FIRST INDUSTRIAL, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(In thousands except Unit and per Unit data)
1. Organization and Formation of Partnership
First Industrial, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) was organized as a limited partnership in the state of Delaware on November 23, 1993. The sole general partner is First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) which owns common units in the Operating Partnership (“Units”) representing an approximate 94.3% common ownership interest at June 30, 2011. The Company also owns a preferred general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership represented by preferred Units (“Preferred Units”) with an aggregate liquidation priority of $275,000 at June 30, 2011. The Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). The Company’s operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership owned, in the aggregate, approximately a 5.7% interest in the Operating Partnership at June 30, 2011. Unless the context otherwise requires, the term “Operating Partnership” refers to First Industrial, L.P. and the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to First Industrial, L.P. and its controlled subsidiaries.
We also own noncontrolling equity interests in, and provide various services to, two joint ventures (the “2003 Net Lease Joint Venture” and the “2007 Europe Joint Venture”). During 2010, we provided various services to, and ultimately disposed of our equity interests in, five joint ventures (the “2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture,” the “2005 Core Joint Venture,” the “2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program,” the “2006 Land/Development Joint Venture,” and the “2007 Canada Joint Venture;” together with the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture and the 2007 Europe Joint Venture, the “Joint Ventures”). The 2007 Europe Joint Venture does not own any properties. See Note 5 for more information on the Joint Ventures.
The Operating Partnership is the sole member of several limited liability companies (the “L.L.C.s”). The Operating Partnership, the L.L.C.s, FRIP and the taxable REIT subsidiaries are referred to as the “Consolidated Operating Partnership.” The operating data of the L.L.C.s, FRIP and the taxable REIT subsidiaries are consolidated with that of the Operating Partnership as presented herein. The Operating Partnership also holds at least a 99% limited partnership interest in each of eight limited partnerships (together, the “Other Real Estate Partnerships”).
The general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships are separate corporations, each with at least a .01% general partnership interest in the Other Real Estate Partnership for which it acts as a general partner. Each general partner of the Other Real Estate Partnerships is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
As of June 30, 2011, we owned 691 industrial properties located in 27 states in the United States and one province in Canada, containing an aggregate of approximately 60.5 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”). On a combined basis, as of June 30, 2011, the Other Real Estate Partnerships owned 68 industrial properties containing an aggregate of approximately 7.7 million square feet of GLA.
The Other Real Estate Partnerships and the Joint Ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the operating data of the Other Real Estate Partnerships and the Joint Ventures are not consolidated with that of the Consolidated Operating Partnership as presented herein.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (“2010 Form 10-K”) and should be read in conjunction with such financial statements and related notes. The 2010 year end consolidated balance sheet data included in this Form 10-Q filing was derived from the audited financial statements in our 2010 Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The following notes to these interim financial statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the December 31, 2010 audited financial statements included in our 2010 Form 10-K and present interim disclosures as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In order to conform with GAAP, we, in preparation of our financial statements, are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and

liabilities as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the results of our operations and comprehensive income for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, and our cash flows for each of the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, and all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Franchise Taxes
During 2005, we recorded a $745 franchise tax reserve related to a potential state franchise tax assessment for the 1996-2001 tax years. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we received a refund from the state, representing amounts paid during 2006 related to the 1996-2001 tax years. Based on the refund received and discussions with the taxing authorities, as of June 30, 2011, management believes that it is unlikely that any franchise tax amounts will be assessed by the state for such tax years. As such, during the three months ended June 30, 2011, we have reversed $745 of franchise taxes. Franchise taxes are recorded within general and administrative expense.
3. Investment in Real Estate
Acquisitions
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we acquired one industrial property comprising approximately 0.7 million square feet of GLA in connection with the purchase of the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture (see Note 5). The gross agreed-upon fair value of the industrial property was $30,625, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the industrial property. The acquisition was funded through the assumption of a mortgage loan, whose carrying value approximated fair market value, in the amount of $24,417 and a cash payment of of $5,277 (85% of the net fair value of the acquisition). We accounted for this transaction as a step acquisition utilizing the purchase method of accounting. Due to the change in control that occurred, we recorded a gain of approximately $689 related to the difference between our carrying value and fair value of our previously held equity interest on the acquisition date.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we acquired three industrial properties comprising approximately 0.5 million square feet of GLA, including one industrial property purchased from the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture. The purchase price of these acquisitions totaled approximately $22,408, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the industrial properties.
Intangible Assets Subject to Amortization in the Period of Acquisition
The fair value at the date of acquisition of in-place leases, above market leases and tenant relationships recorded due to real estate properties acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 and included in deferred leasing intangibles is as follows:

Sales and Discontinued Operations
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we sold 16 industrial properties comprising approximately 1.0 million square feet of GLA. Gross proceeds from the sales of the 16 industrial properties were approximately $27,245. The gain on sale of real estate was approximately $6,279, all of which is shown in discontinued operations. The 16 industrial properties sold meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations. Therefore the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the 16 sold industrial properties are included in discontinued operations.
At June 30, 2011, we had 142 industrial properties comprising approximately 11.2 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels held for sale. The results of operations of the 142 industrial properties held for sale at June 30, 2011 are included in discontinued operations. There can be no assurance that such industrial properties or land parcels held for sale will be sold.
Income from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010, reflects the results of operations of the 16 industrial properties that were sold during the six months ended June 30, 2011, the results of operations of 10 industrial properties and one land parcel that received ground rental revenues that were sold during the year ended December 31, 2010, the results of operations of the 142 industrial properties identified as held for sale at June 30, 2011 and the gain on sale of real estate relating to five industrial properties and one land parcel that received ground rental revenues that were sold during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had notes receivables outstanding of approximately $49,815 and $58,803, net of a discount of $351 and $383, respectively, which are included as a component of Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair values of the notes receivables were $52,277 and $60,944, respectively. The fair values of our notes receivables were determined by discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans with similar remaining maturities would be made to other borrowers.
Impairment Charges
On October 22, 2010, we amended our unsecured revolving credit facility (as amended, the “Unsecured Credit Facility”). In conjunction with the amendment, management identified a pool of real estate assets (the “Non-Strategic Assets”) that it intends to market and sell. At June 30, 2011, the Non-Strategic Assets consisted of 163 industrial properties comprising approximately 14.3 million square feet of GLA and land parcels comprising approximately 597 acres. The Non-Strategic Assets (except 21 industrial properties comprising approximately 3.1 million square feet of GLA) were classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2011.
The net impairment charges for assets that qualify to be classified as held for sale at June 30, 2011 were calculated as the difference of the carrying value of the properties and land parcels over the fair value less costs to sell. The net impairment charges are due to updated fair market values for certain of the Non-Strategic Assets whose estimated fair market values have changed since December 31, 2010. On the date an asset no longer qualifies to be classified as held for sale, the carrying value must be reestablished at the lower of the estimated fair market value of the asset or the carrying value of the asset prior to held for sale classification, adjusted for any depreciation and amortization that would have been recorded if the asset had not been classified as held for sale. Impairment has been reversed and/or catch-up depreciation and amortization has been recorded during the six months ended June 30,

2011, if applicable, for these assets that are no longer classified as held for sale. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded an impairment charge in the amount of $9,155 related to a property comprised of 0.3 million square feet of GLA located in Grand Rapids, Michigan (“Grand Rapids Property”) in connection with the negotiation of a new lease. The non-cash impairment charge related to the Grand Rapids Property was based upon the difference between the fair value of the property and its carrying value. The fair market values were determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analyses on expected cash flows, internal valuations of real estate and third party offers.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, we recorded the following net non-cash impairment charges:

The guidance for the fair value measurement provisions for the impairment of long lived assets recorded at fair value establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The following tables present information about our assets that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010. The tables indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques we utilized to determine fair value.

5. Investments in Joint Ventures
On May 26, 2011, we acquired the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture (see Note 3).
At June 30, 2011, the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture owned eight industrial properties comprising approximately 4.2 million square feet of GLA. The 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture is considered a variable interest entity in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) guidance on the consolidation of variable interest entities. However, we continue to conclude that we are not the primary beneficiary of this venture. As of June 30, 2011, our investment in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture is $2,101. Our maximum exposure to loss is equal to our investment plus any future contributions we make to the venture. We continue to hold our 10% equity interest in the 2007 Europe Joint Venture. As of June 30, 2011, the 2007 Europe Joint Venture did not own any properties.

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we have receivables from the Joint Ventures (and/or our former Joint Venture partners) in the aggregate amount of $1,422 and $2,857, respectively. These receivable amounts are included in Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, we invested the following amounts in, as well as received distributions from, our Joint Ventures and recognized fees from our Joint Ventures (and/or our former Joint Venture partners) in the following amounts:

On February 10, 2011, we paid off and retired prior to maturity our secured mortgage loan originally maturing in September 2012 in the amount of $14,520. On March 9, 2011, we paid off and retired prior to maturity our secured mortgage loan originally maturing in December 2014 in the amount of $14,980. On April 1, 2011, we paid off and retired prior to maturity our secured mortgage loan originally maturing in October 2014 in the amount of $27,389. In connection with the early payoffs, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded a loss on early retirement of debt of $1,104 and $1,970, respectively, related to prepayment premiums and the write-off of unamortized loan fees.
On May 2, 2011, the Operating Partnership obtained four secured mortgage loans aggregating to $132,463. In addition, the Other Real Estate Partnerships obtained four secured mortgage loans aggregating $45,837. The mortgage loans are cross-collateralized by 22 industrial properties totaling approximately 4.4 million square feet of GLA relating to the secured mortgage loans obtained by the Operating Partnership and 10 industrial properties totaling approximately 1.5 million square feet of GLA relating to the secured mortgage loans obtained by the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The mortgage loans bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.45%, principal payments are

Table of Contents
amortized over 30 years and the loans mature in June 2018. Prepayments are prohibited for twelve months after loan origination, after which prepayment premiums are calculated at the greater of yield maintenance or 1% of the outstanding loan balance.
On May 26, 2011, we assumed a secured mortgage loan in the amount of $24,417 in conjunction with the acquisition of an industrial property from the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture. The mortgage loan is collateralized by one industrial property totaling approximately 0.7 million square feet of GLA. The mortgage loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.579%, principal payments are amortized over 30 years and the loan matures in February 2016.
Included in Mortgage and Other Loans Payable is a $5,040 loan payable related to a non-recourse mortgage loan that matured on March 1, 2011. We are currently working with the lender to transfer title of the industrial building that serves as collateral in satisfaction of the loan. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts.
As of June 30, 2011, Mortgage and Other Loans Payable are collateralized by, and in some instances cross-collateralized by, industrial properties with a net carrying value of $720,914 and one letter of credit in the amount of $889.
During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we repurchased and retired the following senior unsecured notes prior to maturity:

2028 Notes | 49,630 | 48,946 | ||||||
$ | 57,130 | $ | 56,446 | |||||
In connection with these repurchases prior to maturity, we recognized $2,129 as loss on early retirement of debt for the three months ended June 30, 2011, which is the difference between the repurchase price of $56,446 and the principal amount retired of $57,130, net of the pro rata write off of the unamortized debt issue discount, the unamortized loan fees and the unamortized settlement amount of the interest rate protection agreements related to the repurchases of $39, $426 and $2,348, respectively.
During June 2011, we made a permanent repayment of $100,000 on the term loan of our Unsecured Credit Facility.
The following is a schedule of the stated maturities and scheduled principal payments as of June 30, 2011 of our indebtedness, exclusive of premiums and discounts, for the next five years ending December 31, and thereafter:

The Unsecured Credit Facility and the indentures under which our senior unsecured indebtedness is, or may be, issued contain certain financial covenants, including, among other things, coverage ratios and limitations on our ability to incur total indebtedness and secured and unsecured indebtedness. Consistent with our prior practice, we will, in the future, continue to interpret and certify our performance under these covenants in a good faith manner that we deem reasonable and appropriate. However, these financial covenants are complex and there can be no assurance that these provisions would not be interpreted by our noteholders or lenders in a manner that could impose and cause us to incur material costs. Any violation of these covenants would subject us to higher finance costs and fees, or accelerated maturities. We believe that we were in compliance with these financial covenants as of June 30, 2011, and we anticipate that we will be able to operate in compliance with these financial covenants throughout 2011. In addition, our credit facilities and senior debt securities contain certain cross-default provisions, which are triggered in the event that our other material indebtedness is in default. Under the Unsecured Credit Facility, an event of default can also occur if the lenders, in their good faith judgment, determine that a material adverse change has occurred which could prevent timely repayment or materially impair our ability to perform our obligations under the loan agreement.

The fair values of our mortgage and other loans payable were determined by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made based upon similar leverage levels and similar remaining maturities. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes was determined by quoted market prices for the same or similar issuances. The fair value of the Unsecured Credit Facility was determined by discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining term, assuming no repayment until maturity.
7. Partners’ Capital
On May 12, 2011, we filed an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance from 100 million to 150 million shares.
On May 31, 2011, the Company announced an underwritten public offering of 8,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $12.15 per share to the public. Gross offering proceeds upon settlement on June 6, 2011 were $102,060 in the aggregate. Proceeds to the Company, net of underwriter’s discount of $1,176 and total expenses of $138, were approximately $100,746.
On March 3, 2011, the Company announced an underwritten public offering of 8,900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $11.40 per share to the public. Gross offering proceeds upon settlement on March 4, 2011 were $101,460 in the aggregate. Proceeds to the Company, net of underwriter’s discount of $890 and total expenses of $166, were approximately $100,404. The proceeds for both offerings were contributed to us in exchange for Units and are reflected in our financial statements as a general partner contribution.
On February 28, 2011, the Company entered into distribution agreements with sales agents to sell up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, for up to $100,000 aggregate gross sale proceeds, from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings (the “ATM”). During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company issued 115,856 shares of the Company’s common stock under the ATM for approximately $1,391, net of $28 paid to the sales agent. These proceeds were contributed to us in exchange for Units and are reflected in our financial statements as a general partner contribution. Under the terms of the ATM, sales are to be made primarily in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” offerings, including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or by privately negotiated transactions.
During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, the Company awarded 292,339 and 573,198 shares, respectively, of restricted common stock to certain employees. We issued Units to the Company in the same amounts. The restricted common stock had a fair value of approximately $3,248 and $3,336, respectively, on the date of approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The restricted common stock vests over a three year period. Compensation expense will be charged to earnings over the vesting period for the shares expected to vest.
We recognized $1,081 and $1,778 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively, and $1,726 and $3,277 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively, in compensation expense related to restricted stock/unit awards. At June 30, 2011, we have $7,309 in unrecognized compensation related to unvested restricted stock/unit awards. The weighted average period that the unrecognized compensation is expected to be recognized is 1.00 year.
Distributions:
The coupon rate of our Series F Preferred Stock resets every quarter at 2.375% plus the greater of (i) the 30 year U.S. Treasury rate, (ii) the 10 year U.S. Treasury rate or (iii) 3-month LIBOR. For the second quarter of 2011, the new coupon rate was 6.885%. See Note 11 for additional derivative information related to the Series F Preferred Stock coupon rate reset.

Participating security holders are not obligated to share in losses. Therefore, none of the loss was allocated to participating securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010.
The number of weighted average units — diluted is the same as the number of weighted average units — basic for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, as the effect of Units corresponding to the Company’s stock options and restricted stock unit awards (that do not participate in non-forfeitable dividends of the Company) was excluded as its inclusion would have been antidilutive to the loss from continuing operations available to Unitholders. Units corresponding to the following awards of the Company were anti-dilutive and could be dilutive in future periods:

The 2011 Exchangeable Notes are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $50.93 per share and the Units corresponding to the shares issuable upon conversion were not included in the computation of diluted EPU as the Company’s average stock price did not exceed the strike price of the conversion feature.
10. Restructuring Costs
We committed the Operating Partnership to a plan to reduce organizational and overhead costs in October 2008 and have subsequently modified that plan with the goal of further reducing these costs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded as restructuring costs a pre-tax charge of $393 and $1,553, respectively, to provide for costs associated with the termination of a certain office lease ($156 and $1,200, respectively) and other costs ($237 and $353, respectively) associated with implementing the restructuring plan. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded as restructuring costs a pre-tax charge of $947 and $1,211, respectively, to provide for employee severance and benefits ($808 and $808, respectively), cost associated with the termination of certain office leases ($8 and $83, respectively) and other costs ($131 and $320, respectively) associated with implementing the restructuring plan. Included in employee severance costs is $189 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 of non-cash costs which represents the accelerated recognition of restricted stock expense for certain employees.
At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we have $2,588 and $1,574, respectively, included in Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities, Net primarily related to remaining payments under certain lease obligations.
11. Derivatives
Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our cash flow volatility and exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
Our Series F Preferred Stock is subject to a coupon rate reset. The coupon rate resets every quarter at 2.375% plus the greater of i) the 30 year U.S. Treasury rate, ii) the 10 year U.S. Treasury rate or iii) 3-month LIBOR. For the second quarter of 2011 the new coupon rate was 6.885%. In October 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional value of $50,000 to mitigate our exposure to floating interest rates related to the forecasted reset rate of the coupon rate of our Series F Preferred Stock (the “Series F Agreement”). The Series F Agreement fixes the 30-year U.S. Treasury rate at 5.2175%. Accounting guidance for derivatives does not permit hedge accounting treatment related to equity instruments and therefore the mark to market gains or losses related to this agreement are recorded in the statement of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, $232 and
16
Table of Contents
$188, respectively, in unrealized loss, is recognized as Mark-to-Market Loss on Interest Rate Protection Agreements. Quarterly payments or receipts are treated as a component of the mark to market gains or losses and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, totaled $89 and $188, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, $1,324 and $1,458, respectively, in unrealized loss, is recognized as Mark-to-Market Loss on Interest Rate Protection Agreements. Quarterly payments or receipts are treated as a component of the mark to market gains or losses and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, totaled $59 and $135, respectively.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) and is subsequently reclassified to earnings through interest expense over the life of the derivative or over the life of the debt. In the next 12 months, we will amortize approximately $2,224 into net income by increasing interest expense for interest rate protection agreements we settled in previous periods.
The following is a summary of the terms of our derivatives and their fair values, which are included in Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities, Net on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets:

Our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain provisions where if we default on any of our indebtedness, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations subject to certain thresholds.
The guidance for fair value measurement of financial instruments includes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The following table sets forth our financial liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

The valuation of the Series F Agreement is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the instrument. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the agreements including the period to maturity. In adjusting the fair value of the interest rate protection agreements for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements. To comply with the provisions of fair value measurement, we incorporated a credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”) to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. However, assessing significance of inputs is a matter of judgment that should consider a variety of factors. One factor we consider is the CVA and its materiality to the overall valuation of the derivatives on the balance sheet and to their related changes in fair value. We consider the Series F Agreement to be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to a significant number of unobservable inputs. The Series F Agreement swaps a fixed rate 5.2175% for floating rate payments based on 30-year Treasury. No market observable prices exist for long-dated Treasuries past 30 years. Therefore, we have classified the Series F Agreement in its entirety as a Level 3.

12. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, we are involved in legal actions arising from the ownership of our industrial properties. In our opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, operations or liquidity.
13. Subsequent Events
From July 1, 2011 to August 3, 2011, we sold one industrial property for approximately $3,100.
On July 6, 2011, we repurchased and retired $9,395 of our senior unsecured debt maturing in 2028 at par. In connection with the partial retirement, we will recognize approximately $522 as loss on early retirement of debt.

GENERAL
First Industrial, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) was organized as a limited partnership in the state of Delaware on November 23, 1993. The sole general partner is First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) which owns common units in the Operating Partnership (“Units”) representing an approximate 94.3% ownership interest at June 30, 2011. The Company also owns a preferred general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership represented by preferred units (“Preferred Units”) with an aggregate liquidation priority of $275 million. The Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). The Company’s operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership own, in the aggregate, an approximate 5.7% interest in the Operating Partnership at June 30, 2011.
The Operating Partnership is the sole member of several limited liability companies (the “L.L.C.s”) and the sole shareholder of the taxable REIT subsidiaries, (together with the Operating Partnership and the L.L.C.s, the “Consolidated Operating Partnership”), the operating data of which is consolidated with that of the Operating Partnership as presented herein. We also hold at least a 99% limited partnership interest in each of eight limited partnerships (together, the “Other Real Estate Partnerships”).
The general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships are separate corporations, each with at least a .01% general partnership interest in the Other Real Estate Partnership for which it acts as a general partner. Each general partner of the Other Real Estate Partnerships is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
As of June 30, 2011, we owned 691 industrial properties located in 27 states in the United States and one province in Canada, containing an aggregate of approximately 60.5 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”).
We also own noncontrolling equity interests in, and provide services to, two joint ventures (the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture” and the “2007 Europe Joint Venture”). During 2010, we provided various services to, and ultimately disposed of our equity interests in, five joint ventures (the “2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture,” the “2005 Core Joint Venture,” the “2006 Net Lease Co-

Investment Program,” the “2006 Land/Development Joint Venture,” and the “2007 Canada Joint Venture;” together with the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture and the 2007 Europe Joint Venture, the “Joint Ventures”). The 2007 Europe Joint Venture does not own any properties. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the Joint Ventures.
The Other Real Estate Partnerships and the Joint Ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the operating data of the Other Real Estate Partnerships and the Joint Ventures are not consolidated with that of the Consolidated Operating Partnership as presented herein.

MANAGEMENT’S OVERVIEW
We believe our financial condition and results of operations are, primarily, a function of our performance in four key areas: leasing of industrial properties, acquisition and development of additional industrial properties, disposition of industrial properties, debt reduction and access to external capital.
We generate revenue primarily from rental income and tenant recoveries from long-term (generally three to six years) operating leases of our industrial properties. Such revenue is offset by certain property specific operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities and insurance expenses, along with certain other costs and expenses, such as depreciation and amortization costs and general and administrative and interest expenses. Our revenue growth is dependent, in part, on our ability to (i) increase rental income, through increasing either or both occupancy rates and rental rates at our properties, (ii) maximize tenant recoveries and (iii) minimize operating and certain other expenses. Revenues generated from rental income and tenant recoveries are a significant source of funds, in addition to income generated from gains/losses on the sale of our properties (as discussed below), for our liquidity. The leasing of property, in general, and occupancy rates, rental rates, operating expenses and certain non-operating expenses, in particular, are impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The leasing of property also entails various risks, including the risk of tenant default. If we were unable to maintain or increase occupancy rates and rental rates at our properties or to maintain tenant recoveries and operating and certain other expenses consistent with historical levels and proportions, our revenue would decline. Further, if a significant number of our tenants were unable to pay rent (including tenant recoveries) or if we were unable to rent our properties on favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the Company’s ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, the Company’s common stock would be adversely affected.
Our revenue growth is also dependent, in part, on our ability to acquire existing, and acquire and develop new, additional industrial properties on favorable terms. We seek to identify opportunities to acquire existing industrial properties on favorable terms, and, when conditions permit, also seek to identify opportunities to acquire and develop new industrial properties on favorable terms. Existing properties, as they are acquired, and acquired and developed properties, as they are leased, generate revenue from rental income, tenant recoveries and fees, income from which, as discussed above, is a source of funds for our distributions. The acquisition and development of properties is impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The acquisition and development of properties also entails various risks, including the risk that our investments may not perform as expected. For example, acquired existing and acquired and developed new properties may not sustain and/or achieve anticipated occupancy and rental rate levels. With respect to acquired and developed new properties, we may not be able to complete construction on schedule or within budget, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs and
20
Table of Contents
delays in leasing the properties. Also, we face significant competition for attractive acquisition and development opportunities from other well-capitalized real estate investors, including both publicly-traded REITs and private investors. Further, as discussed below, we may not be able to finance the acquisition and development opportunities we identify. If we were unable to acquire and develop sufficient additional properties on favorable terms or if such investments did not perform as expected, our revenue growth would be limited and our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the Company’s ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, the Company’s common stock would be adversely affected.
We also generate income from the sale of our properties (including existing buildings, buildings which we have developed or re-developed on a merchant basis and land). The gain/loss on, and fees from, the sale of such properties are included in our income and can be a significant source of funds, in addition to revenues generated from rental income and tenant recoveries, for our operations. Currently, a significant portion of our proceeds from sales are being used to repay outstanding debt. Market conditions permitting, however, a portion of our proceeds from such sales may also be used to fund the acquisition of existing, and the acquisition and development of new, industrial properties. The sale of properties is impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The sale of properties also entails various risks, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of our properties. Further, our ability to sell properties is limited by safe harbor rules applying to REITs under the Code which relate to the number of properties that may be disposed of in a year, their tax bases and the cost of improvements made to the properties, along with other tests which enable a REIT to avoid punitive taxation on the sale of assets. If we were unable to sell properties on favorable terms, our income growth would be limited and our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the Company’s ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, the Company’s common stock would be adversely affected.
We utilize a portion of the net sales proceeds from property sales, borrowings under our unsecured credit facility (the “Unsecured Credit Facility”) and proceeds from the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional debt and equity securities to refinance debt, finance future acquisitions and developments. Access to external capital on favorable terms plays a key role in our financial condition and results of operations, as it impacts our cost of capital and our ability and cost to refinance existing indebtedness as it matures and to fund acquisitions and developments or through the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional equity securities. Our ability to access external capital on favorable terms is dependent on various factors, including general market conditions, interest rates, credit ratings on our capital stock and debt, the market’s perception of our growth potential, our current and potential future earnings and cash distributions and the market price of the Company’s capital stock. If we were unable to access external capital on favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the Company’s ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, the Company’s common stock would be adversely affected.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010
Our net loss available to unitholders and participating securities was $14.4 million and $43.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. Basic and diluted net loss available to unitholders was $0.18 per Unit and $0.65 per Unit for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.
The tables below summarize our revenues, property expenses and depreciation and other amortization by various categories for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010. Same store properties are properties owned prior to January 1, 2010 and held as an operating property through June 30, 2011, and developments and redevelopments that were placed in service prior to January 1, 2010 or were substantially completed for 12 months prior to January 1, 2010. Properties which are at least 75% occupied at acquisition are placed in service. All other properties are placed in service as they reach the earlier of a) stabilized occupancy (generally defined as 90% occupied), or b) one year subsequent to acquisition or development completion. Acquired properties are properties that were acquired subsequent to December 31, 2009 and held as an operating property through June 30, 2011. Sold properties are properties that were sold subsequent to December 31, 2009. (Re)Developments and land are land parcels and developments and redevelopments that were not a) substantially complete 12 months prior to January 1, 2010 or b) placed in service prior to January 1, 2010. Other revenues are derived from the operations of our maintenance company, fees earned from our Joint Ventures and other miscellaneous revenues. Construction revenues and expenses represent revenues earned and expenses incurred in connection with certain subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership acting as development manager to construct industrial properties. Other expenses are derived from the operations of our maintenance company and other miscellaneous regional expenses.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, the occupancy rates of our same store properties were 84.0% and 80.3%, respectively.

Revenues from same store properties remained relatively unchanged. Revenues from acquired properties increased $1.1 million due to the four industrial properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2009 totaling approximately 1.2 million square feet of GLA. Revenues from sold properties decreased $1.8 million due to the 26 industrial properties and one leased land parcel sold subsequent to December 31, 2009 totaling approximately 2.0 million square feet of GLA. Revenues from (re)developments and land increased $0.2 million primarily due to an increase in occupancy. Other revenues decreased $4.1 million due primarily to a decrease in asset management and property management fees earned from our Joint Ventures due to the disposition of our equity interests in five of our Joint Ventures. Construction revenues decreased $0.3 million primarily due to the substantial completion prior to June 30, 2010 of certain development projects for which we were acting in the capacity of development manager.

Property expenses include real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other property related expenses. Property expenses from same store properties remained relatively unchanged. Property expenses from acquired properties increased $0.2 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2009. Property expenses from sold properties decreased $0.8 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2009. Property expenses from (re)developments and land decreased $0.1 million primarily relate to a decrease in real estate tax expense. The $1.7 million decrease in other expense is primarily attributable to a decrease in compensation resulting from a reduction in employee headcount. Construction expenses decreased $0.2 million primarily due to the substantial completion prior to June 30, 2010 of certain development projects for which we were acting in the capacity of development manager.
General and administrative expense decreased $6.3 million, or 38.5%, due primarily to a decrease in compensation expense resulting from the reduction in employee headcount that occurred in 2010, a decrease in lawsuit settlement expense and a decrease in franchise tax expense due to the reversal of a state franchise tax reserve relating to the 1996-2001 tax years.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred $1.6 million in restructuring charges to provide for costs associated with the termination of a certain office lease ($1.2 million) and other costs ($0.4 million) associated with implementing our restructuring plan.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we incurred $1.2 million in restructuring charges to provide for employee severance and benefits ($0.8 million), costs associated with the termination of certain office leases ($0.1 million) and other costs ($0.3 million) associated with implementing our restructuring plan.
On October 22, 2010, we amended our Unsecured Credit Facility. In conjunction with the amendment, management identified a pool of real estate assets (the “Non-Strategic Assets”) that it intends to market and sell. At December 31, 2010, all of the Non-Strategic Assets, which consisted of 175 industrial properties comprising approximately 15.0 million square feet of GLA and land parcels comprising approximately 635 acres, were classified as held for sale except one industrial property comprising 0.3 million square feet of GLA. At June 30, 2011, there are 22 industrial properties comprising approximately 2.8 million square feet of GLA and a land parcel comprising 38 acres that no longer qualify to be classified as held for sale. While certain of these assets were classified as held for sale, we had recorded impairment in order to adjust the carrying value of the assets to fair market value less costs to sell. The impairment reversal for the six months ended June 30, 2011 of $7.2 million includes a reversal of impairment of $1.3 million relating to certain industrial properties that no longer qualify for held for sale classification as well as a $5.9 million reversal of impairment relating to a land parcel that continues to be classified as held for sale. The $5.9 million reversal of impairment relating to the land parcel was based upon recent offer activity to purchase the land.
In connection with our periodic review of the carrying values of our properties and the negotiation of a new lease, we determined in the first quarter of 2010 that an impairment loss in the amount of $9.2 million should be recorded on one property located in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Depreciation and other amortization for same store properties decreased $10.2 million primarily due to the cessation of depreciation and amortization of the Non-Strategic Assets that qualified for held for sale classification during the second quarter of 2011. Depreciation and other amortization from acquired properties increased $0.7 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2009. Depreciation and other amortization from sold properties decreased $1.1 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2009. Depreciation and other amortization for (re)developments and land and other increased $0.1 million primarily due to an increase in the substantial completion of developments. Depreciation and other amortization for corporate furniture, fixtures and equipment decreased $0.3 million primarily due to assets becoming fully depreciated.
Interest income decreased $0.2 million, or 10.0%, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average mortgage loans receivable balance for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Interest expense decreased $1.5 million, or 2.9%, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average debt balance outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2011 ($1,604.5 million), as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 ($1,867.4 million), partially offset by an increase in the weighted average interest rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 (6.33%), as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 (5.61%).
Amortization of deferred financing costs increased $0.5 million or 34.3%, primarily due to an increase in financing costs related to the amendment of our Unsecured Credit Facility in October 2010.
In October 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the “Series F Agreement”) to mitigate our exposure to floating interest rates related to the coupon reset of the Company’s Series F Preferred Stock. The Series F Agreement has a notional value of $50.0 million and is effective from April 1, 2009 through October 1, 2013. The Series F Agreement fixes the 30-year U.S. Treasury rate at 5.2175%. We recorded $0.2 million in mark to market loss, inclusive of the reset payment, which is included in Mark-to-Market Loss on Interest Rate Protection Agreements for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $1.5 million in mark to market loss, inclusive of the reset payment, which is included in Mark-to-Market Loss on Interest Rate Protection Agreements, for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized a loss from early retirement of debt of $4.1 million due the early payoff of certain mortgage loans and the partial repurchase of certain series of our senior unsecured notes. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we recognized a net loss from early retirement of debt of $4.0 million primarily due to the redemption of our 2011 Notes.
Foreign currency exchange loss of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 relates to the wind-down of operations in Europe.
Equity in income of Other Real Estate Partnerships increased $1.8 million, or 31.0%, primarily due to an increase in gain on sale of real estate for the Other Real Estate Partnerships for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, Equity in Income of Joint Ventures remained relatively unchanged. However, during 2010 we sold our equity interests in five joint ventures (the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture, the 2005 Core Joint Venture, the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program, the 2006 Land/Development Joint Venture and the 2007 Canada Joint Venture). For the six months ended June 30, 2010, our pro rata share of income from three of the sold joint ventures of $1.8 million was substantially offset by our pro rata share of losses from two of the sold joint ventures of $1.9 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, Gain on Change in Control of Interests relates to the acquisition of the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture. The $0.7 million gain is the difference between our carrying value and fair value of our previously held equity interest on the acquisition date.
Income tax provision (included in continuing operations, discontinued operations and gain on sale of real estate) decreased by $0.9 million, or 29.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to a decrease in state taxes in 2011 due to a one time unfavorable court decision on business loss carry-forwards in the State of Michigan in 2010, partially offset by an increase in gain on sale of real estate in the taxable REIT subsidiaries for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Interest expense decreased $0.3 million, or 1.4%, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average debt balance outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2011 ($1,550.5 million), as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 ($1,817.0 million), partially offset by an increase in the weighted average interest rate for the three months ended June 30, 2011 (6.35%), as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 (5.49%).
Amortization of deferred financing costs increased $0.3 million or 36.1%, primarily due to an increase in financing costs related to the amendment of our Unsecured Credit Facility in October 2010.
We recorded $0.2 million in mark to market loss, inclusive of the reset payment, which is included in Mark-to-Market Loss on Interest Rate Protection Agreements for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $1.3 million in mark to market loss, inclusive of the reset payment, which is included in Mark-to-Market Loss on Interest Rate Protection Agreements, for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized a loss from early retirement of debt of $3.2 million due to the early payoff of certain mortgage loans and the partial repurchase of certain series of our senior unsecured notes. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, we recognized a loss from early retirement of debt of $4.3 million due to the redemption of our 2011 Notes.
Foreign currency exchange loss of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 relates to the Company’s wind-down of its operations in Europe.
Equity in income of Other Real Estate Partnerships remained relatively unchanged.
For the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, Equity in Income of Joint Ventures decreased $0.5 million, or 83.0%, primarily due to the sale of our equity interests in five joint ventures (the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture, the 2005 Core Joint Venture, the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program, the 2006 Land/Development Joint Venture and the 2007 Canada Joint Venture). For the three months ended June 30, 2010, our pro rata share of income from three of the sold joint ventures of $1.4 million was partially offset by our pro rata share of losses from two of the sold joint ventures of $0.9 million.
For the three months ended June 30, 2011, Gain on Change in Control of Interests relates to the redemption of the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture. The $0.7 million gain is the difference between our carrying value and fair value of our previously held equity interest on the acquisition date.

Income tax provision (included in continuing operations, discontinued operations and gain on sale of real estate) decreased by $0.8 million, or 32.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to a decrease in state taxes in 2011 due to a one time unfavorable court decision on business loss carry-forwards in the State of Michigan in 2010, partially offset by an increase in gain on sale of real estate in the taxable REIT subsidiaries for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010.
The following table summarizes certain information regarding the industrial properties included in our discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010.

Income from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2010 reflects the gain on sale of real estate relating to two industrial properties that were sold during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and reflects the results of operations of the 10 industrial properties and one land parcel that received ground rental revenues that were sold during the year ended December 31, 2010, four industrial properties that were sold during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 142 industrial properties identified as held for sale at June 30, 2011.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 2011 our cash and cash equivalents was approximately $32.0 million. We also had $198.7 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility, subject to certain restrictions.
We have considered our short-term (through June 30, 2012) liquidity needs and the adequacy of our estimated cash flow from operations and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. Our 4.625% Notes due in 2011, in the aggregate principal amount of $128.9 million, are due on September 15, 2011 (the “2011 Exchangeable Notes”) and our 6.875% Notes due in 2012, in the aggregate principal amount of $61.8 million, are due on April 15, 2012 (the “2012 Notes”). We expect to satisfy the payment obligations on the 2011 Exchangeable Notes and the 2012 Notes with borrowings on our Unsecured Credit Facility, with proceeds from property dispositions and with the issuance of common equity, subject to market conditions. With the exception of the 2011 Exchangeable Notes and the 2012 Notes, we believe that our principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring expenses, property acquisitions, developments, renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements, debt service requirements, mortgage financing maturities and the minimum distributions required to maintain the Company’s REIT qualification under the Code. We anticipate that these needs will be met with cash flows provided by operating and investing activities, including the disposition of select assets. In addition, we plan to retain capital by making per Unit distributions equivalent to the per share distributions the Company is required to make to meet its minimum distribution requirements as a REIT. We have not paid a distribution to date in 2011 and may not pay distributions in future quarters in 2011 depending on the Company’s taxable income. If the Company is required to pay common stock dividends in 2011, we may elect to satisfy this obligation by distributing a combination of cash and common Units, and/or shares of the Company’s common stock.
We expect to meet long-term (after June 30, 2012) liquidity requirements such as property acquisitions, developments, scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements through the disposition of select assets, long-term unsecured and secured indebtedness and the issuance of additional equity securities, subject to market conditions.

We also have financed the development or acquisition of additional properties through borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility and may finance the development or acquisition of additional properties through such borrowings, to the extent capacity is available, in the future. At June 30, 2011, borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 3.436%. Our Unsecured Credit Facility is comprised of a $100.0 million term loan and a $200.0 million revolving credit facility. The interest rate on the term loan is LIBOR plus 325 basis points or a base rate plus 225 basis points, at our election. The revolving credit facility currently bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 275 basis points or a base rate plus 175 basis points, at our election. As of August 3, 2011, we had approximately $182.7 million available for additional borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility, subject to certain restrictions. Our Unsecured Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. Our access to borrowings may be limited if we fail to meet any of these covenants. We believe that we were in compliance with our financial covenants as of June 30, 2011, and we anticipate that we will be able to operate in compliance with our financial covenants for the remainder of 2011.
Our senior unsecured notes have been assigned credit ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch Ratings of BB-/Ba3/BB, respectively. In the event of a downgrade, we believe we would continue to have access to sufficient capital; however, our cost of borrowing would increase and our ability to access certain financial markets may be limited.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2011
Net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $32.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was comprised primarily of the non-cash adjustments of approximately $47.1 million and a decrease in restricted cash of approximately $0.1 million, offset by a net change in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $9.1 million, a net loss of approximately $4.5 million and prepayment premiums associated with the early retirement of debt of approximately $1.2 million. The adjustments for the non-cash items of approximately $47.1 million are primarily comprised of depreciation and amortization of approximately $57.1 million, the loss on the early retirement of debt of approximately $4.1 million, the provision for bad debt of approximately $0.6 million and the mark to market loss related to the Series F Agreement of approximately $0.2 million, offset by the gain on sale of real estate of approximately $6.3 million, the effect of the straight-lining of rental income of approximately $4.0 million, the impairment of real estate of approximately $3.9 million and the gain on the change in control of interests in connection with the redemption of the 85% equity interest in one property from the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture of approximately $0.7 million.
Net cash provided by investing activities of approximately $48.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was comprised primarily of distributions from the Other Real Estate Partnerships, net proceeds from the sale of real estate and the repayments on our mortgage loan receivables, offset by investments in and advances to the Other Real Estate Partnerships, the acquisition of the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture, capital expenditures related to the improvement of existing real estate and payments related to leasing activities.
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we acquired one industrial property comprising approximately 0.7 million square feet of GLA in connection with the redemption of the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture. The acquisition was funded with a cash payment of $5.3 million and the assumption of a mortgage loan in the amount of $24.4 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we sold 16 industrial properties comprising approximately 1.0 million square feet of GLA. Proceeds from the sales of the 16 industrial properties, net of closing costs and seller financing, were approximately $24.7 million.
Net cash used in financing activities of approximately $71.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was comprised primarily of net repayments on our Unsecured Credit Facility, repayments on our mortgage loans payable and senior unsecured notes, preferred general partnership Unit distributions, payments of debt and equity issuance costs, the repurchase and retirement of Units corresponding to awards of restricted stock of the Company and payments on the interest rate swap agreement, offset by the contributions from the Company resulting from the issuance of common stock and the proceeds from the new mortgage financings.
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, 17,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued through public offerings, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $201.5 million. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2011 115,856 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued under an ATM offering, resulting in net proceeds of $1.4 million. These proceeds were contributed to us in exchange for an equivalent number of Units.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we obtained four secured mortgage loans aggregating to $132.5 million. The mortgage loans bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.45% and mature in June 2018.
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we repurchased and retired $57.1 million of senior unsecured notes at an aggregate purchase price of $56.4 million. Additionally, we paid off and retired prior to maturity $56.9 million in mortgage loans payable and made a $100.0 million permanent repayment on the term loan portion of our Unsecured Credit Facility.
Market Risk
The following discussion about our risk-management activities includes “forward-looking statements” that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward- looking statements. Our business subjects us to market risk from interest rates, and to a much lesser extent, foreign currency fluctuations.
Interest Rate Risk
In the normal course of business, we also face risks that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable. Such risks principally include credit risk and legal risk and are not represented in the following analysis.
At June 30, 2011, approximately $1,352.6 million (approximately 93.1% of total debt at June 30, 2011) of our debt was fixed rate debt and approximately $100.0 million (approximately 6.9% of total debt at June 30, 2011) was variable rate debt.
For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt, but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in the base interest rate used to calculate the all-in interest rate generally do not impact the fair value of the debt, but would affect our future earnings and cash flows. The interest rate risk and changes in fair market value of fixed rate debt generally do not have a significant impact on us until we are required to refinance such debt. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the maturity dates of our various fixed rate debt.
Based upon the amount of variable rate debt outstanding at June 30, 2011, a 10% increase or decrease in the interest rate on our variable rate debt would decrease or increase, respectively, future net income and cash flows by approximately $0.3 million per year. The foregoing calculation assumes an instantaneous increase or decrease in the rates applicable to the amount of borrowings outstanding under our Unsecured Credit Facility at June 30, 2011. Changes in LIBOR could result in a greater than 10% increase to such rates. In addition, the calculation does not account for our option to elect the lower of two different interest rates under our borrowings or other possible actions, such as prepayment, that we might take in response to any rate increase.
The use of derivative financial instruments allows us to manage risks of increases in interest rates with respect to the effect these fluctuations would have on our earnings and cash flows. As of June 30, 2011, we had one outstanding derivative with a notional amount of $50.0 million which mitigates our exposure to floating interest rates related to the reset rate of our Series F Preferred Stock (see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Owning, operating and developing industrial property outside of the United States exposes the Company to the possibility of volatile movements in foreign exchange rates. Changes in foreign currencies can affect the operating results of international operations reported in U.S. dollars and the value of the foreign assets reported in U.S. dollars. The economic impact of foreign exchange rate movements is complex because such changes are often linked to variability in real growth, inflation, interest rates, governmental actions and other factors. At June 30, 2011, we owned several land parcels for which the U.S. dollar was not the functional currency. These land parcels are located in Ontario, Canada and we use the Canadian dollar as their functional currency.
Subsequent Events
From July 1, 2011 to August 3, 2011, we sold one industrial property for approximately $3.1 million.

On July 6, 2011, we repurchased and retired $9.4 million of our senior unsecured debt maturing in 2028 at par. In connection with the partial retirement, we will recognize approximately $0.5 million as loss on early retirement of debt.
