ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
The properties listed below and in Item 5 hereof were acquired by Alexandria
Real Estate Equities, Inc. or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Company"). One of the properties (620 Memorial Drive)
contains a combination of office and laboratory space for lease principally
to tenants in the life science industry (a "Life Science Facility"). The other
property (279 Princeton Road) is an office building suitable for conversion
to a Life Science Facility. Each of the properties acquired by the Company
were purchased from sellers that were unrelated to each other and
unaffiliated with the Company.
On November 5, 1998, the Company acquired 620 Memorial Drive, a Life Science
Facility located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The property was purchased for
$36,500,000, which was based on arm's length negotiations. The purchase price
was partially funded through the assumption of a secured note payable to La
Salle National Bank in the amount of $17,904,000. The debt bears interest at
a rate of 9.125% per annum, with monthly payments of principal and interest
based on a 30 year amortization schedule. The loan matures in October 2007.
The remainder of the purchase price was funded through a draw on the
Company's unsecured line of credit. The property contains approximately
98,000 rentable square feet. It is presently 100% leased to a single tenant.
The property was purchased from Charles River Building Limited Partnership, a
Delaware limited partnership.
ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On October 20, 1998, the Company acquired 279 Princeton Road, located in
Princeton, New Jersey. The property was purchased for $2,500,000, which was
based on arm's length negotiations. The purchase price was funded through a
draw on the Company's unsecured line of credit. The property contains
approximately 43,000 rentable square feet of office space and is presently
vacant. The property was purchased from PA Consulting Group, Inc., a New
Jersey corporation.

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Board of Directors
Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses of
620 Memorial Drive (the Property) for the year ended December 31, 1997. This
statement of revenue and certain expenses is the responsibility of management
of the Property. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the statement
of revenue and certain expenses 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 statement of revenue and
certain expenses 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 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 statement of revenue and certain expenses was prepared for
the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Certain expenses (described in Note 1) that would not be
comparable to those resulting from the proposed future operations of the
Property are excluded and the statement is not intended to be a complete
presentation of the revenue and expenses of the Property.
In our opinion, the statement of revenue and certain expenses presents
fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses, as
defined above, of the Property for the year ended December 31, 1997, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses
Year Ended December 31, 1997
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
The accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses includes the
operations of 620 Memorial Drive located in Cambridge, Massachusetts (the
"Property"), which was acquired by ARE-620 Memorial Drive, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Alexandria
Real Estate Equities, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), from a
nonaffiliated third party. As of December 31, 1997, the Property was 100%
occupied and leased to one tenant under a triple-net lease requiring the
tenant to directly pay for all of the operating expenses associated with the
Property, excluding ground rent. Prior to purchase of the Property by the
Company, the lease with this tenant was terminated, and the Property was
fully leased to another tenant (see Note 2).
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying statement has been prepared to comply with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Property is not a legal entity and the accompanying statement is not
representative of the actual operations for the period presented, as certain
expenses that may not be comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred
by the Company in the future operations of the Property have been excluded.
Excluded expenses consist of interest, depreciation and amortization, and
property general and administrative costs not directly comparable to the
future operations of the Property.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the
related leases.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INCOME
STATEMENTS
No pro forma adjustments have been made for 279 Princeton Road for
the periods prior to acquisition because the property was vacant
prior to acquisition. In addition, the pro forma condensed
consolidated income statement has not been adjusted to include
additional interest and depreciation expense because the
property would have been under redevelopment after acquisition
(assuming the purchase had occured on January 1, 1997).
(C) Increase in interest expense associated with the purchase of 620
Memorial Drive due to draws on the Company's unsecured line of
credit and the assumption of the secured note payable to La Salle
National Bank in the amount of $17,904,000. The note bears
interest at a rate of 9.125% per annum and matures in October
2007.
(D) Increase in depreciation expense to reflect a full period of
depreciation for 620 Memorial Drive utilizing a 40 year useful
life.
(E) Represents the actual historical results of the Acquisition LLC
Properties from the beginning of the period through the date of
acquisition. The Company acquired ARE-Acquisitions, LLC (the
"Acquisition LLC"), thereby acquiring the Acquisition LLC
Properties, in connection with the Offering.

STATEMENTS
(F) Represents additional interest income from investing the proceeds
of the exercise of the over-allotment option from the Offering at
a rate of 5.4%.
(G) Increase in general and administrative expenses related to
operations as a public entity consisting of increased salaries and
bonuses, directors and officers insurance, investor relations and
public entity and listing fees.
(H) Decrease in interest expense due to repayment of certain mortgage
loans in connection with the Offering, partially offset by new
mortgage debt incurred in connection with the Offering, and the
amortization of finance costs related to the unsecured line of
credit.
(I) In connection with the Offering, the Company acquired 100% of the
membership interests in the Acquisition LLC for $58,844,000, which
exceeded the purchase price paid by the Acquisition LLC for the
Acquisition LLC Properties by $6,973,000. This difference was
accounted for as a financing cost and is being eliminated on a pro
forma basis due to its non-continuing nature.
(J) In connection with the Offering, the Company repaid certain
secured notes payable having an aggregate principal balance of
$72,698,000. In connection with the repayment of these loans, the
Company wrote off $2,147,000 of unamortized loan costs. This
charge is being eliminated on a pro forma basis due to its
non-continuing nature.
(K) Increase in depreciation expense to reflect a full period of
depreciation for the Acquisition LLC Properties utilizing a
40-year useful life.
(L) Pro forma shares of common stock of the Company outstanding on a
historical net income basis include all shares outstanding after
giving effect to the conversion of all series of preferred stock,

stock grants and exercise of certain substitute stock options in
connection with the Offering.

outstanding after giving effect to the Offering.
