ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OF ASSETS

         On June 14, 2004, Government Properties Trust, Inc. (GPT) completed its
previously announced acquisition of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
district headquarters complex in Lenexa, KS for approximately $10.5 million. The
purchase price was determined through arms-length negotiations between GPT and
the seller, an unrelated party. GPT funded the purchase price with cash on hand.

         The Lenexa property, completed in 1991, is fully leased by the federal
government under a modified gross lease. The property is occupied by the FDA and
consists of two buildings on 5.05 acres of land. The primary building consists
of office/lab space and totals over 48,000 leasable square feet. A secondary
annex building consists of over 5,000 leasable square feet. The current lease
for the primary building expires in June 2012 and the lease for the annex
building expires in September 2012.
