CENTERPOINT PROPERTIES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of CenterPoint Properties
Corporation, a Maryland Corporation (the "Company"), have been prepared
pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and
regulations and should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 1996,
Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K.
The following Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements highlight
significant changes to the Notes included in the December 31, 1996, audited
Financial Statements and present interim disclosures as required by the SEC.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim
financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring
nature. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996, has been
derived from the Company's audited Financial Statements.
The consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flows for
prior periods have been reclassified to conform with current classifications
with no effect on results of operations or cash flows.
1. PREFERRED STOCK, COMMON STOCK AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Under the terms of the Company's 1995 Restricted Stock Incentive Plan,
adopted in 1995, certain key employees were granted 12,444 restricted
shares of the Company's common stock in March, 1997. Shares were awarded
in the name of each of the participants, who have all the rights of other
common stockholders, subject to certain restrictions and forfeiture
provisions. Restrictions on the shares expire no more than eight years
after the date of award, or earlier if certain performance targets are met.
Unearned compensation was recorded at the date of award based on the market
value of the shares. Unearned compensation, which is shown as a separate
component of stockholders' equity, is being amortized to expense over the
eight year vesting period.
Under the terms of Company's 1993 Stock Option Plan, options for 226,769
shares of common stock were granted in March, 1997 at $31.50 per share.
During the first quarter of 1997, 8,624 option were exercised.
On March 6, 1997, the Company completed a public offering of 2,250,000
shares of common stock at $31.50 per share under a shelf registration
statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission in
January, 1997. Net proceeds from the offering after the underwriting
discounts were approximately
5
<PAGE>
$67.2 million. The proceeds of the offering were used to refund
approximately $58.2 million then outstanding under the Company's
line of credit with the balance of $9.0 million to fund working
capital requirements.
Income per share amounts are based on the weighted average of common and
common equivalent (stock options) shares outstanding of 17,623,852 and
12,875,142 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The assumed conversion of convertible subordinated
debentures into common shares for purposes of computing fully diluted
earnings per share would be anti-dilutive.
In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Standards No. 128 (FAS 128), "Earnings per Share",
effective for financial statements issued after December 15, 1997. The
Company intends to adopt FAS 128 in fiscal year 1997. The Company has
determined the financial impact to be immaterial for each of the three
month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.
2. ACQUISITION OF REAL ESTATE
In January, 1997, the Company acquired a 300,000 square foot industrial
property located in Waukegan, Illinois for approximately $6.4 million,
which was funded with an advance from the Company's line of credit of $5.1
million and the balance from working capital.
3. DISPOSITION OF MORTGAGE NOTE RECEIVABLE
In March, 1997, the company assigned its $4.8 million mortgage note
receivable, collateralized by a property in Bedford Park, Illinois, for a
net fee of $176,000.
4. INVESTMENT IN AND ADVANCES TO AFFILIATE
The Company holds approximately 99% of the economic interest in CenterPoint
Realty Services Corporation ("CRS"). To maintain compliance with
limitations on income from business activities received by REITs and their
qualified REIT subsidiaries, the Company holds its interest in CRS in the
form of non-voting equity ownership which qualifies as an unconsolidated
taxable subsidiary.
As of March 31, 1997, the Company had advanced to CRS approximately $12.3
million under a demand loan with an interest rate of 8.125%. The proceeds
of the loan were applied towards development projects currently under
construction and the purchase of land held for future development.
Principal and interest are due upon demand.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Company is
involved in legal actions relating to the ownership and operations of its
properties. In management's opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may
ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a
materially adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results
of operations and liquidity of the Company.
The Company has entered into other contracts for the acquisition of
properties. Each acquisition is subject to satisfactory completion of due
diligence and, in the case of development projects, completion and
occupancy of the project.
At March 31, 1997, ten of the properties owned are subject to purchase
options held by certain tenants. The purchase options are exercisable at
various intervals through 2006, each for an amount greater than the net
book value of the asset. The option to purchase 655 Wheat Lane, Wood Dale,
IL, was exercised by the tenant who will purchase the property in May, 1997
for a purchase price of $1,730,211. Management is not currently aware of
planned exercises of other such options and believes that any potential
exercises would not materially affect the results or prospects of the
Company.

<PAGE>
7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In April, 1997 a 243,350 square foot industrial property was purchased in
West Allis, Wisconsin for approximately $4.7 million. The acquisition was
funded with an advance on the Company's line of credit.
Since March 31, 1997, an additional $80,000 of convertible subordinated
debentures have been converted to 4,383 shares of common stock. As of
April 30, 1997, the principal amount of convertible subordinated debentures
outstanding is $12,055,000.
8. PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Due to the effect of the July, 1996 public offering, the March, 1997 public
offering and subsequent acquisitions and dispositions of properties, the
historical results are not indicative of the future results of operations.
The following unaudited pro forma information for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996 is presented as if the 1996 acquisitions and
dispositions of properties, the 1997 acquisition of a property, the July,
1996 public offering, the March, 1997 public offering and the
corresponding repayment of certain debt had all occurred on January 1, 1996
(or on the date the property first commenced operations with a third party
tenant, if later). The pro forma information is based upon historical
information and does not purport to present what actual results would have
been had the offering and related transactions, in fact, occurred at
January 1, 1996, or to project results for any future period.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 1996 COMPARED WITH 1995:
GENERAL BACKGROUND
The following is a discussion of the historical operating results of the
Company. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K
filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1996.
Total revenues in the first three months of 1997 increased by $5.8 million
or 41.7% over the same period last year. The revenues of the Company are
derived primarily from base rents and additional rents from expense
reimbursements, pursuant to the terms of tenant leases for occupied space
at the warehouse/industrial properties. Warehouse/industrial properties
represent approximately 96% of the gross leasable area of the Company's
portfolio as of March 31, 1997.
Rental revenues increased by $6.3 million in 1997. Full period income from
properties acquired in 1996 and one acquisition in 1997 accounted for all
of the increase. In addition, mortgage interest income, which began in
late 1995, contributed $0.4 million in increased revenue. Real estate fee
income primarily consisting of fees earned by the Company in connection
with its build-to-suit and development activities and third party
management fees decreased by $0.9 million.
On a "same-store" basis (comparing the results of operations, on a cash
basis, of the properties owned at March 31, 1996, with the results of
operations of the same properties at March 31, 1997), the Company
recognized a 1.9 % increase in net operating income primarily due to lease
up of vacant space, rental increases on renewed leases and contractual
increases in minimum rent under leases in place.
Total operating expenses, excluding general and administrative, interest,
depreciation and amortization, increased by $3.0 million, from $4.3 million
in 1996 to $7.3 million in 1997. Of the increase, $1.8 million is due to
real estate taxes. The majority of the increase, $1.5 million, resulted
from 1996 and 1997 acquisitions and the balance, $0.3 million, from tax
increases throughout the portfolio. Insurance, utilities and property
operating and leasing expenses, all components of operating expenses,
increased at levels comparable to the level of acquisitions.
9
<PAGE>
Depreciation and other amortization increased by $0.8 million, from $2.4
million in 1996 to $3.2 million in 1997. The increase is due to full
period depreciation on acquisitions completed during 1996 and 1997 of $0.7
million with the balance attributable to building improvements in 1996 and
year to date in 1997.
Interest incurred increased by only $0.1 million over the same period last
year. Continued low average loan balances and reduced borrowing rates have
contributed to interest expense remaining low.
Amortization of deferred financing costs decreased by $0.1 million due to
replacement of secured debt with unsecured debt during the fourth quarter
of 1996.
As a result of the factors described above, net income increased by $2.1
million from $3.6 million for the first three months of 1996 to $5.7
million for the first three months of 1997, an increase of 56.4%.
Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization for
the three months increased by $2.8 million, from $8.9 million in 1996 to
$11.7 million in 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash flow generated from Company operations has historically been utilized
for working capital purposes and making distributions, while proceeds from
financings and capital raises have been used to fund acquisitions and other
capital costs. For the three months ended March 31, 1997, cash flow from
operations was $4.6 million. Increases in tenant accounts receivable of
$2.3 million and reductions in accounts payable and accrued expenses of
$2.6 million reduced operating cash flow due to the timing of the Company's
receipt and disbursement of funds. Cash flow during that period
contributed to payment of $7.1 million of current year distributions.
Acquisitions, construction in progress, improvements and additions to
properties and advances to affiliate to fund its current development
activity of approximately $21.2 million for the three months were funded
with borrowings under the Company's lines of credit totaling $19.6 million
and with a portion of the net proceeds of the March 6, 1997 public offering
of common stock.
At March 31, 1997, the Company's debt constitutes approximately 17% of its
fully diluted market capitalization. At that date, the Company's fully
diluted equity market capitalization was approximately $602 million, and
its fully diluted total market capitalization was approximately $714
million. The Company's leverage ratios benefited in the first three months
of 1997 from the conversion of approximately $2.2 million of its 8.22%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures, due 2004, to 122,998 shares of common
stock.
As of March 31, 1997, the Company had outstanding borrowings of
approximately $7.5 million from its unsecured line of credit (approximately
1.0% of the Company's fully diluted market capitalization), and the Company
had remaining availability of approximately $127.5
10
<PAGE>
million under its line of credit. As of March 31, 1997, the Company's
line of credit consists of a $135 million unsecured credit facility co-led
by First Chicago NBD and Lehman Brothers with participating banks including
ABN LaSalle, Bank of America, Bank of Boston and NationsBank.
On March 6, 1997, the Company completed a public offering of 2,250,000
shares of common stock at $31.50 per share. Net proceeds from the
offering, after the underwriting discounts, were approximately $67.2
million. The proceeds of the offering were used to repay approximately
$58.2 million then outstanding under the Company's line of credit with the
balance of $9.0 million to fund working capital requirements. The public
offering left the entire amount on the Company's line of credit available.
As of March 31, 1997, the Company had a cash balance of $6.6 million. The
Company obtained an advance of $5.0 million late in March to fund an
acquisition which was delayed until early April causing a higher than
normal cash balance at the end of the quarter. In addition, the Company
held restricted cash of $0.4 million representing tenants' escrow and
security deposits. The Company believes that its liquidity is adequate for
operations and that positive cash flow from operations, as supplemented by
proceeds of borrowings under its line of credit and other financings, will
be adequate to fund the Company's acquisition activities and allow
distributions to the Company's stockholders in accordance with the
requirements for qualification as a REIT.
In the first quarter of 1997, the Company declared and paid distributions
of $7.1 million, representing an annualized distribution rate of
approximately $1.68 per share. The following factors, among others, will
affect the future availability of funds for distribution: (i) scheduled
increases in base rents under existing leases and (ii) changes in minimum
base rents attributable to replacement of existing leases with new or
replacement leases.
