 31, 2005 (December 19, 2006 – 97.0%) (unaudited). On December 20, 2006, Digital Realty (Blanchardstown) Limited, a subsidiary of Digital Realty Trust, purchased Waspar Limited for approximately €36 million.

The accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses has been prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X, and accordingly, is not representative of the actual results of operations for the periods presented.

Management is not aware of any material factors relating to the property other than those already described in note 2(b) that would cause the reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices

(a) Revenue Recognition

All leases are accounted for as operating leases and, as such, rental revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the respective lease agreement. Revenue in respect of fixed and variable monthly charges is recognised as the related services are rendered.

(b) Certain Expenses

Certain expenses include only those costs expected to be comparable to the proposed future operations of the property. Repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Certain expenses exclude the following expenses which may not be comparable to the proposed future operations of the property:

 

   

Depreciation and amortization

 

   

Income taxes

 

   

Other costs not directly related to the proposed future operations of the property

(c) Foreign Currency

The property is located in Dublin, Ireland and all transactions are denominated in Euros.

(d) Use of Estimates

Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting and disclosure of revenue and certain expenses during the reporting period to prepare the statement of revenue and certain expenses in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
