                        FIRST INDUSTRIAL SECURITIES, L.P.
                          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 unaudited 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 1999 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, 1999 audited financial
statements included in the Company's 1999 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 as of June 30,
2000 and December 31,1999, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for
each of the six months and three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

         In the opinion of management, all adjustments consist of normal
recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position
of the Company as of June 30, 2000 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the six months and three months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999.

3.       RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         The 21 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 approximately $188 and $170 for the six months ended June 30, 2000
and 1999, 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.

         The Company has committed to the redevelopment of one of its properties
located in Maple Grove, Minnesota and the development of one of its properties
located in Carol Stream, Illinois. The Company expects to fund these costs with
cash flows from operations and capital contributions.

5.       PARTNERS' CAPITAL

         During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company paid pro rata
general and limited partner distributions to Securities Corporation and the
Operating Partnership, respectively, in the aggregate amount of approximately
$1,800.

         During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company distributed
approximately $1,960 to Securities Corporation in respect of its preferred
limited partnership interest in the Company, and Securities Corporation paid a
preferred stock dividend of approximately $1,960 to FR, the amount equal to the
aggregate dividend payable on FR's 9.5%, $.01 par value, Series A Cumulative
Preferred Stock.

L.P.'s (the "Company") financial condition and the results of operations should

elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

         This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act 1933, as amended, and Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company intends such
forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for
forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Reform Act of
1995, and is including this statement for purposes of complying with these safe
harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain
assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the
Company, are generally identifiable by use of the words "believe", "expect",
"intend", "anticipate", "estimate", "project" or similar expressions. The
Company's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or
strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse
affect on the operations and future prospects of the Company include, but are
not limited to, changes in: economic conditions generally and the real estate
market specifically, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital,
interest rates, competition, supply and demand for industrial properties in the
Company's current market areas and general accounting principles, policies and
guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating
forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such
statements. Further information concerning the Company and its business,
including additional factors that could materially affect the Company's
financial results, is included herein and in the Company's other filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         At June 30, 2000, the Company owned 21 properties with approximately
2.0 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA") compared to 19 properties
comprising approximately 2.2 million square feet of GLA at June 30, 1999. During
the period July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2000, the Company sold two properties
comprising approximately .4 million square feet of GLA. During the same period,
the limited partner of the Company contributed four properties comprising
approximately .2 million square feet of GLA.

COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

         Total revenues increased by approximately $.4 million, or 7.5%, due
primarily to an increase in occupancy. Average occupancy for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was 97.0% and 94.9%, respectively.

         Property expenses, which include real estate taxes, repairs and
maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other expenses
decreased by approximately $.2 million or 9.3%, due primarily to a decrease in
real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance and utilities expense, offset by an
increase in property management expense. The decreases in real estate tax
expense and utilities expense is attributable to a property that is under
redevelopment. The decrease in repairs and maintenance is attributed to roof
repairs and other repairs incurred during the six months ended June 30, 1999.
The increase in property management expense is due to an increase in total
revenues as discussed above.

         Depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $.2 million or
19.6%, due primarily to tenant improvements incurred subsequent to December 31,
1998.

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

real estate taxes and repairs and maintenance, offset by an increase in property
management expense. The decrease in real estate tax expense is attributable to a
property that is under redevelopment. The decrease in repairs and maintenance is
attributed to roof repairs incurred during the three months ended June 30, 1999.
The increase in property management expense is due to an increase in total

DISTRIBUTIONS/DIVIDENDS

         During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company paid pro rata
general and limited partner distributions to Securities Corporation and the
Operating Partnership, respectively, in the aggregate amount of approximately
$1.8 million.

         During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company distributed
approximately $2.0 million to Securities Corporation in respect of its preferred
limited partnership interest in the Company, and Securities Corporation paid
preferred stock dividends of approximately $2.0 million to FR, the amount equal
to the aggregate dividend payable on FR's 9.5%, $.01 par value, Series A
Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock").

SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM LIQUIDITY NEEDS

         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, property
redevelopments and property developments with its cash flow from operations,
capital contributions and, in part, with a deferred maintenance escrow
established in connection with the issuance of FR's Series A Preferred Stock
which is included in restricted cash on the balance sheet.
