(Unaudited)
1. | Organization and Formation of Company |
First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized in the state of Maryland on August 10, 1993. The Company is a real estate investment trust as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. The Company’s operations are conducted primarily through First Industrial, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) of which the Company is the sole general partner with an approximate 86.8% and 86.4% ownership interest at September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, respectively. Minority interest at September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 of approximately 13.2% and 13.6%, respectively, represents the aggregate partnership interest in the Operating Partnership held by the limited partners thereof.
As of September 30, 2005, the Company owned 908 industrial properties (inclusive of developments in process) located in 27 states, containing an aggregate of approximately 75.9 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”). Of the 908 industrial properties owned by the Company, 559 are held by the Operating Partnership and limited liability companies of which the Operating Partnership is the sole member, 275 are held by limited partnerships in which the Operating Partnership is the limited partner and wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company are the general partners and 74 are held by an entity wholly-owned by the Operating Partnership.
On September 14, 2005 and March 21, 2005, the Company, through entities wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by the Operating Partnership, entered into joint venture arrangements with an institutional investor to invest in industrial properties (the “September 2005 Joint Venture” and “March 2005 Joint Venture”). The Company, through entities wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by the Operating Partnership, owns a ten percent equity interest in and provides property management, leasing, development, disposition and portfolio management services to the September 2005 Joint Venture and the March 2005 Joint Venture. In addition, the Company has the opportunity to earn performance-based incentives when industrial assets are sold and returns exceed certain thresholds.
The Company, through separate, wholly-owned limited liability companies of which the Operating Partnership is the sole member, also owns minority equity interests in, and provides asset and property management services to, two other joint ventures which invest in industrial properties (the “September 1998 Joint Venture” and the “May 2003 Joint Venture”). The Company, through separate wholly-owned limited liability companies of which the Operating Partnership is also the sole member, also owned a minority interest in and provided property management services to another joint venture which invested in industrial properties (the “December 2001 Joint Venture”; together with the September 2005 Joint Venture, March 2005 Joint Venture, the September 1998 Joint Venture and the May 2003 Joint Venture, the “Joint Ventures”). During the year ended December 31, 2004, the December 2001 Joint Venture sold all of its industrial properties. The operating data of the Joint Ventures is not consolidated with that of the Company 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 the Company’s 2004 Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with such financial statements and related notes. The following notes to these interim financial statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the December 31, 2004 audited financial statements included in the Company’s 2004 Form 10-K and present interim disclosures as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In order to conform with generally accepted accounting principles, management, in preparation of the Company’s financial statements, is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported

FIRST INDUSTRIAL REALTY TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for each of the nine and three months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
During 2005 the Company entered into a contract with a third party to construct an industrial property. This build-to-suit for sale contract required an up front earnest money deposit and requires the remaining purchase price to be paid at closing. The Company uses the percentage-of-completion contract method of accounting in accordance with SOP 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts”. During the period of performance, costs are accumulated on the balance sheet in Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets and revenues and expenses are recognized in continuing operations.
The Company accounts for all acquisitions entered into subsequent to June 30, 2001 in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141”). Upon acquisition of a property, the Company allocates the purchase price of the property based upon the fair value of the assets acquired, which generally consist of land, buildings, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and intangible assets including in-place leases and above market and below market leases. The Company allocates the purchase price to the fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property by valuing the property as if it were vacant. Acquired above and below market leases are valued based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rates and the in-place rates over the remaining lease term. Above market leases, Net of $6,666 are included in Deferred Leasing Intangibles, Net at September 30, 2005. Deferred Leasing Intangibles, Net, included in liabilities of $12,101 represents Below Market Leases, Net at September 30, 2005. Acquired above and below market leases are amortized over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases as an adjustment to rental revenue on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
The purchase price is further allocated to in-place lease values based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristic of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. The net value of in-place lease intangibles of $50,738 at September 30, 2005, which is included as a component of Deferred Leasing Intangibles, Net is amortized to expense over the remaining lease term and expected renewal periods of the respective lease. If a tenant terminates its lease early, the unamortized portion of the tenant improvements, leasing commissions, above and below market leases and the in-place lease value is immediately charged to expense.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and the results of its operations and comprehensive income for each of the nine and three months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, and all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Restatement: |
In the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 presented in its Form 10-Q filed November 9, 2004, the Company allocated its entire tax provision/benefit to income from discontinued operations. The Company has determined that its tax provision/benefit should be allocated between income from continuing operations, income from discontinued operations and gain on sale of real estate. The Company has restated its consolidated statement of operations for the nine and three months ended

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
September 30, 2004 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to reflect this new allocation in this Form 10-Q. See Note 11 for further disclosure about the restatement.
Income Taxes: |
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. As a result, the Company generally is not subject to federal income taxation to the extent of the income which it distributes if it satisfies the requirements set forth in Section 856 of the Code (pertaining to its organization and types of income and assets) necessary to maintain its status as a REIT, it distributes annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, as defined in the Code, to its stockholders and it satisfies certain other requirements. Accordingly, a provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements only as it relates to the activities conducted in its taxable REIT subsidiary, First Industrial Development Services, Inc., which has been accounted for under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“FAS 109”). Additionally, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to certain state and local income taxes; these taxes are included within the provision for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In accordance with FAS 109, the total benefit/expense has been separately allocated to income from continuing operations, income from discontinued operations and gain on sale of real estate.
Stock Incentive Plan: |
Prior to January 1, 2003, the Company accounted for its stock incentive plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”). Under APB 25, compensation expense is not recognized for options issued in which the strike price is equal to the fair value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” (“FAS 123”), as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure”. The Company is applying the fair value recognition provisions of FAS 123 prospectively to all employee option awards granted after December 31, 2002. The Company has not awarded options to employees or directors of the Company subsequent to the adoption of FAS 123, and therefore no stock-based employee compensation expense is included in net income available to common stockholders related to the fair value recognition provisions of FAS 123.

Discontinued Operations: |
On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“FAS 144”). FAS 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the disposal of long-lived assets. FAS 144 requires that the results of operations and gains or losses on the sale of property be presented in discontinued operations if both of the following criteria are met: (a) the operations and cash flows of the property have been (or will be) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company as a result of the disposal transaction and (b) the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the property after the disposal transaction. FAS 144 also requires prior period results of operations for these properties to be restated and presented in discontinued operations in prior consolidated statements of operations.
Reclassification |
Certain 2004 items have been reclassified to conform with 2005 presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In December, 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets — An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29” (“FAS 153”). The amendments made by FAS 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have “commercial substance.” FAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe that the adoption of FAS 153 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December, 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123: (Revised 2004) — Share-Based Payment (“FAS 123R”). FAS 123R replaces FAS 123, which the Company adopted on January 1, 2003. FAS 123R requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements and measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. FAS 123R is effective as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December, 2005. The Company does not believe that the adoption of FAS 123R will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May, 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“FAS 154”) which supersedes APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”. FAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of changes in accounting principle. The statement requires the retroactive application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principles, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. FAS 154 does not change the guidance for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements or the change in an accounting estimate. FAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
In June, 2005, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) regarding EITF 04-05, “Investor’s Accounting for an Investment in a Limited Partnership When the Investor is the Sole General Partner and the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights.” The conclusion provides a framework for addressing the question of when a sole general partner, as defined in EITF 04-05, should consolidate a limited partnership. The EITF has concluded that the general partner of a limited partnership should consolidate a limited partnership unless (1) the limited partners possess substantive kick-out rights as defined in paragraph B20 of FIN 46R, or (2) the limited partners possess substantive participating rights similar to the rights described in Issue 96-16, “Investor’s Accounting for an Investee When the Investor has a Majority of the Voting Interest by the Minority Shareholder or Shareholders Have Certain Approval or Veto Rights.” In addition, the EITF concluded that the guidance should be expanded to include all limited partnerships, including those with multiple general partners. The adoption of EITF 04-05 did not effect the results of operations, financial position or liquidity of the Company.
In June 2005, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the EITF regarding EITF No. 05-6, “Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements.” The guidance requires that leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination, or purchased subsequent to the inception of a lease, be amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes renewals that are reasonably assured at the date of the business combination or purchase. The guidance is effective for periods beginning after June 29, 2005. EITF 05-6 does not impact the company’s results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.
3. | Investments in Joint Ventures |
As of September 30, 2005, the September 1998 Joint Venture owned 41 industrial properties comprising approximately 1.3 million square feet of GLA, the May 2003 Joint Venture owned 11 industrial properties comprising approximately 4.7 million square feet of GLA, the March 2005 Joint Venture owned 28 industrial properties comprising approximately 3.4 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels and the September 2005 Joint Venture owned 218 industrial properties comprising approximately 14.1 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
The Company deferred 15% of the gain on sale of real estate and acquisition fees in the May 2003 Joint Venture, 10% of the gain on sale of real estate in the March 2005 Joint Venture and 10% of the acquisition fee in the September 2005 Joint Venture which is equal to the Company’s respective economic interests. Total deferrals were $2,737 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The deferrals reduce the Company’s investment in the joint ventures and are amortized into income over the life of the properties, generally 30 to 45 years. If the Joint Ventures sell any of these properties to a third party, the Company will recognize the unamortized portion of the deferred gain and fees as equity in income of joint ventures. If the Company repurchases any of these properties, the deferrals will be netted against the basis of the property purchased (which reduces the basis of the property).
At September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company has a receivable from the Joint Ventures of $4,764 and $1,261, respectively, which mainly relates to borrowings made, as allowed by the partnership agreement, by the September 1998 Joint Venture from the Company and a receivable from the March 2005 Joint Venture relating to proceeds from the sale of a land parcel.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, the Company invested the following amounts in the Joint Ventures as well as received distributions and recognized fees from acquisition, disposition, property management, development and asset management services in the following amounts:

4. | Mortgage Loans Payable, Net, Senior Unsecured Debt, Net and Unsecured Line of Credit |
Mortgage Loans Payable: |
On January 12, 2005, in conjunction with the acquisition of a parcel of land, the seller provided the Company a mortgage loan in the amount of $1,167 (the “Acquisition Mortgage Loan XV”). The Acquisition Mortgage Loan XV is collateralized by a land parcel in Lebanon, TN, does not require principal payments prior to maturity on January 12, 2006 and has a 0% interest rate. Since the Acquisition Mortgage XV is non-interest bearing, a discount should be applied with an offsetting amount allocated to the basis of the land. The Company has concluded that the discount is not material and has not accounted for the discount or the land basis adjustment.
On March 31, 2005, the Company assumed a mortgage loan in the amount of $1,977 (the “Acquisition Mortgage Loan XVI”). The Acquisition Mortgage Loan XVI is collateralized by one property in New Hope, MN, bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.50% and provides for monthly principal and interest payments based on a 20-year amortization schedule. The Acquisition Mortgage Loan XVI matures on September 30, 2024. In conjunction with the assumption of the Acquisition Mortgage Loan XVI, the Company recorded a premium in the amount of $32 which will be amortized as an adjustment to interest expense through March 31, 2009. Including the impact of the premium recorded, the Company’s effective interest rate on the Acquisition Mortgage Loan XVI is 5.30%. The Acquisition Mortgage Loan XVI may be prepaid on April 1, 2009 without incurring a prepayment fee.
On June 27, 2005, the Company assumed a mortgage loan in the amount of $3,056 (the “Acquisition Mortgage Loan XVII”). The Acquisition Mortgage Loan XVII is collateralized by one property in Villa Rica, GA, bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.38% and provides for monthly principal and interest payments

based on a 15-year amortization schedule. The Acquisition Mortgage Loan XVII matures on May 1, 2016. In conjunction with the assumption of the Acquisition Mortgage Loan XVII, the Company recorded a premium in the amount of $258 which will be amortized as an adjustment to interest expense through May 1, 2016. Including the impact of the premium recorded, the Company’s effective interest rate on the Acquisition Mortgage Loan XVII is 5.70%. The Acquisition Mortgage Loan XVII may not be prepaid until maturity without incurring a prepayment fee.
On June 30, 2005, the Company assumed a mortgage loan in the amount of $6,513 (the “Acquisition Mortgage Loan XVIII”). The Acquisition Mortgage Loan XVIII is collateralized by one property in Hammonton, NJ, bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.58% and provides for monthly principal and interest payments based on a 20-year amortization schedule. The Acquisition Mortgage Loan XVIII matures on March 1, 2011. In conjunction with the assumption of the Acquisition Mortgage Loan XVIII, the Company recorded a premium in the amount of $749 which will be amortized as an adjustment to interest expense through November 30, 2010. Including the impact of the premium recorded, the Company’s effective interest rate on the Acquisition Mortgage Loan XVIII is 4.93%. The Acquisition Mortgage Loan XVIII may be prepaid on December 1, 2010 without incurring a prepayment fee.
On September 30, 2004, the Company assumed a mortgage loan in the amount of $12,057 and borrowed an additional $1,400 (collectively referred to as the “Acquisition Mortgage Loan XIII”). The Acquisition Mortgage Loan XIII was collateralized by three properties in Phoenix, Arizona, bore interest at a fixed rate of 5.60% and provided for monthly principal and interest payments based on a 30-year amortization schedule. The Acquisition Mortgage Loan XIII matures on November 10, 2012. In conjunction with the assumption of the Acquisition Mortgage Loan XIII, the Company recorded a premium in the amount of $467 which was being amortized over the remaining life of the Acquisition Mortgage Loan XIII as an adjustment to interest expense. On July 13, 2005, the Company sold the properties that collateralized the Acquisition Mortgage Loan XIII. In conjunction with the sale, the buyer assumed the Acquisition Mortgage Loan XIII and the Company paid $291 in fees related to the assignment of the Acquisition Mortgage Loan XIII. Consequently, the Company wrote-off the remaining premium on the note of $424. Both the $291 of financing fees and $424 premium write-off are included in the Gain on Early Retirement of Debt on the Company’s Statement of Operations.
Unsecured Line of Credit: |
On August 23, 2005, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, amended and restated its $300,000 unsecured line of credit (the “Unsecured Line of Credit”), which was due September 28, 2007, and bore interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus .7%, or the Prime Rate, at the Company’s election. The amended and restated unsecured line of credit (the “2005 Unsecured Line of Credit”) will mature on September 28, 2008, has a borrowing capacity of $500,000, with the right, subject to certain conditions, to increase the borrowing capacity up to $600,000 and bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus .625%, or the Prime Rate, at the Company’s election. The net unamortized deferred financing fees related to the Unsecured Line of Credit and any additional deferred financing fees incurred related to the 2005 Unsecured Line of Credit are being amortized over the life of the 2005 Unsecured Line of Credit in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 98-14, “Debtor’s Accounting for Changes in Line-of-Credit or Revolving-Debt Arrangements”, except for $51, which represents the write off of deferred financing costs and is included in the gain from early retirement of debt.

Other Comprehensive Income: |
In conjunction with the prior issuances of senior unsecured debt, the Company entered into interest rate protection agreements to fix the interest rate on anticipated offerings of senior unsecured debt. In the next 12 months, the Company will amortize approximately $1,059 into net income by reducing interest expense.
Derivatives: |
On January 13, 2005, the Company, through First Industrial Development Services, Inc., entered into an interest rate protection agreement which hedged the change in value of a build to suit development project the Company is in the process of constructing. This interest rate protection agreement has a notional value of $50,000, is based on the five year treasury, has a strike rate of 3.936% and settles on October 4, 2005. Per FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 133”), fair value and cash flow hedge accounting for hedges of non-financial assets and liabilities is limited to hedges of the risk of changes in the market price of the entire hedged item because changes in the price of an ingredient or component of a non-financial item generally do not have a predictable, separately measurable effect on the price of the item. Since the interest rate protection agreement is hedging a component of the change in value of the build to suit development, the interest rate protection agreement does not qualify for hedge accounting and the change in value of the interest rate protection agreement will be recognized immediately in net income as opposed to other comprehensive income. Included in mark-to-market/gain on settlement of interest rate protection agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 is the mark-to-market/gain on settlement of the IRPA as well as a deferred gain of $159 that was reclassed out of OCI relating to a settled interest rate protection agreement that no longer qualifies for hedge accounting under FAS 133. Accordingly, the Company recognized $1,212 and $749 in net gain from the mark-to-market of the interest rate protection agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively.

7. Sale of Real Estate, Real Estate Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company sold 66 industrial properties comprising approximately 9.0 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels. Gross proceeds from the sales of the 66 industrial properties and several land parcels were approximately $472,608. The gain on sale of real estate, net of income taxes was approximately $90,729. Fifty-six of the sixty-six sold industrial properties meet the criteria established by FAS 144 to be included in discontinued operations. Therefore, in accordance with FAS 144, the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate, net of income taxes for the 56 sold industrial properties that meet the criteria established by FAS 144 are included in discontinued operations.

the ten industrial properties and several land parcels that do not meet the criteria established by FAS 144 are included in continuing operations.
At September 30, 2005, the Company classified four industrial properties comprising approximately .09 million square feet of GLA as held for sale. In accordance with FAS 144, the results of operations of the four industrial properties held for sale at September 30, 2005 are included in discontinued operations.

The dilutive stock options excluded from the computation are 114,573 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 149,311 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The dilutive restricted stock excluded from the computation are 90,781 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 91,765 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
10. | Commitments and Contingencies |
In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in legal actions arising from the ownership of its properties. In management’s opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a materially adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, operations or liquidity of the Company.
The Company has committed to the construction of certain industrial properties totaling approximately 4.1 million square feet of GLA. The estimated total construction costs are approximately $206.6 million. Of this amount, approximately $107.1 million remains to be funded. There can be no assurance the actual completion cost will not exceed the estimated completion cost stated above.
At September 30, 2005, the Company had 16 letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate amount of $7,396. These letters of credit expire between March 2006 and April 2007.
11. | Restatement of Consolidated Statement of Operations |

From October 1, 2005 to November 2, 2005, the Company acquired 18 industrial properties and one land parcel for a purchase price of approximately $56,367 (approximately $1,172 of which was funded through the issuance of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“Units”)), excluding

costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of these industrial properties. The Company also sold four industrial properties and one land parcel for approximately $11,937 of gross proceeds during this time period.
On October 17, 2005, the Company and the Operating Partnership paid a third quarter 2005 dividend/distribution of $.6950 per common share/ Unit, totaling approximately $34,592.
On October 4, 2005, the Company settled the interest rate protection agreement which hedged the change in value of a build to suit development project the Company is in the process of constructing for proceeds of $675.
On October 17, 2005, the Company, through First Industrial Development Services, Inc., entered into an interest rate protection agreement which hedged the change in value of a build to suit development project the Company is in the process of constructing. This interest rate protection agreement has a notional value of $50,000, is based on the 3 Month LIBOR rate, has a strike rate of 4.8675%, and has an effective date of December 30, 2005 and a termination date of December 30, 2010. Per FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 133”), fair value and cash flow hedge accounting for hedges of non-financial assets and liabilities is limited to hedges of the risk of changes in the market price of the entire hedged item because changes in the price of an ingredient or component of a non-financial item generally do not have a predictable, separately measurable effect on the price of the item. Since the interest rate protection agreement is hedging a component of the change in value of the build to suit development, the interest rate protection agreement does not qualify for hedge accounting and the change in value of the interest rate protection agreement will be recognized immediately in net income as opposed to other comprehensive income.
On November 8, 2005, the Company issued 6,000,000 depositary shares, each representing 1/10,000 of a share of Series I Flexible Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $.01 par value (the “Series I Depositary Shares”), in a private placement at an initial offering price of $25.00 per depositary share for an aggregate initial offering price of $150,000. Dividends on the Series I Depositary Shares are payable monthly in arrears commencing December 31, 2005 at an initial dividend rate of One-Month LIBOR plus 1.25%, subject to reset on the four-month, six-month and one year anniversary of the date of issuance. Pursuant to the purchase agreement with respect to the Series I Depositary Shares, the Company, at its option, may issue, and the initial purchaser of the Series I Depositary Shares shall purchase, on or before November 18, 2005 an additional 4,000,000 shares of the Series I Depositary Shares at an initial offering price of $25.00 per depositary share.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion and analysis of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.’s (the “Company”) financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company, are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions. The Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on the operations and future prospects of the Company on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to, changes in: economic conditions generally and the real estate market specifically, legislative/regulatory changes (including changes to laws governing the taxation of real estate investment trusts), availability of financing, interest rate levels, competition, supply and demand for industrial properties in the Company’s current and proposed market areas, potential environmental liabilities, slippage in development or lease-up schedules, tenant credit risks, higher-than-expected costs and changes in general accounting principles, policies and guidelines applicable to real estate investment trusts. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Further information concerning the Company and its business, including additional factors that could materially affect the Company’s financial results, is included herein and in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
GENERAL
The Company was organized in the state of Maryland on August 10, 1993. The Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) as defined in the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). The Company’s operations are conducted primarily through First Industrial, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) of which the Company is the sole general partner with an approximate 86.8% ownership interest at September 30, 2005. Minority interest in the Company at September 30, 2005 represents the approximate 13.2% aggregate partnership interest in the Operating Partnership held by the limited partners thereof.
As of September 30, 2005, the Company owned 908 industrial properties (inclusive of developments in process) located in 27 states, containing an aggregate of approximately 75.9 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”). Of the 908 industrial properties owned by the Company, 559 are held by the Operating Partnership and limited liability companies of which the Operating Partnership is the sole member, 275 are held by limited partnerships in which the Operating Partnership is the limited partner and wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company are the general partners and 74 are held by an entity wholly-owned by the Operating Partnership.
On September 14, 2005 and March 21, 2005, the Company, through entities wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by the Operating Partnership, entered into a joint venture arrangements with an institutional investor to invest in industrial properties (the “September 2005 Joint Venture” and “March 2005 Joint Venture”). The Company, through entities wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by the Operating Partnership, owns a ten percent equity interest in and provides property management, leasing, development, disposition and portfolio management services to the September 2005 Joint Venture and the March 2005 Joint Venture. In addition, the Company has the opportunity to earn performance-based incentives when industrial assets are sold and returns exceed certain thresholds.
The Company, through separate, wholly-owned limited liability companies of which the Operating Partnership is the sole member, also owns minority equity interests in, and provides asset and property

Table of Contents
management services to, two other joint ventures which invest in industrial properties (the “September 1998 Joint Venture” and the “May 2003 Joint Venture”). The Company, through separate, wholly-owned limited liability companies of which the Operating Partnership is also the sole member, also owned a minority interest in and provided property management services to another joint venture which invested in industrial properties (the “December 2001 Joint Venture”; together with the September 2005 Joint Venture, the March 2005 Joint Venture, the September 1998 Joint Venture and the May 2003 Joint Venture, the “Joint Ventures”). During the year ended December 31, 2004, the December 2001 Joint Venture sold all of its industrial properties. The operating data of the Joint Ventures is not consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein.
MANAGEMENT’S OVERVIEW
Management believes the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are, primarily, a function of the Company’s performance in four key areas: leasing of industrial properties, acquisition and development of additional industrial properties, redeployment of internal capital and access to external capital.
The Company generates revenue primarily from rental income and tenant recoveries from the lease of industrial properties under long-term (generally three to six years) operating leases. 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. The Company’s revenue growth is dependent, in part, on its ability to (i) increase rental income, through increasing either or both occupancy rates and rental rates at the Company’s 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 the Company’s properties (as discussed below), for the Company’s distributions. 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 the control of the Company. The leasing of property also entails various risks, including the risk of tenant default. If the Company were unable to maintain or increase occupancy rates and rental rates at the Company’s properties or to maintain tenant recoveries and operating and certain other expenses consistent with historical levels and proportions, the Company’s revenue growth would be limited. Further, if a significant number of the Company’s tenants were unable to pay rent (including tenant recoveries) or if the Company were unable to rent its properties on favorable terms, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, the Company’s common stock would be adversely affected.
The Company’s revenue growth is also dependent, in part, on its ability to acquire existing, and acquire and develop new, additional industrial properties on favorable terms. The Company continually seeks to acquire existing industrial properties on favorable terms, and, when conditions permit, also seeks to acquire and develop new industrial properties on favorable terms. Existing properties, as they are acquired, and acquired and developed properties, as they lease-up, generate revenue from rental income and tenant recoveries, income from which, as discussed above, is a source of funds for the Company’s 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 the control of the Company. The acquisition and development of properties also entails various risks, including the risk that the Company’s 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, the Company may not be able to complete construction on schedule or within budget, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs and delays in leasing the properties. Also, the Company faces significant competition for attractive acquisition and development opportunities from other well-capitalized real estate investors, including both publicly-traded real estate investment trusts and private investors. Further, as discussed below, the

Company may not be able to finance the acquisition and development opportunities it identifies. If the Company were unable to acquire and develop sufficient additional properties on favorable terms, or if such investments did not perform as expected, the Company’s revenue growth would be limited and its financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, the Company’s common stock would be adversely affected.
The Company also generates income from the sale of properties (including existing buildings, buildings which the Company has developed or re-developed on a merchant basis, and land). The Company is continually engaged in, and its income growth is dependent in part on, systematically redeploying its capital from properties and other assets with lower yield potential into properties and other assets with higher yield potential. As part of that process, the Company sells, on an ongoing basis, select stabilized properties or properties offering lower potential returns relative to their market value. The gain/loss on the sale of such properties is included in the Company’s income and is a significant source of funds, in addition to revenues generated from rental income and tenant recoveries, for the Company’s distributions. Also, a significant portion of the proceeds from such sales is 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 the control of the Company. The sale of properties also entails various risks, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of the Company’s properties. Further, the Company’s 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 the Company were unable to sell properties on favorable terms, the Company’s income growth would be limited and its financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, the Company’s common stock would be adversely affected.
Currently, the Company utilizes a portion of the net sales proceeds from property sales, borrowings under unsecured lines of credit and proceeds from the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional equity securities to finance acquisitions and developments. Access to external capital on favorable terms plays a key role in the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, as it impacts the Company’s cost of capital and its ability and cost to refinance existing indebtedness as it matures and to fund acquisitions and developments through the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional equity securities. The Company’s ability to access external capital on favorable terms is dependent on various factors, including general market conditions, interest rates, credit ratings on the Company’s capital stock and debt, the market’s perception of the Company’s growth potential, the Company’s current and potential future earnings and cash distributions and the market price of the Company’s capital stock. If the Company were unable to access external capital on favorable terms, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, the Company’s common stock would be adversely affected.
RESTATEMENT
In the consolidated statement of operations and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 presented in its Form 10-Q filed November 9, 2004, the Company allocated its entire tax provision/benefit to income from discontinued operations. The Company has determined that its tax provision/benefit should be allocated between income from continuing operations, income from discontinued operations and gain on sale of real estate. The Company has restated its consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to reflect this new allocation in this Form 10-Q.

amended and restated on August 23, 2005. The gain on early retirement of debt also includes payment of $.29 million of financing fees and write-off of loan premium of $.42 million on the Acquisition Mortgage Loan XIII which was assigned to the buyers of the properties collateralizing the Acquisition Mortgage Loan XIII on July 13, 2005.
Interest income decreased by approximately $1.8 million due primarily to a decrease in the average mortgage loans receivable outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
Interest expense increased by approximately $5.8 million primarily due to an increase in the weighted average debt balance outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 ($1,642.0 million), as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004 ($1,505.9 million), as well as an increase in the weighted average interest rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 (6.66%), as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004 (6.60%), offset by an increase in capitalized interest.
The Company recognized $.7 million relating to the mark-to-market of an interest rate protection agreement that was entered into in January 2005 in order to hedge the change in value of a build to suit development project as well as a deferred gain that was reclassed out of Other Comprehensive Income relating to a settled interest rate protection agreement that no longer qualifies for hedge accounting treatment.
Equity in income of joint ventures decreased by approximately $33.6 million due primarily to the gain recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 related to the sale of all of the properties in the December 2001 Joint Venture.
Income tax benefit increased by $4.0 million due primarily to an increase in general and administrative expense (“G&A”) due to additional G&A costs, which increases operating losses incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004 associated with additional investment activity in the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary. The increase in the income tax benefit is partially offset by an increase in state tax expense.
The $27.3 million gain on sale of real estate for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 resulted from the sale of ten industrial properties and several land parcels that do not meet the criteria established by FAS 144 for inclusion in discontinued operations.

The Company recognized $.08 million gain on the early retirement of debt. This includes $.05 million write-off of financing fees associated with the Company’s previous line of credit agreement which was amended and restated on August 23, 2005. The gain on early retirement of debt also includes payment of $.29 million financing fees and write-off of loan premium of $.42 million on the Acquisition Mortgage Loan XIII which was assigned to the buyers of the properties collateralizing the Acquisition Mortgage Loan XIII on July 13, 2005.
Interest income decreased by approximately $1.1 million due primarily to a decrease in the average mortgage loans receivable outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004.
Interest expense increased by approximately $1.7 million primarily due to an increase in the weighted average debt balance outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2005 ($1,712.7 million), as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004 ($1,611.6 million), as well as an increase in the weighted average interest rate for the three months ended September 30, 2005 (6.56%), as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004 (6.42%).
The Company recognized $1.2 million relating to the mark-to-market of an interest rate protection agreement that was entered into in January 2005 in order to hedge the change in value of a build to suit development project as well as a deferred gain that was reclassed out of Other Comprehensive Income relating to a settled interest rate protection agreement that no longer qualifies for hedge accounting treatment.
Equity in income of joint ventures decreased by approximately $32.8 million due primarily to the gain recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2004 related to the sale of all of the properties in the December 2001 Joint Venture.
Income tax benefit increased by $2.3 million due primarily to an increase in general and administrative expense (“G&A”) due to additional G&A costs, which increases operating losses, incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004 associated with additional investment activity in the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary. The increase in the income tax benefit is partially offset by an increase in state tax expense.
The $2.6 million gain on sale of real estate for the three months ended September 30, 2005 resulted from the sale of one industrial property and several land parcels that do not meet the criteria established by FAS 144 for inclusion in discontinued operations.

Income from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2004, reflects the results of operations of 25 industrial properties that were sold during the three months ended September 30, 2005, 92 industrial properties that were sold during the year ended December 31, 2004, four industrial properties identified as held for sale at September 30, 2005, as well as the gain on sale of real estate from 16 industrial properties which were sold during the three months ended September 30, 2004.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has considered its short-term (one year or less) liquidity needs and the adequacy of its estimated cash flow from operations and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. The Company believes that its principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring expenses, debt service requirements and the minimum distribution required to maintain the Company’s REIT qualification under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company anticipates that these needs will be met with cash flows provided by operating activities.
The Company expects to meet long-term (greater than one year) liquidity requirements such as property acquisitions, developments, scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements principally through the disposition of select assets, and the issuance of long-term unsecured indebtedness and equity securities. As of September 30, 2005 and November 2, 2005, $464.7 million of common stock, preferred stock and depositary shares and $500.0 million of debt securities were registered and unissued under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company also may finance the development or acquisition of additional properties through borrowings under unsecured lines of credit. At September 30, 2005, borrowings under the Operating Partnership’s $500 million unsecured line of credit (the “2005 Unsecured Line of Credit”) bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 4.52%. The 2005 Unsecured Line of Credit bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus .625%, or the Prime Rate, at the Operating Partnership’s election. As of November 2, 2005 approximately $50.1 million was available for additional borrowings under the 2005 Unsecured Line of Credit.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005
Net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $37.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was comprised primarily of net income before minority interest of approximately $70.0 million offset by adjustments for non-cash items of approximately $25.1 million and by the net change in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $7.9 million. The adjustments for the non-cash items of approximately $25.1 million are primarily comprised of the gain on sale of real estate of approximately $113.1 million, the effect of the straight-lining of rental income of approximately $6.5 million, the mark to market of an interest rate protection agreement of approximately $0.7 million, and the net equity in income from joint ventures of approximately $3.2 million offset by depreciation and amortization of approximately $97.1 million and the provision for bad debt of $1.4 million.
Net cash used in investing activities of approximately $146.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was comprised primarily by the acquisition and development of real estate, leasing costs and capital expenditures related to the expansion and improvement of existing real estate, contributions to, and investments in, two of the Company’s industrial real estate joint ventures partially offset by the net proceeds from the sale of real estate, the repayment of mortgage loans receivable and distributions from three of the Company’s industrial real estate joint ventures.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company acquired 86 industrial properties comprising approximately 12.0 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels. The gross purchase price for 85 industrial properties and several land parcels totaled approximately $415.9 million. Additionally, one industrial property was acquired through foreclosure due to a defaulted note receivable.

Table of Contents
The Company, through a wholly-owned limited liability company in which the Operating Partnership is the sole member, invested approximately $40.1 million and received distributions of approximately $1.2 million from the Company’s real estate joint ventures. As of September 30, 2005, the Company’s industrial real estate joint ventures owned 298 industrial properties comprising approximately 23.5 million square feet of GLA.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company sold 66 industrial properties comprising approximately 9.0 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels. Gross proceeds from the sales of the 66 industrial properties and several land parcels were approximately $472.6 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $104.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was comprised primarily of net receipts under the Company’s Unsecured Line of Credit, the net proceeds from the exercise of stock options and proceeds from mortgage loan payable partially offset by common and preferred stock dividends and unit distributions, the repurchase of restricted stock from employees of the Company to pay for withholding taxes on the vesting of restricted stock, repayments on mortgage loans payable and costs related to the assumption of debt.
On August 23, 2005, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, amended and restated its $300.0 million unsecured line of credit (the “Unsecured Line of Credit”), which was due September 28, 2007, and bore interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus .7%, or the Prime Rate, at the Company’s election. The amended and restated unsecured line of credit (the “2005 Unsecured Line of Credit”) will mature on September 28, 2008, has a borrowing capacity of $500.0 million, with the right, subject to certain conditions, to increase the borrowing capacity up to $600.0 million and bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus .625%, or the Prime Rate, at the Company’s election. The net unamortized deferred financing fees related to the Unsecured Line of Credit and any additional deferred financing fees incurred related to the 2005 Unsecured Line of Credit are being amortized over the life of the 2005 Unsecured Line of Credit in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 98-14, “Debtor’s Accounting for Changes in Line-of-Credit or Revolving-Debt Arrangements”, except for $.1 million, which represents the write off of deferred financing costs and is included in the net gain on early retirement of debt.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company awarded 189,878 shares of restricted common stock to certain employees and 9,135 shares of restricted common stock to certain Directors. These shares of restricted common stock had a fair value of approximately $8.3 million on the date of grant. The restricted common stock vests over periods from one to ten years. Compensation expense will be charged to earnings over the respective vesting periods.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, certain employees of the Company exercised 247,764 non-qualified employee stock options. Net proceeds to the Company were approximately $6.7 million.
Market Risk
The following discussion about the Company’s 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.
This analysis presents the hypothetical gain or loss in earnings, cash flows or fair value of the financial instruments and derivative instruments which are held by the Company at September 30, 2005 that are sensitive to changes in the interest rates. While this analysis may have some use as a benchmark, it should not be viewed as a forecast.
In the normal course of business, the Company also faces 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 September 30, 2005, approximately $1,406.6 million (approximately 78.7% of total debt at September 30, 2005) of the Company’s debt was fixed rate debt and approximately $380.5 million
33
Table of Contents
(approximately 21.3% of total debt at September 30, 2005) was variable rate debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Operating Partnership, through First Industrial Development Services, Inc., entered into an interest rate protection agreement which hedged the change in value of a build to suit development project the Company is in the process of constructing. This interest rate protection agreement has a notional value of $50.0 million, is based on the five year treasury, has a strike rate of 3.936% and settles on October 4, 2005. Currently, the Company does not enter into financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt, but not earnings or cash flows of the Company. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in the interest rate generally do not impact the fair value of the debt, but would affect the Company’s 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 the Company until the Company is required to refinance such debt. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the maturity dates of the Company’s various fixed rate debt.
Based upon the amount of variable rate debt outstanding at September 30, 2005, a 10% increase or decrease in the interest rate on the Company’s variable rate debt would decrease or increase, respectively, future net income and cash flows by approximately $1.7 million per year. A 10% increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of the fixed rate debt at September 30, 2005 by approximately $48.2 million to $1,489.7 million. A 10% decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value of the fixed rate debt at September 30, 2005 by approximately $51.7 million to $1,589.7 million.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In December, 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets — An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29” (“FAS 153”). The amendments made by FAS 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have “commercial substance.” FAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe that the adoption of FAS 153 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December, 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123: (Revised 2004) — Share-Based Payment (“FAS 123R”). FAS 123R replaces FAS 123, which the Company adopted on January 1, 2003. FAS 123R requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements and measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. FAS 123R is effective as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December, 2005. The Company does not believe that the adoption of FAS 123R will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May, 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“FAS 154”) which supersedes APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”. FAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of changes in accounting principle. The statement requires the retroactive application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principles, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. FAS 154 does not change the guidance for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements or the change in an accounting estimate. FAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
In June, 2005, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) regarding EITF 04-05, “Investor’s Accounting for an Investment in a Limited Partnership
34
Table of Contents
When the Investor is the Sole General Partner and the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights.” The conclusion provides a framework for addressing the question of when a sole general partner, as defined in EITF 04-05, should consolidate a limited partnership. The EITF has concluded that the general partner of a limited partnership should consolidate a limited partnership unless (1) the limited partners possess substantive kick-out rights as defined in paragraph B20 of FIN 46R, or (2) the limited partners possess substantive participating rights similar to the rights described in Issue 96-16, “Investor’s Accounting for an Investee When the Investor has a Majority of the Voting Interest by the Minority Shareholder or Shareholders Have Certain Approval or Veto Rights.” In addition, the EITF concluded that the guidance should be expanded to include all limited partnerships, including those with multiple general partners. The Company will adopt EITF 04-05 as of December 31, 2005. The Company is currently assessing all of its investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures to determine the impact, if any, the adoption of EITF 04-05 will have on results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
In June 2005, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the EITF regarding EITF No. 05-6, “Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements.” The guidance requires that leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination, or purchased subsequent to the inception of a lease, be amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes renewals that are reasonably assured at the date of the business combination or purchase. The guidance is effective for periods beginning after June 29, 2005. EITF 05-6 does not impact the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.
Subsequent Events
From October 1, 2005 to November 2, 2005, the Company acquired 18 industrial properties and one land parcel for a purchase price of approximately $56.4 million (approximately $1.2 million of which was made through the issuance of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“Units”)), excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of these industrial properties. The Company also sold four industrial properties and one land parcel for approximately $11.9 million of gross proceeds during this time period.
On October 17, 2005, the Company and the Operating Partnership paid a third quarter 2005 dividend/distribution of $.6950 per common share/ Unit, totaling approximately $34.6 million.
On October 4, 2005, the Company settled the interest rate protection agreement which hedged the change in value of a build to suit development project the Company is in the process of constructing for proceeds of $675.
On October 17, 2005, the Company, through First Industrial Development Services, Inc., entered into an interest rate protection agreement which hedged the change in value of a build to suit development project the Company is in the process of constructing. This interest rate protection agreement has a notional value of $50 million, is based on the 3 Month LIBOR rate, has a strike rate of 4.8675%, and has an effective date of December 30, 2005 and a termination date of December 30, 2010. Per FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 133”), fair value and cash flow hedge accounting for hedges of non-financial assets and liabilities is limited to hedges of the risk of changes in the market price of the entire hedged item because changes in the price of an ingredient or component of a non-financial item generally do not have a predictable, separately measurable effect on the price of the item. Since the interest rate protection agreement is hedging a component of the change in value of the build to suit development, the interest rate protection agreement does not qualify for hedge accounting and the change in value of the interest rate protection agreement will be recognized immediately in net income as opposed to other comprehensive income.
On November 8, 2005, the Company issued 6,000,000 depositary shares, each representing 1/10,000 of a share of Series I Flexible Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $.01 par value (the “Series I Depositary Shares”), in a private placement at an initial offering price of $25.00 per depositary share for an aggregate initial offering price of $150 million. Dividends on the Series I Depositary Shares are payable

monthly in arrears commencing December 31, 2005 at an initial dividend rate of One-Month LIBOR plus 1.25%, subject to reset on the four-month, six-month and one year anniversary of the date of issuance. Pursuant to the purchase agreement with respect to the Series I Depositary Shares, the Company, at its option, may issue, and the initial purchaser of the Series I Depositary Shares shall purchase, on or before November 18, 2005 an additional 4,000,000 shares of the Series I Depositary Shares at an initial offering price of $25.00 per depositary share.
