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 is First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company") with an
approximate 86% ownership interest at March 31, 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 14% aggregate ownership interest at March 31, 1998.
The Operating Partnership owns 100% of FR Development Services, L.L.C, 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 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 minority
ownership interest in FR Development Services, Inc. is not reflected in the
consolidated financial statements due to its immateriality. As of March 31,
1998, the Operating Partnership directly owned 746 in-service properties
containing an aggregate of approximately 50.8 million square feet of gross
leasable area ("GLA"). On a combined basis, as of March 31, 1998, the Other
Real Estate Partnerships owned 88 in-service properties containing an aggregate
of approximately 10.2 million square feet of GLA. Of the 88 properties owned
by the Other Real Estate Partnerships at March 31, 1998, 16 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, three are owned by the Indianapolis
Partnership and one is owned 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 Partnerships. 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 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR PER UNIT DATA)
(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 March 31, 1998 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the three months ended March 31, 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 $1,000 as of March 31,
1998 and December 31, 1997.
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 nonowner 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

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
connection with the acquisition of operating properties. The Operating
Partnership estimates that the adoption of EITF 97-11 will result in an 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, assuming an increase in the amount of acquisition support
activity the Operating Partnership outsources relative to such activity the
Operating Partnership continues to perform internally.
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 expects to
report a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the amount of
approximately $885 to reflect the write-off of the unamortized balance of
organizational costs on the Operating Partnership's balance sheet.
Reclassification:
Certain 1997 items have been reclassified to conform to the 1998
presentation.
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. The Operating Partnership also
entered into 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.

5. PARTNERS' CAPITAL
The Operating Partnership has issued general partnership units, limited
partnership units (together, the "Units") and preferred general partnership
units. The general partnership units resulted from capital contributions from
the Company. The limited partnership units are issued in conjunction with the
acquisition of certain properties (see discussion below). The preferred
general partnership units resulted from preferred capital contributions from
the Company. The Operating Partnership will be required to make all required
distributions on the preferred general partnership units prior to any
distribution of cash or assets to the holders of the general and limited
partnership units except for distributions required to enable the Company to
maintain its qualification as a REIT.
Unit Contributions:
During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership
issued 54,407 Units valued, in the aggregate, at $1,971 in exchange for
interests in certain properties. These contributions are reflected in the
Operating Partnership's financial statements as limited partners contributions.
During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company awarded 51,850
shares of restricted Common Stock to certain employees and 552 shares of
restricted Common Stock to certain Directors. Another employee of the Company
converted certain employee stock options to 3,765 shares of restricted Common
Stock. The Operating Partnership issued Units to the Company in the same
amount. These shares of restricted Common Stock had a fair value of $1,999 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.
Preferred Unit Contributions:
On February 4, 1998, the Company issued 5,000,000 Depositary 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 Depositary Share. The net proceeds of $120,562
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.

5. PARTNERS' CAPITAL, CONTINUED
On March 18 1998, the Company issued 3,000,000 Depositary 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 Depositary Share. The net proceeds of $72,138
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.
Non-Qualified Employee Stock Options:
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.
6. ACQUISITION OF REAL ESTATE
During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership
acquired 53 existing industrial properties and one land parcel. The aggregate
purchase price for these acquisitions totaled approximately $127,689,
excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the properties.
Of the 53 existing industrial properties and land parcel purchased by the
Operating Partnership during the three months ended March 31, 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 $7,900, excluding costs incurred in
conjunction with the acquisition of the properties.
7. SALES OF REAL ESTATE
During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership
sold one existing industrial property and one land parcel. Gross proceeds 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 four
developments totaling approximately .5 million square feet of GLA. The
estimated total construction costs are approximately $17,689. These
developments are expected to be funded with cash flow from operations as well
as borrowings under the 1997 Unsecured Acquisition Facility.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
From April 1, 1998 to May 11, 1998, the Company acquired 93 industrial
properties. The aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions totaled
approximately $199,152 million, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with
the acquisition of the properties.
On April 20, 1998 the Operating Partnership paid a first quarter 1998
distribution of $.53 per Unit, totaling approximately $22,492.
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
estimated net proceeds of $33,900 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 will be reflected in the Operating
Partnership's financial statements as a general partner contribution.
12. PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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 March 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership owned 746 in-service
properties with approximately 50.8 million square feet of Gross Leasable Area
("GLA"), compared to 183 in-service properties with approximately 16.2 million
square feet of GLA at March 31, 1997. The addition of 567 properties between
April 1, 1997 and March 31, 1998 included the acquisitions of 388 properties
totaling approximately 20.9 million square feet of GLA, the completed
development of six properties totaling approximately .8 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 four
in-service properties totaling approximately .5 million square feet of GLA, one
property held for redevelopment and several land parcels.
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1997
Rental income and tenant recoveries and other income increased by $44.2
million or 233.8% due primarily to the properties acquired or developed after
March 31, 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 $.5
million or 1.7% due to a decrease in tenant recoveries 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 $13.2 million or 216.3% due primarily to the properties acquired
or developed after March 31, 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 $.7 million or 7.2% due primarily to a decrease in snow removal
and related expenses for properties located in certain of the Operating
Partnership's metropolitan areas during the three months ended March 31, 1998.
General and administrative expense increased by $1.4 million 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.
Interest expense increased by $11.7 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997 due primarily
to an increase in borrowings to fund the acquisition of additional properties.
Depreciation and other amortization increased by $8.6 million due
primarily to the additional depreciation and amortization related to the
properties acquired after March 31, 1997 and the distribution of 173 properties
from the Financing Partnership to the Operating Partnership on January 2, 1998.
The $.04 million gain on sales of real estate resulted from the sale of
one property and a land parcel. Gross proceeds from this sale were
approximately $1.8 million.
15
<PAGE> 17
Equity in Income of Other Real Estate Partnerships increased by $2.9
million or 50.1% due primarily to one of the Other Real Estate Partnerships
recognizing an increase in same store net operating income and four of the
Other Real Estate Partnerships having a greater amount of in-service properties
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the three months ended
March 31, 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities was $28.4 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1997. This increase is due primarily to an increase in net operating
income due to the operations of properties acquired or developed between April
1, 1997 and March 31, 1998 and the distribution of 173 properties from the
Financing Partnership to the Operating Partnership on January 2, 1998 as well
as an increase in the amount of accrued interest on the Operating Partnership's
senior unsecured debt.
Net cash used in investing activities increased to $183.1 million from
$124.0 million due primarily to an increase in the acquisition of properties as
well as an increase in the amount of contributions made to the Other Real
Estate Partnerships to fund acquisitions and developments.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased to $152.7 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $118.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 due primarily to preferred contributions from the general
partner and the issuance of senior unsecured debt partially offset by a net
decrease in acquisition facility borrowings and an increase in distributions
due to the general and limited partners.
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends was
1.90 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to 6.09 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997. The decrease is primarily due to additional
interest expense and preferred general partner unit distributions incurred
during the three months ended March 31, 1998 from additional debt issued and
preferred general partner contributions to fund property acquisitions, which is
partially offset by higher net operating income from property acquisitions and
the distribution of 177 properties from the Financing Partnership to the
Operating Partnership on January 2, 1998 as discussed in the "Results of
Operations" above.
Between January 1, 1998 and March 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership
purchased 53 industrial properties and one land parcel, for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $127.7 million excluding costs incurred in
conjunction with the acquisition price. Of the 53 existing industrial
properties and land parcel purchased by the Operating Partnership during the
three months ended March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership
sold one existing industrial property and one land parcel. Gross proceeds from
these sales were approximately $1.8 million. The gain on sales of real estate
was approximately $.04 million.
16
<PAGE> 18
The Operating Partnership has committed to the construction of four
developments totaling approximately .5 million square feet of GLA. The
estimated total construction costs are approximately $17.7 million. These
developments are expected to be funded with cash flow from operations as well
as borrowings under the 1997 Unsecured Acquisition Facility.
During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership
issued 54,407 units valued, in the aggregate, at $2.0 million in exchange for
interests in certain properties. These contributions are reflected in the
Operating Partnership's financial statements as limited partners contributions.
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. The Operating Partnership also
entered into 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 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.
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.
During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company awarded 51,850
shares of restricted Common Stock to certain employees and 552 shares of
restricted Common Stock to certain Directors. Another employee of the Company
converted certain employee stock options to 3,765 shares of restricted Common
Stock. These shares of restricted Common Stock had a fair value of $2.0 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.

<PAGE> 19
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 March 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership paid a first quarter
distribution of $54.688 per Unit on its Series B Cumulative Preferred Units,
totaling $2.2 million.
On March 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership paid a first quarter
distribution of $53.906 per Unit on its Series C Cumulative Preferred Units,
totaling $1.1 million.
On March 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership paid a period prorated first
quarter distribution of $30.365 per Unit on its Series D Preferred Units,
totaling $1.5 million.
The Operating Partnership has accrued $7.13194 per Series E Preferred
Unit, totaling $.2 million, for the three months ended March 31, 1998. This
distribution will be paid on June 30, 1998.
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 $33.9 million received from the April 1998 Equity Offering were
contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 1,112,644 Units and
will be reflected in the Operating Partnership's financial statements as a
general partner contribution.
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.
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 March 31, 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 May 11, 1998, $300.0 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
March 31, 1998, borrowings under the 1997 Unsecured Acquisition Facility bore
interest at a weighted average interest rate of 6.488%. As of May 11, 1998,
the Operating Partnership had approximately $141.6 million available in
additional borrowings under the 1997 Unsecured Acquisition Facility. While the
Operating Partnership may sell properties if property or market conditions make
it desirable, the Operating Partnership does not expect to sell assets in the
foreseeable future to satisfy its liquidity requirements.
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 nonowner sources. It includes all changes in
equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and
distributions to owners. The
18
<PAGE> 20
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 an 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, assuming an increase in the amount of
acquisition support activity the Operating Partnership outsources relative to
such activity the Operating Partnership continues to perform internally.
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 expects to
report a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the amount of
approximately $885 to reflect the write-off of the unamortized balance of
organizational costs on the Operating Partnership's balance sheet.
