Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses
For The Year Ended December 31, 2006
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors of
Grubb & Ellis Company
We have audited the accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses of the 6400 Shafer Court – Rosemont, Illinois (the Property) for the year ended December 31, 2006. The statement of revenue and certain expenses are 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 statements of revenue and certain expenses are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Property’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included 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 statements of revenue and certain expenses, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall presentation of the statements 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 were prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, for inclusion in Grubb & Ellis Company’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 present fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses described in Note 2 for the year ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
