Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Cornerstone Core Properties REIT, Inc.
Irvine, CA
We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses, (the “Historical Summary”) of the property known as Orlando Small Bay, located in metropolitan Orlando, Florida (the “Property”) for the year ended December 31, 2006. This statement of revenues and certain expenses is the responsibility of the Property’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Historical Summary based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Summary is free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Property’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Summary, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Summary. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying Historical Summary was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in this Form 8-K of Cornerstone Core Properties REIT, Inc.) as described in Note 1 to the Historical Summary and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Property’s revenue and expenses.
In our opinion, the statement of revenues and certain expenses of the Property presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses described in Note 1 to the Historical Summary of the property located in metropolitan Orlando, Florida for the year ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ORLANDO SMALL BAY, FLORIDA
NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses include operations of Orlando Small Bay, Orlando, Florida (the “Property” or “Orlando Small Bay”) which was acquired by Cornerstone Core Properties REIT, Inc. (the “Company”), from a nonaffiliated third party. The Property was acquired on November 15, 2007 for approximately $37.1 million, plus closing costs and acquisition fees (which are not determinable at this time) and has 394,471leasable square feet located on approximately 34 acres of land (unaudited).
Basis of Presentation
The statements of revenues and certain operating expenses (the “Historical Summary”) have been prepared for the purpose of complying with the provisions of Article 3-14 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which requires certain information with respect to real estate operations to be included with certain filings with the SEC. The Historical Summary includes the historical revenues and certain operating expenses of the Property, exclusive of items which may not be comparable to the proposed future operations of the Property. Material amounts that would not be directly attributable to future operating results of the Property are excluded, and the Historical Summary is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Property’s revenues and expenses. Items excluded consist of depreciation, interest expense and federal and state income taxes.
The accompanying statements are not representative of the actual operations for the periods presented, as certain expenses that may not be comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred by the Company in the future operations of the Property have been excluded. The statement of revenues and certain expenses for the period from January 1, 2007 to September 30, 2007 is unaudited and reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the operating results for the interim period presented. The results of operations for the period from January 1, 2007 to September 30, 2007 (unaudited) are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.
Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue is recognized on an accrual basis as it is earned over the lives of the respective tenant leases on a straight-line basis. Rental receivables are periodically evaluated for collectibility.
Repairs and Maintenance
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and certain expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates in the near term.
6
2. Leases
The aggregate annual future minimum lease payments to be received under existing operating leases as of December 31, 2006, are as follows:
2007 |
| $ | 2,710,000 |
|
2008 |
| 2,560,000 |
| |
2009 |
| 2,099,000 |
| |
2010 |
| 1,667,000 |
| |
2011 |
| 863,000 |
| |
2012 and thereafter |
| 504,000 |
| |
|
| $ | 10,403,000 |
|
The Property is generally leased to tenants under lease terms that provide for the tenants to pay increases in operating expenses in excess of specified amounts. The above future minimum lease payments do not include specified payments for tenant reimbursements of operating expenses.
3. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The Company may be subject to legal claims in the ordinary course of business as a property owner. The Company believes that the ultimate settlement of any potential claims will not have a material impact on the Property’s results of operations.
Environmental Matters
In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may be potentially liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability or other claim, and the Company is not aware of any other environmental condition that it believes will have a material adverse effect on the Property’s results of operations.

The amortization of in-place leases is based on an allocation of $614,000 to in-place leases, and the amortization of above and below market rent is based on an allocations of $266,000 to below market rent and $333,000 to above market rent which are amortized through 2016. The Company allocates the purchase price in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 141, Business Combinations (“FAS 141”).
