On June 27, 2000, Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. acquired 20/22 Firstfield Road and 1300 Quince Orchard Road (collectively referred to as the "Property"), located in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The Property contains a combination of office and laboratory space for lease principally to tenants in the life science industry. We purchased the Property for $18,000,000, including the assumption of an existing secured note payable to Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp. in the amount of $10,040,000 secured by the Property. The note bears interest at a rate of 8.25% per annum, requires monthly payments of principal and interest based on a 30 year amortization schedule and matures in August 2007. The remainder of the purchase price was funded through a draw on our unsecured line of credit. The purchase price was determined through arm's length negotiations. The Property contains approximately 163,000 rentable square feet. It is presently 50% leased to two tenants. We purchased the Property from Richtree Corporation, a Maryland corporation that is not affiliated with us.

To the Board of Directors
Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses of 20/22 Firstfield Road and 1300 Quince Orchard Road (the "Property") for the year ended December 31, 1999. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. 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, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses includes the operations of 20/22 Firstfield Road and 1300 Quince Orchard Road, located in Gaithersburg, Maryland (the "Property"). ARE-20/22/1300 Firstfield Quince Orchard, 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, 1999, the Property was 66% occupied and leased to two 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.

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.

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases.

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.

The future minimum lease payments to be received under noncancelable operating leases as of December 31, 1999 are as follows (in thousands):

The above future minimum lease payments do not include specified payments for tenant reimbursements of operating expenses.
