FIRST INDUSTRIAL, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR PER UNIT DATA)
(UNAUDITED)
1. ORGANIZATION AND FORMATION OF COMPANY
First Industrial, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") was organized as a
limited partnership in the state of Delaware on November 23, 1993. The sole
general partner of the Operating Partnership is First Industrial Realty Trust,
Inc. (the "Company") with an approximate 84.9% ownership interest at June 30,
1998. The Company also owns preferred units with an aggregate liquidation
priority of $350 million. The Company is a real estate investment trust (REIT)
as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. The Company's operations are
conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership. The limited partners of
the Operating Partnership own approximately a 15.1% aggregate ownership
interest at June 30, 1998.
The Operating Partnership is the sole member of 21 limited liability
corporations (the "L.L.C.'s"), owns a 95% economic interest in FR Development
Services, Inc. as well as a 99% limited partnership interest (subject in one
case as described below to a preferred limited partnership interest) in each of
First Industrial Financing Partnership, L.P. (the "Financing Partnership"),
First Industrial Securities, L.P. (the "Securities Partnership"), First
Industrial Mortgage Partnership, L.P. (the "Mortgage Partnership"), First
Industrial Pennsylvania Partnership, L.P. (the "Pennsylvania Partnership"),
First Industrial Harrisburg, L.P. (the "Harrisburg Partnership"), First
Industrial Indianapolis, L.P. (the "Indianapolis Partnership") and First
Industrial Development Services Group, L.P. ("FIDS, L.P.") (together, the "Other
Real Estate Partnerships"). The financial statements of the Operating
Partnership report the L.L.C.'s and FR Development Services, Inc. on a
consolidated basis (hereinafter defined as the "Consolidated Operating
Partnership")and the Other Real Estate Partnerships are accounted for under the
equity method of accounting. The minority ownership interest in FR Development
Services, Inc. is not reflected in the consolidated financial statements due to
its immateriality. As of June 30, 1998, the Consolidated Operating Partnership
owned 857 in-service properties containing an aggregate of approximately 56.2
million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"). On a combined basis, as of
June 30, 1998, the Other Real Estate Partnerships owned 96 in-service properties
containing an aggregate of approximately 11.5 million square feet of GLA. Of
the 96 properties owned by the Other Real Estate Partnerships at June 30, 1998,
23 are owned by the Financing Partnership, 19 are owned by the Securities
Partnership, 23 are owned by the Mortgage Partnership, 21 are owned by the
Pennsylvania Partnership, five are owned by the Harrisburg Partnership, four are
owned by the Indianapolis Partnership and one is held by FIDS, L.P.
The general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships are separate
corporations, each with a one percent general partnership interest in the Other
Real Estate Partnership for which it acts as a general partner. Each general
partner of the Other Real Estate Partnerships is a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company. The general partner of the Securities Partnership, First
Industrial Securities Corporation, also owns a preferred limited partnership
interest in the Securities Partnership which entitles it to receive a fixed
quarterly distribution, and results in it being allocated income in the same
amount, equal to the fixed quarterly dividend the Company pays on its 9.5%
Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock.
Profits, losses and distributions of the Operating Partnership are
allocated to the general partner and the limited partners in accordance with
the provisions contained within its restated and amended partnership agreement.
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 Operating Partnership'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 Operating Partnership's 1997 Form 10-K and
present interim disclosures as required by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

(UNAUDITED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
In order to conform with generally accepted accounting principles,
management, in preparation of the Operating Partnership'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 Operating
Partnership as of June 30, 1998 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the six months and three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.
Tenant Accounts Receivable, net:
The Operating Partnership provides an allowance for doubtful accounts
against the portion of tenant accounts receivable which is estimated to be
uncollectible. Tenant accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets
are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,297 and $1,000 as of
June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectfully.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income". This statement, effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1997, requires the Operating Partnership 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 Operating Partnership's net income available to
its unitholders approximates its comprehensive income as defined in Concepts
Statement No. 6, "Elements of Financial Statements".
In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information".
This statement, effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1997, requires that a public business enterprise report
financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments.
Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the basis that
it is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to
allocate resources to segments. The Operating Partnership has not yet
determined the impact of this statement on its financial statements.
In March 1998, the FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force (the "Task Force")
issued Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 97-11, "Accounting for Internal
Costs Relating to Real Estate Property Acquisitions" ("EITF 97-11"). EITF
97-11, effective March 19, 1998, requires that internal costs of preacquisition
activities incurred in connection with the acquisition of an operating property
should be expensed as incurred. The Task Force concluded that a property is
considered operating if, at the date of acquisition, major construction
activity is substantially completed on the property and (a) it is held
available for occupancy upon completion of tenant improvements by the acquirer
or (b) it is already income producing. The Operating Partnership adopted EITF
97-11 as of March 19, 1998. Prior to March 19, 1998, the Operating
Partnership capitalized internal costs of preacquisition activities
incurred connection with the acquisition of operating properties. The
Operating Partnership estimates that the adoption of

(UNAUDITED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
EITF 97-11 will result in a cumulative increase of approximately $2,500 to
$3,000 in the amount of general and administrative expense reflected in the
Operating Partnership's consolidated statement of operations in 1998.
In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position
98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities" ("SOP 98-5"). SOP 98-5
requires that the net unamortized balance of all start-up costs and
organizational costs be written off as a cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle and all future start-up costs and organizational costs be
expensed. In the second quarter of 1998, the Operating Partnership reported a
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the amount of
approximately $719 to reflect the write-off of the unamortized balance of
organizational costs on the Operating Partnership's balance sheet.
During the second quarter of 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities". This statement, effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 1999, establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring
that every derivative instrument, including certain derivative instruments
imbedded in other contracts, be recorded in the balance sheet as either an
asset or liability measured at its fair value. The statement also requires
that the changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized in earnings
unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The Operating Partnership
is currently assessing the impact of this new statement on its consolidated
financial position, liquidity, and results of operations.
3. INVESTMENT IN OTHER REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIPS
The Investment in Other Real Estate Partnerships reflects the Operating
Partnership's 99% limited partnership equity interest in the entities
described in Note 1 to these financial statements.

statements of the Other Real Estate Partnerships is presented below:

On January 2, 1998, the Financing Partnership distributed 173 properties

4. MORTGAGE LOANS, SENIOR UNSECURED DEBT AND ACQUISITION FACILITY PAYABLE
On March 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership issued $100 million of Dealer
remarketable securities which mature on April 5, 2011 and bear a coupon
interest rate of 6.50% (the "2011 Drs."). The issue price of the 2011 Drs. was
99.753%. Interest is paid semi-annually in arrears on April 5 and October 5.
The 2011 Drs. are callable (the "Call Option"), at the option of J.P. Morgan
Securities, Inc., as Remarketing Dealer (the "Remarketing Dealer"), on April 5,
2001 (the "Remarketing Date"). The Operating Partnership received
approximately $2,760 of proceeds from the Remarketing Dealer as consideration
for the Call Option. The Operating Partnership will amortize the proceeds over
the life of the Call Option as an adjustment to interest expense. If the
holder of the Call Option calls the 2011 Drs. and elects to remarket the 2011
Drs., then after the Remarketing Date, the interest rate on the 2011 Drs. will
be reset at a fixed rate until April 5, 2011 based upon a predetermined formula
as disclosed in the related Prospectus Supplement. If the Remarketing Dealer
elects not to remarket the 2011 Drs., then the Operating Partnership will be
required to repurchase, on the Remarketing Date, any 2011 Drs. that have not
been purchased by the Remarketing Dealer at 100% of the principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The Operating Partnership
also settled an interest rate protection agreement which was used to fix the
interest rate on the 2011 Drs. prior to issuance. The debt issue discount and
the settlement amount of the interest rate protection agreement are being
amortized over the life of the 2011 Drs. as an adjustment to interest expense.
The 2011 Drs. contain certain covenants including limitations on incurrence of
debt and debt service coverage.

On May 14, 1998, the Company granted 899,000 non-qualified employee stock
options. These stock options vest over one year and have a strike price of
$31.13 per share. The stock options expire between seven and ten years from

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Operating Partnership 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
consolidated financial position, operations or liquidity of the Operating
Partnership.
The Operating Partnership has committed to the construction of five
development projects totaling approximately .6 million square feet of GLA. The
estimated total construction costs are approximately $22,817. These
developments are expected to be funded with cash flow from operations as well as
borrowings under the Operating Partnership's $300,000 unsecured revolving credit
facility (the "1997 Unsecured Acquisition Facility").
In the second quarter of 1998, the Operating Partnership entered into a
non-binding letter of intent with an institutional investor to create a joint
venture that would invest in industrial properties. The venture is subject,
among other contingencies, to due diligence and the negotiation of definitive
documentation. There can be no assurance that such venture will be created, or
if created, will be successful.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
From July 1, 1998 to August 5, 1998, the Company acquired five industrial
properties. The aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions totaled
approximately $22,362, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the
acquisition of the properties.
On July 20, 1998, the Operating Partnership paid a second quarter 1998
distribution of $.53 per Unit, totaling approximately $23,553.
On July 14, 1998, the Operating Partnership issued $200,000 of senior
unsecured debt which matures on July 15, 2028 and bears a coupon interest rate
of 7.60% (the "2028 Notes"). The issue price of the 2028 Notes was 99.882%.
Interest is paid semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15. The
Operating Partnership also settled interest rate protection agreements, in the
notional amount of $150,000, which were used to fix the interest rate on the
2028 Notes prior to issuance. The debt issue discount and the settlement
amount of the interest rate protection agreements are being amortized over the
life of the 2028 Notes as an adjustment to the interest expense. The 2028
Notes contain certain covenants including limitation on incurrence of debt and
debt service coverage.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of First Industrial, L.P.'s (the
"Operating Partnership") 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
At June 30, 1998, the Operating Partnership and its consolidated
partnerships and limited liability corporations owned 857 in-service properties
with approximately 56.2 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"),
compared to 208 in-service properties with approximately 18.1 million square
feet of GLA at June 30, 1997. The addition of 479 properties between July 1,
1997 and June 30, 1998 included the acquisitions of 472 properties totaling
approximately 23.7 million square feet of GLA, the completed development of
seven properties totaling approximately 1.2 million square feet of GLA and the
distribution of 173 properties from First Industrial Financing Partnership,
L.P. (the "Financing Partnership") totaling approximately 13.4 million square
feet of GLA. The Operating Partnership also sold three in-service properties
totaling approximately .2 million square feet of GLA, one property held for
redevelopment and several land parcels.
COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1997
Rental income and tenant recoveries and other income increased by $96.1
million or 238.5% due primarily to the properties acquired or developed after
June 30, 1997 and the distribution of 173 properties from the Financing
Partnership to the Operating Partnership on January 2, 1998. Revenues from
properties owned prior to January 1, 1997, decreased by approximately $.3
million or .5% due primarily to a decrease in tenant recovery income charges
related to the decrease in operating expenses as discussed below.
Property expenses, which include real estate taxes, repairs and
maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other expenses,
increased by $28.4 million or 232.9% due primarily to the properties acquired
or developed after June 30, 1997 and the distribution of 173 properties from
the Financing Partnership to the Operating Partnership on January 2, 1998.
Expenses from properties owned prior to January 1, 1997, decreased by
approximately $.8 million or 4.5% due primarily to a decrease in snow removal
and related expenses incurred for properties located in certain of the
Operating Partnership's metropolitan areas during the six months ended June 30,
1998 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997.
General and administrative expense increased by approximately $3.3
million, of which, approximately $2.2 million is due primarily to the
additional expenses associated with managing the Operating Partnership's
growing operations including additional professional fees relating to
additional properties owned and additional personnel to manage and expand the
Operating Partnership's business. Approximately $1.1 million of the increase
is the result of the adoption of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 97-11,
"Accounting for Internal Costs Relating to Real Estate Property Acquisitions"
("EITF 97-11"), which requires that internal costs of preacquisition activities
incurred in connection with the acquisition of an operating property should be
expensed as incurred. The Operating Partnership adopted EITF 97-11 on March
19, 1998.
Interest expense increased by approximately $21.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997 due
primarily to a higher average debt balance outstanding resulting from the
issuance of unsecured debt to fund the acquisition and development of
additional properties.
17
<PAGE> 19
Depreciation and other amortization increased by $19.3 million due
primarily to the additional depreciation and amortization related to the
properties acquired after June 30, 1997 and the distribution of 173 properties
from the Financing Partnership to the Operating Partnership on January 2, 1998.
The $.7 million cumulative effect of change in accounting principle is the
result of the write-off of the unamortized balance of organizational costs on
the Operating Partnership's balance sheet due to the early adoption of
Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities",
("SOP 98-5"), as further discussed later in this Management's Discussion and
Analysis.
Equity in Income of Other Real Estate Partnerships increased by $6.0
million or 74.9% due primarily to four of the Other Real Estate Partnerships
having a greater amount of in-service properties for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997.
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1997
Revenues increased by $51.9 million or 242.7% due primarily to the
properties acquired or developed after June 30, 1997 and the distribution of
173 properties from the Financing Partnership to the Operating Partnership on
January 2, 1998. Revenues from properties owned prior to April 1, 1997,
increased by approximately $1.8 million or 5.1% due to general rent increases
and an increase in tenant recovery income charges due to an increase in
property operating expenses as discussed below.
Property expenses, which include real estate taxes, repairs and
maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other expenses,
increased by $15.2 million or 249.6% due primarily to the properties acquired
or developed after June 30, 1997 and the distribution of 173 properties from
the Financing Partnership to the Operating Partnership on January 2, 1998.
Expenses from properties owned prior to April 1, 1997, increased by
approximately $ .6 million or 5.7% due to an increase in real estate tax
expense, utilities and other expense in the majority of the Operating
Partnership's metropolitan areas during the three months ended June 30, 1998 as
compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997.
General and administrative expense increased by approximately $2.0
million, of which approximately $1.2 million is due primarily to the additional
expenses associated with managing the Operating Partnership's growing
operations, including additional professional fees relating to additional
properties owned and additional personnel to manage and expand the Operating
Partnership's business. Approximately $.8 million of the increase is the
result of the adoption of EITF 97-11.
Interest expense increased by approximately $9.8 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997 due
primarily to a higher average debt balance outstanding resulting from the
issuance of unsecured debt to fund the acquisition and development of
additional properties.
Depreciation and other amortization increased by $10.7 million due
primarily to the additional depreciation and amortization related to the
properties acquired after June 30, 1997 and the distribution of 173 properties
from the Financing Partnership to the Operating Partnership on January 2, 1998.
The $.7 million cumulative effect of change in accounting principle is the
result of the write-off of the unamortized balance of organizational costs on
the Operating Partnership's balance sheet due to the early adoption of SOP
98-5, as further discussed later in this Management's Discussion and Analysis.
Equity in Income of Other Real Estate Partnerships increased by $3.1
million or 140.9% due primarily to four of the Other Real Estate Partnerships
having a greater amount of in-service properties for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On June 30, 1998, the Operating Partnership's unrestricted cash and cash
equivalents totaled approximately $.7 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $46.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $7.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. This increase is due primarily to an increase in net operating
income (which is defined as total revenues less property related expenses)
due to the operations of properties acquired or developed between July 1,
1997 and June 30, 1998 and the distribution of 173 properties from the
Financing Partnership to the Operating Partnership on January 2, 1998 partially
offset by an increase in interest expense and general and administrative
expense as discussed in "Results of Operations" above.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased from $507.5 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 to $419.9 million for the six months ended June
30, 1998. This decrease is due to an increase in the acquisition of properties
offset by a decrease in the amount of contributions made to the Other Real
Estate Partnerships to fund acquisitions and developments.
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased from $502.9 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $369.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 due primarily to a decrease in the amount of senior unsecured debt
issued partially offset by an increase in preferred and general contributions
from the general partner.
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends was
1.74 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to 2.55 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. The decrease is primarily due to additional interest
expense and preferred general partner unit distributions incurred during the six
months ended June 30, 1998 from additional debt issued and preferred general
partner contributions to fund property acquisitions and developments, which is
partially offset by higher net operating income from property acquisitions and
the distribution of 173 properties from the Financing Partnership to the
Operating Partnership on January 2, 1998 as discussed in "Results of Operations"
above.
Between January 1, 1998 and June 30, 1998, the Operating Partnership
purchased 162 industrial properties and several land parcels, for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $373.5 million, excluding costs incurred in
conjunction with the acquisition price.
Of the 162 existing industrial properties and several land parcels
purchased by the Operating Partnership during the six months ended June 30,
1998, four existing industrial properties were purchased from Western Suburban
Industrial Investments Limited Partnership ("Western") in which the sole general
partner, having a 5% interest, was Tomasz/Shidler Investment Corporation, of
which the sole shareholders were a Director and Director/Officer of the general
partner of the Operating Partnership who also had a 53% and 32% limited
partnership interest in Western, respectively. Further, an additional
Director/Officer of the general partner of the Operating Partnership was a
limited partner in Western having an interest of 2%. The aggregate purchase
price for this acquisition totaled approximately $7.9 million, excluding costs
incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the properties.
During the second quarter of 1998, the Operating Partnership completed an
acquisition of a real estate firm for which an officer and an employee of the
Operating Partnership owned a 77.5% interest. Gross proceeds to the real estate
firm totaled approximately $2.3 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Operating Partnership sold
two existing industrial properties and one land parcel. Gross proceeds from
these sales were approximately $7.1 million. The gain on sales of real estate
was approximately $.09 million, net of federal income taxes.
The Operating Partnership has committed to the construction of five
developments totaling approximately .6 million square feet of GLA. The
estimated total construction costs are approximately $22.8 million. These
developments are expected to be funded with cash flow from operations as well as
19
<PAGE> 21
borrowings under the Operating Partnership's $300 million unsecured revolving
credit facility (the "1997 Unsecured Acquisition Facility").
During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Operating Partnership issued
983,956 units valued, in the aggregate, at $33.8 million in exchange for
interests in certain properties. These contributions are reflected in the
Operating Partnership's financial statements as limited partners contributions.
From July 1, 1998 to August 5, 1998, the Operating Partnership acquired
five industrial properties. The aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions
totaled approximately $22.4 million, excluding costs incurred in conjunction
with the acquisition of the properties.
On March 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership issued $100 million of Dealer
remarketable securities which mature on April 5, 2011 and bear a coupon interest
rate of 6.50% (the "2011 Drs."). The issue price of the 2011 Drs. was 99.753%.
Interest is paid semi-annually in arrears on April 5 and October 5. The 2011
Drs. are callable (the "Call Option"), at the option of J.P. Morgan Securities,
Inc., as Remarketing Dealer (the "Remarketing Dealer"), on April 5, 2001 (the
"Remarketing Date"). The Operating Partnership received approximately $2,760 of
proceeds from the Remarketing Dealer as consideration for the Call Option. The
Operating Partnership will amortize the proceeds over the life of the Call
Option as an adjustment to interest expense. If the holder of the Call Option
calls the 2011 Drs. and elects to remarket the 2011 Drs., then after the
Remarketing Date, the interest rate on the 2011 Drs. will be reset at a fixed
rate until April 5, 2011 based upon a predetermined formula as disclosed in the
related Prospectus Supplement. If the Remarketing Dealer elects not to remarket
the 2011 Drs., then the Operating Partnership will be required to repurchase, on
the Remarketing Date, any 2011 Drs. that have not been purchased by the
Remarketing Dealer at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any. The Operating Partnership also settled an interest
rate protection agreement which was used to fix the interest rate on the 2011
Drs. prior to issuance. The debt issue discount and the settlement amount of
the interest rate protection agreement are being amortized over the life of the
2011 Drs. as an adjustment to interest expense. The 2011 Drs. contain certain
covenants including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage.
On April 16, 1998, the Operating Partnership assumed a mortgage loan in
the amount of $2.5 million (the "Acquisition Mortgage Loan IV"). The
Acquisition Mortgage Loan IV is collateralized by one property in Baltimore,
Maryland, bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.95% and provides for monthly
principle and interest payments based on a 20-year amortization schedule. The
Acquisition Mortgage Loan IV matures October 1, 2006. The Acquisition Mortgage
Loan IV may be prepaid only after October 1, 2001 in exchange for the greater of
a 1% prepayment fee or a yield maintenance premium.
On July 14, 1998, the Operating Partnership issued $200 million of senior
unsecured debt which matures on July 15, 2028 and bears a coupon interest rate
of 7.60% (the "2028 Notes"). The issue price of the 2028 Notes was 99.882%.
Interest is paid semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15. The
Operating Partnership also settled interest rate protection agreements in the
notional amount of $150 million which were used to fix the interest rate on the
2028 Notes prior to issuance. The debt issue discount and the settlement
amount of the interest rate protection agreements are being amortized over the
life of the 2028 Notes as an adjustment to the interest expense. The 2028
Notes contain certain covenants including limitation on incurrence of debt and
debt service coverage.
On February 4, 1998, the Company issued 5,000,000 Depository Shares, each
representing 1/100th of a share of the Company's 7.95%, $.01 par value, Series
D Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock"), at an initial
offering price of $25 per Depository Share. The net proceeds of $120.6
million received from the Series D Preferred Stock were contributed to the
Operating Partnership in exchange for 7.95% Series D Cumulative Preferred Units
(the "Series D Preferred Units") and are reflected in the Operating
Partnership's financial statements as a general partner preferred unit
contribution.
20
<PAGE> 22
On March 18 1998, the Company issued 3,000,000 Depository Shares, each
representing 1/100th of a share of the Company's 7.90%, $.01 par value, Series
E Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Series E Preferred Stock"), at an initial
offering price of $25 per Depository Share. The net proceeds of $72.1 million
received from the Series E Preferred Stock were contributed to the Operating
Partnership in exchange for 7.90% Series E Cumulative Preferred Units (the
"Series E Preferred Units") and are reflected in the Operating Partnership's
financial statements as a general partner preferred unit contribution.
On April 23, 1998, the Company issued, in a private placement, 1,112,644
shares of $.01 par value Common Stock (the "April 1998 Equity Offering"). The
net proceeds of approximately $34.1 million received from the April 1998 Equity
Offering were contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for
1,112,644 Units in the Operating Partnership and are reflected in the Operating
Partnership's financial statements as a general partner contribution.
During the six months ended June 30, 1998, certain employees of the Company
exercised 81,000 employee stock options. Gross proceeds to the Company were
approximately $2.0 million. The gross proceeds from the option exercises were
contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for Units and are reflected
in the Operating Partnership's financial statements as a general partner
contribution.
During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company awarded 51,850
shares of restricted Common Stock to certain employees and 1,179 shares of
restricted Common Stock to certain Directors. Another employee of the Company
converted certain employee stock options to 6,123 shares of restricted Common
Stock. These shares of restricted Common Stock had a fair value of
approximately $2.1 million on the date of grant. The restricted Common Stock
vests over a period from five to ten years. Compensation expense will be
charged to earnings over the vesting period.
On January 2, 1998, the Company granted 4,370,000 non-qualified employee
stock options. These stock options vest over three years based upon certain
performance measures. The stock options have a strike price of $35.8125 per
share and expire ten years from the date of grant. The exercise of these stock
options will result in the issuance of Units to the Company in the same amount.
On May 14, 1998, the Company granted 899,000 non-qualified employee stock
options. These stock options vest over one year and have a strike price of
$31.13 per share. The stock options expire between seven and ten years from the
date of grant. The exercise of these stock options will result in the issuance
of Units to the Company in the same amount.
On January 20, 1998, the Operating Partnership paid a fourth quarter 1997
distribution of $.53 per unit, totaling approximately $22.0 million. On April
20, 1998, the Operating Partnership paid a first quarter 1998 distribution of
$.53 per unit, totaling approximately $22.5 million. On July 20, 1998, the
Operating Partnership paid a second quarter 1998 distribution of $.53 per unit,
totaling approximately $23.6 million.
On March 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership paid a first quarter
distribution of $54.688 per unit on its Series B Cumulative Preferred units. On
March 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership paid a first quarter distribution of
$53.906 per unit on its Series C Cumulative Preferred units. On March 31,
1998, the Operating Partnership paid a second quarter distribution of $30.365
per unit on its Series D Preferred units. The preferred unit distributions
paid on March 31, 1998 totaled, in the aggregate, approximately $4.8 million.
On March 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership accrued $7.13194 per Series E
Preferred unit, totaling $.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998.
On June 30, 1998, the Operating Partnership paid a second quarter
distribution of $54.688 per unit on its Series B Cumulative Preferred units. On
June 30, 1998, the Operating Partnership paid a second quarter distribution of
$53.906 per unit on its Series C Cumulative Preferred units. On June 30, 1998,
the Operating Partnership paid a second quarter distribution of $49.687 per
unit on its Series D Preferred units. On June 30, 1998, the Operating
Partnership paid a period prorated first quarter distribution and a second
quarter distribution totaling $56.5069 per unit on its Series E Preferred
units. The preferred unit distributions paid on June 30, 1998 totaled, in the
aggregate, approximately $7.4 million.
In the second quarter of 1998, the Operating Partnership entered into a
non-binding letter of intent with an institutional investor to create a joint
venture that would invest in industrial properties. The venture is subject,
among other contingencies, to due diligence and the negotiation of definitive
documentation. There can be no assurance that such venture will be created, or
if created, will be successful.
The Operating Partnership 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 Operating
Partnership believes that its principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund
normal recurring expenses, debt service requirements and the minimum
distribution required by the Company to maintain the Company's REIT
qualification under the Internal Revenue Code. The Operating Partnership
anticipates that these needs will be met with cash flows provided by operating
activities.
21
<PAGE> 23
The Operating Partnership expects to meet long-term (greater than one
year) liquidity requirements such as property acquisitions, scheduled debt
maturities, major renovations, expansions and other non-recurring capital
improvements through long-term unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of
additional units in the Operating Partnership (the "Units") and preferred
units. On June 30, 1998, the Operating Partnership had registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), approximately $300.0
million of debt securities. As of August 5, 1998, $100.0 million of debt
securities remained registered under the Securities Act and were unissued. The
Operating Partnership may finance the development or acquisition of additional
properties through borrowings under the 1997 Unsecured Acquisition Facility. At
June 30, 1998, borrowings under the 1997 Unsecured Acquisition Facility bore
interest at a weighted average interest rate of 6.51%. As of August 5, 1998,
the Operating Partnership had approximately $231.9 million available in
additional borrowings under the 1997 Unsecured Acquisition Facility. Along
with the Operating Partnership's current strategy of meeting long-term
liquidity requirements through the issuance, from time to time, of long-term
secured and unsecured indebtedness and additional equity securities, the
Operating Partnership is actively considering joint ventures with various
institutional partners and the disposition of select assets as additional
financing strategies.
OTHER
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income". This statement, effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1997, requires the Operating Partnership 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 Operating Partnership's net income available to
its unitholders approximates its comprehensive income as defined in Concepts
Statement No. 6, "Elements of Financial Statements".
In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information".
This statement, effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1997, requires that a public business enterprise report
financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments.
Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the basis that
it is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to
allocate resources to segments. The Operating Partnership has not yet
determined the impact of this statement on its financial statements.
In March 1998, the FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force (the "Task Force")
issued Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 97-11, "Accounting for Internal
Costs Relating to Real Estate Property Acquisitions" ("EITF 97-11"). EITF
97-11, effective March 19, 1998, requires that internal costs of preacquisition
activities incurred in connection with the acquisition of an operating property
should be expensed as incurred. The Task Force concluded that a property is
considered operating if, at the date of acquisition, major construction
activity is substantially completed on the property and (a) it is held
available for occupancy upon completion of tenant improvements by the acquirer
or (b) it is already income producing. The Operating Partnership adopted EITF
97-11 as of March 19, 1998. Prior to March 19, 1998, the Operating Partnership
capitalized internal costs of preacquisition activities incurred in connection
with the acquisition of operating properties. The Operating Partnership
estimates that the adoption of EITF 97-11 will result in a cumulative increase
of approximately $2.5 million to $3.0 million in the amount of general and
administrative expense reflected in the Operating Partnership's consolidated
statement of operations in 1998.
In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position
98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities" ("SOP 98-5"). SOP 98-5
requires that the net unamortized balance of all start-up costs and
organizational
22
<PAGE> 24
costs be written off as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle
and all future start-up costs and organizational costs be expensed. In the
second quarter of 1998, the Operating Partnership has reported a cumulative
effect of a change in accounting principle in the amount of $.7 million to
reflect the write-off of the unamortized balance of organizational costs on the
Operating Partnership's balance sheet.
During the second quarter of 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities". This statement, effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 1999, establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring
that every derivative instrument, including certain derivative instruments
imbedded in other contracts, be recorded in the balance sheet as either an
asset or liability measured at its fair value. The statement also requires
that the changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized in earnings
unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The Operating Partnership
is currently assessing the impact of this new statement on its consolidated
financial position, liquidity, and results of operations.
