ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     On September 24, 1997 (the "Closing Date"), Meridian Industrial Trust, Inc.
(the "Company") acquired a portfolio of forty-four industrial buildings
containing an aggregate of approximately 3,538,000 square feet of rentable space
(the "Portfolio Properties").  The Portfolio Properties are located in the
metropolitan areas of Detroit, Michigan (approximately 457,000 sq. ft.),
Houston, Texas (approximately 684,000 sq. ft.), Pompano Beach, Florida
(approximately 219,000 sq. ft.), Dallas, Texas (approximately 569,000 sq. ft.),
Richmond, Virginia (approximately 146,000 sq. ft.), Compton, California
(approximately 1,070,000 sq. ft.), and Ontario, California (approximately
393,000 sq. ft.).

     The Company purchased the Portfolio Properties from The Prudential
Insurance Company of America ("Prudential") and two of  its affiliates, Pru-Oma
Joint Venture and One Federal Street Joint Venture (Prudential and those two
affiliates are collectively referred to below as the "Sellers").  The aggregate
contract purchase price for the Portfolio Properties was $127,078,526.  The
Company also paid approximately $180,000.00 for owner's title insurance policy
premiums, $330,000.00 for transfer and documentary stamp taxes, and $4,000.00
for escrow, recording, and incidental closing fees.  In addition, the Company
reimbursed Prudential on the Closing Date for approximately $534,000 of pre-
closing leasing expenses and for approximately $57,000 of Phase I environmental
report costs.

     In determining the amount of consideration paid for the Portfolio
Properties, the Company considered such factors as the historical and expected
cash flows of the properties, the nature of the tenancies and terms of the
leases in place, occupancy rates, opportunities for alternative and new
tenancies, current operating costs, physical condition and location, building
design, the anticipated impact of the acquisition on the Company's financial
results, and capitalization rates at which it believed other comparable
properties recently had sold.  The Company's analysis focused primarily on the
properties' expected future cash flows, their location (both by market and
within markets), and building design (e.g., such features as clear height, truck
turning radii, and cross docking capabilities).

     The Company funded the costs of this acquisition from a combination of (i)
proceeds from borrowings under its unsecured credit facility with a group of
lending banks and (ii) proceeds from the sale of Company common stock to
Prudential and three accounts managed by Prudential.  Before the closing, the
Sellers held the Portfolio Properties for the production of

income as rental property, and the Company considers the Portfolio Properties
suitable for and intends to continue that use. Until the Closing Date, no
material relationship existed between the Sellers and the Company, any Company
affiliate, any Company director or officer, or any associate of any such
director or officer.

     In connection with the Company's agreement to acquire the Portfolio
Properties, the Company also contracted with Prudential to purchase five
unimproved parcels of land.  Three of these parcels are located in the Ontario,
California, metropolitan area, and the other two are in the metropolitan areas
of Chicago, Illinois, and Detroit, Michigan.  The contract price for these five
parcels is $13,720,726.00.  The Company's obligation to purchase these parcels,
and any adjustments to the purchase prices thereof, will be established
following determination of the amount of developable land in, and any
restrictions limiting development of, each of those parcels.

     In connection with the Company's agreement to acquire the Portfolio
Properties, the Company also contracted with Prudential and One Federal Street
Joint Venture (the "New Orleans/Jacksonville Sellers") to purchase eight
industrial buildings located in the metropolitan area of New Orleans, Louisiana
and five industrial buildings located in the metropolitan area of Jacksonville,
Florida (collectively, the "EastGroup Properties") for a total purchase price of
$49,709,846.00.  Pursuant to agreements between the Company, the New
Orleans/Jacksonville Sellers, and EastGroup Properties, L.P. ("EastGroup"), the
Company directed the New Orleans/Jacksonville Sellers to convey the EastGroup
Properties directly to EastGroup on the Closing Date.  Accordingly, the Company
did not acquire title to the EastGroup Properties.  The purchase price paid by
EastGroup to the New Orleans/Jacksonville Sellers for the EastGroup Properties
was $49,709,846.00 and was financed in part by a loan from the Company to
EastGroup in the amount of $45,000,000.00 (the "EastGroup Loan").  The EastGroup
Loan is secured by the EastGroup Properties, requires monthly, interest-only
payments computed on the basis of an annual rate of 9.25%, and matures on
December 31, 1997. The Company paid approximately $100,000 of Florida mortgage
taxes related to the EastGroup Loan; all other closing costs associated with
EastGroup's acquisition of the EastGroup Properties and with the EastGroup Loan
were paid by either EastGroup or the New Orleans/Jacksonville Sellers.  No
material relationship exists between EastGroup  and the Company, any Company
affiliate, any Company director or officer, or any associate of any such
director or officer.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
                                           

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Meridian Industrial Trust, Inc.:

     We have audited the accompanying combined statement of revenues and certain
expenses for the Prudential Property Transaction as defined in Note 1, for the
year ended December 31, 1996. This statement is the responsibility of the
management of Meridian Industrial Trust, Inc. ("the Company"). Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on this combined statement 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 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 revenues 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 Prudential Property
Transaction. 

     In our opinion, the combined statement referred to above presents fairly,
in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses of the Prudential
Property Transaction for the year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                           NOTES TO THE COMBINED STATEMENTS
                           OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
                       FOR THE PRUDENTIAL PROPERTY TRANSACTION
                  FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 (UNAUDITED)
                       AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
                                (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
                                           
1. PROPERTIES ACQUIRED.

    The combined statements of revenues and certain expenses (see "Basis of
Presentation" below) include the combined operations of 29 properties
(comprising 57 warehouse/industrial buildings) and 179 acres of land
(collectively the "Prudential Properties") which will be acquired by Meridian
Industrial Trust, Inc. (the "Company") from The Prudential Insurance Company of
America and certain affiliated entities (collectively, "Prudential"). The
Company and Prudential entered into seven separate purchase and sale agreements
on May 27, 1997 (the "Prudential Property Transaction") that provide for an
estimated closing date of August, 1997.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

    The accompanying combined statements of revenues and certain expenses are
not representative of the actual operations of the Prudential Properties for the
periods presented. Certain expenses may not be comparable to the expenses
expected to be incurred by the Company in the proposed operation of the
Prudential Properties; however, the Company is not aware of any material factors
relating to the Prudential Properties that would cause the reported financial
information not to be indicative of future operating results. Expenses reflected
in property operating and maintenance expenses include utilities, insurance,
landscaping and maintenance and repairs. Excluded expenses consist primarily of
interest expense, depreciation and amortization and other costs not directly
related to the future operations of the Prudential Properties. In addition, the
statements exclude capitalizable carrying and other costs related to the
179 acres of land being acquired.

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. No individual leases represent greater than 10% of revenues.

    (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 revenues due under non-cancelable operating
leases in effect as of June 30, 1997, for the remainder of 1997 and annually
thereafter are as follows: 

YEAR                                            AMOUNT
- - ----                                            ------

1998 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .     14,286
1999 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .     10,869

    In addition to minimum rental payments, certain tenants pay reimbursements
for their pro rata share of specified operating expenses, which amounted to
$1,514 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 (unaudited), and $3,196 for the
year ended December 31, 1996. Certain leases contain options to renew. 

5.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    During 1996, Prudential utilized PREMISYS, an affiliate of Prudential, as
its property management company. PREMISYS provided accounting and management
services for the Prudential Properties. Total management fees paid were $257 and
$532 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 (unaudited) and year ended
December 31, 1996, respectively, which are reflected within property operating
and maintenance expenses on the accompanying statements of revenues and certain
expenses.

                (unaudited, dollars in thousands, except share data) 
                                           
1.  Reflects the historical as adjusted condensed consolidated balance sheet of
    the Company as of June 30, 1997.  See the historical as adjusted condensed
    consolidated balance sheet included elsewhere in this report. 

2.  Reflects the Prudential Property Transaction comprising seven separate
    agreements for the purchase of 29 properties comprising 57
    warehouse/industrial buildings and five unimproved parcels comprising 179
    acres of land under development for a total purchase price $196,200 that,
    together with estimated acquisition costs of $2,108, results in total
    capitalized costs of $198,308.  The contract price for the five unimproved
    parcels of land under development total $13,721 and the Company's
    obligation to purchase these land parcels was be established following
    determination of the amount of developable land in, and any restrictions
    limiting development of, each of those parcels. The estimated acquisition
    costs include the Company's reimbursement to Prudential for certain costs
    incurred by Prudential estimated at $422.  The Prudential Property
    Transaction purchase price was financed by the issuance of 7,096,513 shares
    of the Company's Common Stock valued at $140,000, borrowings on its
    Unsecured Credit Facility of approximately $56,200 and accrued costs of
    $2,108.  The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company
    was calculated on the basis of 96% of the average closing price of the
    Company's Common Stock for the five business days prior to the date on
    which the Company and Prudential entered into a letter of intent regarding
    the Prudential Stock Transaction, resulting in a value per share of
    $19.728.

3.  Reflects the Ameritech Transaction comprising the purchase of 22 warehouse/
    industrial properties and a participating mortgage secured by a
    seven-building warehouse industrial project for a total purchase price of
    $145,520 that, together with estimated acquisition costs of $2,295 results
    in total capitalized costs of $147,815.  The Ameritech Transaction purchase
    price was financed by the issuance of 7,314,026 shares of the Company's
    Common Stock valued at $145,520 and accrued costs of $2,295. The number of
    shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company was determined by
    valuing such shares at 96% of the average of the closing prices of the
    Company's Common Stock for the 10 business days prior to May 13, 1997 (the
    date that the Company and Ameritech entered into a letter of intent
    regarding the Ameritech Transaction), resulting in a value per share of
    $19.896.

4.  Concurrent with the closing of the Prudential Property Transaction, eight 
    industrial properties located in the metropolitan area of New Orleans, 
    Louisiana and five industrial properties located in the metropolitan area 
    of Jacksonville, Florida were directly conveyed in a simultaneous sale by 
    the Company to EastGroup for a total sales price of $49,710.  EastGroup's 
    consideration for the EastGroup Properties was cash of $4,710 (applied to 
    paydown the Unsecured Credit Facility) and a mortgage note in favor of 
    the Company in the amount of $45,000.  The mortage note receivable is 
    secured by the EastGroup Properties, requires monthly, interest-only 
    payments computed on the basis of an annual interest rate of 9.25%, and 
    matures on December 31, 1997.  The EastGroup Properties were conveyed at 
    the Company's cost of such properties resulting in no gain or loss upon 
    sale.

1.  Reflects the historical as adjusted operations of the Company. See the
    historical as adjusted condensed consolidated statements of operations
    included elsewhere in this report. 

2.  Reflects the incremental revenues and expenses resulting from the
    Prudential Property Transaction comprising seven separate agreements for
    the purchase of 29 properties comprising 57 warehouse/industrial buildings
    and 179 acres of land for a total purchase price $196,200 that, together
    with estimated acquisition costs of $2,108, results in total capitalized
    costs of $198,308.  The Prudential Property Transaction purchase price was
    be financed by the issuance of 7,096,513 shares of the Company's Common
    Stock valued at $140,000, borrowings on its Unsecured Credit Facility of
    $56,200 and accrued costs of $2,108. The incremental revenues and expenses
    reflect the historical operations attributable to the properties acquired
    in connection with the Prudential Property Transaction for the six months
    ended June 30, 1997 and year ended December 31, 1996. Such historical
    results have been adjusted to reflect straight-line rents, interest expense
    and depreciation and amortization as if such transactions had occurred on
    January 1, 1996. Of the $198,308 purchase price related to the Prudential
    Property Transaction, approximately $147,286 is the depreciable basis
    allocated to buildings. Depreciation and amortization of the operating
    properties in the Prudential Property Transaction has been calculated on a
    straight-line basis using average useful lives of 35 years.  The estimated
    general and administrative expenses relate to additional payroll and
    related costs that the Company expects to incur in the ongoing management
    of the properties in the Prudential Property Transaction.  The Company's
    Unsecured Credit Facility bears variable interest at LIBOR plus 1.40% and
    unused facility fees of .25%. 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 approximately $210. Estimated interest expense on pro forma
    borrowings on the Company's Unsecured Credit Facility resulting from the
    Prudential Property Transaction is based upon average actual LIBOR rates of
    5.61% and 5.45%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and
    the year ended December 31, 1996, as detailed in the following table.

3.  Reflects the incremental revenues and expenses resulting from the Ameritech
    Transaction comprising the purchase of 22 warehouse/industrial properties
    and a participating mortgage secured by a seven-building industrial project
    for a total purchase price of $145,520 that, together with estimated
    acquisition costs of $2,295 results in total capitalized costs of $147,815.
    The Ameritech Transaction purchase price was financed by the issuance of
    7,314,026 shares of the Company's Common Stock valued at $145,520 and
    accrued costs of $2,295. The incremental revenues and expenses reflect the
    historical operations attributable to the properties acquired in connection
    with the Ameritech Transaction for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and
    year ended December 31, 1996. Such historical results have been adjusted to
    reflect straight-line rents, interest expense and depreciation and
    amortization as if such transactions had occurred on January 1, 1996. Of
    the $147,815 purchase price related to the Ameritech Transaction,
    approximately $118,252 is the depreciable basis allocated to buildings.
    Depreciation and amortization of the properties in the Ameritech
    Transaction has been calculated on a straight-line basis using average
    useful asset lives of 35 years. The estimated general and administrative
    expenses relate to additional payroll and related costs that the Company
    expects to incur in the ongoing management of the properties in the
    Ameritech Transaction. 

4.  Concurrent with the closing of the Prudential Property Transaction, eight 
    industrial properties located in the metropolitan area of New Orleans, 
    Louisiana and five industrial properties located in the metropolitan area 
    of Jacksonville, Florida were directly conveyed in a simultaneous sale by 
    the Company to EastGroup for a total sales price of $49,710.  EastGroup's 
    consideration for the EastGroup Properties was cash of $4,710 (applied to 
    paydown the Unsecured Credit Facility) and a mortgage note in favor of 
    the Company in the amount of $45,000.  The mortage note recievable is 
    secured by the EastGroup Properties, requires monthly, interest-only 
    payments computed on the basis of an annual interest rate of 9.25%, and 
    matures on December 31, 1997.  The pro forma adjustments for the Property 
    Conveyances Transaction reflect the elimination of the operating results 
    of the EastGroup Properties, a reduction in interest expense reflecting 
    the paydown of the Unsecured Credit Facility using the cash proceeds from 
    the sale and recognition of the interest income on the mortgage note 
    receivable from EastGroup.

5.  Reflects the net increase in interest expense associated with the September
    23, 1997 amendment and restatement of the Unsecured Credit Facility which
    provided for the following:  (i) an increase of the borrowing limit from
    $150,000 to $250,000 (resulting in increased amortization of loan
    commitment fees amounting to $108 and $216 for the six months ended June
    30, 1997 and year ended December 31, 1996, respectively) and (ii) a
    decrease in the interest rate spread over LIBOR from 1.40% to 1.30%
    (resulting in reduced interest expense amounting to $53 and $105 for the
    six months ended June 30, 1997 and year ended December 31, 1996,
    respectively).

6.  Per share amounts reflect approximately 1,915,820 shares to be issued for
    the Portfolio Acquisitions, and the dilutive effects of stock options
    granted by the Company to its directors and officers pursuant to its stock
    plan, warrants issued in connection with the Merger and shares to be issued
    pursuant to a stock option agreement with one of its stockholders,
    aggregating to 501,039 and 371,069 additional shares of common stock for
    the six months ended June 30, 1997 and year ended December 31, 1996,
    respectively. 

7.  Pro Forma taxable income for the twelve months ended June 30, 1997 is
    approximately $33 million.

BACKGROUND

     The accompanying unaudited historical as adjusted condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of June 30, 1997 has been prepared to reflect (i) the
post-June 30, 1997 acquisition of three operating properties and development of
properties under construction, (ii) the completed acquisition in 1997 of a
portfolio comprising seven warehouse/industrial properties and the acquisition
of another portfolio comprising five warehouse/industrial (collectively referred
to as the "Portfolio Acquisitions"), as if such transactions had occurred on
June 30, 1997. 

     The historical as adjusted condensed consolidated statement of operations
information for the six months ended June 30, 1997 has been prepared to reflect
(i) the incremental effect of the nine individual properties acquired during
1997 (the "1997 Individual Acquired Properties"), (ii) the incremental effect of
the Portfolio Acquisitions, (iii) the incremental effect of properties sold
during 1997 (the "1997 Property Sales"), and (iv) the April 1997 restructuring
(the "April 1997 Restructing") of the Company's revolving bank credit agreement
(the "Unsecured Credit Facility"), as if such transactions had occurred on
January 1, 1996. 

     The historical as adjusted condensed consolidated statement of operations
for the year ended December 31, 1996 has been prepared to reflect (i) the
incremental effect of the 1997 Individual Acquired Properties and properties
acquired by the Company during 1996 (collectively, the "1996 and 1997 Acquired
Properties"); (ii) the incremental effect of the Portfolio Acquisitions,
(iii) the incremental effect of the 1997 Property Sales and those properties
sold by the Company during 1996 (collectively, the "1996 and 1997 Property
Sales"); (iv) the incremental effect of debt paydowns during 1996 with the
proceeds from the Company's two 1996 Common Stock offerings (the "1996
Offerings"); (v) the April 1997 Restructuring; (vi) the respective historical
results of the three companies (the "Merged Trusts") that were merged into the
Company on February 23, 1996 (the "Merger") and the acquisition of certain net
assets (the assets acquired and the transaction are referred to herein as the
"Trust '83 Properties" and the "Asset Purchase", respectively) that occurred
concurrent with the Merger for the period from January 1, 1996 to February 23,
1996 (i.e., prior to the Merger and Asset Purchase); and (vii) the respective
effects of the Merger and the retirement of certain indebtedness concurrent with
the Merger using the net proceeds from the issuance of the Company's preferred
stock and the availability of the Unsecured Credit Facility (referred to
collectively as the "Refinancing") on the historical results of the Merged
Trusts and the Trust '83 Properties for the period from January 1, 1996 to
February 23, 1996; to reflect the post-Merger activities of the Company as if
such transactions had occurred on January 1, 1996.  The Merger, Asset Purchase
and Refinancing each closed concurrently on February 23, 1996. 

     These unaudited historical as adjusted condensed consolidated statements
should be read in connection with the respective historical financial statements
and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.  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, Asset Purchase, Refinancing, the 1996 and 1997 Acquired Properties, the
1996 and 1997 Property Sales, the 1996 Offerings, and the April 1997
Restructuring. 

     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.

                           NOTES TO HISTORICAL AS ADJUSTED
                    CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
                        FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
                 (UNAUDITED, DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)
                                           
1.  Reflects the historical condensed consolidated statement of operations of
    Company for the six months ended June 30, 1997. 

2.  Reflects the incremental effect on the Company's operations of the 1997
    Individual Acquired Properties comprising nine properties that the Company
    acquired during 1997 as if the properties had been acquired January 1,
    1996.  Also, reflects the capitalization of interest on the Development
    Properties.  Depreciation expense on the 1997 Acquired Properties has been
    calculated on a straight-line basis using average useful lives of 35 years.
    The incremental effect on revenues from the 1997 Individual Acquired
    Properties reflects the incremental revenues from property purchases
    consummated during 1997 comprising the historical operating results of four
    property acquisitions, as well as five additional properties purchased
    during the period, each of which have been adjusted for the straight-line
    rent effect as if such properties had been acquired by the Company on
    January 1, 1996. The 1997 Acquired Properties and the development of
    properties under construction were funded by the assumption of two separate
    mortgage loans in combined principal amount of $16,414 and a weighted
    average interest rate of 8.02%, with the balance funded by draws on the
    Unsecured Credit Facility.  A summary of the interest adjustment components
    relating to the 1997 Acquired Properties and development of properties
    under construction is as follows: 


       Mortgages assumed in combined principal amount of $16,414 and
        a weighted average interest rate of 8.02%. . . . . . . . . .   $  614

       Unsecured Credit Facility borrowings at a pre-restructuring
        rate of LIBOR plus 1.7% or 7.19%, net of reduced unused
        facility fees of .25%. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .    1.655
                                                                       -------
       Total adjustment. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .   $2,269
                                                                       -------
                                                                       -------

3.  Reflects the incremental revenues and expenses resulting from the 
    Portfolio Acquisitions comprising the purchase of seven 
    warehouse/industrial properties and of two part folios consisting of five 
    warehouse/industrial properties, respectively.  The total purchase price 
    of $64,430 for the Portfolio Acquisitions together with estimated closing 
    costs of $575 results in total capitalized costs of $65,005. The 
    Portfolio Acquisitions purchase price will be financed by the issuance of 
    approximately 1,915,820 shares of the Company's Common Stock valued at 
    $38,585, with the balance of the purchase price and acquisition costs 
    funded by borrowings on the Company's Unsecured Credit Facility in the 
    amount of $26,420. Depreciation and amortization of the properties in the 
    Portfolio Acquisitions has been calculated on a straight line basis and 
    is based upon estimated asset lives of 35 years and a depreciable basis 
    of approximately $52,004. Estimated interest expense on as adjusted 
    borrowings on the Company's Unsecured Credit Facility resulting from the 
    Portfolio Acquisitions is based upon variable interest at LIBOR plus 
    1.70% or 7.15% (average actual LIBOR rates of 5.49% for the six months 
    ended June 30, 1997) and amounts to approximately $950. An increase or 
    decrease of 0.125% ( 1 8%) in LIBOR will result in a six month increase 
    or decrease in historical as adjusted interest expense of approximately 
    $70. 

4.  Reflects the elimination of the effects on the Company's operations from
    the 1997 Property Sales.  The 1997 Property Sales result in a net loss on
    sale of $448 and comprise five property sales.  The 1997 Property Sales
    result in net proceeds to the Company of $11,368 which are reflected as
    paydowns on the Unsecured Credit Facility, resulting in a reduction in
    interest expense on the Unsecured Credit Facility of $290.

5.  Reflects the net reduction in interest as a result of the April 1997
    Restructuring.  The April 1997 Restructuring provided for: (i) an increase
    of the borrowing limit to $150,000 (previously $75,000), (ii) a decrease in
    the interest rate spread over LIBOR to 1.40% (previously LIBOR plus 1.70%),
    and (iii) an extension of the maturity date to April 3, 2000 (previously
    February 26, 1998).  In connection with the April 1997 Restructuring, the
    Company recognized an extraordinary loss of approximately $808 comprising
    (i) the write-off of previously deferred financing fees related to the old
    facility of approximately $283 and (ii) fees paid to the lenders of
    approximately $525.  In addition, the Company incurred and recorded as
    deferred financing fees other financing costs relating to the April 1997
    Restructuring of approximately $200.  The net reduction in interest expense
    for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as a result of the April 1997
    Restructuring comprises the following: 


       Reduction of interest rate from LIBOR plus 1.70% to LIBOR
        plus 1.40% (based upon historical as adjusted outstanding
        principal of $111,920) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .    $(168)

       Reduction in loan fee amortization due to write-off of
        previously capitalized loan fees . . . . . . . . . . . . . .     (182)

       Amortization of loan fees on restructured facility. . . . . .       34

3.   Represents the historical condensed consolidated statement of operations of
     the Company for the year ended December 31, 1996. Prior to February 23,
     1996, the Company had no operations other than interest on its investments
     and general and administrative expenses.

4.   Reflects the incremental effect on the Company's operations of the 1996 and
     1997 Individual Acquired Properties comprising eight separate property
     purchases in 1996 and nine separate property purchases in 1997.
     Depreciation expense on the 1996 and 1997 Individual Acquired Properties
     has been calculated on a straight-line basis using average useful lives of
     35 years. The incremental effect on revenues from the 1996 and 1997
     Individual Acquired Properties (the "Post-Merger Individual Acquisitions")
     reflects incremental revenues from property purchases consummated during
     1996 and 1997 comprising the historical operating results of four property
     acquisitions, as well as thirteen additional properties purchased  during
     the period, each of which have been adjusted for the straight-line rent
     effect as if such properties had been acquired by the Company on January 1,
     1996. The 1996 and 1997 Individual Acquired Properties and the Company's
     development activities were funded by the assumption of two separate
     mortgage loans in combined principal amount of $16,414 and a weighted
     average interest rate of 8.02%, with the balance funded by draws on the
     Unsecured Credit Facility. A summary of the interest adjustment components
     relating to the 1996 and 1997 Acquired Properties and development
     activities is as follows:


     Mortgages assumed in combined principal amount of $16,414 and
       a weighted average interest rate of 8.02% . . . . . . . . . . .   $1,321
     Unsecured Credit Facility borrowings at a pre-restructuring
       rate of LIBOR plus 1.7% or 7.19%, net of reduced unused
       facility fees of .25% . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .   12,422

     Total adjustment. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  $12,809
                                                                        -------
                                                                        -------

5.   Reflects the incremental revenues and expenses resulting from the Portfolio
     Acquisitions comprising the purchase of seven warehouse/industrial
     properties and five warehouse/industrial properties, respectively. The
     total purchase price of $64,430 for the Portfolio Acquisitions together
     with estimated closing costs of $575 results in total capitalized costs of
     $65,005. The Portfolio Acquisitions purchase price will be financed by the
     issuance of approximately 1,195,820 shares of the Company's Common Stock
     valued at $38,585, with the balance of the purchase price and acquisition
     costs funded by borrowings on the Company's Unsecured Credit Facility in
     the amount of $26,420. Depreciation and amortization of the properties in
     the Portfolio Acquisitions has been calculated on a straight-line basis and
     is based upon estimated assets lives of 35 years and a depreciable basis of
     approximately $52,004. Estimated interest expense on as adjusted borrowings
     on the Company's Unsecured Credit Facility resulting from the Portfolio
     Acquisitions is based upon variable interest at LIBOR plus 1.70% or 7.15%
     (average actual LIBOR rates of 5.45% for the year ended December 31, 1996)
     and amounts to approximately $1,889. An increase or decrease of 0.125%
     (1/8%) in LIBOR will result in an annual increase or decrease in historical
     as adjusted interest expense of approximately $140.

6.   Reflects the elimination of the effects on the Company's operations from
     the 1996 and 1997 Property Sales. Property sales in 1996 comprised 14
     properties which, after closing costs, escrow holdback, early release of
     funds and pro-rated items totaling $1,975, resulted in net proceeds to the
     Company totaling $31,447 which were used to pay down borrowings on the
     Unsecured Credit Facility. The Company recorded a gain on sale of $3,313 in
     connection with the property sales occurring in 1996. The 1997 Property
     Sales result in a net loss on sale of $448 and comprise five property sales
     during the six months ended June 30, 1997. The 1997 Property Sales result
     in net proceeds to the Company of $11,368 which are reflected as paydowns
     on the Unsecured Credit Facility. The 1996 and 1997 Property Sales result
     in adjustment to the 1996 historical interest expense of $2,773 as a result
     of reduced principal outstanding on the Unsecured Credit Facility.


<PAGE>

7.   Reflects the total reduction to the historically reported interest expense
     of the Merged Trusts and the Company as a result of the 1996 Offerings
     comprising (i) the incremental effect of the Company's issuance of
     1,500,000 shares of Common Stock that closed on April 3, 1996 (the "April
     Offering") providing net proceeds of approximately $23,200 that, together
     with cash on hand were used to repay as adjusted borrowings on the
     Company's Unsecured Credit Facility of approximately $26,505, and (ii) the
     incremental effect of the Company's issuance of 3,910,000 shares of Common
     Stock (3,400,000 shares initially issued on November 25, 1996 and 510,000
     shares issued on December 23, 1996, collectively referred to as the "Second
     Offering"), resulting in net proceeds of $67,480 applied to repay as
     adjusted borrowing on the Unsecured Credit Facility. The estimated interest
     reduction total of $4,713 is based upon the pre-restructuring interest rate
     of LIBOR plus 1.7% (7.15%), unused credit facility fees of .25%, and
     reflects interest reduction attributable to the April Offering as $482 and
     the Second Offering as $4,231, respectively.

8.   Reflects the net reduction in interest as a result of the April 1997
     Restructuring. The April 1997 Restructuring provided for: (i) an increase
     of the borrowing limit to $150,000 (previously $75,000), (ii) a decrease in
     the interest rate spread over LIBOR to 1.40% (previously LIBOR plus 1.70%),
     and (iii) an extension of the maturity date to April 3, 2000 (previously
     February 26, 1998). In connection with the April 1997 Restructuring, the
     Company recognized an extraordinary loss of approximately $808 comprising
     (i) the write-off of previously deferred financing fees related to the old
     facility of approximately $283 and (ii) fees paid to the lenders of
     approximately $525. In addition, the Company incurred and recorded as
     deferred financing fees other financing costs relating to the April 1997
     Restructuring of approximately $200. The net reduction in interest expense
     for the year ended December 31, 1996 as a result of the April 1997
     Restructuring comprises the following:

     Reduction of interest rate from LIBOR plus 1.70% to LIBOR
       plus 1.40% (based upon historical as adjusted outstanding
       principal of $111,920). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .    $(336)
