ITEM 2.     ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

      Sears Logistics Facility, Columbus, Ohio
      ----------------------------------------

      On September  30, 1996 Meridian  Industrial  Trust,  Inc. (the  "Company")
purchased a fee interest in a  distribution/warehouse  facility  located at 5330
Crosswind Drive, Columbus,  Ohio (the "Property"),  for a total acquisition cost
of $30,919,277,  paid entirely in cash. The Company funded the acquisition  from
its property  acquisition facility with The First National Bank of Boston, Texas
Commerce  Bank  National  Association,  and  NationsBank  of  Texas,  N.A.  (the
"Unsecured Credit  Facility").  The Property is located on approximately  57.413
acres of land in Franklin County, Ohio. The building  encompasses  approximately
1,014,592  square feet of rentable space and features 150  cross-docked  loading
docks with levelers and four drive-in doors.

      The Company  purchased the Property from OakRe Life Insurance  Company,  a
Missouri corporation (the "Seller"). No material relationship exists between the
Seller and the Company, any Company affiliate,  any Company director or officer,
or any associate of any such director or officer.

      The acquisition cost of $30,919,277  consisted of: (i) a contract purchase
price to the Seller of $30,864,555;  and (ii) estimated title insurance,  legal,
audit and miscellaneous  costs totalling $54,722.  The total acquisition cost is
subject to  adjustment  based  upon an  increase  or  decrease  in the  contract
purchase  price  resulting from a final  calculation  of costs  incurred  before
closing to improve the Property.

      The sole tenant occupying the Property is Sears Logistics Services,  Inc.,
a Delaware corporation ("Sears Logistics"), a warehousing and distribution firm.
The triple net lease (the "Lease") with Sears  Logistics has an expiration  date
of September 20, 2006, and the Lease provides for two five-year  renewal options
at market  rates.  The lease had been  assigned to Sears  Logistics  from Sears,
Roebuck and Co., a New York corporation ("Sears Roebuck"), an affiliate of Sears
Logistics.  Sears Roebuck  remains  liable for  performance  of all the tenant's
obligations under the Lease. At closing,  the annual rental rate under the Lease
was $2.75 per square foot.

      Before the  Company's  purchase,  the Seller held the  Property  for the
production of income as rental  property.  The Company  considers the Property
suitable for and intends to continue that use.

      In  determining  the amount of  consideration  paid for the Property,  the
Company considered (i) the Property's location,  age, operating expenses,  fixed
charges, physical condition,  projected future cash flow and gross rentals, (ii)
the  duration  and other terms of the Lease,  (iii) the  financial  and business
standing  of  Sears   Logistics  and  Sears  Roebuck,   and  (iv)  land  values.
Additionally,  the Company  analyzed  three  comparable  properties in the area,
taking  into  account  the  terms of the  leases on those  properties  and those
properties' occupancy rates, locations,  ages, and visibility.  The Company also
considered sales of comparable properties in the area and the anticipated future
level of repair costs,  maintenance  costs,  utility  costs,  and property taxes
associated with the Property.

PUBLIC OFFERING.

      On November 25, 1996, the Company closed on a public offering of 3,400,000

of Meridian  Industrial  Trust, Inc. (the "Company").  Our  responsibility is to

   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  is  free  of  material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the statement.  An audit also includes  assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,  as
well as evaluating the overall statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

   The  accompanying  combined  statement  of revenue and certain  expenses  was
prepared  for the  purpose of  complying  with Rule 3-14 of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission's  rules  and  regulations,  and  is not  intended  to be a
complete  presentation  of the  revenues  and  expenses  of the  Three  Acquired
Properties.

   In our opinion,  the combined statement referred to above presents fairly, in
all material  respects,  the revenues and certain expenses of the Three Acquired
Properties  for the year ended  December 31, 1995, in conformity  with generally
accepted accounting principles.

1.    PROPERTIES ACQUIRED.

      The combined  statements  of revenues and certain  expenses (see "Basis of
Presentation" below) include the combined operations of two operating properties
acquired  by Meridian  Industrial  Trust (the  "Company")  on March 29, 1996 and
September 30, 1996, and a third  property  which the Company  expects to acquire
prior to December  31,  1996  (collectively  referred to as "the Three  Acquired
Properties").

      At the time of the Crosswind Drive Facility acquisition,  expansion of the
existing facility by 301,950 square feet was substantially completed. The tenant
occupying the facility moved into the expansion  space on or about September 30,
1996.

2.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

      The  accompanying  statements  of revenues  and certain  expenses  are not
representative of the actual operations of the Three Acquired Properties for the
periods  presented.  Certain  expenses  may not be  comparable  to the  expenses
expected to be incurred by the Company in the proposed  operations  of the Three
Acquired  Properties;  however, the Company is not aware of any material factors
relating  to these  Three  Acquired  Properties  that would  cause the  reported
financial information not to be indicative of future operating results. Excluded
expenses consist primarily of interests  expense,  depreciation and amortization
and other  costs not  directly  related  to the future  operations  of the Three
Acquired Properties.

3.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

      (a)  REVENUE  RECOGNITION.   All  leases  are  classified  as  operating
leases,  and rental  revenue is recognized on a  straight-line  basis over the
terms of the leases.

      (b)  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 revenues and
expenses  during the reporting  period.  Actual  results could differ from these
estimates.

4.    LEASING ACTIVITY.

      The  minimum  future  rental  revenue due under  non-cancelable  operating
leases in effect as of October 1, 1996,  for the  remainder of 1996 and annually
thereafter are as follows:

        1996 (three months)              $1,299
        1997                              5,197

        Thereafter                       18,961
</TABLE>

      In  addition  to  minimum  rental  payments,  tenants  pay their  share of
specified operating expenses, which amounted to $737 for the period from January
1,  1996 to the  earlier  of the  date of  acquisition  or  September  30,  1996
(unaudited),  and $1,271 for the year ended  December 31, 1995.  Certain  leases
contain options to renew.

            PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                 (UNAUDITED, IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)

BACKGROUND

   The accompanying  unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as
of  September   30,  1996  has  been   prepared  to  reflect  (i)  the  Property
Transactions,  (ii) the completion of the Offering, and (iii) the paydown of the
Unsecured  Credit  Facility using the net proceeds from the Offering and cash on
hand,  as if such  transactions  and  adjustments  had occurred on September 30,
1996. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated  statements of
operations  have been  prepared  to reflect  (i) the  incremental  effect of the
Property Transactions and completed acquisitions, (ii) the incremental effect of
four property  dispositions  occurring  prior to September  30, 1996,  (iii) the
incremental  effects of the paydown of the Unsecured  Credit  Facility using the
net proceeds  from the  Company's  March 1996  offering of  1,500,000  shares of
Common Stock,  and (iv) the paydown of the  Unsecured  Credit  Facility  Paydown
using  the  net  proceeds  from  the  Offering  and  cash  on  hand,  as if such
transactions and adjustments had occurred on January 1, 1995.

   These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements should be read in
connection  with the  historical  as adjusted  financial  information  and notes
thereto included elsewhere in this report. In the opinion of management, the pro
forma condensed  consolidated financial information provides for all adjustments
necessary  to reflect the effects of the  Property  Transactions  and  completed
acquisitions,  property dispositions, March 1996 offering of 1,500,000 shares of
Common Stock, the Offering, and the paydown of the Unsecured Credit Facility.

   The pro forma  condensed  consolidated  information  is unaudited  and is not
necessarily  indicative of the consolidated  results that would have occurred if
the transactions and adjustments  reflected  therein had been consummated in the
period or on the date presented,  or on any particular  date in the future,  nor
does it purport to represent  the financial  position,  results of operations or
changes in cash flows for future periods.

                          (UNAUDITED, IN THOUSANDS)

(1)Reflects the historical  condensed  consolidated balance sheet of the Company
   as of September 30, 1996.

(2)Reflects  the purchase of five  properties  in  connection  with the Property
   Transactions  which  the  Company  either  is  currently  in the  process  of
   acquiring and that the Company's management deems probable of closing or have
   recently  closed.  Such  property   acquisitions   aggregate  to  a  cost  of
   approximately  $40,166.  The Company  expects  that these  acquisitions  will
   initially be funded with draws on its  Unsecured  Credit  Facility,  together
   with assumption of a mortgage in the amount of $5,758.

   Also,  reflects the completion of two build-to-suit  properties  currently in
   process (the Water's  Ridge Drive and Sarah Jane Parkway  properties),  at an
   aggregate  estimated cost to complete of approximately  $13,262.  The Company
   expects to fund the remaining  development  costs with  borrowings  under its
   Unsecured  Credit Facility and expects to complete the projects prior to year
   end.

(3)Reflects  completion  of the  Offering  comprising  the issuance of 3,400,000
   shares of the Company's Common Stock at an Offering price of $18.25 per share
   resulting in gross proceeds of $62,050. In connection with the Offering,  the
   Company will incur costs of approximately $4,332.

(4)Reflects the paydown of borrowings on the Unsecured  Credit Facility with the
   net proceeds from the Offering and cash on hand of approximately $122.

                             NOTES AND ADJUSTMENT TO
                PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
                  For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996
                      and the Year Ended December 31, 1995
                            (unaudited, in thousands)

   1.Reflects  the historical as adjusted  operations of the Company,  excluding
gains  and  losses  on sales of  properties  and  extraordinary  items.  See the
historical as adjusted condensed consolidated  statements of operations included
elsewhere in this report.

   2.Reflects the  incremental  effect (i.e., as if such activities had occurred
or been completed on January 1, 1995) of the completed  acquisitions  comprising
three  properties  acquired  prior  to  September  30,  1996  and  the  Property
Transactions  comprising,  (i)  five  properties  that  the  Company  either  is
currently in the process of acquiring  and that the Company's  management  deems
probable  of closing or have  closed and (ii)  completion  of two  build-to-suit
properties  currently in process.  Thus,  the  incremental  effect  reflects the
operations  prior to acquisition by the Company of the five acquired  properties
and the estimated revenues and expenses of the two build-to-suit properties. The
estimated  revenues of the two  build-to-suit  properties  are based upon signed
lease  agreements.  The incremental  depreciation and amortization is based upon
estimated asset lives of 35 years. The estimated incremental interest expense is
based  on pro  forma  borrowings  on the  Company's  Unsecured  Credit  Facility
consisting of (i)  approximately  $49,127 used to acquire three properties prior
to September 30, 1996, (ii) approximately  $34,408 that will be used to fund the
five properties that the Company currently is in the process of acquiring or has
acquired,  and  (iii)  approximately  $5,758  relating  to the  assumption  of a
mortgage  loan  bearing  a  fixed  interest  rate of 10% in  connection  with an
acquisition,  and (iv) approximately  $25,740 relating to development of the two
build-to-suit  properties (including approximately $13,262 of costs that will be
funded  subsequent to September 30, 1996). Each of the Unsecured Credit Facility
interest adjustments reflects an assumed interest rate of 7.1%.

   The following table sets forth the revenues and certain expenses of the above
mentioned  properties  for the period from January 1, 1996 to the earlier of the
date of  acquisition  or September 30, 1996 and for the year ended  December 31,
1995.

   3.Reflects  the  disposition of four  properties  during 1996 (one in May and
three in August).  The net proceeds from the sales  aggregated to  approximately
$7,769 and were used to repay  borrowings  under the Company's  Unsecured Credit
Facility. The net gain on the sales amounted to approximately $177.

   4.Reflects  the  incremental  effect of the Company's  March 1996 offering of
1,500,000 shares of Common Stock. The net proceeds of approximately  $23,200 and
cash on hand were used to repay pro forma borrowings on the Company's  Unsecured
Credit Facility of approximately  $26,505.  The estimated  interest reduction is
based upon an assumed interest rate of 7.1%.

   5.Reflects  the repayment of  approximately  $57,840 of pro forma  borrowings
under the  Company's  Unsecured  Credit  Facility with the net proceeds from the
Offering and cash on hand.  The  estimated  interest  reduction is based upon an
assumed interest rate of 7.1%. Also, reflects a reduction of the unused facility
fees on the Company's  Unsecured  Credit  Facility based upon a pro forma unused
facility of  approximately  $43,270 at 0.25%.  The  Company's  Unsecured  Credit
Facility  bears a variable rate of interest at LIBOR plus 1.70%.  An increase or
decrease of 0.125% (1/8%) in LIBOR will result in an annual increase or decrease
in pro forma interest expense of $43.

   6.Pro forma taxable income for the twelve months ended  September 30, 1996 is
approximately $15,001.

           HISTORICAL AS ADJUSTED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                  (unaudited, in thousands, except share data)

Background

The  accompanying   unaudited  historical  as  adjusted  condensed  consolidated
statements  of operations  for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 and for
the year ended December 31, 1995 has been prepared to reflect (i) the respective
historical results of Meridian Point Realty Trust IV Co. ("Trust IV"),  Meridian
Point Realty Trust VI Co.  ("Trust VI"), and Meridian Point Realty Trust VII Co.
("Trust  VII")  (collectively  referred  to as  the  "Merged  Trusts")  and  the
properties  acquired from Meridian Point Realty Trust '83 (the "Asset Purchase")
for the respective periods;  (ii) the incremental effects of the merger of Trust
IV, Trust VI and Trust VII into the Company (the  "Merger"),  the  retirement of
certain  indebtedness  using  the  net  proceeds  from a  private  placement  of
preferred  stock  and the  availability  of funds  under  the  Unsecured  Credit
Facility  (the  "Refinancing"),  and the closing of the  transactions  under the
stock purchase  agreements the Company had with Hunt Realty  Acquisitions,  L.P.
and USAA Real Estate Company (the  "Recapitalization") on the historical results
of the Merged Trusts and the Asset Purchase; and (iii) the historical results of
the Company;  to reflect the  post-Merger  operations  of the Company as if such
transactions and adjustments had occurred on January 1, 1995. The Merger,  Asset
Purchase and Refinancing  each closed  concurrently on February 23, 1996. In the
opinion  of  management,  the  historical  as  adjusted  condensed  consolidated
financial  information  provides  for all  adjustments  necessary to reflect the
effects  of  the  Merger,  the  Asset  Purchase,   the   Recapitalization,   the
Refinancing,  and the disposition and acquisition of certain  properties  during
1995.

   The historical as adjusted condensed  consolidated  financial  information is
unaudited and is not  necessarily  indicative of the  consolidated  results that
would have occurred if the transactions  reflected  therein had been consummated
in the period  presented,  or on any particular date in the future,  nor does it
purport to represent the financial position, results of operations or changes in
cash flows for future periods.

                         MERIDIAN INDUSTRIAL TRUST, INC.

                     NOTES AND ADJUSTMENTS TO HISTORICAL AS ADJUSTED
                 CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
                      FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
                            (UNAUDITED, IN THOUSANDS)

   1.Reflects  the  historical  operations  of the  Company  for the period from
inception (May 18, 1995) to December 31, 1995.

   2.Reflects the Merged Trusts historical  combined statement of operations for
the year ended December 31, 1995.

   3.Reflects  the   incremental   effect  on  operations  from  the  July  1995
disposition  of the Paradise  Marketplace  resulting in a net increase in income
from operations of $1,280 (such increase in net income is primarily attributable
to the  historical as adjusted  elimination of the provision for decrease in net
realizable   value   recorded  in  1995  prior  to  the  sale  of  the  Paradise
Marketplace).  Proceeds from the sale of the Paradise  Marketplace  were used to
pay down the  long-term  debt  facilities,  resulting  in a decrease in interest
expense of $207.  Also reflects the  incremental  effect of the November 8, 1995
acquisition  of the Olive  Branch  Distribution  Center  which  results in a net
increase in income from operations of $110 representing the estimated results of
operations prior to acquisition.  The Company owns the adjacent property,  Olive
Branch,  which is occupied by the same tenant.  The estimated revenues are based
upon the executed lease agreement that provides for monthly base rent of $70 and
reimbursement of operating expenses, estimated to be approximately $5 per month.
Estimated annual operating  expenses of $58,  including  repairs and maintenance
and  management  fees, are based on the actual  operating  costs at the adjacent
Olive Branch Property. The adjustments relating to the Olive Branch Distribution
Center also reflect  estimated  interest expense of $414 relating to interest on
the $6,700 bridge loan used to purchase the property, at LIBOR plus 2.00% (7.72%
at December 31, 1995),  and  amortization  of loan fees of $29 over the one year
term of the bridge loan. The estimated  depreciation  and  amortization  expense
relating  to the Olive  Branch  Distribution  Center  has been  calculated  on a
straight line basis using an average useful life of 35 years.

   4.Reflects  the  Recapitalization  of the  Merged  Trusts  on May  31,  1995,
involving  respective equity  investments by Hunt and USAA in the Merged Trusts.
The net proceeds from these equity  investments of $24,684 and available cash of
$2,233  were used to pay down  principal  and  restructure  the  Merged  Trusts'
variable rate and fixed rate long-term  debt  facilities by $10,588 and $16,329,
respectively.  Accordingly, the historical as adjusted consolidated statement of
operations  reflects a net reduction of interest for the period prior to the May
31, 1995 Recapitalization date comprised of the following:

                                                                  Year Ended
                                                                December 31,
                                                                     1995
                                                                ------------

Reduction resulting from pay downs of variable rate facility
of $10,588 at 7.56% for 1995                                         $ (333)
Reduction resulting from pay downs of fixed rate facility of           
$16,329at 8.33% for 1995                                               (567)
Reduction resulting from other pay downs of $1,405 at 13.00%            
for 1995                                                                (76)
Reduction resulting from write-off of old loan fees                    (336)
Increase resulting from interest rate increase on variable
 rate facility based upon balance of $26,505 at an incremental                                                
 increase of 0.60% for 1995                                              67
Increase resulting from interest rate increase on fixed rate
 facility based upon $66,094 at an incremental increase                 
 of 0.41% for 1995                                                      113
New loan fee amortization                                               108
Net reduction                                                       $(1,024)


   As a result of the above  adjustments,  the historical as adjusted  condensed
consolidated  statement of operations  reflects interest expense on the variable
rate  long-term  debt  facility  and the fixed  rate  facility,  based  upon the
remaining  balance  after the paydowns,  at the interest  rates in effect at the
date of  Recapitalization  of 8.19%  and  8.63%,  respectively.  Trust IV had an
interest  rate cap agreement  which caps the one month LIBOR at 4.50%.  The rate
cap is based upon  $18,620 for the period July 1, 1995 to December  31, 1995 and
upon $11,170 for the period from January 1, 1996 through its  expiration on June
28, 1996. The agreement provides for payments to Trust IV to the extent that the
one month LIBOR exceeds 4.5%. The agreement was  transferred to the Company upon
completion of the Merger. For the year ended December 31, 1995 Trust IV received
$377 under the interest rate cap agreement.

   5.Reflects  the  effects of  purchase  accounting  as a result of the Merger,
together with certain cost adjustments, which result in a decrease in historical
as adjusted  interest  income due to lower cash balances to be maintained by the
Company than  historically  maintained by the Merged  Trusts,  and a decrease in
historical as adjusted expenses for the year ended December 31, 1995 as follows:
(i) a reduction of  depreciation  expense of $4,141  resulting from the purchase
accounting to record the Merger (historical as adjusted depreciation expense has
been calculated on a straight line basis using average useful lives of 35 years)
