                         Report of Independent Auditors


Board of Trust Managers
American Industrial Properties REIT

We have audited the accompanying Combined Historical Summary of Gross Income and
Direct Operating Expenses (the "Combined Historical Summary") of the Spieker
Properties Portfolio, which is comprised of six industrial properties (the
"Properties"), as described in Note 1 for the year ended December 31, 1997. This
Combined Historical Summary is the responsibility of the Properties' management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this Combined Historical Summary
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 Combined Historical Summary is free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the Combined Historical Summary. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Combined
Historical Summary. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

In our opinion, the Combined Historical Summary has been prepared for the
purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Current Report on Form 8-K of American
Industrial Properties REIT, as described in Note 1, and is not intended to be a
complete presentation of the income and expenses of the Properties.

In our opinion, the Combined Historical Summary referred to above presents
fairly, in all material respects, the combined gross income and direct operating
expenses of the Spieker Properties Portfolio, as described in Note 1, for the
year ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

have been excluded. These costs are not considered to be direct operating
expenses.

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)

INTERIM UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The accompanying interim unaudited Combined Historical Summary has been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and was prepared on the same basis as the Combined Historical Summary for the
year ended December 31, 1997. In the opinion of management of the Properties,
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for
a fair presentation of the information for this interim period have been made.
The excess of combined gross income over direct operating expenses for such
interim period is not necessarily indicative of the excess of gross income over
direct operating expenses for the full year.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Properties' Combined Historical Summary in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts included in the
Combined Historical Summary and accompanying notes thereto. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis; as such, the rental
revenues for leases which contain rent abatements and contractual increases are
recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the related lease.
Property operating cost recoveries from tenants of common area maintenance, real
estate taxes and other recoverable costs, are recognized in the period when the
recoveries are earned.

CAPITALIZATION POLICY

Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements
and improvements are capitalized.

                         Report of Independent Auditors


Board of Trust Managers
American Industrial Properties REIT

We have audited the accompanying Historical Summary of Gross Income and Direct
Operating Expenses (the "Historical Summary") of North Austin Office Building
(the "Property"), as described in Note 1 for the year ended December 31, 1997.
This Historical Summary is the responsibility of the Property's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on this Historical Summary 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 Historical Summary is free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the Historical Summary. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Summary. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Historical Summary has been prepared for the purpose of complying with the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in
the Current Report on Form 8-K of American Industrial Properties REIT, as
described in Note 1 and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the
income and expenses of the Property.

In our opinion, the Historical Summary referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects, the gross income and direct operating expenses of North
Austin Office Building, as described in Note 1, for the year ended December 31,
1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   Notes to Historical Summary of Gross Income
                          and Direct Operating Expenses

                        Year Ended December 31, 1997 and
                  Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 (unaudited)


1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

North Austin Office Building (the "Property") is a commercial office building
containing approximately 260,000 square feet located in Austin, Texas. The
building was 98% occupied by five tenants, with one tenant occupying 44% of the
net rentable square feet at March 31, 1998. Under the terms of its lease, the
tenant is required to pay base rent of $92,805 per month until May 2007.

The accompanying Historical Summary has been prepared for the purpose of
complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission for inclusion in the Current Report on Form 8-K of American
Industrial Properties REIT. The Historical Summary is not intended to be a
complete presentation of income and expenses of the Property for the year ended
December 31, 1997, and the three months ended March 31, 1998, as certain costs
such as depreciation, amortization, interest, and other debt service costs have
been excluded. These costs are not considered to be direct operating expenses.
Additionally, income from the buy-out of a tenant's lease has been excluded, as
this income is not comparable to the future operations of the property.

INTERIM UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The accompanying interim unaudited Historical Summary has been prepared pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and was
prepared on the same basis as the Historical Summary for the year ended December
31, 1997. In the opinion of management of the Property, all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation of the information for this interim period have been made. The
excess of gross income over direct operating expenses for such interim period is
not necessarily indicative of the excess of gross income over direct operating
expenses for the full year.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Historical Summary in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

the reported amounts included in the Historical Summary and accompanying notes
thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis; as such, the rental
revenues for leases which contain rent abatements and contractual increases are
recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the related lease.
Property operating cost recoveries from tenants of common area maintenance, real
estate taxes and other recoverable costs are recognized in the period when the
recoveries are earned.

CAPITALIZATION POLICY

Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements
and improvements are capitalized.

3. MANAGEMENT FEES

The Property is managed by a third party. The management fee is 3.0% of gross
revenue collected.

4. OPERATING LEASES

The Property's minimum future rentals under operating leases as of December 31,
1997 are as follows:

(A)  Represents the historical results of operations of the Trust for the year
     ended December 31, 1997. Certain reclassifications have been made to the
     historical statements of operations of the Trust to conform to the pro
     forma financial information presentation. In addition, excludes gain on
     sale of real estate of $2,163 and extraordinary gain on extinguishment of
     debt of $2,643.

(B)  Represents adjustments for the 1997 Acquisitions, the 1997 Dispositions,
     and the 1998 Acquisitions.

(C)  Represents the combined historical results of operations of the RELPs
     acquired in connection with the Merger.

(D)  Represents adjustments (i) to eliminate the historical results of
     operations of a real estate property which, in conjunction with the Merger,
     was sold by the RELP to an affiliate, and (ii) to consolidate one real
     estate partnership that had been accounted by the RELP on the equity
     method.

(E)  Represents adjustments (i) resulting from the Merger, including adjustments
     to depreciation for the Trust's new basis and incremental general and
     administrative costs estimated to be incurred by the Trust as a result of
     the recent growth, and (ii) the elimination of non-recurring interest
     recorded by the Trust.

(F)  Represents adjustments for the acquisition of the Spieker Portfolio, based
     on historical operating results. Depreciation is based on the allocation of
     the purchase price, with buildings depreciated using the straight-line
     method over a 40 year period. Interest expense is based on the borrowings
     incurred at the related interest of 7.45% (the average 30-day LIBOR rate
     plus 1.75% during the year ended December 31, 1997).

(G)  Represents adjustments for the 1997 Acquisitions and the 1998 Acquisitions,
     based on historical operating results. Depreciation is based on the
     allocation of the purchase price, with buildings depreciated using the
     straight-line method over a 40 year period. Interest expense is based on
     the borrowings incurred at the related interest rates, which range from
     7.25% (fixed rate under mortgage notes payable) to 7.45% (the average
     30-day LIBOR rate plus 1.75% during the year ended December 31, 1997).

(H)  Represents adjustments to remove the historical results of operations of
     the 1997 Dispositions.

                                      F-17

(I)  Represents adjustments, based on historical operating results, for the
     investment in USAA Chelmsford Associates Joint Venture (the "Joint
     Venture"), accounted by the RELP on the equity method, which is
     consolidated by the Trust due to an amendment to the joint venture
     agreement subsequent to the Merger providing the Trust with control over
     the major decisions of the Joint Venture.

(J)  Represents adjustments to eliminate the historical results of operations of
     a real estate property which, in conjunction with the Merger, was sold by
     the RELP to an affiliate.

(K)  Represents adjustment to eliminate the equity in earnings of a joint
     venture. In connection with the Merger, the interest in the joint venture
     was sold by the RELP to an affiliate.

(L)  Represents adjustments to eliminate interest income as a result of cash
     distributions to the RELP limited partners prior to the Merger.

(M)  Represents adjustment to reduce the depreciation of real estate acquired in
     the Merger. This adjustment represents increased depreciation resulting
     from the allocation of purchase price, reduced by the use of a 40 year
     period by the Trust, rather than a 30 year period, as had been the practice
     by the RELPs.

(N)  Represents adjustment to eliminate interest expense accrued by the Trust
     related to the notes payable convertible into Common Shares of Beneficial
     Interest of the Trust (the "Common Shares"). The amount of non-recurring
     interest expense represents the difference between the market trading price
     of $11.88 per Common Share on February 26, 1997, the date of issuance of
     the modified notes, which contained the convertibility option, and the
     $10.00 conversion price.

(O)  The pro forma weighted average shares outstanding includes 9,817 Common
     Shares outstanding at December 31, 1997 and 1,376 Common Shares issued in
     February 1998. Diluted earnings per share are the same as basic earnings
     per share as the Trust has a loss from operations.

                       AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES REIT
            PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
                    For the Three Months Ended March 31, 1998
                      (In thousands, except per share data)
                                   (Unaudited)

(A)  Represents the historical results of operations of the Trust for the three
     months ended March 31, 1998. Certain reclassifications have been made to
     the historical statements of operations of the Trust to conform to the pro
     forma financial information presentation.

(B)  Represents adjustments for the 1998 Acquisitions, based on historical
     operating results. Depreciation is based on the allocation of the purchase
     price, with buildings depreciated using the straight-line method over a 40
     year period. Interest expense is based on the borrowings incurred at the
     related interest rates, which range from 7.28% (fixed rate under mortgage
     notes payable) to 7.44% (the average 30-day LIBOR rate plus 1.75% during
     the three months ended March 31, 1998).

(C)  Represents adjustments for the acquisition of the Spieker Portfolio, based
     on historical operating results. Depreciation is based on the allocation of
     the purchase price, with buildings depreciated using the straight-line
     method over a 40 year period. Interest expense is based on the borrowings
     incurred at the related interest rate of 7.44% (the average 30-day LIBOR
     rate plus 1.75% during the three months ended March 31, 1998).

(D)  The pro forma weighted average shares outstanding represents 11,193 Common
     Shares outstanding at March 31, 1998. Diluted earnings per share are the
     same as basic earnings per share as the outstanding options to acquire
     Common Shares have an exercise price greater than the average market price
     per Common Share during the period and, therefore, the effect would be
     anitdilutive.
