                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS






To Meridian Industrial Trust, Inc.:

     We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses
of the 5141 E. Santa Ana Property, as defined in Note 1, for the year ended
December 31, 1997.  This financial statement is the responsibility of the
management of the Company.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this
financial 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 financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

     The accompanying 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 5141 E. Santa Ana Property.

     In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents 
fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses of the 
5141 E. Santa Ana Property for the year ended December 31, 1997, in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

               NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES OF
        THE 5141 E. SANTA ANA PROPERTY FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
                AND THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 (UNAUDITED)
                                    (IN THOUSANDS)


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

     PROPERTY ACQUIRED

     The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses include the
     operations (see "Basis of Presentation" below) of the 5141 E. Santa Ana
     Property (the "Property"), an industrial property located in Los Angeles,
     California acquired by Meridian Industrial Trust, Inc. (the "Company") in
     April 2, 1998.

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses are not
     representative of the actual operations of the Property for the periods
     presented.  Certain expenses may not be comparable to the expenses expected
     to be incurred by the Company in the proposed future operations of the
     Property; however, the Company is not aware of any material factors
     relating to the Property that would cause the reported financial
     information not to be indicative of future operating results.

     The property is subject to a single tenant, triple net lease.  As a result,
     the tenant directly pays all recurring operating expenses including
     maintenance, utilities and landscaping, as well as real estate taxes.  The
     Property pays only insurance and management fees directly.  Other excluded
     expenses consist primarily of interest expense, depreciation and
     amortization, and other costs not directly related to the future operations
     of the Property.  The Company has reported real estate taxes on a
     "grossed-up" basis consistent with the method it uses for its own reporting
     purposes.

     The financial information presented for the three months ended March 31,
     1998 is not audited.  In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial
     information contains all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
     accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the statements of revenues
     and certain expenses for the Property.

     REVENUE RECOGNITION

     The lease is classified as an operating lease, and rental revenues is
     recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

<PAGE>

     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.
     Actual results may differ from these estimates.

2.   LEASING ACTIVITY:

     Future minimum rental revenues under the noncancellable operating lease
     agreement in effect at April 1, 1998 and annually thereafter are as
     follows (in thousands):

                2002                                         1,112

     No expenses were reimbursed to the Property since the tenant has paid all
     expenses directly.

                     (UNAUDITED, IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)


BACKGROUND

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance 
sheet as of March 31, 1998 has been prepared to reflect (i) the acquisition 
costs of properties acquired by Meridian Industrial Trust, Inc. (the 
"Company") from April 1, 1998 to June 30, 1998 which were funded from draws 
made on its Unsecured Credit Facility, (ii) the divestiture of properties 
from April 1, 1998 to June 30, 1998, (iii) the completion of a public 
offering of 2,000,000 shares of 8.75% Series D Cumulative Redeemable 
Preferred Stock which was consummated by the Company on June 30, 1998 
("Preferred Stock Offering"), and (iv) the paydown of the Unsecured Credit 
Facility using the net proceeds from the Divestitures and Preferred Stock 
Offering, as if such transactions and adjustments had occurred on March 31, 
1998.

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and for the year ended
December 31, 1997 have been prepared to reflect (i) the incremental effect of
properties acquired from January 1, 1998 to June 30, 1998 ("Acquisitions"), (ii)
the incremental effect of properties divested from January 1, 1998 to June 30,
1998 ("Divestitures") and the paydown of the Unsecured Credit Facility using the
net proceeds received, and (iii) the incremental effect of the Preferred Stock
Offering and the paydown of the Unsecured Credit Facility using the net proceeds
received, as if such transactions and adjustments had occurred on January 1,
1997.  In addition, the accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated statement
of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 reflects acquisitions,
divestitures and certain other transactions as further described in the
accompanying footnotes.

     These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements should be read
in connection with the respective historical financial information and notes
thereto contained in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997.  In the opinion of management, the pro forma condensed
consolidated financial information provides for all adjustments necessary to
reflect the effects of the Acquisitions, Divestitures, Preferred Stock Offering,
and the paydown of the Unsecured Credit Facility.

     The pro forma condensed consolidated statements and notes thereto are
unaudited and are not necessarily indicative of the actual 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.

                    PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET
                                 AS OF MARCH 31, 1998
                     (UNAUDITED, IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)


(1)  Reflects the historical condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company
     as of March 31, 1998.

(2)  Reflects the acquisition of fourteen properties by the Company either
     directly or through one of its consolidated partnerships which were
     consummated from April 1, 1998 to June 30, 1998.  Five of the properties
     were acquired through a property for property swap transaction.  The 
     properties acquired were funded with: (i) funds released from an escrow
     account amounting to $4,228, (ii) draws on its Unsecured Credit Facility,
     (iii) the assumption of a mortgage note payable in the principal amount of
     $3,921, and (iv) cash on hand.  In connection with the acquisition of
     properties relating to the consolidated partnerships, the Company's
     minority partners contribution amounted to $2,090.  The Company also bought
     out a minority partner in a partnership who had a capital balance of $637.

     In addition, the Company through an unconsolidated subsidiary, Meridian
     Refrigerated, Inc. ("MRI"), purchased in June 1998 all the stock of a 
     company that owned three cold storage facilities located in Texas and 
     Florida.  The Company provided MRI with additional funding aggregating 
     to $23,825 comprising secured and unsecured notes receivable totaling 
     $15,358 and $3,167, respectively, and non-voting participating preferred 
     stock.  The Company owns all of the non-voting participating preferred
     stock of MRI and accounts for its investment using the equity method.  The
     additional investment in MRI by the Company was funded with a draw on its
     Unsecured Credit Facility.

(3)  Reflects the divestiture of four properties subsequent to April 1, 1998. 
     The San Carlos property located in California was sold for $10,200, of 
     which $8,000 was received in the form of a note receivable.  The note 
     receivable earns interest at 8.5% per annum, matures on May 1, 2007, and 
     requires interest only payments.  After closing costs and pro rated items, 
     the net cash proceeds amounting to $1,923 were used to paydown borrowings 
     on the Unsecured Credit Facility.

     Three properties located in Memphis, Tennessee with net book values of 
     $6,149 were divested in conjunction with a property for property swap 
     transaction subsequent to April 1, 1998.

(4)  Reflects the completion by the Company of a public offering of 2,000,000
     shares of Series D Preferred Stock at an offering price of $25.00 per 
     share resulting in gross proceeds of $50,000.  The Series D Preferred 
     Stock has an aggregate liquidation preference of $50,000 and accrues
     dividends at a rate of 8.75% per annum based upon the liquidation
     preference.  In connection with the Series D Preferred Stock Offering,
     the Company incurred costs of $1,875.  The net cash proceeds of $48,125
     were used to paydown borrowings on the Unsecured Credit Facility.

     The Acquisitions were funded with: (i) funds released from an escrow 
     account amounting to $4,228, (ii) draws on its Unsecured Credit Facility,
     (iii) the assumption of mortgage notes payable in the principal amount of
     $21,389, and (iv) cash on hand.  

    The adjustments to the pro forma interest expense for the three months
    ended March 31, 1998 are based upon the Company's pro forma debt balance 
    as of March 31, 1998 as follows:

     The estimated incremental income from unconsolidated subsidiaries was based
     on (i) pro forma equity losses from MRI totaling $26, (ii) secured loans
     extended to MRI totaling $29,758 ($14,400 in February and $15,358 in June)
     accruing interest at 9% per annum, and (iii) unsecured loans extended to 
     MRI totaling $5,567 ($2,400 in February and $3,167 in June) accruing 
     interest at 10% per annum.  The incremental interest income accrued by the 
     Company on the secured and unsecured loans extended to MRI amounted to $525
     and $114, respectively.

(3)  Reflects the divestiture of two properties in February and May, 
     respectively, and three properties, through a property for property swap 
     transaction which occurred in June.  The net proceeds from the sales 
     aggregated to $3,693 and were used to repay borrowings under the Unsecured 
     Credit Facility.  In connection with the sale of the San Carlos property, 
     the Company received a note receivable in the principal amount of $8,000.  
     The note receivable accrues interest at 8.5% per annum, requires monthly 
     payments of interest only, and matures on May 1, 2007.  

(4)  Reflects the incremental effect of the Company's Preferred Stock Offering 
     of 2,000,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock.  The net proceeds of
     approximately $48,125 were used to repay pro forma borrowings on the
     Company's Unsecured Facility.  The estimated interest reduction was based
     upon an assumed rate of 7.01% per annum.

(5)  Basic earnings per share is computed as net income or loss allocable to
     common divided by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock
     outstanding, excluding the dilutive effects of stock options and other
     potentially dilutive securities.

     Dilutive earnings per share is computed as net income or loss allocable to
     common divided by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock
     outstanding, plus the dilutive effect of stock options and other
     potentially dilutive securities.
     
     The Company understands that the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock 
     intend to convert their shares into Common Stock. Accordingly, the pro 
     forma financial statements assume the conversion of all of the outstanding
     2,272,727 shares of Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock on a 
     one-for-one basis.  The dividends to the Series B Preferred stockholders
     were therefore eliminated in the calculation of net income allocable to 
     common in the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.

(6)  Pro forma taxable income for the twelve months ended March 31, 1998 is
     approximately $43,840.

    (A) On a historical basis, the Company's net income allocable to common was
        $19,870.  Basic and diluted earnings per share was $1.12 and $1.09,
        respectively, based on weighted average common shares outstanding of
        17,791,304 and 18,264,459, respectively.

    (B) In 1997, the Company entered into five separate agreements with 
        different institutional sellers and acquired a total of 95 industrial 
        properties and a secured participating mortgage loan.  The purchase 
        price aggregated to $360,803, including a participating loan which was 
        purchased for $21,500.  The portfolio acquisitions were funded with 
        (i) the issuance of 16,277,554 shares of the Company's Common Stock, 
        (ii) borrowings on its Unsecured Credit Facility, and (iii) cash on 
        hand.

        In addition to the portfolio acquisitions, during 1997, the Company 
        purchased thirteen properties.  The aggregate purchase price for these 
        properties totaled $90,401.  The acquisitions were funded with 
        (i) borrowings on its Unsecured Credit Facility, (ii) assumption of 
        mortgage notes totaling $16,153, (iii) proceeds from the issuance of 
        414,508 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an offering price of 
        $24.125 per share, and (iv) cash on hand.

        During 1997, the Company issued unsecured senior notes in two tranches,
        $135,000 maturing on November 20, 2007, bearing an interest rate of
        7.25% per annum, and $25,000 maturing on November 20, 2009, bearing an
        interest rate of 7.30% per annum.  The proceeds from the unsecured
        senior notes were used to repay the above borrowings made on the
        Unsecured Credit Facility to fund property acquisitions.

    The adjustments to the unadjusted 1997 pro forma interest expense are based
upon the Company's unadjusted pro forma debt balance as of December 31, 1997 as
follows:

    (C) During 1997, the Company sold five properties for an aggregate sales
        price of $11,833.  After closing costs and pro-rated items which totaled
        $638, the Company received net proceeds from the property sales
        aggregating to $11,195 which were used to repay borrowings on the
        Unsecured Credit Facility.

(2) Reflects the incremental effect (i.e. as if such activities had occurred or
    been completed on January 1, 1997) of completed property acquisitions by the
    Company during 1998, either directly or through one of its consolidated
    partnerships.  The incremental depreciation and amortization is based upon
    estimated useful lives of 35 years.

    The following table sets forth the revenues and expenses of the Acquisitions
    for the year ended December 31, 1997:

   Pro forma interest expense for the year ended Dec. 31, 1997            $ 23,782
                                                                          ---------

    The estimated incremental income from unconsolidated subsidiary was based 
    on (i) pro forma equity losses from MRI totaling $57, (ii) secured loans 
    extended to MRI totaling $29,758 accruing interest at 9% per annum, and 
    (iii) unsecured loans extended to MRI totaling $5,567 accruing interest 
    at 10% per annum.  The incremental interest income accrued by the Company 
    on the secured and unsecured loans extended to MRI amounted to $2,708 and 
    $572, respectively.

(3) Reflects the divestiture of five properties during 1998, three of which 
    were through a property for property swap transaction.  The net proceeds 
    from the sales aggregated to $3,693 and were used to repay borrowings 
    under the Unsecured Credit Facility.  In connection with the sale of 
    the San Carlos property, the Company received a note receivable in the 
    principal amount of $8,000.  The note receivable accrues interest at 8.5% 
    per annum, requires monthly payments of interest only, and matures on 
    May 1, 2007. No gain or loss on divestiture was recognized in connection 
    with the property swap transaction.

(4) Reflects the incremental effect of the Company's Preferred Stock Offering 
    of 2,000,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock.  The net proceeds of 
    approximately $48,125 were used to repay pro forma borrowings on the 
    Company's Unsecured Facility.  The estimated interest reduction was based 
    upon an assumed rate of 7.33% per annum.

(5) Basic earnings per share is computed as net income or loss allocable to
    common divided by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock
    outstanding, excluding the dilutive effects of stock options and other
    potentially dilutive securities.

    Dilutive earnings per share is computed as net income or loss allocable 
    to Series B preferred and common divided by the weighted average number 
    of shares of Common Stock outstanding, plus the dilutive effect of stock 
    options and other potentially dilutive securities.

    The Company understands that the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock 
    intend to convert their shares into Common Stock. Accordingly, the pro 
    forma financial statements assume the conversion of all of the outstanding 
    2,272,727 shares of Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock on a 
    one-for-one basis. The dividends to the Series B Preferred stockholders were
    therefore eliminated in the calculation of net income allocable to common 
    in the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.

(6) Pro forma taxable income for the year ended December 31, 1997 is 
    approximately $37,845.
