presently 100% leased. We purchased the property from Alza Corporation, a
Delaware corporation.

On July 30, 1999, we acquired 2425 Garcia Avenue and 2400/2450 Bayshore Parkway,
located in Mountain View, California. We purchased the property for $21,417,000,
which was based on arm's length negotiations. We funded the purchase through a
draw on our unsecured line of credit. Prior to our acquisition, the owner
occupied the property. The property contains approximately 99,000 rentable

Inc., a Delaware corporation.

(1)  The financial statements for 2625/2627/2631 Hanover Street and
for 2425 Garcia Avenue and 2400/2450 Bayshore Parkway have not been included
because the properties were owner-occupied prior to acquisition. As a result,
there are no historical operating results as rental properties. Subsequent to
our acquisition, triple-net leases were executed for 100% of the rentable
areas of these properties, requiring the tenants to pay substantially all
expenses associated with the respective property.

                         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
9363/9373/9393 Towne Centre Drive (the Property) for the year ended December 31,
1998. 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, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                                December 31, 1998


1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

The accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses includes the
operations of 9363/9373/9393 Towne Centre Drive, located in San Diego,
California (the "Property"). ARE-9363/9373/9393 Towne Centre, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Alexandria
Real Estate Equities, Inc., a Maryland corporation, acquired the Property
from a nonaffiliated third party. As of December 31, 1998, the Property was
100% occupied and leased to three tenants under triple-net leases, which
require the tenants to pay their pro rata share of substantially all expenses
associated with the Property, including operating and maintenance, utilities,
taxes and insurance.

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 we expect to incur 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 2625/2627/2631 Hanover
              Street or 2425 Garcia Avenue and 2400/2450 Bayshore Parkway for
              the periods prior to acquisition because the properties were
              owner-occupied prior to purchase, and, as a result, there were no
              operating results as rental properties.

     (C)      Increase in interest expense due to draws on our unsecured line
              of credit.
