responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement based on our

         We conducted our audit of this statement in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statement. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         The accompanying combined historical statement of revenues and certain
expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Form
8-K/A No. 1 dated December 29, 2000 of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. and
is not intended to be a complete presentation of the 2000 Acquisition I

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

         The Combined Historical Statements of Revenues and Certain Expenses
(the "Statements") combined the results of operations of 18 operating industrial
properties acquired by First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries
(the "Company") on June 30, 2000 (the "2000 Acquisition I Properties").

         The 2000 Acquisition I Properties were acquired for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $44.3 million.

         The unaudited Combined Historical Statement of Revenues and Certain
Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 includes the operations
through June 30, 2000 for which the 2000 Acquisition I Properties were not owned
by the Company and reflects, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of the interim statement. All such adjustments
are of a normal and recurring nature.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

         The Statements exclude certain expenses such as interest, depreciation
and amortization, professional fees, and other costs not directly related to the
future operations of the 2000 Acquisition I Properties that may not be
comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred in future operations.
Management is not aware of any material factors relating to these properties
which would cause the reported financial information not to be necessarily
indicative of future operating results.

         In order to conform with generally accepted accounting principles,
management, in preparation of the Statements, is required to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and certain expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.


Revenue and Expense Recognition

         The Statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

         Rental income is recorded when due from tenants based upon lease terms.
The effects of scheduled rent increases and rental concessions, if any, are
recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the tenant's lease. Tenant
recovery income includes payments from tenants for taxes, insurance and other
property operating expenses and is recognized as revenue in the same period the
related expenses are incurred.

3.       FUTURE RENTAL REVENUES

         The 2000 Acquisition I Properties are leased to tenants under net,
semi-net and gross operating leases. Minimum lease payments receivable,
excluding tenant reimbursement of expenses, under noncancelable operating leases
in effect as of December 31, 1999 are approximately as follows:

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

         The Combined Historical Statements of Revenues and Certain Expenses
(the "Statements") combined the results of operations of 18 operating industrial
properties acquired by First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries
(the "Company") on December 18, 2000 (the "2000 Acquisition III Properties").

         The 2000 Acquisition III Properties were acquired for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $52.6 million.

         The unaudited Combined Historical Statement of Revenues and Certain
Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 reflects, in the opinion
of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim
statement. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

         The Statements exclude certain expenses such as interest, depreciation
and amortization, professional fees, and other costs not directly related to the
future operations of the 2000 Acquisition III Properties that may not be
comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred in future operations.
Management is not aware of any material factors relating to these properties
which would cause the reported financial information not to be necessarily
indicative of future operating results.

         In order to conform with generally accepted accounting principles,
management, in preparation of the Statements, is required to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and certain expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue and Expense Recognition

         The Statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

         Rental income is recorded when due from tenants based upon lease terms.
The effects of scheduled rent increases and rental concessions, if any, are
recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the tenant's lease. Tenant
recovery income includes payments from tenants for taxes, insurance and other
property operating expenses and is recognized as revenue in the same period the
related expenses are incurred.

3.       FUTURE RENTAL REVENUES

         The 2000 Acquisition III Properties are leased to tenants under net,
semi-net and gross operating leases. Minimum lease payments receivable,
excluding tenant reimbursement of expenses, under noncancelable operating leases
in effect as of December 31, 1999 are approximately as follows:

                       FIRST INDUSTRIAL REALTY TRUST, INC.
                     NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.           BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

         First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries,
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 Company acquired 81 operating industrial properties from unrelated
parties during the period January 1, 2000 through December 29, 2000. The
combined purchase price of the 81 operating industrial properties acquired
totaled approximately $262.0 million, excluding closing costs incurred in
conjunction with the acquisition of the industrial properties. The 81 operating
industrial properties acquired were funded with proceeds from property sales,
borrowings under the Company's $300 million unsecured revolving credit facility
(the "2000 Unsecured Acquisition Facility") or working capital. The Company will
operate the facilities as industrial rental property.

         The accompanying unaudited September 30, 2000 pro forma balance sheet
and unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the period January 1, 2000
through September 30, 2000 reflect the historical financial position of the
Company as of September 30, 2000 and the historical operations of the Company
for the period January 1, 2000 through September 30, 2000, adjusted by the
acquisition of 33 operating industrial properties (the "2000 Acquisition A
Properties"), 18 operating industrial properties (the "2000 Acquisition I
Properties"), 12 operating industrial properties (the "2000 Acquisition II
Properties") and 18 operating industrial properties (the "2000 Acquisition III
Properties") during the period January 1, 2000 through December 29, 2000 and the
sale of 109 industrial properties and several land parcels (the "2000
Disposition A Properties") during the period January 1, 2000 through December
29, 2000. The aggregate gross sales price of the 2000 Disposition A Properties
totaled approximately $433.7 million.

                     NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.           BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

         First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries,
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 Company acquired 81 operating industrial properties from unrelated
parties during the period January 1, 2000 through December 29, 2000. The
combined purchase price of the 81 operating industrial properties acquired
totaled approximately $262.0 million, excluding closing costs incurred in
conjunction with the acquisition of the industrial properties. The 81 operating
industrial properties acquired were funded with proceeds from property sales,
borrowings under the Company's $300 million unsecured revolving credit facility
(the "2000 Unsecured Acquisition Facility") or working capital. The Company will
operate the facilities as industrial rental property.

         The accompanying unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the
Company reflects the historical operations of the Company for the period January
1, 1999 through December 31, 1999, adjusted by the acquisition of 33 operating
industrial properties (the "2000 Acquisition A Properties"), 18 operating
industrial properties (the "2000 Acquisition I Properties"), 12 operating
industrial properties (the "2000 Acquisition II Properties") and 18 operating
industrial properties (the "2000 Acquisition III Properties") during the period
January 1, 2000 through December 29, 2000 and the sale of 109 industrial
properties and several land parcels (the "2000 Disposition A Properties") during
the period January 1, 2000 through December 29, 2000. The aggregate gross sales
price of the 2000 Disposition A Properties totaled approximately $433.7 million.

         The accompanying unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the
year ended December 31, 1999 has been prepared as if the properties acquired or
sold subsequent to December 31, 1999 had been acquired or sold, respectively, on
January 1, 1999.

         The unaudited pro forma statement of operations is not necessarily
indicative of what the Company's results of operations would have been for the
year ended December 31, 1999 had the transactions been consummated as described
above, nor does it purport to present the future results of operations of the
Company.

                     NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  (g)  The interest expense adjustment reflects an increase in the acquisition
       facility borrowings at the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")
       plus .8% for borrowings under the Company's 2000 Unsecured Acquisition
       Facility for the assumed earlier purchase of the 2000 Acquisition A
       Properties, the 2000 Acquisition I Properties, the 2000 Acquisition II
       Properties and the 2000 Acquisition III Properties, offset by the
       interest savings related to the assumed repayment of acquisition facility
       borrowings at LIBOR plus .8% on January 1, 1999 from the proceeds of the
       sales of the 2000 Disposition A Properties as if the sales occurred on
       January 1, 1999.

       The depreciation and amortization adjustment reflects the charges for the
       2000 Acquisition A Properties, the 2000 Acquisition I Properties, the
       2000 Acquisition II Properties and the 2000 Acquisition III Properties
       from January 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999, as if such properties
       were acquired on January 1, 1999.

       Income allocated to minority interest reflects income attributable to
       Units owned by unitholders other than the Company. The minority interest
       adjustment reflects a weighted average 16.0% minority interest for the
       twelve months ended December 31, 1999.
