FIRST INDUSTRIAL REALTY TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
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 85.1%
ownership interest at June 30, 2002. Minority interest in the Company at June
30, 2002 represents the approximate 14.9% aggregate partnership interest in the
Operating Partnership held by the limited partners thereof.
As of June 30, 2002, the Company owned 906 in-service properties located in
24 states, containing an aggregate of approximately 63.3 million square feet of
gross leasable area ("GLA"). Of the 906 in-service properties owned by the
Company, 763 are held by the Operating Partnership, 118 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, 11 are held
by limited liability companies of which the Operating Partnership is the sole
member and 14 are held by an entity wholly-owned by the Operating Partnership.
The Company, through 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, three joint ventures
which invest in industrial properties (the "September 1998 Joint Venture", the
"September 1999 Joint Venture" and the "December 2001 Joint Venture").
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 2001 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, 2001 audited financial statements included in
the Company's 2001 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 amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of June 30,
2002 and December 31, 2001, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
for each of the six and three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consist of normal recurring
adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of the
Company as of June 30, 2002, the results of its operations for each of the six
and three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and its cash flows for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.
Tenant Accounts Receivable, Net:
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts against the portion
of tenants accounts receivable which is estimated to be uncollectible. Tenant
accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets are shown net of an
allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $2,050 as of June 30, 2002 and
December 31, 2001.

FIRST INDUSTRIAL REALTY TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
Discontinued Operations:
On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards
Board's ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets" ("FAS 144").
FAS 144 addresses final 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 properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2001 that were not
classified as held for sale at December 31, 2001 and the results of operations
from properties that were classified as held for sale subsequent to December 31,
2001 be presented in discontinued operations. 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
On April 30, 2002, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 145,
"Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 13, and Technical Corrections" ("FAS 145"). FAS 145 rescinds both Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from
Extinguishment of Debt" ("FAS 4"), and the amendment to FAS 4, Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 64, "Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy
Sinking-Fund Requirements". FAS 145 eliminates the requirement that gains and
losses from the extinguishment of debt be aggregated and, if material,
classified as an extraordinary item, net of the related income tax effect,
unless the criteria in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting
the Results of Operations- Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a
Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
Transactions" are met. FAS 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May
15, 2002. The Company believes that FAS 145 will not have an impact on its
consolidated financial position, liquidity and results of operations.
Reclassification:
Certain 2001 items have been reclassified to conform to the 2002
presentation.
3. INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company, through
wholly-owned limited liability companies in which the Operating Partnership is
the sole member, recognized approximately $454 in asset management fees from the
September 1998 Joint Venture and the September 1999 Joint Venture, and
approximately $556 in property management fees from the September 1998 Joint
Venture, the September 1999 Joint Venture and the December 2001 Joint Venture.
The Company, through a wholly-owned limited liability company in which the
Operating Partnership is the sole member, invested approximately $3,104 in the
December 2001 Joint Venture. The Company, through wholly-owned limited liability
companies in which the Operating Partnership is the sole member, received
distributions of approximately $755 from the September 1998 Joint Venture, the
September 1999 Joint Venture and the December 2001 Joint Venture. As of June 30,
2002, the September 1998 Joint Venture owned 90 industrial properties comprising
approximately 4.3 million square feet of GLA, the September 1999 Joint Venture
owned 31 industrial properties comprising approximately .8 million square feet
of GLA and the December 2001 Joint Venture had economic interests in 14
industrial properties comprising approximately 2.5 million square feet of GLA.
The properties purchased by the December 2001 Joint Venture were purchased from
the Company. The Company deferred 15% of the gain resulting from these sales,
which is equal to the Company's economic interest in the December 2001 Joint
Venture.

4. MORTGAGE LOANS PAYABLE, NET, SENIOR UNSECURED DEBT, NET AND ACQUISITION
FACILITY PAYABLE
Mortgage Loans Payable, Net:
On December 29, 1995, the Company, through an entity in which the Operating
Partnership is the sole limited partner and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company is the general partner (the "Mortgage Partnership"), entered into a
$40,200 mortgage loan (the "1995 Mortgage Loan"). In January 2002, the Company
purchased approximately $.8 million of U.S. Government securities as substitute
collateral to execute a legal defeasance of approximately $.8 million of the
1995 Mortgage Loan. In June 2002, the Company purchased approximately $1.9
million of U.S. Government securities as substitute collateral to execute a
legal defeasance of approximately $1.9 million of the 1995 Mortgage Loan. The
terms of the legal defeasance require the Mortgage Partnership to use the gross
proceeds from the maturities of the U.S. Government securities to pay down and
subsequently retire the defeased portion of the 1995 Mortgage Loan in January
2003. The Company is carrying the defeased portion of the 1995 Mortgage Loan on
its balance sheet until it pays down and retires the defeased portion of the
1995 Mortgage Loan in January 2003. Upon the executions of the legal
defeasances, two of the 21 properties collateralizing the 1995 Mortgage Loan
were released and subsequently sold.
On April 1, 2002, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, assumed a

(the "Interest Rate Swap Agreement") which fixed the interest rate on a portion
of the Company's outstanding borrowings on its $300,000 unsecured revolving
credit facility (the "2000 Unsecured Acquisition Facility"). The Company
designated this transaction as a cash flow hedge. The Interest Rate Swap
Agreement has a notional value of $25,000, is effective from February 4, 2002
through February 4, 2003 and fixed the LIBOR Rate at 2.4975%. Any payments or
receipts from the Interest Rate Swap Agreement will be treated as a component of
interest expense. The Company anticipates that the Interest Rate Swap Agreement
will be highly effective and, as a result, the change in value will be shown in
other comprehensive income.

The Company has committed to the construction of 34 development projects
totaling approximately 4.4 million square feet of GLA for an estimated
investment of approximately $214.9 million. Of this amount, approximately $48.4
million remains to be funded. These developments are expected to be funded with
proceeds from the sale of select properties, cash flows from operations and
borrowings under the Company's 2000 Unsecured Acquisition Facility. The Company
expects to place in service all of the development projects during the next
twelve months. There can be no assurance that the Company will place these
projects in service during the next twelve months or that the actual completion
cost will not exceed the estimated completion cost stated above.

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'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 85.1% ownership interest at June 30, 2002.
Minority interest in the Company at June 30, 2002 represents the approximate
14.9% aggregate partnership interest in the Operating Partnership held by the
limited partners thereof.
As of June 30, 2002, the Company owned 906 in-service properties located in
24 states, containing an aggregate of approximately 63.3 million square feet of
gross leasable area ("GLA"). Of the 906 in-service properties owned by the
Company, 763 are held by the Operating Partnership, 118 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, 11 are held
by limited liability companies of which the Operating Partnership is the sole
member and 14 are held by an entity wholly-owned by the Operating Partnership.
The Company, through 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 three joint ventures
which invest in industrial properties (the "September 1998 Joint Venture", the
"September 1999 Joint Venture" and the "December 2001 Joint Venture").
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
At June 30, 2002, the Company owned 906 in-service properties with
approximately 63.3 million square feet of GLA, compared to 947 in-service
properties with approximately 65.8 million square feet of GLA at June 30, 2001.
During the period between July 1, 2001 and June 30, 2002, the Company acquired
62 in-service properties containing approximately 5.3 million square feet of
GLA, one out of service property with approximately .1 million square feet of
GLA, completed development of seven properties totaling approximately 1.1
million square feet of GLA and sold 109 in-service properties totaling
16
approximately 8.4 million square feet of GLA, four out of service properties and
several land parcels. The Company also took four properties out of service that
are under redevelopment, comprising approximately .7 million square feet of GLA,
and placed in service three properties comprising approximately .2 million
square feet of GLA.
COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001
Rental income and tenant recoveries and other income decreased by
approximately $12.9 million or 6.8% due primarily to a decrease in average
occupied GLA for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2001. Rental income and tenant recoveries and other income
from properties owned prior to January 1, 2001 decreased by approximately $1.4
million or .9% due primarily to a decrease in occupancy for the six months ended
June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001.
Property expenses, which include real estate taxes, repairs and
maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other expenses
decreased by approximately $1.6 million or 2.8%. This decrease is due primarily
to decreases in real estate taxes, utilities and other expenses, offset by an
increase in repairs and maintenance. The decrease in real estate taxes and
utilities is primarily due to a decrease in average GLA owned for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001. The
decrease in other expense is primarily due to a decrease in bad debt expense and
a decrease in master lease payments. The increase in repairs and maintenance is
primarily due to an increase in maintenance expenses as well as snow removal and
related expenses. Property expenses from properties owned prior to January 1,
2001 increased by approximately $1.4 million or 3.2% due primarily to an
increase in real estate taxes and repairs and maintenance. The increase in
real estate taxes is primarily due to an increase in real estate taxes in many
of the Company's markets. The increase in repairs and maintenance is due
primarily to the explanation above.
General and administrative expense increased by approximately $.4 million
due primarily to increases in employee compensation and additional employees for
the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months ended June 30,
2001, offset by the write-off of the Company's technology investment in the
second quarter of 2001.
Interest expense increased by approximately $.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001 due primarily
to a higher average debt balance outstanding for the six months ended June 30,
2002 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001. The average debt balance
outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was approximately
$1,392.9 million and $ 1,310.5 million, respectively. This was offset by a
decrease in the weighted average interest rate on the Company's outstanding debt
for the six months ended June 30, 2002 (6.85%) as compared to the six months
ended June 30, 2001 (7.19%), as well as an increase in capitalized interest due
to an increase in development activities.
Amortization of deferred financing costs remained relatively unchanged.
Depreciation and other amortization increased by approximately $3.8 million
due primarily to a decrease in the number of properties the Company considered
held for sale at June 30, 2002 as compared to June 30, 2001.
Equity in income of joint ventures increased by approximately $.1 million
or 32.1% due primarily to an increase in gain on sale of real estate and the
start up of one of the Company's joint ventures in December 2001.
17
The approximate $3.3 million gain on sale of real estate for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 resulted from the sale of nine industrial properties that
were identified as held for sale at December 31, 2001. Gross proceeds from these
sales were approximately $16.1 million.
The approximate $29.7 million gain on sale of real estate for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 resulted from the sale of 69 industrial properties
and several land parcels. Gross proceeds from these sales were approximately
$226.4 million.
Income from discontinued operations of approximately $36.6 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2002 reflects the results of operations and gain on
sale of 41 industrial properties and several land parcels that were not held for
sale at December 31, 2001 and were sold during the six months ended June 30,
2002 as well as the results of operations of seven industrial properties
identified as held for sale during the six months ended June 30, 2002. Gross
proceeds from the sales of the 41 industrial properties and several land parcels
were approximately $180.4 million, resulting in a gain on sale of real estate of
approximately $32.2 million.
Income from discontinued operations of approximately $6.5 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2001 reflects the results of operations of the 41
industrial properties that were not held for sale at December 31, 2001 and were
sold during the six months ended June 30, 2002 as well as the results of
operations of seven industrial properties identified as held for sale during the
six months ended June 30, 2002.
The approximate $.9 million extraordinary loss for the six months ended
June 30, 2002 is due to the early retirement of senior unsecured debt. The
extraordinary loss is comprised of the amount paid above the carrying amount of
the senior unsecured debt, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees
and legal costs.
The approximate $10.3 million extraordinary loss for the six months ended
June 30, 2001 is due to the early retirement of senior unsecured debt and
various mortgage loans. The extraordinary loss is comprised of the amount paid
above the carrying amount of the senior unsecured debt, the write-off of
unamortized deferred financing fees, the write-off of the unamortized portion of
an interest rate protection agreement which was used to fix the interest rate on
the senior unsecured debt prior to issuance, the settlement of an interest rate
protection agreement used to fix the retirement price of the senior unsecured
debt, prepayment fees, legal costs and other expenses.
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
2001
Rental income and tenant recoveries and other income decreased by
approximately $3.5 million or 3.8% due primarily to a decrease in average
occupied GLA for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three
months ended June 30, 2001, offset by an increase in tenant recoveries due to an
increase in operating expenses (as discussed below) for the three months ended
June 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001. Rental income
and tenant recoveries and other income from properties owned prior to April 1,
2001 increased by approximately $1.2 million or 1.6% due primarily to an
increase in tenant recoveries due to an increase in property expenses (as
discussed below) for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the
three months ended June 30, 2001.
Property expenses, which include real estate taxes, repairs and
maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other expenses
increased by approximately $1.6 million or 6.0%. This increase is due primarily
to increases in real estate taxes and repairs and maintenance. These increases
were offset by a decrease in other expenses. The increase in real estate taxes
is primarily due to an increase in real estate taxes in many of the Company's
markets. The increase in repairs and maintenance is primarily due to an increase
in maintenance expenses. The decrease in other expenses is primarily due to a
decrease in bad debt expense. Property expenses from properties owned prior to
April 1, 2001 increased by approximately $2.4 million or 11.3% due primarily to
the explanations above.
18
General and administrative expense decreased by approximately $.2 million
due primarily to the write-off of the Company's technology investment in the
second quarter of 2001, offset by increases in employee compensation and
additional employees for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the
three months ended June 30, 2001.
Interest expense increased by approximately $1.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001 due
primarily to a higher average debt balance outstanding for the three months
ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001. The
average debt balance outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and
2001 was approximately $1,437.2 million and $1,332.1 million, respectively. This
was slightly offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate on the
Company's outstanding debt for the three months ended June 30, 2002 (6.98%) as
compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001 (7.12%).
Amortization of deferred financing costs remained relatively unchanged.
Depreciation and other amortization increased by approximately $2.4 million
due primarily to a decrease in the number of properties the Company considered
held for sale at June 30, 2002 as compared to June 30, 2001.
Equity in income of joint ventures increased by approximately $.1 million
or 41.6% due primarily to the start up of one of the Company's joint ventures in
December 2001.
The approximate $2.6 million gain on sale of real estate for the three
months ended June 30, 2002 resulted from the sale of seven industrial properties
that were identified as held for sale at December 31, 2001. Gross proceeds from
these sales were approximately $11.3 million.
The approximate $15.8 million gain on sale of real estate for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 resulted from the sale of 45 industrial properties
and several land parcels. Gross proceeds from these sales were approximately
$165.5 million.
Income from discontinued operations of approximately $18.7 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2002 reflects the results of operations and gain on
sale of 21 industrial properties and several land parcels that were not held for
sale at December 31, 2001 and were sold during the three months ended June 30,
2002 as well as the results of operations of seven industrial properties
identified as held for sale during the three months ended June 30, 2002. Gross
proceeds from the sales of the 21 industrial properties and several land parcels
were approximately $88.3 million, resulting in a gain on sale of real estate of
approximately $17.2 million.
Income from discontinued operations of approximately $3.3 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2001 reflects the results of operations of the 21
industrial properties that were not held for sale at December 31, 2001 and were
sold during the three months ended June 30, 2002 as well as the results of
operations of seven industrial properties identified as held for sale during the
three months ended June 30, 2002.
The approximate $.9 million extraordinary loss for the three months ended
June 30, 2002 is due to the early retirement of senior unsecured debt. The
extraordinary loss is comprised of the amount paid above the carrying amount of
the senior unsecured debt, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees
and legal costs.
The approximate $10.3 million extraordinary loss for the three months ended
June 30, 2001 is due to the early retirement of senior unsecured debt and
various mortgage loans. The extraordinary loss is comprised of the amount paid
above the carrying amount of the senior unsecured debt, the write-off of
unamortized deferred financing fees, the write-off of the unamortized portion of
an interest rate protection agreement which was used to fix the interest rate on
the senior unsecured debt prior to
19
issuance, the settlement of an interest rate protection agreement used to fix
the retirement price of the senior unsecured debt, prepayment fees, legal costs
and other expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 2002, the Company's cash and cash equivalents was approximately
$2.6 million and restricted cash was approximately $39.9 million. Included in
restricted cash are approximately $2.7 million of cash reserves required to be
set aside under the Company's $40.0 million mortgage loan (the "1995 Mortgage
Loan") for payments of security deposit refunds, capital expenditures, interest,
real estate taxes, insurance and releasing costs. The portion of the cash
reserve relating to payments for capital expenditures, interest, real estate
taxes and insurance for properties collateralizing the 1995 Mortgage Loan is
established monthly, distributed to the Company as such expenditures are made
and is replenished to a level adequate to make the next periodic payment of such
expenditures. The portion of the cash reserve relating to security deposit
refunds is adjusted as tenants turn over. The portion of cash reserves relating
to releasing costs resulted from a deposit of a lease termination fee that will
be used to cover the costs of releasing that space. Also included in restricted
cash is approximately $37.2 million of gross proceeds from the sales of certain
properties. These sales proceeds will be disbursed as the Company exchanges
properties under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.

non-cash items of approximately $6.2 million, offset by the net change in
operating assets and liabilities of approximately $20.1 million. The adjustments
for the non-cash items of approximately $6.2 million are primarily comprised of
depreciation and amortization of approximately $41.4 million and an
extraordinary loss of approximately $.9 million from the early retirement of
debt, offset by the gain on sale of real estate of approximately $35.4 million
and the effect of the straight-lining of rental income of approximately $.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 June 30, 2002 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 June 30, 2002, $1,384.2 million (approximately 94.5% of total debt at
June 30, 2002) of the Company's debt was fixed rate debt (included in the fixed
rate debt is $75.0 million of borrowings under the Company's 2000 Unsecured
Acquisition Facility which the Company fixed the interest rate via interest rate
swap agreements) and $81.1 million (approximately 5.5% of total debt at June 30,
2002) was variable rate debt. The Company also has outstanding a written put
option (the "Written Option"), which was issued in conjunction with the initial
offering of one tranche of senior unsecured debt. 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 June 30, 2002, 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 $.2 million per year. A 10% increase in interest rates would
decrease the fair value of the fixed rate debt at June 30, 2002 by approximately
$62.2 million to $1,442.2 million. A 10% decrease in interest rates would
increase the fair value of the fixed rate debt at June 30, 2002 by approximately
$68.3 million to $1,572.7 million. A 10% increase in interest rates would
decrease the fair value of the Written Option at June 30, 2002 by approximately
$2.3 million to $6.5 million. A 10% decrease in interest rates would increase
the fair value of the Written Option at June 30, 2002 by approximately $2.8
million to $11.6 million.
ISSUANCE OF RESTRICTED STOCK AND EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company awarded 90,260
shares of restricted common stock to certain employees and 1,841 shares of
restricted common stock to certain Directors. These shares of restricted common
stock had a fair value of approximately $3.2 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 six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company issued 945,600
non-qualified employee stock options to certain officers, Directors and
employees of the Company. These non-qualified employee
24
stock options vest over periods from one to three years, have a strike price of
$30.53 - $33.15 per share and expire ten years from the date of grant.
COMMON STOCK
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, certain employees of the Company
exercised 555,068 non-qualified employee stock options. Net proceeds to the

B Preferred Stock, $53.906 per share (equivalent to $.53906 per Depositary
Share) on its Series C Preferred Stock, $49.687 per share (equivalent to $.49687
per Depositary Share) on its Series D Preferred Stock and $49.375 per share
(equivalent to $.49375 per Depositary Share) on its Series E Preferred Stock.
The preferred stock dividends paid on April 1, 2002 totaled approximately $7.2
million. On May 14, 2002, the Company paid a prorated second quarter dividend
of $26.736 per share, totaling approximately $1.1 million on its Series B
Preferred Stock.

approximately $31.2 million. On April 22, 2002, the Company and the Operating
Partnership paid a first quarter 2002 dividend/distribution of $.6800 per common
share/Unit, totaling approximately $31.5 million.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
From July 1, 2002 to August 9, 2002, the Company acquired three industrial
properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.6 million,
excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of these industrial
properties. The Company also sold four industrial properties and several land
parcels for approximately $21.1 million of gross proceeds.
On July 1, 2002, the Company paid second quarter preferred stock dividends
of $53.906 per share (equivalent to $.53906 per Depositary Share) on its Series
C Preferred Stock, $49.687 per share (equivalent to $.49687 per Depositary
Share) on its Series D Preferred Stock and $49.375 per share (equivalent to
$.49375 per Depositary Share) on its Series E Preferred Stock. The preferred
stock dividends paid on July 1, 2002 totaled approximately $5.0 million.
On August 31, 1998, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, assumed
a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $1.0 million (the "Acquisition
Mortgage Loan VI"). The Acquisition Mortgage Loan VI was collateralized by one
property in Portland, Oregon, bore interest at a fixed rate of 8.875% and
provided for monthly principal and interest payments based on a 20-year
amortization schedule. On July 2, 2002, the Company paid off and retired the
Acquisition Mortgage Loan VI.
On March 20, 1996, the Company, through the Operating Partnership and the
Indianapolis Partnership entered into a $36.8 million mortgage loan (the "CIGNA
Loan") that is collateralized by seven properties in Indianapolis, Indiana and
three properties in Cincinnati, Ohio. The CIGNA Loan bears interest at a fixed
interest rate of 7.50% and provides for monthly principal and interest payments
based on a 25 - year amortization schedule. The CIGNA Loan matures on April 1,
2003. The Company has given notice to the lender of the CIGNA Loan that it
intends to pay off and retire this loan in October 2002.
On July 22, 2002, the Company and the Operating Partnership paid a second
quarter 2002 dividend/distribution of $.6800 per common share/Unit, totaling
approximately $31.6 million.

SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM LIQUIDITY NEEDS
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
principle 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 through the disposition of select assets, the issuance of long-term
unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of additional equity securities. As of
June 30, 2002 and August 9, 2002, approximately $589.2 million of common stock,
preferred stock and depositary shares and approximately $250.0 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 the 2000 Unsecured Acquisition
Facility. At June 30, 2002, borrowings under the 2000 Unsecured Acquisition
Facility bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 3.17%. The 2000
Unsecured Acquisition Facility bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus
..80%, or the Prime Rate, at the Company's election. As of August 9, 2002, the
Company had approximately $112.2 million available for additional borrowings
under the 2000 Unsecured Acquisition Facility.
OTHER
On April 30, 2002, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 145,
"Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 13, and Technical Corrections" ("FAS 145"). FAS 145 rescinds both Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from
Extinguishment of Debt" ("FAS 4"), and the amendment to FAS 4, Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 64, "Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy
Sinking-Fund Requirements". FAS 145 eliminates the requirement that gains and
losses from the extinguishment of debt be aggregated and, if material,
classified as an extraordinary item, net of the related income tax effect,
unless the criteria in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting
the Results of Operations- Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a
Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
Transactions" are met. FAS 145 is effective for transactions occurring
subsequent to May 15, 2002. The Company believes that FAS 145 will not have an
impact on its consolidated financial position, liquidity and results of
operations.
