                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

1.   ORGANIZATION

     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. ("FR"), and the 99% limited
partner of which is First Industrial, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), of
which FR 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 1997 Form 10-K and should be read in
conjunction with such financial statements and related notes.  The following
notes to these interim financial statements highlight significant changes to the
notes included in the December 31, 1997 audited financial statements included in
the Company's 1997 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses.  Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

     In the opinion of management, all adjustments consist of normal recurring
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as
of June 30, 1998 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
six months and three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income".  This
statement, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997,
requires the Company to report components of comprehensive income in a financial
statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial
statements.  Comprehensive income is defined by Concepts Statement No. 6,
"Elements of Financial Statements" as the change in the equity of a business
enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances
from non-owner sources.  It includes all changes in equity during a period
except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.
The Company's net income approximates its comprehensive income as defined in
Concepts Statement No. 6, "Elements of Financial Statements".

Reclassification:

     Certain 1997 items have been reclassified to conform to the 1998
presentation.


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 $200 and $179 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
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.

     On March 24, 1998, the Company distributed $980 to Securities Corporation
in respect of its preferred limited partnership interest in the Company, and

                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 the 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

     At June 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company owned 19 properties with
approximately 2.2 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA").

COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

     Total revenues increased by approximately $.7 million, or 12.3%, due
primarily to an increase in rental income due to an increase in occupancy and
additional rental income from the expansion of one of the Company's properties
that was completed and placed in service on February 1, 1998.  Average occupancy
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was 98.3% and 93.8%,
respectively.

     Property expenses, which include real estate taxes, repairs and
maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other expenses,
decreased by approximately $.1 million, or 6.9%.  This decrease is due primarily
to a decrease in snow removal and related expenses incurred for properties
located in certain of the Company's metropolitan areas during the six months
ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997.

     Depreciation and amortization remained relatively unchanged.

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1997

     Total revenues increased by approximately $.5 million, or 19.9%, due
primarily to an increase in rental income due to an increase in occupancy and
additional rental income from the expansion of one of the Company's properties
that was completed and placed in service on February 1, 1998.  Average occupancy
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was 97.9% and 92.8%,
respectively.

     Property expenses, which include real estate taxes, repairs and
maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other expenses,
remained relatively unchanged.

     Depreciation and amortization remained relatively unchanged.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $4.2 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to approximately $3.9 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  The increase is primarily attributable
to an increase in rental income due to an increase in occupancy and additional
rental income from the expansion of one of the Company's properties that was
completed and placed in service on February 1, 1998.

     Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to approximately $.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997.  The majority of the cash used in investing
activities for the six months ended June 30, 1998 relates to an expansion of one


                                       8
<PAGE>   10


of the Company's properties located in Auburn Hills, Michigan.  This expansion
was placed in service on February 1, 1998.

     Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30,
1998 consisted of preferred limited partner distributions of approximately $2.0
million and a general and limited partner distribution of approximately $.5
million.  Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June
30, 1997 consisted of preferred limited partner distributions of approximately
$2.0 million and a general and limited partner distribution of approximately
$1.3 million.

     The Company has considered its short-term (one year or less) liquidity
needs and the adequacy of its estimated cash flow from operations and other
expected liquidity sources to meet these needs.  The Company believes that its
principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring expenses and
to pay the quarterly preferred limited partnership distribution.  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 and property expansions with
its cash flow from operations, capital contributions and, in part, with a
deferred maintenance escrow established in connection with the issuance of First
Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.'s 9.5% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock which
is included in restricted cash on the balance sheet.

OTHER

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income".  This
statement, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997,
requires the Company to report components of comprehensive income in a financial
statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial

"Elements of Financial Statements" as the change in the equity of a business
enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances
from non-owner sources.  It includes all changes in equity during a period
except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.
The Company's net income approximates its comprehensive income as defined in
Concepts Statement No. 6, "Elements of Financial Statements".
