Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Purchase of Metropolitan Dallas Office Building. On September 5, 2002, we
completed the acquisition of the Parkway Centre II office building (the
"Property"). The Property is located in Plano, Texas and contains approximately
152,000 rentable square feet and is located on 6.4 acres of land. The aggregate
purchase price for the Property was $22,000,000, which was paid through the
assumption of the existing $17,000,000 loan from J.P. Morgan Chase Commercial
Mortgage Securities Corp. (the "J.P. Morgan Chase Loan") and the balance paid in
cash from a portion of the proceeds of our May 2002 public offering.

The Property was purchased from Tennessee Walker Ltd. (the "Seller"), an
unrelated party. The purchase price of the Property was determined through
negotiations between the Seller and us.

The J.P. Morgan Chase Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 195 basis points, due in
monthly installments of interest only, with the principal balance and accrued
interest due on August 10, 2004. This loan may be prepaid at any time without
penalty.

For a more complete description of this transaction, please see the Agreement
for Purchase and Sale between us and the Seller dated June 17, 2002 (the
"Purchase Agreement"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1, and
our press release dated September 5, 2002, a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit 99.1.

The schedules and exhibits to the Purchase Agreement, a listing of which are
included therein, have not been filed herewith. The schedules and exhibits will
be furnished supplementally to the Securities and Exchange Commission upon
request.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors of
     AmeriVest Properties Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses of
the Parkway Centre II Office Building in Plano, Texas (the "Property") for the
year ended December 31, 2001. This financial statement is the responsibility of
the Property's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
financial statement 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 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
presentation of the financial statement. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

The statement of revenue and certain expenses was prepared for the purpose of
complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and for inclusion in the Form 8-K of AmeriVest Properties Inc., as
described in Note 1. The presentation is not intended to be a complete
presentation of the Property's revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in
all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses of the Parkway Centre II
Office Building for the year ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

               NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
                                DECEMBER 31, 2001


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses reflects the
operations of the Parkway Centre II Office Building ("Parkway Centre II" or the
"Property"). The Property consists of one office building located in Plano,
Texas. The Property contains approximately 152,000 rentable square feet and is
located on 6.4 acres of land. As of December 31, 2001, the Property had an
occupancy percentage of 100%.

The Property was acquired by AmeriVest Properties Inc. and subsidiaries
("AmeriVest") from an unrelated party on September 5, 2002 for $22,000,000,
which was paid through the assumption of the existing $17,000,000 loan from J.P.
Morgan Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Corporation and the balance paid in
cash from a portion of the proceeds of the May 2002 public offering. In
addition, AmeriVest incurred approximately $305,000 in related acquisition fees
and costs, of which $251,910 represents the advisory fee earned by Sheridan
Realty Advisors, LLC, a related party, in connection with the acquisition in
accordance with the Property Management and Advisory Agreement.

The accounting records of the Property are maintained on the accrual basis. The
accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses was prepared pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and exclude
certain expenses such as mortgage 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 of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Interim Information (unaudited)
-------------------------------

In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim information as of June 30,

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 Parkway Centre II to land (18%) and building (82%) 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.
