(a) For purposes of computing the ratios of earnings to fixed charges, earnings have been calculated by adding fixed charges (excluding capitalized interest) to income from continuing operations before income taxes allocable to continuing operations. Fixed charges consist of interest costs, whether expensed or capitalized, and amortization of deferred financing costs.

(b) Due to First Industrial L.P.’s (“the Consolidated Operating Partnership”) loss from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007, the ratio coverage is less than 1:1. The Consolidated Operating Partnership must generate additional earnings of $27,967, $150,400, $32,751, $81,624 and $77,959 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007 to achieve a ratio coverage of 1:1.

  * Interest Expense includes Discontinued Operations Interest Expense of $63, $268, $653, $713 and $746 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007.
