SUMMARY FINANCIAL DATA

STAMFORD HEALTH SYSTEM, INC.

CPPT Darien LLC (“CPPT Darien), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired the Darien Property on October 31, 2012 for a gross purchase price of $7,200,000 in cash, exclusive of closing costs. The Darien Property is an 18,754 square foot, single-tenant medical office building constructed in 1997 and expanded in 2008.

The Company is currently in the process of analyzing the fair value of the individual components purchased. Consequently, the purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to change. All assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives of the assets by class are generally 40 years for buildings and the lesser of the useful life or lease term for leasehold improvements. Above- and below-market leases are amortized and recorded to rental income over the remaining term of the associated lease. Annual depreciation and amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $140,000.

The Darien property is 100% leased to Stamford Health System, Inc. (“Stamford Health”), a not-for-profit provider of comprehensive healthcare services, pursuant to a non-cancelable, triple-net lease that expires on November 30, 2023. Stamford Health has leased 100% of the property since 1997. Pursuant to the terms of the lease, Stamford Health is responsible for the payment of base rent and all of the property’s operating expenses. Since November 2008, the annual base rent has been $459,473, or approximately $24.50 per square foot. In 2013 and in 2018, the tenant’s base rent will adjust based on changes in the consumer price index. The lease is subject to one optional renewal period of five years.

CPPT Darien entered into a $3,960,000 mortgage loan, or the loan, with Sovereign Bank, N.A (“Sovereign”). The loan matures on October 31, 2017 and, subject to certain conditions, may be extended for up to two years. The loan is an interest-only loan that bears interest at a variable per annum rate equal to the adjusted British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate plus 230 basis points, payable monthly. On October 31, 2012, CPPT Darien entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Sovereign with respect to the full principal amount of the loan. The swap effectively hedges the interest payment under the loan to a fixed rate of 3.31% per annum. CPPT Darien may prepay the loan at any time without premium or penalty, and Sovereign may accelerate the loan upon the occurrence of customary events of loan default.

In evaluating the Darien Property as a potential acquisition, including the determination of an appropriate purchase price paid for the Darien Property, we considered a variety of factors, including the condition and financial performance of the property; the terms of the existing lease and the creditworthiness of the tenant; property location, visibility and access to the property; age of the property, physical condition and curb appeal; neighboring property uses; and local market conditions, including vacancy rates and economic conditions. After reasonable inquiry, we are not aware of any material factors relating to the Darien Property that would cause the reported financial information not to be indicative of future operating results.

Because the Darien Property is 100% leased to a single tenant on a long-term basis under a net lease whereby substantially all of the operating costs are the responsibility of the tenant, we believe that the financial condition and results of operations of the tenant are more relevant to investors than the financial statements of the Darien Property and enable investors to better evaluate the creditworthiness of the lessee. As a result, we have provided summarized consolidated financial information of the lessee of the Darien Property.

Stamford Health currently files its audited annual financial statements in reports filed with the State of Connecticut, and its unaudited quarterly filings with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (“MSRB”). The following summarizes the financial data regarding Stamford Health taken from its previously filed public records (dollar amounts in thousands):

Overview

Lehigh Valley South

On October 18, 2012, CPPT Lehigh LLC (“CPPT Lehigh”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and LIT Industrial Limited Partnership (“LIT”) entered into a joint venture agreement for LIT/CPPT Lehigh Venture LLC (the “Venture”) to own and a 315,000 square foot industrial building located in Lower Macungie, Pennsylvania (“Lehigh Valley South”). Prior to the sale, Lehigh Valley South was owned by TCC-Lion Industrial, LLC and was known as Lehigh Valley South Industrial LLC.

CPPT Lehigh contributed $9,843,750 in cash to the Venture, and LIT contributed its 50% ownership interest in Lehigh Valley South to the Venture, for a total purchase price of $19,687,500, exclusive of closing costs. Lehigh Valley South was acquired by the Venture on October 18, 2012. On October 25, 2012, the Venture closed on a $10,400,000 mortgage loan secured by Lehigh Valley South. On October 25, 2012, the Venture entered into an interest rate swap agreement with respect to the full principal amount of the loan. The swap effectively hedges the interest payment under the loan to a fixed rate of 3.60% per annum.

We have audited the accompanying Historical Summaries of Gross Income and Direct Operating Expenses of Lehigh Valley South Industrial LLC (the Company) for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011. These Historical Summaries are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Historical Summaries based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 Historical Summaries are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Summaries. An audit also includes assessing the basis of accounting used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Summaries. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Historical Summaries were prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Form 8-K/A filed by Clarion Partners Property Trust Inc., as described in Note 2, and are not intended to be a complete presentation of the Company’s revenue and expenses.

In our opinion, the Historical Summaries referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the Gross Income and Direct Operating Expenses described in Note 2 of the Company, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
