CABOT INDUSTRIAL TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JUNE 30, 1998
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE, PER SHARE AND SQUARE FOOTAGE DATA)
1. General
Organization
Cabot Industrial Trust (the Company), a Maryland real estate investment trust,
was formed on October 10, 1997. The Company is the managing general partner of
a newly formed limited partnership, Cabot Industrial Properties, L.P. (the
Operating Partnership), and will conduct substantially all of its business
through the Operating Partnership. As the general partner of the Operating
Partnership, the Company has the exclusive power under the agreement of limited
partnership to manage and conduct the business of the Operating Partnership, and
therefore the Company consolidates the results of the Operating Partnership for
financial reporting purposes. The Company is a fully integrated, internally
managed real estate company formed to continue and expand the national real
estate business of Cabot Partners Limited Partnership (Cabot Partners). The
Company expects to qualify as a real estate investment trust (a REIT) for
federal income tax purposes.
Since the Company was formed on October 10, 1997 and did not begin operations
until February 4, 1998 (see Note 2), the results for the six months ended June
30, 1998 represent activity for 147 days only.
Use of Estimates
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 assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Rental Income
All leases are classified as operating leases. Certain leases provide for
minimum rent payments that increase during the term of the lease and tenant
occupancy during periods for which no rent is due. The Company records rental
income for the full term of each lease on a straight-line basis. As of June 30,
1998, the receivables from tenants, net of reserves, which the Company expects
to collect over the remaining life of the leases rather than currently
(Deferred Rent) was $1,090. Deferred Rent is not recognized for income tax
purposes until received.
2. The Formation Transactions, The Offerings and Ownership
Initial Capitalization
The initial capitalization of the Company consisted of 50 shares of common
stock, par value $.01 per share, issued for a total consideration of $1. In
connection with the Formation Transactions and Offerings (described below), the
Company issued an additional 18,586,714 shares of common stock.
The Formation Transactions
On February 4, 1998, under a Contribution Agreement executed by the Company, the
Operating Partnership, Cabot Partners, and various other contributors, 122 real
estate properties, certain real estate advisory contracts and other assets were
(i) contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for Units in the
Operating Partnership that may, subject to certain restrictions, be exchanged
for common shares of the Company or (ii) contributed to the Company in exchange
for common shares. The properties contributed to the Company were contributed
to the Operating Partnership in exchange for the number of general partnership
Units in the Operating Partnership equal to the number of common shares
exchanged for the property.
The Operating Partnership contributed the real estate advisory contracts to
Cabot Advisors, Inc. (the Management Company) and received 100% of the non-
voting preferred stock of the Management Company, which entitles it to 95% of
the Management Company's net operating cash flow. All of the common stock of
the Management Company is owned by an officer of the Company.
At June 30, 1998, the Company owned 42.7% of the Operating Partnership. The
remaining 57.3%, which is owned by investors that elected to receive Operating
Partnership Units, is considered minority interest.

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE, PER SHARE AND SQUARE FOOTAGE DATA)
The Offerings
On February 4, 1998, the Company completed the offering of 8,625,000 common
shares of beneficial interest (Common Shares) at an offering price of $20.00 per
share. In addition, the Company issued 1,000,000 Common Shares to a single
investor in a private offering at $20.00 per share (collectively, the
Offerings). The Company contributed the net proceeds of the Offerings to the
Operating Partnership in exchange for the number of general partnership
interests in the Operating Partnership equal to the number of Common Shares sold
in the Offerings.
Distributions
On April 8, 1998 the Company and the Operating Partnership declared
distributions payable on April 30, 1998 to Shareholders or Unitholders of record
as of April 22, 1998, of $.202 per Share/Unit, and on June 11, 1998 the Company
and the Operating Partnership declared distributions payable on July 30, 1998 to
Shareholders or Unitholders of record as of July 10, 1998, of $.325 per
Share/Unit .
3. Investment in Real Estate
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company has
accounted for the Formation Transactions using the purchase method of
accounting. As such, the assets and liabilities acquired in connection with the
Formation Transactions are recorded at the fair value of the consideration
surrendered and liabilities assumed, except for the net assets contributed by
Cabot Partners, the sponsor and organizer, which were recorded at carryover
historical cost basis. The acquisition cost was then allocated to all
identifiable assets based upon their individual estimated fair market values.
The following is a summary of the acquisition cost recorded in connection with
the Formation Transactions:

Investments in real estate are depreciated over 40 years using the straight-line
method. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to
operations as incurred. Significant building renovations and improvements that
improve or extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized. Tenant
improvements and leasing commissions are capitalized and amortized on the
straight-line method over the terms of the related lease.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The statements contained in this discussion and elsewhere in this report that
are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are based on current
expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which
the Company operates, management's beliefs and assumptions made by management.
Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks,"
"estimates" and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to
identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are
not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties.
Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is
expressed or suggested by such forward-looking statements. The Company
undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The
Company's operating results depend primarily on income from industrial
properties, which may be affected by various factors, including changes in
national and local economic conditions, competitive market conditions,
uncertainties and costs related to and the imposition of conditions on receipt
of governmental approvals and costs of material and labor, all of which may
cause actual results to differ materially from what is expressed herein. Capital
and credit market conditions which affect the Company's cost of capital also
influence operating results.
Introduction
The Company is an internally managed, fully integrated real estate company,
focused on serving a variety of industrial space users in the country's
principal commercial markets. The Company owns and operates a diversified
portfolio of bulk distribution, multi-tenant distribution and "workspace" (light
assembly and flex/R & D) properties throughout the United States. At June 30,
1998 the Company owned 171 properties, 122 of which properties were acquired in
connection with the Formation Transactions described in Note 2 to the
consolidated financial statements herein, and 49 of which properties were
acquired during the period from February 4, 1998 through June 30, 1998 (21 of
the 49 properties were identified in the prospectus for the Company's initial
public offering dated January 30, 1998). The Company was formed on October 10,
1997, but did not begin operations as a fully integrated real estate company
until the completion of the Formation Transactions and Offerings on February 4,
1998, the date of the Company's initial public offering. The Company had no
operations prior to February 4, 1998. Unless otherwise indicated, in the
following discussion dollars are in thousands, except share data.
Results of Operations
Since the Company was formed in October 1997 and did not begin operations until
February 4, 1998, the results for the six months ended June 30, 1998 represent
activity for 147 days, and no comparison of results to prior periods are
available.
Three Months Ended June 30, 1998
Net income attributable to common shareholders for the quarter ended June 30,
1998 totaled $6,081, or $.33 per share.
Rental revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 were $26,159, including
tenant reimbursements of $3,346. Total rental revenue of $20,506 was generated
by the 122 properties owned as of February 4, 1998 as a result of the Formation
Transactions (the Baseline Properties) and $5,653 was generated by the 49
properties acquired subsequent to February 4, 1998. The ratio of tenant
reimbursements to property operating and real estate tax expenses was
approximately 73%. Depreciation and amortization related to real estate
investments totaled $5,062 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998.
Interest and other income of $248 consists primarily of interest earned on the
Company's invested cash balances. Interest expense represents interest incurred
on $17,533 of mortgage indebtedness outstanding at June 30, 1998 and interest on
outstanding borrowings under the Company's Acquisition Facility, net of interest
capitalized to development projects.
Minority interest expense represents net income allocable to holders of
Operating Partnership Units. At June 30, 1998, the Company owned 42.7% of the
Operating Partnership; therefore, minority interest ownership was 57.3%.
10
<PAGE>
Six Months Ended June 30, 1998
Net income attributable to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30,
1998 totaled $9,559, or $.51 per share.
Rental revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $40,892, including
tenant reimbursements of $5,237. Total rental revenue of $33,262 was generated
by Baseline Properties and $7,630 was generated by the 49 properties acquired
subsequent to February 4, 1998. The ratio of tenant reimbursements to operating
and real estate tax expenses was approximately 72%. Depreciation and
amortization related to real estate investments totaled $8,236 for the six
months ended June 30, 1998.
Interest and other income included $561 of interest income, primarily consisting
of interest earned on the Company's invested cash balances. Interest expense
represents $450 of interest incurred on $17,533 of mortgage indebtedness
outstanding and also includes interest expense of $502 related to borrowings
under the Acquisition Facility, net of amounts capitalized to development
projects.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
As a result of the completion of the Offerings in February 1998, the Company
issued 8,625,000 Common Shares to the public and 1,000,000 Common Shares to a
group of investors in a private placement of shares. All of the Common Shares
were sold at a price of $20.00 per share. The proceeds from the Offerings, net
of offering costs, were $176,661.
The Company intends to rely on cash provided by operations, unsecured and
secured borrowings from institutional sources, and public debt as its primary
sources of funding for acquisition, development, expansion and renovation
of properties. The Company may also consider equity financing when such
financing is available on attractive terms. In March 1998 the Company executed
a $325 million unsecured revolving line of credit, which is the Acquisition
Facility, with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York as lead agent to a
syndicate of banks. The Acquisition Facility will be used to fund property
acquisitions, development activities, building expansions, tenant leasing costs
and other general corporate purposes. The Acquisition Facility contains certain
restrictions and requirements, such as total debt-to-assets, debt service
coverage, minimum unencumbered assets to unsecured debt ratios, and other
limitations. The Company believes cash flow from operations not distributed to
shareholders and unitholders will be sufficient to cover tenant allowances and
costs associated with renewal or replacement of current tenants as their leases
expire and recurring non-incremental revenue generating capital expenditures.
In the normal course of operations, the Company has purchased approximately $36
million of real estate assets subsequent to June 30, 1998, and has commitments
to purchase approximately $65 million of additional real estate assets. A
number of conditions must be met prior to closing. It is, therefore uncertain
all these assets will actually be purchased. The real estate assets acquired
were primarily funded through Acquisition Facility borrowings.
As of June 30, 1998, the Operating Partnership had $17.5 million of fixed rate
debt secured by properties, approximately $68 million of unsecured borrowings
under its Acquisition Facility and an 8.3% debt-to-total market capitalization
ratio. The debt-to-total market capitalization ratio is calculated based on the
Company's total consolidated debt as a percentage of the market value of
outstanding Common Shares and Units (not held by the Company) plus total debt.
The Company has entered into an interest rate collar arrangement relating to its
LIBOR-based Acquisition Facility for a notional amount of $65 million for the
period August 1, 1998 through December 31, 1998. The arrangement is intended to
result in limiting the LIBOR component of the Company's interest rate on an
equivalent amount of borrowings to the range of 5.64% to 5.9% per annum. The
Company has also entered into an interest rate hedge transaction involving the
notional future sale of $100 million of Treasury Securities based on the current
rate for such securities in anticipation of a future debt issuance.
The Company is in the process of assessing its Year 2000 readiness, determining
the extent of Year 2000 issues, and developing a Year 2000 remedial plan to
address identified issues. The Company expects such plan to be developed by the
end of 1998, and is currently not aware of any significant Year 2000 issues.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $5,386 at June 30, 1998. Cash provided by
operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $37,854.
