ITEM 2.01 ACQUISITION OF ASSETS

On September 15, 2004, Government Properties Trust, Inc. (the Company) completed
its previously announced acquisition of the Hollings Judicial Center Annex
(HJCA) in Charleston, S.C. for approximately $19.0 million. The purchase price
was determined through arms-length negotiations between the Company and
Charleston Courthouse Associates, LLC, an unrelated party with an address at
85-91 Broad Street, Charleston, South Carolina. The Company funded the purchase
price with cash on hand.

The HJCA property is over 61,000 gross square feet and was constructed and
placed into service in August 1999. The property is fully leased by the federal
government under a modified gross lease which expires in July 2019. The federal
government has two 10-year renewal options.

             FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED) AND
                      FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003

             REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Trustees of
Government Properties Trust, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses of
Charleston Courthouse Associates, LLC (the Property) for the year ended December
31, 2003. This Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses is the responsibility
of the Property's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement
of Revenue and Certain Expenses is free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures made in the Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Statement
of Revenue and Certain Expenses. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses was prepared for the
purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for inclusion in Government Properties Trust, Inc.'s Current
Report on Form 8-K as described in Note 2, and is not intended to be a complete
presentation of the Property's revenue and expenses.

In our opinion, the Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses referred to above
presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses
described in Note 2 for the year ended December 31, 2003 in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.

       CHARLESTON COURTHOUSE ASSOCIATES, LLC -- CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA

               NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY

The Charleston Courthouse Associates, LLC - Charleston, South Carolina (the
Property), located at 85-91 Broad Street, Charleston, South Carolina is an
office building that is 100% leased to the Federal Government pursuant to a
lease expiring in 2019. The Federal Government has two 10-year renewal options
at a base rate of no less than the current base rate.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses for the year ended
December 31, 2003 was prepared for purposes of complying with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying
financial statement is not representative of the actual operations of the
Property for the periods presented nor indicative of future operations as
certain expenses, primarily depreciation, amortization and interest expense,
which may not be comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred by the
Company in future operations of Property, have been excluded.

In preparation of the statement of revenue and certain expenses in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Rental income is recorded when due from the tenant under the term of the lease.
The current lease requires monthly rental payments totaling $139,884 through the
term of the respective lease. The lease also contains provisions to recover real
estate taxes at an amount in excess of the tenant's base year amount, as
defined. Such revenue is included in tenant reimbursements in the statement of
revenue and certain expenses.

3. INTERIM PERIOD (UNAUDITED)

The unaudited statement of revenue and certain expenses for the six months ended
June 30, 2004, has been prepared for purposes of complying with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2004 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2004.

                                   (UNAUDITED)

On January 27, 2004, the Company completed its initial public offering (the
Offering) and sold approximately 19.7 million common shares and received
approximately $177.0 million in net proceeds. The Company used a portion of the
proceeds to repay outstanding lines of credit and mortgage debt on previously
owned properties and intends to use the majority of the remaining proceeds to
acquire additional properties.

Since the Offering and through September 30, 2004, the Company completed its
previously announced acquisitions of the following properties:



PROPERTY                                                               LOCATION              ACQUISITION COST     DATE ACQUIRED

                                                                                              $  69,526,525

The Company funded the above acquisitions with cash on hand. On July 30, 2004,
the Company received $21.0 million and $8.0 million from mortgage notes payable
related to its Pittsburgh FBI and Lenexa Properties, respectively. The net
effect of the Offering, 2004 Acquisitions and additional mortgage notes payable
are reflected in the Company's consolidated historical balance sheet at
September 30, 2004.

Subsequent to September 30, 2004, the Company completed the following
acquisitions:



PROPERTY                                                                  LOCATION        ACQUISITION COST

                                                                                           $   52,066,293
                                                                                           ==============


In addition, on October 13, 2004, the Company completed the sale of the Federal
Express building in Harahan, LA (Harahan Property) for approximately $4.6
million in cash.

The accompanying unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of the
Company is presented as if the College Park Property, Pittsburgh USCIS Property
and Parkersburg Property had been acquired and the Harahan Property had been
sold on September 30, 2004. This Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet
should be read in conjunction with the Company's historical consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto as filed on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2003 and on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the acquisitions
of the College Park Property, Pittsburgh USCIS Property and Parkersburg Property
and the sale of the Harahan Property have been made. The following Pro Forma
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet is not necessarily indicative of what the
actual financial position would have been assuming the above transactions had
been consummated at September 30, 2004, nor does it purport to represent the
future financial position of the Company.

                 PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

The accompanying unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for
the nine months period ended September 30, 2004 and for the year ended December
31, 2003 of the Company is presented as if the Charleston Fed Court Property,
Pittsburgh FBI Property, Lenexa Property, Mineral Wells Property and other
properties acquired in 2003 (the "2003 Acquired Properties), collectively the
"Acquired Properties", had been acquired on January 1, 2003. These Pro Forma
Consolidated Statements of Operations should be read in conjunction with the
Company's historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as
filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 and on Form 10-Q for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004. In management's opinion, all adjustments
necessary to reflect the above acquisitions have been made.

The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations are not
necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been
for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 or for the year ended
December 31, 2003 assuming the above transactions had been consummated at
January 1, 2003, nor does it purport to represent the future results of
operations of the Company.

The accompanying unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations do
not include the results of operations for the Baton Rouge Property, College Park
Property, Pittsburgh USCIS Property and the Parkersburg Property as these
properties began operations within the last nine months and therefore pro forma
financial information pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation S-X is not
applicable.

      (1) In connection with the Offering, the Company used a portion of the
      proceeds to repay lines of credit and mortgage debt outstanding on the
      2003 Acquired Properties. This adjustment eliminates interest expense
      associated with the lines of credit and mortgage debt that was repaid.

      (2) The adjustment increases the weighted average shares outstanding to
      20,692,502, which is the total number of shares outstanding after the
      Offering and issuance of restricted share grants. These adjustments along
      with the net effect of the other pro forma adjustments have changed the
      pro forma earnings per share amounts.
