REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Franklin Street Properties Corp.

Wakefield, Massachusetts

We have audited the accompanying statements of revenue over certain operating expenses (the "Statements") of Emperor Boulevard for the period January 1, 2011 to March 3, 2011 and for the year ended December 31, 2010. These Statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Statements were prepared to comply with the requirements of Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and exclude certain expenses described in Note 2 and, therefore, are not intended to be a complete presentation of the Company’s revenue and expenses.

In our opinion, these Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the revenue over certain operating expenses of Emperor Boulevard for the period January 1, 2011 to March 3, 2011 and for the year ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with the basis of accounting described in Note 2.

Notes to Statements of

Revenue Over Certain Operating Expenses

For the Period January 1, 2011 to March 3, 2011

And for the Year Ended December 31, 2010

1. Description of the Property

The accompanying statements of revenue over certain operating expenses (the “Statements”) of Emperor Boulevard include the operations of a commercial building located in Durham, North Carolina (the “Property”). The Property is a fully constructed, single-tenant, twelve story Class “A” office tower containing approximately 259,531 square feet of rentable space completed in 2009. The Property was owned by Petula Prolix Development Company and sold to FSP Emperor Boulevard Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”), a subsidiary of Franklin Street Properties Corp., on March 4, 2011.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying Statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The Statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission for real estate properties acquired or to be acquired. Accordingly, these Statements exclude certain historical expenses not comparable to the operations of the Property after acquisition such as amortization, depreciation, interest, corporate expenses and certain other costs not directly related to future operations of the Property.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the basis of accounting described above requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Rental revenue includes income from a lease, certain reimbursable expenses, and straight-line rent adjustments associated with renting the Property. A summary of rental revenue is shown in the following table:

|  | January 1, 2011 |  | Year Ended
|  | to |  | December 31,
|  | March 3, 2011 |  | 2010
Income from a lease |  | $ | 1,302,852 |  |  | $ | 7,428,520 |
Straight-line rent adjustment |  |  | 74,907 |  |  |  | 456,492 |
Reimbursable expenses |  |  | 130,281 |  |  |  | 544,946 |
Total |  | $ | 1,508,040 |  |  | $ | 8,429,958 |

The Partnership has retained substantially all of the risks and benefits of the Property and accounts for its lease as an operating lease. Rental income from the lease, which includes rent concessions (including free rent and tenant improvement allowances) and scheduled increases in rental rates during the lease term, is recognized on a straight-line basis. The Partnership does not have any percentage rent arrangements with its tenant. Reimbursable costs are included in rental income in the period earned.
