1.   ORGANIZATION AND FORMATION OF THE COMPANY

     First Industrial Securities, L.P. (the "Company") is a Delaware limited
partnership formed on August 14, 1995, the 1% general partner of which is First
Industrial Securities Corporation ("Securities Corporation"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. ("FI"), and the 99% limited
partner of which is First Industrial, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), of
which FI is the sole general partner.  Securities Corporation also owns a
preferred limited partnership interest in the Company.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the accounting policies described in the financial statements
and related notes included in the Company's 1996 Form 10-K.  These interim
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 1996
audited final statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 1996 Form
10-K.  The following notes to these interim financial statements highlight
significant changes to the notes included in the December 31, 1996 audited
financial statements included in the Company's 1996 Form 10-K and present
interim disclosures as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission.


     In order to conform with generally accepted accounting principles,
management, in preparation of the Company's financial statements, is required
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities as of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
1996.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

     In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of
the Company as of March 31, 1997 and the results of operations and cash flows
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 have been included.

     The Company evaluates and, if applicable, provides for an allowance for
doubtful accounts against the portion of accounts receivable which is estimated
to be uncollectible.  Tenant accounts receivable in the balance sheets are
shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $50 as of March 31, 1997 and
December 31, 1996.

3.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The 19 properties owned by the Company are managed by the Operating
Partnership.  Management fees incurred are based on 3.25% of gross receipts.
Such fees totaled $86 and $87 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively.  At March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, $0 and $42 of
accrued management fees were due to the Operating Partnership, respectively.

4.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in legal actions
arising from the ownership of its properties.  In management's opinion, the
liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not
expected to have a materially adverse effect on the financial position,
operations or liquidity of the Company.

                ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     The following discussion and analysis of First Industrial Securities,
L.P.'s (the "Company")  financial condition and results of operations should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing
elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH
31, 1996

     At March 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company owned 19 properties with
approximately 2.1 million square feet.

     Total revenues increased by $.1 million, or 5%, due primarily to an
increase in rental rates and an increase in tenant recovery income.

     Property expenses, which include real estate taxes, repairs and
maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other expenses,
increased by $.2 million, or 33%.  This increase is  due primarily to
additional snow removal expenses incurred in the Minneapolis and Harrisburg
metropolitan areas, and an increase in repair and maintenance expense and real
estate taxes in the majority of the Company's geographical markets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1996.  The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in rents received
in advance and security deposits.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $.01 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 compared to $.6 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1996.  The majority of the cash used in investing activities was for
capital improvements of the Company's properties.

     Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31,
1997 consisted of a preferred limited partner distribution of $1.0 million and
a general and limited partner distribution of $1.3 million.  Net cash used in
financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 1996 consisted of a
preferred limited partner distribution of $1.0 million and a general and
limited partner distribution of $.7 million.

     The Company has considered its short-term (less than one year) liquidity
requirements and the adequacy of its estimated cash flows from operations.  The
Company believes that its liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring
expenses, and pay the preferred limited partnership distribution and other
partnership distributions.  The Company anticipates that these needs will be
met with cash flows provided by operating activities.

     The Company expects to fund its long-term (greater than one year)
liquidity requirements for non-recurring capital improvements with its cash
flows from operations and in part with a deferred maintenance escrow
established in connection with the issuance of First Industrial Realty Trust,
Inc.'s Series A Preferred Stock.
