                                     PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Overview

     AmeriVest Properties Inc. was incorporated in 1993 in the State of Delaware
and was reincorporated in 1999 in the State of Maryland. We operate and intend
to continue to operate in a manner so that we qualify as a real estate
investment trust ("REIT"). Through our subsidiaries, we own a variety of
income-producing properties focused on small to mid size tenants, including 22
office properties in Colorado, Texas, Indiana and Wisconsin.

     All properties are managed under an agreement with Sheridan Realty
Advisors, LLC, which also manages our day-to-day operations and assists and
advises our Board of Directors on real estate acquisitions and investment
opportunities. Sheridan Realty Advisors receives an administrative fee and a
property management and accounting fee for these services. In addition, Sheridan
Realty Advisors receives incentive compensation in the form of warrants to
purchase up to 750,000 shares of our common stock at $5 per share through
December 2005 that vest based on meeting certain conditions and an advisory fee
based on new real property acquisitions. As of December 31, 2000, Sheridan
Realty Advisors had received $565,642 in cash compensation and has had
approximately 274,000 warrants vest under its agreement with us.

     Since 1999, we have focused our efforts on specializing in multi-tenant
office buildings with an average tenant size of between 2,500 and 3,000 square
feet in selected markets. Since 1990, the principals of Sheridan have operated
almost exclusively in this property type and we believe focusing our efforts on
these properties will generate higher returns to our stockholders than investing
in office buildings without this focus.

Business Strategy

Focus on Multi-Tenant Office Buildings in Target Growth Cities

     After the acquisition of the Keystone Buildings and the addition of two
Sheridan principals to our Board in 1999, we evaluated our existing real estate
portfolio and elected to refocus our efforts on the acquisition and development
of multi-tenant office buildings with an average tenant size of between 2,500
and 3,000 square feet in certain select cities. In addition, we elected to
pursue the sale of our non-office assets, which at the time included one
industrial and four self-storage properties. As of December 31, 2000, all our
remaining assets are office buildings.

     The Case for an Office Focus

     We believe the public equity markets for REITs reward a strongly focused
strategy and that the office sector receives a relatively higher valuation than
do other property types. We believe the reason for this is that the demand for
office space has continued to grow as the economy has transitioned from
manufacturing to service businesses. We believe that demand will continue in our
target markets. Though much has been written recently about the "New Economy"
characterized by information technology, in fact this transition to a
knowledge-based economy has occurred steadily since the turn of the century.
According to Cognetics, Inc., a leading research firm in the area of economic
change and new company formation, the percentage of "white collar"/service
employment rose from 27% in 1900 to 71% in 1995.

                                       2



     The Case for Small Tenants

     Within the growing office sector, we believe that a niche focus on
properties with small average tenant sizes is appropriate due to the strongly
positive "corporate demographics" of small firms. According to data compiled by
Cognetics, there were more than eight million companies in the U.S. economy in
1997. Fully 98% of these firms employ fewer than 100 employees, and this 98% now
employs almost 50% of all workers. Assuming each office worker occupies the
national average of 150 square feet, most firms require less than 15,000 square
feet of office space. In fact, this research further reveals that 90% of all
firms employ fewer than 20 employees, indicating an average office space
requirement of no more than 3,000 square feet.

     The two frequently cited concerns about the small and mid-sized tenant
office market are its perceived high level of credit risk and its management
intensity. As explained below, we have found that both these concerns are
overstated, and can be addressed by proper staffing and management systems
tailored to this tenant base. These perceived risks are higher than the actual
risks and hence we believe that they provide an effective barrier to entry for
competition and an attractive "expertise-arbitrage" opportunity for us.

     Regarding credit risk, we maintain a high level of credit quality in our
largest office buildings through accounting and collection systems that flag any
late payments and rigorously impose late payment penalty charges. Eviction
action is quickly taken if a tenant does not make timely lease payments. These
control systems are centralized in our Denver headquarters, and monitored by an
experienced accounting staff with many years of service with Sheridan, our
advisor. We believe that we can maintain and improve this high level of credit
quality in all our properties.

     Our experience has shown that the issue of management intensity is largely
a matter of mind-set. Middle market tenants are viewed as problematic primarily
because most property managers are accustomed to giving priority to the large
users. With our deliberate focus on small to mid-size users, we bring a
positive, service-oriented mentality to our tenants.

     Our largest buildings (Sheridan Center, Keystone and Sheridan Plaza) staff
an on-site "Tenant Relations Manager" whose job description is to interface
regularly with all tenants and maximize tenant retention. There also is a
building engineer assigned to these properties to deal with physical
maintenance. The Tenant Relations Manager, unlike a conventional property
manager, does not have responsibility for the physical operation of a building,
but rather is solely dedicated to tenant issues with a singular focus on tenant
retention. The Tenant Relations Manager personifies our service-oriented
mentality and is available to resolve minor tenant service complaints before
they fester into major issues.

     Our Tenant Relations Managers report directly to a senior manager in the
Denver headquarters, providing direct and regular feedback on tenant concerns.
We believe that as we acquire additional buildings of a size sufficient to
support a Tenant Relations Manager, we will improve our tenant retention rates
over those of our competitors. Over time, we believe that smaller tenants
actually are less demanding than large tenants, who use their economic leverage
not only in initial lease negotiations but throughout their tenancy as well.


AmeriVest Growth Cities

     Within the niche of multi-tenant properties with smaller average tenant
size, we have elected to narrow our focus even further by restricting
acquisition or development activities to institutionally-sized product

                                       3



(generally a building or project containing 100,000 square feet, unless adding
to an existing metropolitan portfolio) within certain target cities where we
hope to build meaningful multi-property portfolios over the short and medium
term. In order to employ our management resources in the most efficient manner,
these target cities were selected to be within a two-hour travel radius by air
from our Denver headquarters. The target cities also had to be large enough in
total office square footage to offer the possibility of multiple acquisitions
and liquidity in the event of a desired sale and had to have a high
concentration of firms of fewer than 20 employees as derived from the Cognetics
data discussed previously. Using a minimum of 45 million square feet of total
office space (this number includes both single-tenant and multi-tenant
properties), and at least 89% of firms fewer than 20 employees, the top ten
cities (ranked in order of projected ten-year growth) within our targeted
geographic range are as follows:

                               1.  Phoenix
                               2.  Salt Lake City
                               3.  San Francisco
                               4.  San Diego
                               5.  Denver
                               6.  Minneapolis
                               7.  San Antonio
                               8.  Indianapolis
                               9.  Dallas
                               10. Houston

     The geographic logic of these proposed cities is strong. Sheridan has
experience owning and managing properties in both Phoenix and Dallas, as well as
its current activities in Denver and Indianapolis. We already have a large
existing portfolio of buildings in Texas that will be complemented by a focus on
the three largest cities in the state. Interestingly, all ten of our targeted
cities score in the upper half of the 1999 edition of the "Momentum Index",
developed by the consulting firm of Landauer Real Estate Counselors to measure
the quality and sustained growth prospects of the 66 largest office markets
nationwide. Initially we intend to focus our acquisition efforts on the Denver,
Phoenix and Indianapolis markets.

Operating Performance and Stockholder Return

     Since 1997 (our first full year as a public company), our average annual
total return to stockholders has been more than 20%. The following table
compares our total return based on stock price appreciation and reinvestment of
all dividends with the Industry and the S&P 500, as reported by Morningstar.

     We believe that by focusing on a specific property type in cities with a
growing small tenant market, we should be able to increase our revenues, our
earnings, and our funds from operations (FFO). Although there is no assurance or
guarantee, it is our intention that growth in our revenues, earnings and FFO
will, over the long term, result in an increase in our stock price and the total
return to our stockholders.

Equity Offerings

     In October 1996, we sold an aggregate of 1,098,870 shares of common stock
and 549,435 common stock purchase warrants in our initial public offering. The
aggregate gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $5.5 million and
the net proceeds to us were approximately $4.5 million. The warrants issued in
this offering expired in November 2000 with none having been exercised.

     In 1997 and 1998, we issued an aggregate of 55,200 shares of common stock
as consideration for the acquisition of three office buildings in Texas. In 1998
and 1999, we issued an additional 249,187 shares of common stock (valued at
$4.50 and $5.00 per share) as consideration for the acquisition of 15 more
office buildings in Texas.

     In 1999, we issued an additional 541,593 common shares valued at $4.75 per
share as consideration for the acquisition of the Keystone Buildings.

     In July and August 2000, we issued an aggregate of 600,000 shares of common
stock and 300,000 warrants in a secondary public offering. The aggregate gross
proceeds from the offering were $3.0 million and net proceeds of approximately
$2.93 million were used to acquire additional real estate properties, repay debt
and increase working capital. The warrants are exercisable for $5.00 per share
until July 10, 2005. In March 2001, 177,442 of these warrants were exercised.

     In September 2000, we issued 131,784 shares and 65,892 warrants valued at
$658,918 as consideration for the acquisition of a 9.639% limited liability
company interest in Sheridan Investments, LLC discussed below.

     In December 2000, we issued 16,305 shares valued at $79,376 ($4.87 per
share) as consideration for the acquisition of a key man life insurance policy
on our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

     Since January 2001, we have issued an additional 177,442 shares of our
common stock upon conversion of certain warrants issued in the 2000 public
offering and 17,000 shares of our common stock upon exercise of stock options by
a former director and a former employee.

     We have entered into a letter of intent concerning a proposed public
offering of approximately $10 million of our common stock, with an over
allotment option for the underwriter to purchase up to an additional $1.5
million of common stock for a period of 30 days after the offering at a price
equal to the public offering price less commissions and discounts. We anticipate
that the offering will occur in the second quarter of 2001. The letter of intent
is not binding and there is no assurance that the offering will occur. This
statement shall not constitute an offer of any of these securities for sale. The
offering will be made only pursuant to a registration statement and prospectus
filed with the SEC in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Recent Acquisitions

     On August 12, 1999, we completed the acquisition of three office buildings,
known as the Keystone Buildings, located in suburban Indianapolis, Indiana. The
Keystone Buildings contain a total of 95,86236 square feet of rentable space.
The total purchase price for the Keystone Buildings was $7,944,000, which we
paid by assuming approximately $5,255,000 of existing debt and $116,400 of
related escrow balances on the properties and issuing 541,593 shares of our
common stock at $4.75 per share. In conjunction with the assumption of the debt,
we also agreed to indemnify the original guarantors of this debt if we fail to
repay it. See "Item 2. Properties--Description of Specific Properties-- Keystone
Office Buildings" below.

     On December 13, 1999, we sold our industrial office and showroom building
in Denver, Colorado for $2.1 million, resulting in a gain on the sale of the
property of approximately $737,000. We reinvested approximately $514,000 in net
proceeds from this transaction in a tax-deferred exchange under Section 1031 of
the Internal Revenue Code on May 25, 2000, purchasing a 62,000 square foot
three-story office building on six acres of land in Arapahoe County, Colorado
known as Panorama Falls for $5.9 million. See "Item 2. Properties--Description
of Specific Properties--Panorama Falls Building" below.

                                       5



     On August 25 2000, we sold our four self-storage facilities located in
Denver for $8.4 million, resulting in a gain on sale of approximately $2.5
million. The net proceeds from this sale of approximately $1.8 million together
with mortgage financing and offering proceeds were used to complete an IRS
Section 1031 exchange for three office buildings in southeast Denver, Colorado,
which were purchased on August 31, 2000 for $9.6 million. See "Item 2.
Properties--Description of Specific Properties--Sheridan Center" below.

     On September 29, 2000, we purchased a 9.639% preferred limited liability
company membership interest in Sheridan Investments, LLC, the sole owner of
Sheridan Plaza at Inverness, LLC, which owns two office buildings in Englewood,
Colorado, containing approximately 119,000 square feet and located on
approximately 6.7 acres of land. The aggregate purchase price for the interest
was $658,918, which we paid by issuing 131,784 shares of common stock and 65,892
common stock purchase warrants at $5 per share. See "Item 2.
Properties--Description of Specific Properties--Sheridan Plaza at Inverness"
below.

Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements And Cautionary Statements

     Forward Looking Statements. This annual report includes "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act and Section
27A of the Securities Act. All statements other than statements of historical
facts included in or incorporated into this annual report regarding our
financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for
future operations and capital expenditures are forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations and
assumptions will prove to have been correct.

     Additional statements concerning important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from our expectations ("Cautionary Statements") are
disclosed below in this annual report. All written and oral forward-looking
statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf subsequent to the
date of this annual report are expressly qualified in their entirety by the
Cautionary Statements.

     Cautionary Statements. In addition to the other information contained in
this annual report, the following Cautionary Statements should be considered
when evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this annual report:

Real estate investments are inherently risky.

     Real estate investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. The yields
available from equity investments in real estate depend on the amount of income
and capital appreciation generated by the properties held by the entity in which
the investment is made. If we acquire properties and they do not generate
sufficient operating cash flow to meet operating expenses, including debt
service, capital expenditures and tenant improvements, our income and ability to
pay dividends to our stockholders will be adversely affected. Income from
properties may be adversely affected by the general economic climate, local
conditions, the attractiveness of properties to tenants, zoning or other
regulatory restrictions, competition from other office buildings, and our
inability to control certain operating costs, including site maintenance,
insurance premiums and real estate taxes. Income from properties and real estate
values also are affected by such factors as applicable laws, including tax laws,
interest rate levels and the availability of financing.

                                       6



Real estate development and rehabilitation is inherently risky.

     Real estate development and rehabilitation is subject to other risks,
including the following:

     o    the risks of difficult and complicated construction projects,
     o    the risks related to the use of contractors and subcontractors to
          perform all construction activities,
     o    the risk of development delays, unanticipated increases in
          construction costs, environmental issues and regulatory approvals, and
     o    financial risks relating to financing and construction loan
          difficulties.

Additionally, the time frame required for development, construction and lease-up
of these properties means that we might have to wait a few years for a
significant cash return. Because we are required to make cash distributions to
investors, if the cash flow from operations or refinancing is not sufficient, we
may be forced to borrow to fund such distributions.

We face a strong competitive market.

     The commercial real estate industry is highly competitive, and we compete
with substantially larger companies, including substantially larger REITs, for
the acquisition, development and operation of properties. Some of these
companies are national or regional operators with far greater resources than
ours. The presence of these competitors may be a significant impediment to the
continuation and development of our business.

Our debt level may have a negative impact on our income and asset value.

     We have incurred indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of our
properties and we may incur new indebtedness in the future in connection with
our acquisition, development and operating activities. As a result of our use of
debt, we will be subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing.
The required payments on mortgages and on other indebtedness are not reduced if
the economic performance of any property declines. If any such decline occurs,
our ability to make debt service payments would be adversely affected. If a
property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and we are unable to
meet mortgage payments, that property could be transferred to the mortgagee with
a consequent loss of income and asset value.

     Our debt to total capitalization ratio exceeds those normally carried by
our competitors and REITs in general. While we believe that our level of
leverage is normal for a direct private or institutional investor, our higher
leverage levels may make it difficult to obtain any additional financing based
on our current portfolio. Our high leverage levels may also adversely affect the
market value of our stock if we are perceived as more risky than our peers.

We may not pay dividends regularly.

     Our ability to pay dividends in the future is dependent on our ability to
operate profitably and to generate cash from our operations. Although we have
done so in the past, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to pay dividends
on a regular quarterly basis in the future.

We may incur tax liabilities as a result of failing to qualify as a REIT.

     We believe that we have been organized and operated so as to qualify as a
REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. However, we cannot assure that we will
continue to be qualified as a REIT. Qualification as a REIT involves the
application of highly technical and complex Internal Revenue Code provisions for
which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations. The
determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within
our control may affect our ability to qualify as a REIT. In addition, we cannot
predict that legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or
court decisions will not have a substantially adverse effect with respect to the
qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of that
qualification.

                                       7



     If we are unable to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we would not be
allowed a deduction for distributions to stockholders in computing our taxable
income and would be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable
alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates.
Unless entitled to relief under certain Internal Revenue Code provisions, we
also would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years
following the year during which REIT qualification was lost. As a result, the
funds available for distribution to the stockholders would be reduced for each
of the years involved. In addition, we may incur substantial indebtedness or may
liquidate substantial investments in order to pay the resulting federal income
tax liabilities if differences in timing between the receipt of income and
payment of expenses and the inclusion of those amounts in arriving at our
taxable income. We may have to borrow in order to make the distributions to our
stockholders that are necessary to satisfy the distribution requirements
applicable to REITs. Although we currently intend to operate in a manner
designed to qualify as a REIT, it is possible that future economic, market,
legal, tax or other considerations may cause us to revoke the REIT election.

We may have to make distributions to stockholders.

     In order to qualify as a REIT, we generally will be required each year to
distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income
(excluding any net capital gains). In addition, we will be subject to a 4%
nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which certain distributions
paid by us with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our
ordinary income plus 95% of our capital gain net income for that year.

     We intend to make distributions to our stockholders to comply with the 90%
distribution requirement and to avoid the nondeductible excise tax. We may have
to borrow funds on a short-term basis to meet the 90% distribution requirement
and to avoid the nondeductible excise tax if differences in timing between
taxable income and cash available for distribution exist.

Some of our buildings are subject to special income tax considerations.

     If we sell our Giltedge or Sheridan Center buildings before 2006 (ten years
after the original acquisition date of the property or the exchange property),
we will be required to pay tax at the highest applicable corporate rates on the
difference between its fair market value and its adjusted bases at the time of
our REIT election. By utilizing a property exchange under Section 1031 of the
Internal Revenue Code, we may be able to defer the recognition of gain until
after the 10-year period expires in 2006 so that we are not subject to the
highest applicable corporate rates. If we are subject to the highest corporate
rate, the amount of this tax could be substantial and would be significantly
more than if we would be permitted to use our own adjusted basis. There is a
risk that we would not have sufficient cash available to pay the additional
taxes resulting from the lower adjusted bases for these properties. As long as
these higher tax liabilities apply, we currently do not intend to sell this
property unless other economic, financial and business consequences of the sale
would offset the higher tax liabilities and lead us to believe it would be in
our best interests to effect such a sale. The factors we would consider at the
time of selling these properties include the price we are able to receive and
our ability to defer the taxes through a Section 1031 exchange.

There is limited liquidity in our real estate investments.

     Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. Our ability to vary our
portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions will be
limited. We cannot ascertain whether we will be able to dispose of an investment
when we find disposition advantageous or necessary or that the sale price of any
disposition will recoup or exceed the amount of our investment.

There is a limited market for our shares.

     Historically, there has been an extremely limited public market for our
common stock. We cannot guarantee that the market will be sustained or will
expand. Due to the limited trading volume and small capitalization of our common
stock, many investors may not be interested in owning our securities because of
the higher risks associated with limited trading volume and small market
capitalization such as the inability to sell a substantial block of stock at one
time without driving down prices. This could have an adverse effect on the
market for our common stock. In addition, there is no assurance that an investor
will be in a position to borrow funds using our securities as collateral because
lenders may be unwilling to accept the pledge of these securities because of the
limited market.

     Our equity market capitalization places us at the extreme low end of market
capitalization among all REITs. As a result of our small market cap,
substantially all of our investors are retail investors. Institutional investors
who have traditionally provided support for most REIT shares represent an
insignificant percentage of our total ownership. This limits the ability for
investors to acquire substantial blocks of our stock. This also places a
near-term cap on capital appreciation for our shares if significant stockholders
decide to sell.

Our uninsured and underinsured losses could result in loss of value of
properties.

     We maintain comprehensive insurance on each of the properties, including
liability, fire and extended coverage. We believe this coverage is of the type
and amount customarily obtained for or by an owner on real property assets. We
will obtain similar insurance coverage on subsequently acquired properties.
However, there are certain types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature,
such as earthquakes and floods, that may be uninsurable or not economically
insurable, as to which our facilities are at risk in their particular locales.
Our management will use its discretion in determining amounts, coverage limits
and deductibility provisions of insurance, with a view to requiring appropriate
insurance on our investments at a reasonable cost and on suitable terms. This
may result in insurance coverage that in the event of a substantial loss would
not be sufficient to pay the full current market value or current replacement
cost of our lost investment. Inflation, changes in codes and ordinances,
environmental considerations, and other factors also might make it not feasible
to use insurance proceeds to replace a facility after it has been damaged or
destroyed.

We may suffer environmental liabilities.

     Under various environmental laws, a current or previous owner or operator
of real property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of
hazardous or toxic substances including, without limitation, asbestos-containing
materials that are located on or under the property. These laws often impose
liability whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the
presence of those substances. In connection with our ownership and operation of
properties, we may be liable for these costs. Also, our ability to arrange for
financing secured by that real property might be adversely affected because of
the presence of hazardous or toxic substances or the failure to properly
remediate any contamination.

                                       9



Non-compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act could result in fines.

     Under the ADA, all public accommodations are required to meet certain
federal requirements related to physical access and use by disabled persons.
While we believe that our properties comply in all material respects with these
physical requirements (or would be eligible for applicable exemptions from
material requirements because of adaptive assistance provided), a determination
that we are not in compliance with the ADA could result in imposition of fines
or an award of damages to private litigants. If we were required to make
modifications to comply with the ADA, our ability to make expected distributions
to our stockholders could be adversely affected; however, we believe that this
effect would be minimal.

Certain Factors may Inhibit Changes in Control of AmeriVest Properties.

     Charter and Bylaw Provisions. Certain provisions of our charter and bylaws
may delay or prevent a change in control of our company or other transactions
that could provide our common stockholders with a premium over the
then-prevailing market price of their common stock or that might otherwise be in
the best interests of our stockholders. These include a staggered board of
directors and the ability of our board of directors to authorize the issuance of
preferred stock without stockholder approval. Also, any future series of
preferred stock may have voting provisions that could delay or prevent a change
in control or other transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise
be in the best interests of our stockholders.

     Ownership Limit. In order to assist the company in maintaining its
qualification as a REIT, our bylaws contains certain provisions generally
limiting the ownership of shares of capital stock by any single stockholder to
9.8% of our outstanding shares, unless waived by the Board of Directors. These
provisions could also delay or prevent an acquisition or change in control of
our company that could benefit our stockholders.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

     At December 31, 2000, we owned and operated 22 office properties in
Colorado, Texas, Indiana and Wisconsin. Other than as described under
"Description of Specific Properties", we have no plans to renovate our operating
office properties other than for routine capital maintenance. We believe all our
properties are adequately covered by insurance. We believe that, as a result of
our unique operating model and experience as an owner, operator and developer of
small tenant office properties, given access to capital, we will continue to be
able to identify and consummate acquisition and development opportunities and
operate our portfolio more effectively than competitors without such experience
in our specific property type in the markets we target. We compete, however, in
all of our markets with other real estate operators, some of which may have been
active in such markets for a longer period than us.

portfolio as of December 31, 2000 by square footage:

Description of Specific Properties

     The Sheridan Center buildings (Denver, CO), the Keystone Office Buildings
(Indianapolis, IN) and the Panorama Falls Building (Englewood, CO) are our only
properties that have a book value in excess of ten percent of the total book
value of our assets. The following is a description of these properties,
together with a description of Sheridan Plaza at Inverness.

     Sheridan Center. We acquired these office buildings, formerly known as The
Writer Buildings, on August 31, 2000. They are now known as "Sheridan Center"
The project consists of one four-story, one five-story and one eight-story
office building on 3.74 acres of land. The buildings total 143,210 square feet
and site improvements include parking for approximately 400 cars, including 129
spaces in a separate surface lot. The buildings were built in 1966, 1968 and
1971 and, prior to our renovation, would be considered "C" class buildings.

                                       12



     The total purchase price of $9.6 million was paid by using approximately
$1.8 million in proceeds from the August 2000 sale of the self-storage
facilities, approximately $7.5 million from the proceeds of a mortgage loan from
US Bank and the balance from the cash proceeds of our 2000 public offering. The
acquisition was structured as a tax-deferred exchange of our self-storage
properties under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.

     The Sheridan Center buildings were purchased from WCD Associates, LLC and
EBD Associates, LLC. The purchase price was determined through negotiations
between the sellers and us.

     Sheridan Center is leased to approximately 115 tenants at base rental rates
ranging from $8.22 to $17.50 per rentable square foot. Lease terms range from
one year to five years. Sheridan Realty Advisors, LLC, our property manager and
advisor, leases 2,849 square feet at a base rent of $17.50 per square foot,
which increases to $18.00 per square foot in February 2002, through January 31,
2003. We believe that this lease is at current market rates for the property.

     We are substantially renovating the buildings at a cost of up to $4.5
million. Funds for the renovation expenses are expected to come from working
capital and additional proceeds under the US Bank loan or a refinancing of the
property. Exterior improvements include a new exterior facade for each building
which tie the buildings together visually, a new entry and handicap access ramp,
resurfaced parking lots with new landscape and lighting, new fixed and operable
thermal windows, improved HVAC systems and new fire safety sprinklers and
systems. Interior improvements include refurbished lobbies and hallways with new
carpet and lighting, new oak suite entry doors and sidelights, new building and
suite signage, computerized touch-screen building directories, keyless entry
systems to the building and each suite monitored by computer, refurbished
bathrooms with new tile, lighting, paint and ADA fixtures and a new selection of
interior tenant finish packages.

     Work has commenced on two buildings and is expected to be completed by the
third quarter of 2001. When the renovations are completed, we expect that the
buildings will be reclassified as "B" buildings and command significantly higher
rental rates.

     The US Bank loan of up to $9.3 million bears interest at a rate tied to
LIBOR and is due on August 31, 2003. The maturity may be extended under certain
conditions to August 31, 2004. The US Bank Loan is secured by a first mortgage
on the Sheridan Center buildings. As of December 31, 2000, approximately
$1,605,000 was available for renovation advances under the terms of the loan
agreement. We expect to draw down the full amount of the US Bank loan and may
need to refinance or increase the amount of the US Bank loan in order to
complete the planned renovations.

     The property is located in a central location between downtown Denver and
the southeast suburbs along Interstate 25 at Colorado Boulevard. There is
substantial competition from existing buildings, many of which are newer than
Sheridan Center.

     The occupancy rate for Sheridan Center at December 31, 2000 was 90.0%.
There are no tenants occupying 10% or more of the rentable space. The following
is a schedule as of January 1, 2001 of lease expirations for Sheridan Center for
the next ten years:

     Keystone Office Buildings. We acquired the Keystone Office Buildings in
Indianapolis, Indiana (the "Keystone Buildings") from an affiliate of our
Advisor effective July 1, 1999. The total purchase price was $7,944,000, which
we paid by assuming approximately $5,255,000 of existing debt and $116,400 of
related escrow balances and issuing 541,593 shares of our common stock at a
price of $4.75 per share. The Keystone Buildings consist of three two-story
multi-tenant office buildings located at 3021, 3077 and 3091 East 98th Street at
the intersection of 98th Street and North Keystone Avenue (US 431) in north
central Indianapolis, Indiana. These buildings comprise approximately 95,862
total rentable square feet on approximately 9.041 acres of land with 336 surface
parking spaces, plus a 1,596 square foot freestanding maintenance building. The
Keystone Buildings were constructed and completed from 1984 to 1986.

     The Keystone Buildings are leased to various business entities for general
office space purposes. We recently completed major capital improvements to the
Keystone Buildings, including new common area carpets and lighting, an
electronic directory system, telecommunications wiring and exterior cleaning and
refurbishing. We intend to continue to operate and hold the Keystone Buildings
for income purposes. The Keystone Buildings compete with several mid-rise office
buildings in the area, including buildings owned by Duke-Weeks Realty Corp., a
dominant owner in the Indianapolis market.

     The occupancy rate for the Keystone Buildings at December 31, 2000 was
93.7%. There is one tenant occupying 10% or more of the rentable space of the
Keystone Buildings. The principal businesses of this tenant are insurance and
financial services. The following is a schedule as of January 1, 2001 of lease
expirations for the Keystone Buildings for the next ten years:

     Panorama Falls Building. The Panorama Falls Building is located at 9085
East Mineral Circle in Englewood, Colorado and was acquired in May 2000. The
total purchase price was $5,900,000, which we paid by using approximately
$514,000 in proceeds from the sale of our industrial and showroom building in
Denver, $300,000 from our line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank West, N.A.,
approximately $200,000 from the proceeds of a temporary loan from the Alexander
S. Hewitt Trust and the balance of approximately $4,919,800 from the proceeds of
a loan from Key Bank National Association. The Panorama Falls Building consists
of a three-story office building with 61,963 square feet on approximately six
acres of land. The site improvements include parking for approximately 400 cars,
exterior lighting and landscaping and a small waterfall and pond at the main
entrance. The building was constructed in 1983 and contains fully built-out
office space, common areas with a building conference room and a mechanical
basement area, which contains the air conditioning, electrical and heating
systems for the building.

                                       14



     We acquired the Panorama Falls Building with the intention to refurbish the
building for small tenants, construct an additional building of approximately
40,000 square feet on an adjacent vacant building pad on the property and market
the building to our target market. During the acquisition, we received an offer
from Rhythms NetConnections, a national telecommunications company, which had
substantially better economics than our proposed renovation plan. Although we
had concerns about the profitability and long-term viability of the tenant, we
determined that it was in the best interests of the stockholders to lease the
building to this tenant and defer the renovation plans to a later date.

     In February 2001, Rhythms announced that it had cash, investments and
restricted cash of $569 million at December 31, 2000 and that these monies,
along with available vendor equipment financing were expected to finance
Rhythms' operational needs into the first quarter of 2002.

     The Panorama Falls Building is located in a suburban business park where
there is substantial competition from existing buildings, many of which are
newer than Panorama Falls. CarrAmerica, a large office building owner, owns
several properties nearby and will compete directly with the subject property.
Sheridan Plaza at Inverness, LLC, an affiliate of Sheridan Realty Advisors, our
advisor, in which we have a 9.639% indirect interest, owns two Class A office
buildings aggregating 119,000 square feet that are located within three miles of
Panorama Falls. One of these buildings, Sheridan Plaza, is 100% leased, so we do
not believe it is presently competitive with the Panorama Falls Building.

     The Panorama Building is 100% leased to two tenants: Comcast Corporation, a
cable television company, which leases 10,080 square feet through May 24, 2002
and Rhythms NetConnections, Inc., a telecommunications company, which leases
51,883 through May 24, 2002 and the entire building (61,963 SF) from May 25,
2002 through September 30, 2008. The following is a schedule as of January 1,
2001 of lease expirations for the Panorama Falls Building for the next ten
years:

Leases with Credit Tenants

     Approximately 42% of our rental income in 2000 came from tenants that we
consider to be better than average "credit tenants", including the State of
Texas, Bank of America, Ameritech and Comcast Corporation.

     State of Texas Office Building Leases. Fourteen office buildings
consolidated in the above table under "Properties" are leased to the State of
Texas with primary lease periods ranging from six months to eight years. Most of
the leases grant five multiple renewal option periods of three years to five
years at the election of the tenant. The Clint, Paris and Amarillo leases are
the only leases that expire without additional option periods, in November 2001,
August 2002, and August 2003, respectively.

                                       15



     Although the leases with the State of Texas regarding the State of Texas
Office Buildings each include a specific termination date, the State of Texas
may terminate a lease at any time that the legislature of the State of Texas
fails to appropriate funds necessary to pay required rents, or federally-funded
programs housed in a State of Texas Office Building are discontinued. Prior to
terminating the lease, the State of Texas may assign another agency to fill or
partially fill the rented space, and the lease would be adjusted accordingly.
Despite this risk, we have no information that would lead us to believe that the
State of Texas is considering any such terminations. Should the State of Texas
terminate or fail to renew a lease, however, it may be difficult to locate
another tenant for certain buildings in smaller cities or remote locations.

     Bank Building Leases. Approximately 63% of four buildings in the above
table consolidated as "Bank of America Buildings" are leased to Bank of America
on a long-term basis, with the primary lease through June 2012. The leases with
the Bank of America provide for automatic rent increases every three years at a
predetermined rate. They also provide for multiple renewal option periods for
Bank of America. The other leases in the Bank Buildings are with smaller tenants
and range from one year to three years in length.

Property Improvements

     We currently intend to spend up to $5 million for capital improvements
(including tenant finish) on our properties during 2001. This amount is expected
to be funded from working capital and additional borrowing and is in addition to
amounts that will be expended for routine maintenance and repairs.

Mortgages and Promissory Notes

     Substantially all of our properties are secured by mortgages. The following
is a summary of our indebtedness, including mortgage debt:

Insurance

     We believe that each of our properties is adequately covered by insurance
under a blanket policy.

Depreciation

     For a discussion of the treatment of the depreciation of the properties in
the financial statements, see "Item 7. Financial Statements--Notes To Financial
Statements".

Competition

     The business of managing, leasing and operating office buildings is very
competitive and we compete for tenants with other office buildings, including
buildings owned by larger companies with more financial and other resources
available to them. We believe that our niche focus on multi-tenant office
buildings with smaller average tenant sizes will improve our ability to compete.
Competitive conditions relating specifically to the Sheridan Center, Keystone
and Giltedge Office Buildings are described above under "Properties".

                                       17



Employees

     At December 31, 2000, Sheridan Realty Advisors, LLC had 28 employees that
spent the majority of their time on our business. This includes five senior
executives as well as 23 administrative, support, and property management
personnel. As of December 31, 2000, we had no direct employees.

Environmental Matters

     Under various federal, state and local laws and regulations, an owner or
operator of real property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation
of certain hazardous or toxic substances on that property. These laws often
impose such liability regardless of whether the owner caused or knew of the
presence of hazardous or toxic substances and regardless of whether the storage
of those substances was in violation of a tenant's lease. Furthermore, the costs
of remediation or removal of those substances may be substantial, and the
presence of hazardous or toxic substances, or the failure to promptly remediate
those substances, may adversely affect the owner's ability to sell the property
or to borrow money using the property as collateral. In connection with the
ownership and operation of the properties, we may be potentially liable for such
costs.

     We have obtained an environmental assessment of each of our properties.
Based on those assessments, management believes that the properties are in
compliance in all material respects with all applicable federal, state and local
ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances and other
environmental matters or that, to the extent that a property is not in
compliance, we will not be subject to material liability. In addition, we have
not been, nor do we have knowledge that any of the previous owners of the
properties have been, notified by any governmental authority of any material
noncompliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic substances or
other environmental substances in connection with any of the properties.
Although we have obtained environmental assessments of the properties, and
although we are not aware of any notifications by any governmental authority of
any material noncompliance, it is possible that our assessments do not reveal
all environmental liabilities or that there are material environmental
liabilities of which we are unaware.

     After acquisition of the Sheridan Center buildings, we embarked on an
asbestos remediation program to remove, wherever practicable, asbestos
containing materials in the buildings, including ceiling tiles, drywall joint
compound, wood and metal fire doors, wall texture, mudded pipe elbows and
valves, thermal systems insulation, floor tile and mastic and boiler insulation.
Most of the remediation has been completed except for one building, which is
expected to be completed over the next few years as tenants vacate spaces,
allowing access to the asbestos materials. The cost of the asbestos remediation
will be included in the capital improvement budget for Sheridan Center.

Policies and Objectives With Respect to Certain Activities

     The following is a discussion of our policies with respect to investment,
financing and certain other activities. The policies with respect to these
activities have been determined by our Board Of Directors and, although the
Board currently does not contemplate any changes to these policies, the Board
may change these policies without a vote or other approval of stockholders.

     Acquisition, Development And Investment Policies.

     Our business and growth strategies are designed to maximize total return to
stockholders over the medium and long term with a niche property-type and
geographic focus. Our current policies contemplate the possibility of (1) direct
ownership of real estate properties, including ownership through wholly-owned

                                       18



subsidiaries, focusing on office properties with average tenant sizes of between
2,500 and 3,000 square feet, (2) indirect participation in those types of
properties through investments in corporations, business trusts, general
partnerships, limited partnerships, joint ventures and other legal entities, and
(3) development and acquisition of unimproved property or the acquisition and
conversion of existing structures. At the present time, all of our existing and
contemplated investments in real estate properties are held through direct
ownership and a minority interest in a limited liability company. Generally, we
intend to hold our properties for the long term. However, we may sell properties
when we believe the economic benefits, including the income tax consequences, to
the stockholders warrant such action. In the case of the Giltedge Office
Building, there are special income tax considerations that may require us to
hold it for 10 years from the date of its purchase, unless we are able to
structure a tax-deferred exchange. Our long-term view is to focus on
multi-tenant office buildings in select cities and dispose of non-core assets
and property types when economically and operationally feasible. See "Risk
Factors - Some of our buildings are subject to special income tax
considerations."

     Although we have no formal policy as to the allocation of assets among our
investments, we generally intend to limit investment in a single property to a
maximum of 25% of our total assets. We expect to fund future development and
acquisitions utilizing funds from additional indebtedness, future offerings of
our securities, sale or exchange of existing properties and retained cash flow.
We believe our capital structure is advantageous because it permits us to
acquire additional properties by issuing equity securities in whole or in part
as consideration for the acquired properties. In order to maintain our
qualification as a REIT, we must make annual distributions to our stockholders
of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not include net capital
gains). This requirement may impair our ability to use retained cash flow for
future acquisitions.

     Financing Policies.

     We intend to make additional investments in properties and may incur
indebtedness to make those investments or to meet the distribution requirements
imposed by the REIT provisions of the Code, to the extent that cash flow from
our operations, investments and working capital is insufficient. Additional
indebtedness incurred by us may be secured by part or all of our real estate
properties. We have no limitation on the number or amount of secured
indebtedness or mortgages that may be placed on any one of our properties.

     Secured indebtedness incurred by us may be in the form of purchase money
obligations to the sellers of properties, publicly or privately placed debt
instruments or financing from banks, institutional investors or other lenders.
This indebtedness may be recourse to all or any part of our assets, or may be
limited to the particular property to which the indebtedness relates. The
proceeds from any borrowings by us may be used for refinancing existing
indebtedness, for financing development and acquisition of properties, for the
payment of dividends and for working capital.

     If the Board determines to raise additional equity capital, the Board has
the authority, generally without stockholder approval, to issue additional
common stock, preferred stock or other of our capital stock in any manner (and
on such terms and for such consideration) as it deems appropriate, including in
exchange for property. Existing stockholders have no preemptive right to
purchase shares issued in any offering, and any such offering might cause a
dilution of a stockholder's investment in us.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding (nor is our property the
subject of a pending legal proceeding) that we believe would have a material
adverse effect on us.

who hold shares in their names on behalf of others (in "street name"), there
were approximately 523 beneficial owners of common stock, as of February 22,
2001.

     Dividend Policy. We paid a dividend of $.125 per share in the third and
fourth quarters of 2000 and a dividend of $.12 per share in the first and second
quarters of 2000. This represents an annualized rate of $.49 per share. We also
declared a dividend of $.125 per share payable in April 2001. We anticipate
paying regularly quarterly dividends in the future.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATION

     The following is a discussion and comparison of the financial condition and
results of operations of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31,
2000 and 1999. These discussions should be read in conjunction with our
financial statements, the notes to the financial statements, and the other
financial data included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

Results of Operations

Comparison of year ended December 31, 2000 with year ended December 31, 1999
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 increased approximately
$1,246,000, and operating expenses, real estate taxes, interest, and
depreciation and amortization increased approximately $310,000, $71,000,
$472,000 and $172,000, respectively, for a total increase of $1,025,000 as
compared with the year ended December 31, 1999. Such increases resulted
primarily from inclusion of the operations of the Keystone Office Park for a
full year, together with the operations of Sheridan Center beginning September
1, 2000 and the operations of Panorama Falls beginning May 25, 2000, offset by
the elimination of income and expenses from the operations of the Broadway
property which was sold on December 13, 1999, and from the operations of the
self-storage facilities which were sold on August 25, 2000. Revenues for the
year ended December 31, 2000 were increased by approximately $525,000 of
straight-line rents, primarily from Panorama Falls. Management fees increased by
approximately $221,000 and general and administrative expenses decreased
approximately $140,000, both of which were due primarily to the acquisitions of
Keystone Office Park, Panorama Falls and Sheridan Center, and the management
agreement with Sheridan Realty Advisors, LLC in 2000 versus internal management
in 1999. The Company also had interest income of $55,874 for 2000, as compared
with $15,506 for the 1999 period, primarily as a result of funds being held in
escrow from the sale of the Broadway property for an IRS Section 1031 exchange
and the investment of funds from the stock and warrants offering.

     Net income for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $2,676,724, or $1.07
per share (basic and diluted), as compared to $968,748, or $.51 per share (basic
and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Comparison of year ended December 31, 1999 with year ended December 31, 1998
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The Company acquired the Keystone Buildings effective July 1, 1999 and sold
the Broadway industrial property on December 13, 1999. At December 31, 1999, the
Company owned 24 properties. Revenues increased $2,160,588, or 57%, to
$5,976,757 for 1999 as compared to $3,816,169 for 1998. The increase in revenues
was due primarily to the revenues of the Keystone Buildings being included
subsequent to their acquisition in the amount of $710,000 and the revenues for
the 15 office buildings acquired in 1998 being included for the entire year,
which resulted in an increase of approximately $1,360,000 over 1998. The net
gain on the sale of the Broadway Building and the Bank Building vacant land was
approximately $720,700.

     Property operations, real estate taxes, general and administrative,
interest, depreciation and amortization increased by $680,509, $163,927,
$199,126, $610,838 and $330,855, respectively. All of the increases primarily
resulted from inclusion of the expenses attributable to the purchase of the
Keystone Buildings, subsequent to their purchase, the inclusion of the 15 office
buildings acquired during 1998 for a full year in 1999, and additional personnel
costs as a result of handling property management and accounting on an in-house
basis during 1999. Management fees decreased by $57,538. This was due to a
savings of $93,000 by bringing the property management and accounting functions
in-house and offset by management fees paid for the Keystone Buildings of
$35,500. Interest income increased in 1999 by $11,393 to $15,506 as compared to
$4,113 for 1998.

                                       21



     As a result of the above factors, the Company had a net income of $968,748,
or $.51 per share, in 1999 as compared with a net loss of $317,406, or $.21 per
share, in 1998. Of the $968,748 net income for the year ended December 31, 1999,
$720,712, or $.38 per share, relates to a gain on the sale of real estate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     From December 31, 1999 to December 31, 2000, net investment in real estate
increased approximately $10,800,000. This increase was primarily due to the
acquisition of the Panorama Falls and Sheridan Center buildings offset by the
sale of the self-storage facilities and normal depreciation. Investment in
affiliate increased by approximately $585,000 due to the purchase of the limited
liability company membership interest in Sheridan Investments, LLC offset by
distributions received and equity in loss of affiliate. Escrow deposit decreased
by $509,556 due to the acquisition of the Panorama Falls office building.

     Accounts receivable decreased approximately $10,000 due to normal
fluctuations in the collections cycle. Deferred rents receivable increased
approximately $525,000 due primarily to the addition of the Panorama Falls
office building. Deferred financing costs decreased approximately $136,000 due
to the retirement of debt related to the sale of the self-storage facilities and
net of new costs related to the acquisitions of Panorama Falls and the Writer
Buildings, plus normal amortization. Prepaid expenses and other assets increased
by approximately $164,000 due primarily to the acquisition of a key man life
insurance policy for one of the Company's officers and directors.

     Mortgage loans payable increased by approximately $5,655,000 due to the
addition of the mortgages on Panorama Falls and the Sheridan Center buildings,
offset by the elimination of the mortgages on the self-storage facilities and
scheduled principal payments. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by
approximately $720,000 due primarily to renovation work in progress at the
Sheridan Center and Keystone buildings and the accrual of severance payments due
to a former officer. Prepaid rents and security deposits increased by
approximately $371,000 due primarily to a $335,000 security deposit from a
Panorama Falls tenant. Dividends payable increased by approximately $105,000 due
to the increased number of shares outstanding from the stock offering, the
acquisition of the limited liability company interest and the acquisition of the
key man life insurance policy. Accrued real estate taxes increased by
approximately $123,000 due to normal accruals of current taxes on a larger real
estate base. The Company's common stock and capital in excess of par value
increased by approximately $3,700,000 as a result of the public stock offering
and the issuance of stock for the acquisition of the limited liability company
interest and the key man life insurance policy. Costs related to the stock
offering were approximately $69,000 and were comprised of legal fees, filing
fees, listing fees and printing costs.

     At December 31, 2000, we had approximately $1,047,000 of cash and cash
equivalents, including approximately $372,000 of cash to be utilized for a
stockholder dividend distribution, which was paid on January 17, 2001. In March
2001, we received approximately $960,000 of cash proceeds from the exercise of
warrants issued in our 2000 public offering and employee stock options. We
intend to meet our near-term working capital liquidity requirements through the
funds provided by the warrant and option exercises and through cash flow
provided from operations and advances on loans already in place.

     The Company desires to acquire additional properties and, in order to do
so, it will need to raise additional debt or equity capital. The Company also
intends to obtain credit facilities for short and long-term borrowing with
commercial banks or other financial institutions.

New Technical Pronouncements

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). The Company is required to
adopt SFAS No. 133 as of January 1, 2001. SFAS No. 133 establishes methods of
accounting for derivative financial instruments and hedging activities related
to those instruments as well as other hedging activities. To date, the Company
has not entered into any derivative financial instruments or hedging activities.

     In March 2000, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 44,
"Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation." FIN No. 44
provides clarification and guidance on applying APB No. 25. FIN No. 44 generally
provides for prospective application for grants or modifications to existing
stock options or awards made after June 30, 2000. The Company's adoption of FIN
No. 44 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To AmeriVest Properties Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of AMERIVEST
PROPERTIES INC. (a Maryland corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31,
2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated
financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 1999, were audited by
other auditors whose report dated February 7, 2000, expressed an unqualified
opinion on those statements.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
AMERIVEST PROPERTIES INC. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     ORGANIZATION

     AmeriVest Properties Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws
     of the State of Delaware on August 25, 1993 and was reincorporated in the
     State of Maryland in 1999. Effective January 1, 1996, the Company commenced
     operating as a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment
     trust ("REIT"). The Company owns and operates, through its wholly owned
     subsidiaries, an office building in Appleton, Wisconsin, an office building
     complex in Indianapolis, Indiana, eighteen commercial office properties in
     the State of Texas, and an office building and a three-building office
     complex in Denver, Colorado.

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the consolidated
     operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All
     significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
     consolidation.

     INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE

     Real estate, property, and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and
     amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated
     useful lives as follows:

                   Description                         Estimated Useful Lives
                   -----------                         ----------------------

     Land                                                  Not Depreciated
     Buildings                                              15 to 40 years
     Equipment                                               5 to 7 years
     Tenant improvements and lease commissions              Term of lease

     Depreciation and amortization expense related to investment in real estate
     was $1,201,840 and $1,031,965 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and
     1999, respectively.

     Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and improvements are
     capitalized. The cost of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated
     depreciation and/or amortization are removed from the accounts and the
     resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations in the period in which
     such sale or retirement occurs.

     LONG-LIVED ASSETS

     Long-lived assets to be held and used by the Company are reviewed for
     impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
     carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company continually
     evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets based on estimated
     future cash flows from and the estimated liquidation value of such
     long-lived assets, and provides for impairment if such undiscounted cash
     flows are insufficient to recover the carrying amount of the long-lived
     asset. If impaired, the long-lived asset is written down to its estimated
     fair value.

                                      F-8

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Certain leases provide for tenant occupancy during periods for which no
     rent is due or where minimum rent payments increase during the term of the
     lease. The Company records rental revenue for the full term of each lease
     on a straight-line basis. Accordingly, the Company records a receivable
     from tenants that the Company expects to collect over the remaining lease
     term rather than currently, which is recorded as deferred rents receivable
     in the accompanying balance sheet. When the Company acquires a property,
     the term of existing leases is considered to commence as of the acquisition
     date for the purposes of this calculation. The amount included in rental
     revenue for the year ended December 31, 2000 that is not currently due from
     tenants is $524,581.

     INCOME TAXES

     Effective January 1, 1996, the Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under
     Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), as
     amended. As a REIT, the Company generally would not be subject to federal
     income taxation at the corporate level to the extent it distributes
     annually at least 95% of its REIT taxable income, as defined in the Code,
     to its stockholders and satisfies certain other requirements. Accordingly,
     no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying
     consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2000, the Company has
     satisfied the requirements as defined in the Code.

     Certain of the Company's subsidiaries are subject to certain state excise
     and franchise taxes. The provision for such state taxes has been reflected
     in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated
     statement of operations and has not been separately stated due to its
     insignificance.

     For federal income tax purposes, the cash dividends paid to stockholders
     may be characterized as ordinary income, return of capital (generally
     non-taxable) or capital gains. Dividends declared for the year ended
     December 31, 2000 totaled $1,277,121, of which $905,003 are characterized
     100% as return of capital. The remaining dividends of $372,118 ($.125 per
     share), which were declared in the fourth quarter and paid January 17,
     2001, will be treated as a 2001 dividend for federal income tax purposes.
     Dividends for the year ended December 31, 1999 totaling $933,029 are
     characterized 46% as return of capital and 54% ordinary income and include
     the dividend declared in the fourth quarter of 1999 of $267,462 ($.12 per
     share), which was paid January 14, 2000.

     STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

     The Company applies Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25 and
     related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plan.
     Accordingly, the Company does not recognize compensation cost for options
     granted to employees whose exercise price is equal to or exceeds the fair
     value of the underlying stock as of the grant date and which qualify for
     fixed plan treatment.

     Options and warrants issued to non-employees in which goods or services are
     the consideration received are accounted for based on the fair value of the
     equity instruments issued. The measurement date is considered to be the
     issuance date, or if there are performance vesting provisions, when earned.

                                      F-9



                   AMERIVEST PROPERTIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     FAIR VALUE

     The Company's financial instruments include accounts receivable, deferred
     rents receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, mortgage loans and
     notes payable. The fair values of these financial instruments were not
     materially different from their carrying or contract values.

     CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

     The Company leases office space to commercial businesses in Colorado,
     Indiana, Wisconsin and Texas. The Company also leases office space to State
     of Texas governmental agencies. The terms of the leases generally require
     basic rent payments at the beginning of each month. Credit risk associated
     with the lease agreements is limited to the amount of rents receivable from
     tenants less any related security deposits. Leases with the State of Texas
     governmental agencies may be canceled by the lessee should funding for the
     specific governmental agency on a complete agency basis be decreased or
     discontinued.

     Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to
     concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash
     equivalents. The Company maintains cash accounts at two financial
     institutions. The Company periodically evaluates the credit worthiness of
     these financial institutions, and maintains cash accounts only in large
     high quality financial institutions, thereby minimizing exposure for
     deposits in excess of federally insured amounts. On occasion, cash on
     deposit may exceed federally insured amounts.

     DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS

     Deferred financing costs include fees and costs incurred to obtain
     long-term financing. These costs are amortized over the terms of the
     respective loans and are included as a component of interest expense in the
     accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

     CASH EQUIVALENTS

     For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers as cash
     equivalents all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months
     or less at the time of purchase.

     USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
     principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to
     make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
     and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
     date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and
     expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
     those estimates.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

     Basic net income per common share is determined by dividing net income
     attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of
     common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per common
     share includes the effects of potentially issuable common stock, but only
     if dilutive.

     NEW TECHNICAL PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for
     Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). The
     Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 133 as of January 1, 2001. SFAS No.
     133 establishes methods of accounting for derivative financial instruments
     and hedging activities related to those instruments as well as other
     hedging activities. To date, the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 133 has not
     had a material impact on its financial statements, as it has not entered
     into any derivative financial instruments or hedging activities.

     In March 2000, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 44,
     "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation." FIN No.
     44 provides clarification and guidance on applying APB No. 25. FIN No. 44
     generally provides for prospective application for grants or modifications
     to existing stock options or awards made after June 30, 2000. The Company's
     adoption of FIN No. 44 did not have a material impact on its financial
     statements.

     RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to current
     period presentation.

NOTE 2 - STOCK OFFERING

     On March 29, 2000, The company's Registration Statement became effective
     with the Securities and Exchange Commission for an offering of units
     consisting of common stock and warrants. As modified in June 2000, the
     offering was for a maximum of 300,000 units offered at a price of $10.00
     per unit. Each unit consisted of two shares of common stock and one
     redeemable common stock purchase warrant. The warrants are exercisable at
     $5.00 per share, expiring on July 10, 2005. The offering period was
     extended to August 31, 2000, whereupon it terminated after raising the
     maximum amount of $3,000,000. The amount of net proceeds which was
     allocated to the warrants was approximately $148,000. Proceeds from the
     sale of these units, after payment of expenses of $68,859, have been used
     to acquire and improve real estate properties, to repay debt and to
     increase working capital.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

     In 1999, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, acquired a
     three-building office complex in Indianapolis, Indiana (the "Keystone
     Buildings"). These buildings are part of an office park and are
     multi-tenanted with small- to medium-sized tenants. The purchase price was
     $7,944,000. In conjunction with the purchase, the Company assumed
     approximately $5,255,000 of existing debt and issued 541,593 shares of its
     common stock valued at $2,572,568 ($4.75 per share).

     In August and September 1999, the Company sold two vacant lots adjacent to
     its bank buildings in Texas for aggregate cash proceeds of approximately
     $60,000.

     In December 1999, the Company sold its industrial office and showroom
     building in Denver, Colorado (the "Broadway Property") for $2,100,000
     resulting in a gain of approximately $737,000. The net proceeds of
     approximately $510,000 were used to complete a tax-deferred exchange under
     Section 1031 of the Code ("1031 Exchange") in May 2000.

     On February 24, 2000, the Company entered into an Agreement of Sale to
     purchase for $5,900,000 a three-story office building (the "Panorama Falls
     Building") containing approximately 62,000 square feet on approximately six
     acres of land in southeast Denver, Colorado. The transaction closed on May
     25, 2000. Funds for closing included approximately $514,000 being held in
     escrow and on deposit as part of the 1031 Exchange from the sale of the
     Broadway Property, together with mortgage financing and short-term
     financing, which was partially repaid in August 2000 with proceeds from the
     stock and warrant offering (Note 2).

     On June 6, 2000, the Company entered into a contract to sell its four
     self-storage facilities in the metropolitan Denver, Colorado area for
     $8,400,000. This sale closed on August 25, 2000, resulting in a gain on
     sale of approximately $2,557,000. The net proceeds of approximately
     $1,818,000 were used to complete a 1031 Exchange for office building
     assets.

     On June 2, 2000, the Company entered into a contract to purchase three
     office buildings ("Sheridan Center") in southeast Denver, Colorado for
     $9,600,000. The buildings contain approximately 143,000 square feet and are
     located on approximately 3.74 acres of land. The transaction closed on
     August 31, 2000. Funds for closing included approximately $1,818,000 held
     in escrow and on deposit as part of the 1031 Exchange from the sale of the
     self-storage facilities, together with mortgage financing and a portion of
     the proceeds from the stock offering.

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATE, NET

     In September 2000, the Company entered into a contract to purchase a 9.639%
     preferred limited liability company membership interest in Sheridan
     Investments, LLC, a related party. Sheridan Investments, LLC is the sole
     owner of Sheridan Plaza at Inverness, LLC, which owns two office buildings
     in Englewood, Colorado, containing approximately 119,000 square feet and
     located on approximately 6.7 acres of land. The transaction closed on
     September 29, 2000. The aggregate purchase price for the limited liability
     company interest was $658,918, which the Company paid by issuing 65,892
     units, with each unit consisting of two shares of common stock and one
     redeemable common stock purchase warrant. In connection with this
     investment, the Company had a difference related to the excess of its cost
     over its proportionate interest in the net tangible assets of the
     unconsolidated affiliate. The difference of approximately $261,000 is being
     amortized over the estimated useful life of the underlying assets (40
     years). The acquired interest is being accounted for under the equity
     method of accounting and is included in investment in unconsolidated
     affiliate in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 7 - STOCK OPTION PLAN

     In March 1998, the Board of Directors approved the 1998 Stock Option Plan
     (the "1998 Option Plan"). Pursuant to the Option Plan, the Company may
     grant options to purchase an aggregate of 200,000 shares of the Company's
     common stock to key employees, directors, and other persons who have or are
     contributing to the success of the Company. The options granted pursuant to
     the Option Plan may be either incentive options qualifying for beneficial
     tax treatment for the recipient or non-qualified options. Directors who are
     not also employees of the Company ("Outside Directors") automatically
     receive options to purchase 12,000 shares pursuant to the Option Plan at
     the time of their election as an Outside Director. None of these options
     are exercisable at the time of grant. Options to purchase 4,000 shares
     become exercisable for each Outside Director on December 31 of each of the
     first three years immediately following the date of grant of the options to
     that Outside Director. The exercise price for options granted to Outside
     Directors is the fair market value of the common stock on the date of
     grant, and all options granted to Outside Directors expire five years from
     the date of grant. On the date that all of an Outside Director's options
     have expired, options to purchase an additional 12,000 shares, none of
     which is exercisable at that time, shall be granted to that Outside
     Director. The 1998 option plan was adopted as the Company had issued
     substantially all options available pursuant to the 1995 Stock Option Plan.

     The status of outstanding options granted pursuant to the Company's Stock
     Option Plans was as follows:

     In October 1999 the expiration date on the outstanding Directors options
     granted in 1995, and the options granted to the Company's former President
     in May 1995 and December 1996 were extended to December 31, 2004. The

     assumptions used for grants: dividend yield of 10.41% to 11.3%; expected
     volatility of 21.5% to 43.48%; discount rate of 4.55% to 6.36%; and
     expected lives of 5 years.

     Some leases also provide for additional rent based on increases in
     operating expenses. These increases are generally payable annually in the
     succeeding year.

     One tenant, a financial institution, accounted for approximately 11% and
     14% of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999,
     respectively.

     From time to time, the Company and/or its subsidiaries may become involved
     in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the
     normal course of business. The Company is not currently a party to any
     material litigation, nor is it aware of any material threatened legal
     proceedings.

NOTE 9 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     As required pursuant to the Company's acquisition of the Keystone Buildings
     from Sheridan Realty Partners L.P. ("SRP"), certain principals of SRP were
     appointed to the Company's Board of Directors and received shares of the
     Company's common stock issued in conjunction with the acquisition. Sheridan
     Development, LLC, an affiliate of SRP by virtue of interlocking ownership
     and management, managed the Keystone Buildings through December 1999 under
     a management agreement. The Company was charged a fee of 5% of gross
     revenues, which amounted to approximately $35,500 during 1999.

     Effective January 1, 2000 all of the Company's properties are managed under
     an agreement (the "Agreement") with Sheridan Realty Advisors, LLC ("SRA"),
     which also manages day-to-day operations of the Company and assists and
     advises the Board of Directors on real estate acquisitions and investment
     opportunities. Certain senior members of SRA are members of the Company's
     management team and of the Company's Board of Directors. SRA receives an
     administrative fee and a property management and accounting fee for these
     services. The Agreement provides that the costs paid for these services in
     fiscal year 2000 will be no greater than the costs incurred by the Company
     for the same services in fiscal year 1999. For the year ended December 31,
     2000, the administrative fee totaled $189,600 and the property management
     and accounting fee, calculated as 5% of gross collected rents, amounted to
     $234,862. SRA also earns an advisory fee, calculated as 5% of capital
     deployed for real property acquisitions, which totaled $141,180 in 2000. In
     addition, SRA received incentive compensation in the form of five-year
     warrants to purchase up to 750,000 shares of common stock at $5 per share.
     Issuance of the warrants was approved by the shareholders at the annual
     meeting on June 6, 2000. According to the Agreement, 225,000 of these
     warrants were granted and vested on the approval date. These vested
     warrants have an estimated fair value of $73,668, which is being amortized
     over the life of the Agreement. The remaining 525,000 warrants vest in an
     amount equal to 2.1% of capital deployed for real property acquisitions.
     During 2000, 48,795 of the remaining warrants vested and have an estimated
     fair value of $19,947, which has been capitalized with the related
     acquisition costs on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 11 - SEGMENT REPORTING

     In June 1997, SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and
     Related Information" was issued, which amends the requirements for a public
     enterprise to report financial and descriptive information about its
     reportable operating segments. Operating segments, as defined in the
     pronouncement, are components of an enterprise about which separate
     financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the
     Company in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
     The financial information is required to be reported on the basis that is
     used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to
     allocate resources to segments.

     The Company has reportable segments organized by the region in which they
     operate as follows: Wisconsin, Indiana, Texas and Colorado.

     The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in
     the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates
     performance based upon income from real estate from the combined properties
     in each segment.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND

     On April 5, 2000, we dismissed Wheeler Wasoff, P.C. as our principal
accountant. On April 5, 2000, we engaged Arthur Andersen LLP as the principal
accountant to audit our financial statements. Our Board Of Directors has
recommended and approved these actions.

     The accountant's reports of Wheeler Wasoff, P.C. on our consolidated
financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 1999 did not
contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. There have
been no disagreements between management and Wheeler Wasoff, P.C. during our two
most recent fiscal years or during any subsequent period preceding Arthur
Andersen's engagement on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure of a nature which
if not resolved to the satisfaction of Wheeler Wasoff, P.C. would have caused it
to make reference in connection with its report to the subject matter of the
disagreements.
