                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Management of
     AmeriVest Properties Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses of
Arrowhead Fountains Office Building (see Note 1) for the year ended December 31,
2000. This financial statement is the responsibility of the Property's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial
statement 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 financial statement is free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

This statement of revenue and certain expenses has been prepared for the purpose
of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Property's
revenue and expenses and/or financial position.

In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in
all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses of Arrowhead Fountains
Office Building for the year ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

               NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
                                DECEMBER 31, 2000


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses reflect the
operations of Arrowhead Fountains Office Building ("Arrowhead Fountains" or the
"Property"). The Property consists of one office building located in suburban
Phoenix, Arizona. The Property contains approximately 96,000 net rentable square
feet and is located on approximately 5 acres of land. As of December 31, 2000,
the Property had an occupancy percentage of approximately 90%.

The Property was acquired by AmeriVest Properties Inc. and subsidiaries
("AmeriVest") from an unrelated party on November 19, 2001 for $12,750,000,
which was paid by the assumption of the existing loan in the amount of
$9,300,000 and the balance from a portion of the proceeds of our late July 2001
public offering. In addition, AmeriVest incurred approximately $219,000 in
related acquisition fees and costs, of which, approximately $175,000 represents
the advisory fee due to Sheridan Realty Advisors, LLC in connection with the
acquisition per the Property Management and Advisory Agreement.

The accounting records of the Property are maintained on the accrual basis. The
accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses are prepared pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and exclude
certain expenses such as interest, depreciation and amortization, professional
fees and other costs not directly related to future operations of the Property.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumption that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. The ultimate results could differ from those estimates.

Interim Information (Unaudited)
-------------------------------

In the opinion of management, the unaudited information as of September 30, 2001
included herein contains all the adjustments necessary, which are of a normal
recurring nature, to present fairly the revenue and certain expenses for the
nine months ended September 30, 2001. Results of interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. Management is not
aware of any material factors that would cause the information included herein
to not be indicative of future operating results.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Depreciation has been estimated based upon an allocation of the purchase price
of Arrowhead Fountains to land (20%) and building (80%) and assuming (for tax
purposes) a 39-year useful life applied on a straight-line method.

No income taxes have been provided because the Company is organized and operates
in such a manner so as to qualify as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT")
under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). Accordingly, the
Company generally will not pay Federal income taxes provided that distributions
to its stockholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as
defined under the Code.
