                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To Meridian Industrial Trust, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying combined statement of revenues and certain
expenses of the Pizzuti Portfolio, as defined in Note 1, for the year ended
December 31, 1997.  This financial statement is the responsibility of the
management of Meridian Industrial Trust, Inc.  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 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 Pizzuti Portfolio.

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

                     NOTES TO COMBINED STATEMENTS OF REVENUE AND
                      CERTAIN EXPENSES OF THE PIZZUTI PORTFOLIO
                 DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 (UNAUDITED)



1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
     ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PORTFOLIO ACQUIRED

The accompanying combined statements of revenues and certain expenses include
the operations (see "Basis of Presentation" below) of the Pizzuti Portfolio (the
"Pizzuti Portfolio") acquired by Meridian Industrial Trust, Inc. (the Company)
on October 30, 1998.  The Pizzuti Portfolio consists of the following
properties:

  -  Canal Pointe Development--placed in service on December 1, 1996

  -  Carrier Corporation--placed in service on March 1, 1998

  -  Valley Records--placed in service on May 1, 1998

  -  MicroCenter--placed in service on August 4, 1998

As of October 30, 1998 all of the acquired properties were 100% occupied.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying combined statements of revenues and certain expenses are not
representative of the actual operations of the Pizzuti Portfolio 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 Pizzuti
Portfolio; however, the Company is not aware of any material factors relating to
the Pizzuti Portfolio that would cause the reported financial information not to
be indicative of future operating results. 

The properties are all subject to single-tenant, triple-net leases.  As a
result, the tenant directly pays all recurring operating expenses, including
insurance, maintenance, utilities, and landscaping.  The Pizzuti Portfolio pays
only management fees and real estate taxes.  Excluded expenses consist primarily
of interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and other costs not directly
related to the future operations of the Pizzuti Portfolio.

The financial information presented for the nine months ended September 30,
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 combined statements of revenues and
certain expenses of the Pizzuti Portfolio.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

All leases are classified as operating leases, and rental revenue is recognized
over the terms of the leases.

<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 noncancelable operating lease agreements in
effect at October 1, 1998, and annually thereafter are as follows:

All leases are triple-net leases whereby the individual tenants are responsible
for all expenses and obligations relating to the respective property.  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, 1998 has been prepared to reflect the acquisition costs of
properties acquired by Meridian Industrial Trust, Inc. (the "Company") from
October 1, 1998 to December 4, 1998.  These acquisitions were funded from draws
made on the Company's unsecured credit facility (the "Unsecured Credit
Facility") and an additional borrowing under a mortgage note payable.

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 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 December 4, 1998 ("Acquisitions"),
(ii) the incremental effect of properties divested from January 1, 1998 to
December 4, 1998 ("Divestitures") and (iii) adjustments to interest expense
resulting from the paydown of the Unsecured Credit Facility using the net
proceeds received from a preferred stock offering in June, 1998 and a direct
placement of 850,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (collectively, the
"Stock Offerings"), additional borrowings on the Unsecured Credit Facility to
fund the acquisitions referred to above and the additional borrowing under a
mortgage note payable 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 nine
months ended September 30, 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, Stock Offerings,
additions to, and the paydown of, the Unsecured Credit Facility and an
additional borrowing under a mortgage note payable.

     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.

(3)  Reflects the divestiture of seven properties during 1998, three of which
     were through a property-for-property swap transaction.  The net proceeds
     from the remaining divestitures aggregated to $23,297 and were used to

     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

(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 13 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)

     per annum, and $25,000 maturing on November 20, 2009, bearing an interest
