Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Purchase of Phoenix Office Building. On February 6, 2003, we acquired the
Southwest Gas Building (the "Property"). The Property is located in Phoenix,
Arizona and contains 147,660 rentable square feet on 7.38 acres of land. The
purchase price for the Property was $17,000,000, which was paid with $11,900,000
from our revolving credit facility from Fleet National Bank (the "Fleet
Facility") and $5,100,000 from a term loan also from Fleet National Bank (the
"Fleet Term Loan").

     The Property was purchased from LAFP Phoenix, Inc. (the "Seller"), an
unaffiliated party. The purchase price of the Property was determined through
negotiations between the Seller and us.

     The draw on the Fleet Facility, which occurred on February 6, 2003,
represents the third draw on a $42,000,000 revolving credit facility from Fleet
National Bank. The Fleet Facility was increased from $30,000,000 to $42,000,000
prior to the acquisition of the Property. The first draw was used to purchase
the Centerra building located in Denver, Colorado; the second draw was used to
purchase the Chateau Plaza building located in Dallas, Texas; and the Fleet
Facility is cross-collateralized by mortgages on all three properties. The
outstanding balance on the Fleet Facility as of April 22, 2003 is $40,357,660.
The Fleet Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 275 basis points, due in monthly
installments of interest only, with the principal balance and accrued interest
due on November 12, 2005. This loan may be prepaid at any time without penalty.

     The Fleet Term Loan represents a short-term loan from Fleet National Bank.
The Fleet Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 500 basis points, due in
monthly installments of interest only, with the principal balance and accrued
interest due on August 6, 2003.

     For a more complete description of this transaction, please see the
Agreement of Purchase and Sale between us and the Seller dated November 18, 2002
(the "Purchase Agreement"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1,
and our press release dated February 7, 2003, a copy of which is attached hereto
as Exhibit 99.1.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors
AmeriVest Properties Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses of
the Southwest Gas Office Building in Phoenix, Arizona (the "Property") for the
year ended December 31, 2002. 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 Southwest Gas
Office Building for the year ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses reflects the
operations of the Southwest Gas Office Building (the "Property"). The Property
consists of a single office building located in Phoenix, Arizona and contains
147,660 rentable square feet on 7.38 acres of land. As of December 31, 2002, the
Property had an occupancy rate of 92%.

     The Property was acquired by AmeriVest Properties Inc. and subsidiaries
("AmeriVest") from an unrelated party on February 6, 2003 for $17,000,000, which
was paid with $11,900,000 from a revolving credit facility with Fleet National
Bank and $5,100,000 from a term loan also from Fleet National Bank. In addition,
AmeriVest incurred approximately $60,000 in related acquisition fees and costs,
which are capitalized as a cost of acquiring the property.

     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.

NOTE 2 - OPERATING LEASES

for under non-cancelable operating leases.

              NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are
presented to reflect the acquisition of the Property by AmeriVest.

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet presents
the historical financial information of AmeriVest as of December 31, 2002 as
adjusted for the acquisition of the Property as if the transaction had occurred
on December 31, 2002.

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations
for the year ended December 31, 2002 combines the historical operations of
AmeriVest with the historical operations of the Property as if the transaction
had occurred on January 1, 2002.

     These pro forma statements may not be indicative of the results that
actually would have occurred if the combination had been in effect on the dates
indicated or which may be obtained in the future.

NOTE 2 - PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

     The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements reflect the
following pro forma adjustments:

(a) The net cash paid for the Property consists of the following:

           Purchase price                               $ 17,000,000
           Estimated acquisition costs                        60,000
           Loan origination fees                             331,841
           Less: mortgage loan                           (11,900,000)
           Less: term loan                                (5,100,000)
           Less: credit for accrued real estate taxes       (190,942)
           Less: credit for security deposits                (80,340)
                                                        ------------
           Cash paid                                    $    120,559
                                                        ============

(b) The purchase price of the Property was allocated to the assets and
liabilities based on estimated fair values.

(c) Of the $17,000,000 in debt used to acquire the Property, $11,900,000
represents the third draw on a $42,000,000 revolving credit facility from Fleet
National Bank (the "Fleet Facility") and $5,100,000 represents a short-term loan
also from Fleet National Bank (the "Fleet Term Loan"). The Fleet Facility bears
interest at LIBOR plus 275 basis points, due in monthly installments of interest
only, with the principal and accrued interest due on November 12, 2005. This
loan may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The Fleet Term Loan, a
six-month loan, bears interest at LIBOR plus 500 basis points, due in monthly
installments of interest only, with the principal and accrued interest due on
August 6, 2003. For purposes of these pro forma consolidated financial

                                      F-8


statements, it was assumed that the term on the Fleet Term Loan was extended
after the expiration of its initial six-month term. AmeriVest paid a 1.50% loan
restructuring fee on the increase in the Fleet Facility from $30,000,000 to
$42,000,000, a 2% loan origination fee on the Fleet Term Loan and additional
loan costs, which have been capitalized and are being amortized over the life of
the loans.

(d) Due to AmeriVest being internally managed beginning January 1, 2002, there
would be no management fee expense with respect to the Property. Adjustment to
management fees is as follows:
                                                            Year Ended

          Management fees paid to third parties              $   --
          Less: historical management fees                    (89,126)
                                                             --------
          Pro forma adjustment                               $(89,126)
                                                             ========


(e) Interest expense to be recognized related to the Fleet Facility and Fleet
Term Loan. Includes loan interest (assumed interest rates of 4.54% and 6.79% for
the Fleet Facility and Fleet Term Loan, respectively) and the amortization of
the loan restructuring and origination fees.

(f) Depreciation and amortization expense calculated assuming a 40-year useful
life for the building and 4-year useful life for tenant leasing commissions.

NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Pro forma earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2002 is
computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the periods presented.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Depreciation has been estimated based upon an allocation of the purchase
price of the Property to land (14%) and building (86%) and assuming (for tax
purposes) a 39-year useful life for the building 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.
