                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS




To the Partners of First Industrial, L.P.


          We have audited the accompanying combined historical statement of
revenues and certain expenses of the 1998 Acquisition II Properties as described
in Note 1 for the year ended December 31, 1997. This financial statement is the
responsibility of the 1998 Acquisition II Properties' management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement based on our
audit.

          We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

          The accompanying combined historical statement of revenues and certain
expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Form
8-K/A No. 1 dated November 6, 1998 of First Industrial, L.P. and is not intended
to be a complete presentation of the 1998 Acquisition II Properties' revenues
and expenses.

          In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents
fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses of the 1998
Acquisition II Properties for the year ended December 31, 1997 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

          The Combined Historical Statements of Revenues and Certain Expenses
(the "Statements") combined the results of operations of 48 industrial
properties acquired by First Industrial, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership")
during the period April 17, 1998 through November 6, 1998 (the "1998 Acquisition

          The 1998 Acquisition II Properties were acquired for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $55.0 million.

</TABLE>

          The unaudited Combined Historical Statement of Revenues and Certain
Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 includes the operations
only for those periods for which the properties were not owned by the Operating
Partnership and reflects, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of the interim statement. All such adjustments
are of a normal and recurring nature.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

          The Statements exclude certain expenses such as interest, depreciation
and amortization, professional fees, and other costs not directly related to the
future operations of the 1998 Acquisition II Properties that may not be
comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred in their proposed future
operations. Management is not aware of any material factors relating to these
properties which would cause the reported financial information not to be
necessarily indicative of future operating results.

          In order to conform with generally accepted accounting principles,
management, in preparation of the Statements, is required to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and certain expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.


Revenue and Expense Recognition 
          The Statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

          Rental income is recorded when due from tenants based upon lease
terms. The effects of scheduled rent increases and rental concessions, if any,
are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the tenant's lease.

3.       FUTURE RENTAL REVENUES

          The 1998 Acquisition II Properties are leased to tenants under net,
semi-net and gross operating leases. Minimum lease payments receivable,
excluding tenant reimbursement of expenses, under noncancelable operating leases
in effect as of December 31, 1997 are approximately as follows:

                             FIRST INDUSTRIAL, L.P.
                     NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.           BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

          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 83.8% ownership interest at September
30, 1998.

          Since the filing of the Operating Partnership's Form 8-K dated April
6, 1998, as amended by the report on Form 8-K/A No. 1 filed on June 16, 1998,
the Operating Partnership acquired 69 industrial properties from unrelated
parties and one industrial property from a related party during the period April
17, 1998 through November 6, 1998 and partnerships in which the Operating
Partnership owns a 99% limited partnership interest (the "Other Real Estate
Parternships") purchased three industrial properties from unrelated parties and
one industrial property from a related party during the period April 17, 1998
through November 6, 1998. The combined purchase price of the 70 industrial
properties acquired by the Operating Partnership totaled approximately $102.0
million, excluding closing costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of
the industrial properties. The combined purchase price of the four industrial
properties acquired by the Other Real Estate Partnerships totaled approximately
$7.2 million, excluding closing costs incurred in conjunction with the
acquisition of the industrial properties. The 70 industrial properties acquired
by the Operating Partnership and the four industrial properties acquired by the
Other Real Estate Partnerships were funded with either or a combination of
working capital, the issuance of limited partnership units in the Operating
Partnership (the "Units"), preferred capital contributions from the general
partner, the assumption of secured debt, borrowings under the Operating
Partnership's $300 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the "1997
Unsecured Acquisition Facility") and the issuance of other unsecured debt. The
Operating Partnership and the Other Real Estate Partnerships will operate the
facilities as industrial rental property.

          On September 28, 1998, the Operating Partnership, through a limited
liability company in which the Operating Partnership is the sole member, entered
into a joint venture arrangement (the "September 1998 Joint Venture") with an
institutional investor to invest in industrial properties. Two limited liability
companies in which the Operating Partnership is the sole member, will own a 10%
equity interest in the September 1998 Joint Venture and will provide property
and asset management services to the September 1998 Joint Venture. The September
1998 Joint Venture acquired 104 industrial properties from unrelated parties and
seven industrial properties (the "September 1998 Joint Venture Sale Properties")
from the Operating Partnership during the period October 9, 1998 through
November 6, 1998. The combined purchase price of the 111 industrial properties
acquired totaled approximately $171.0 million, excluding closing costs incurred
in conjunction with the acquisition of the industrial properties. The 111
industrial properties acquired by the September 1998 Joint Venture were funded
with cash capital contributions made by the partners of the September 1998 Joint
Venture and the assumption and issuance of secured debt. The September 1998
Joint Venture will operate these facilities as industrial rental property.

          The accompanying unaudited pro forma balance sheet and unaudited pro
forma statement of operations for the Operating Partnership reflect the
historical financial position of the Operating Partnership as of September 30,
1998, the historical operations of the Operating Partnership for the period
January 1, 1998 through September 30, 1998, adjusted by the acquisition of 30
properties (the "1998 Acquisition A Properties") and 111 properties (the "1998
Acquisition I Properties") during the period January 1, 1998 through April 16,
1998 which are reported on Form 8-K/A No. 1 dated April 6, 1998, the acquisition
of 18 properties (the "1998 Acquisition B Properties") and 48 properties (the
"1998 Acquisition II Properties") acquired and the sale of the September 1998   
Joint Venture Sale Properties during the period April 17, 1998 through November
6, 1998 reported on this Form 8-K/A No. 1 dated November 6, 1998 and the
Operating Partnership's 99% equity interest in the operations of  24 industrial
properties purchased by the other Real Estate Partnerships during the period
January 1, 1998 through November 6, 1998 and the Operating Partnership's 10%
equity interest in the September 1998 Joint Venture.

          The accompanying unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of September 30,
1998 has been prepared as if the properties acquired and sold subsequent to     
September 30, 1998 had been acquired or sold, respectively, on September 30,
1998, the Operating Partnership's 10% equity interest in the September 1998
Joint Venture acquired after September 30, 1998 had been acquired on September
30, 1998 and the assumption of $1.3 million of secured debt had occurred on
September 30, 1998.

operations of 24  industrial properties purchased by the Other Real Estate
Partnerships during  the period January 1, 1998 through November 6, 1998 had
been acquired on January 1, 1997. In addition, the unaudited pro forma
statement of operations is prepared as if the assumption of $8.7 million of
secured debt, the issuance on March 31, 1998 of $100 million of unsecured debt
bearing interest at 6.5% which matures on April 5, 2011 (the "2011 Drs."), the
issuance on July 14, 1998 of $200 million of unsecured debt bearing interest at
7.60% which matures on July 15, 2028 (the "2028 Notes"), the issuance on
February 4, 1998 of the 7.95% Series D Preferred Units (the "Series D Preferred
Capital Contribution") and the issuance on March 18, 1998 of the 7.90% Series E
Preferred Units (the "Series E Preferred Capital Contribution") and the
issuance on April 23, 1998 of 1,112,644 general partnership units in the
Operating Partnership (the "April 1998 Capital Contribution") had been
completed on January 1, 1997.

          The unaudited pro forma balance sheet is not necessarily indicative of
what the Operating Partnership's financial position would have been as of
September 30, 1998 had the transactions been consummated as described above, nor
does it purport to present the future financial position of the Operating
Partnership. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations is not necessarily
indicative of what the Operating Partnership's results of operations would have
been for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 had the transactions been
consummated as described above, nor does it purport to present the future
results of operations of the Operating Partnership.

          for the pro forma period as if such indebtedness was outstanding
          beginning January 1, 1997.

          Acquisition Facility for the assumed earlier purchase of the 1998

                             FIRST INDUSTRIAL, L.P.
                     NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.        BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

          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 83.3% ownership interest at December
31, 1997.

          Since the filing of the Operating Partnership's Form 8-K dated April 
6, 1998, as amended by the report on Form 8-K/A No.1 filed on June 16, 1998, the
Operating Partnership acquired 69 industrial properties from unrelated parties
and one industrial property from a related party during the period April 17,
1998 through November 6, 1998 and partnerships in which the Operating
Partnership owns a 99% limited partnership interest (the "Other Real Estate
Parternships") purchased three industrial properties from unrelated parties and
one property from a related party during the period April 17, 1998 through
November 6, 1998. The combined purchase price of the 70 industrial properties
acquired by the Operating Partnership totaled approximately $102.0 million,
excluding closing costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the
industrial properties. The combined purchase price of the four industrial
properties acquired by the Other Real Estate Partnerships totaled approximately
$7.2 million, excluding closing costs incurred in conjunction with the
acquisition of the industrial properties. The 70 industrial properties acquired
by the Operating Partnership and the four industrial properties acquired by the
Other Real Estate Partnerships were funded with either or a combination of
working capital, the issuance of limited partnership units in the Operating
Partnership (the "Units"), preferred capital contributions from the general
partner, the assumption of secured debt, borrowings under the Operating
Partnership's $300 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the "1997
Unsecured Acquisition Facility") and the issuance of other unsecured debt. The
Operating Partnership and the Other Real Estate Partnerships will operate the
facilities as industrial rental property.

          On September 28, 1998, the Operating Partnership, through a limited
liability company in which the Operating Partnership is the sole member, entered
into a joint venture arrangement (the "September 1998 Joint Venture") with an
institutional investor to invest in industrial properties. Two limited liability
companies in which the Operating Partnership is the sole member, will own a 10%
equity interest in the September 1998 Joint Venture and will provide property
and asset management services to the September 1998 Joint Venture. The September
1998 Joint Venture acquired 104 industrial properties from unrelated parties and
seven industrial properties (the "September 1998 Joint Venture Sale     
Properties") from the Operating Partnership during the period October 9, 1998
through November 6, 1998. The combined purchase price of the 111 industrial
properties acquired totaled approximately $171.0 million, excluding closing
costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the industrial
properties. The 111 industrial properties acquired by the September 1998 Joint
Venture were funded with cash capital contributions made by the partners of the
September 1998 Joint Venture and the assumption and issuance of secured debt.
The September 1998 Joint Venture will operate these facilities as industrial
rental property.

          The accompanying unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the
Operating Partnership reflects the historical operations of the Operating
Partnership for the period January 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997 adjusted by

Properties"), the acquisition of 30 properties (the "1998 Acquisition A
