ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

The properties listed below and in Item 5 hereof were acquired or are 
proposed to be acquired by Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. or one of 
its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). The properties 
("Life Science Facilities") contain a combination of office and laboratory 
space (with the exception of 15020 Shady Grove Road, 10505 Roselle Street and 
3770 Tansy Street, which contain only office space) for lease principally to 
tenants in the life science industry.

The Company is in the process of acquiring two Life Science Facilities 
located in Worcester, Massachusetts from related sellers. Each of the sellers 
is unaffiliated with the Company. On September 10, 1998, the Company acquired 
377 Plantation Street, commonly known as Four Biotech, for a purchase price 
of $16,500,000. The acquisition was based on arm's length negotiations and 
was funded through a draw on the Company's unsecured line of credit. The 
property contains 92,700 rentable square feet. It is presently 100% leased. 
The property was purchased from Waldo Corporation, a Massachusetts 
corporation, as Trustee of Four Biotech Realty Trust u/d/t dated April 15, 
1993.

In addition, the Company expects to acquire One Innovation Drive, commonly 
known as Three Biotech and located adjacent to 377 Plantation Street in the 
fourth quarter of 1998. The purchase price is expected to be $16,500,000, 
which was based on arm's length negotiations. The Company expects that the 
purchase price will be funded partially through the assumption of a secured 
note payable to Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America in the 
amount of approximately $11,400,000 and partially through a draw on the 
Company's unsecured line of credit. The secured note bears interest at a rate 
of 8.75% per annum, with monthly payments of interest and principal based on 
a 20 year amortization schedule. The secured note matures in January 2006. 
The property contains 115,200 rentable square feet. It is presently 98% 
leased. The property will be purchased from Waldo Corporation, a 
Massachusetts corporation, as Trustee of Three Biotech Realty Trust u/d/t 
dated September 8, 1995. The acquisition is subject to customary closing 
conditions, and there can be no assurance that the Company will complete the 
acquisition of this property.

ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

Between June 11, 1998 and September 11, 1998, seven properties were acquired

1 The financial statement for 702 Electronic Drive has not been included 
because the property was owner-occupied prior to acquisition and as a result 
there are no historical operating results as a rental property. Subsequent to 
acquisition by the Company, a triple-net lease was executed for 100% of the 
rentable area requiring the tenant to pay substantially all expenses 
associated with the property. The financial statement for 100 Phillips 
Parkway has not been included because the property is vacant, and, as a 
result, there are no historical operating results as a rental property. 
Financial statements for 10505 Roselle Street, 3770 Tansy Street, and 2001 
Aliceanna Street have not been included because such properties are not

                         Report of Independent Auditors

To the Board of Directors
Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses of
15020 Shady Grove Road (the Property) for the year ended December 31, 1997. This
statement of revenue and certain expenses is the responsibility of management of
the Property. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the statement of
revenue and certain expenses based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the statement of revenue and certain expenses 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 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 statement of revenue and certain expenses was prepared for the
purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Certain expenses (described in Note 1) that would not be
comparable to those resulting from the proposed future operations of the
Property are excluded and the statement is not intended to be a complete
presentation of the revenue and expenses of the Property.

In our opinion, the statement of revenue and certain expenses presents fairly,
in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses, as defined above, of
the Property for the year ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

               Notes to Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses

                          Year Ended December 31, 1997

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

The accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses includes the 
operations of 15020 Shady Grove Road located in Maryland (the "Property"), 
which was acquired by ARE-15020 Shady Grove, LLC, a Delaware limited 
liability company and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Alexandria Real 
Estate Equities, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), from a 
nonaffiliated third party. As of December 31, 1997, the Property was 100% 
occupied and leased under leases that require tenants either to pay their 
share of operating expenses, including operating and maintenance, utilities, 
taxes and insurance, or to pay their share of such expense in excess of the 
specified amounts. At December 31, 1997, three of the Property's tenants 
accounted for approximately 59% of the Property's aggregate annualized base 
rent.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying statement has been prepared to comply with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Property is not a legal entity and the accompanying statement is not 
representative of the actual operations for the period presented, as certain 
expenses that may not be comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred 
by the Company in the future operations of the Property have been excluded. 
Excluded expenses consist of interest, depreciation and amortization and 
property general and administrative costs not directly comparable to the 
future operations of the Property.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the
related leases.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during 
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

               Notes to Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses

                          Year Ended December 31, 1997

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

The accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses includes the 
operations of 5 Triangle Drive located in North Carolina (the "Property"), 
which was acquired by ARE-5 Triangle Drive, LLC, a Delaware limited liability 
company and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Alexandria Real Estate 
Equities, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), from a nonaffiliated 
third party. This statement reflects the operations of the Property during 
1997 under its prior ownership, and, as such, reflects the effect of 
vacancies that existed during that period. As of December 31, 1997, the 
Property was 75% occupied by one tenant under a lease that requires the 
tenant to pay operating expenses in excess of specified amounts, including 
operating and maintenance, utilities, taxes, and insurance.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying statement has been prepared to comply with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Property is not a legal entity and the accompanying statement is not 
representative of the actual operations for the period presented, as certain 
expenses that may not be comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred 
by the Company in the future operations of the Property have been excluded. 
Excluded expenses consist of interest, depreciation and amortization and 
property general and administrative costs not directly comparable to the 
future operations of the Property. In addition, ground rent expense has been 
excluded because the Company purchased the interest in the land in connection 
with the acquisition of the Property.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the
lease.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during 
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                         Report of Independent Auditors

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses of 60
Westview Street (the Property) for the year ended December 31, 1997. This
statement of revenue and certain expenses is the responsibility of the
management of the Property. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
statement of revenue and certain expenses based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the statement of revenue and certain expenses 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 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 statement of revenue and certain expenses was prepared for the
purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Certain expenses (described in Note 1) that would not be
comparable to those resulting from the proposed future operations of the
Property are excluded and the statement is not intended to be a complete
presentation of the revenue and expenses of the Property.

In our opinion, the statement of revenue and certain expenses presents fairly,
in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses, as defined above, of
the Property for the year ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

The accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses includes the 
operations of 377 Plantation Street/One Innovation Drive located in 
Massachusetts (the "Property"), which was acquired or is proposed to be 
acquired by ARE-377 Plantation, LLC and ARE-One Innovation Drive, LLC, 
respectively, each of which is a Delaware limited liability company and 
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc., a 
Maryland Corporation (the "Company"), from nonaffiliated third parties. 
This statement reflects the operations of the Property during 1997 under its 
prior ownership, and, as such, reflects the effect of vacancies that existed 
during that period. As of December 31, 1997, the space was 65% occupied. Of 
the leased space, 95% was leased under triple-net leases requiring the 
tenants to pay their pro rata share of substantially all expenses associated 
with the Property, including operating and maintenance, utilities, taxes, and 
insurance, while the remainder of the leased space was leased under leases 
requiring the tenants to pay their share of these expenses over specified 
amounts. As of December 31, 1997, four tenants accounted for approximately 
81% of the Property's aggregate annualized base rent.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying statement has been prepared to comply with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The accompanying statement is not representative of the actual operations for 
the period presented, as certain expenses that may not be comparable to the 
expenses expected to be incurred by the Company in the future operations of

                         Report of Independent Auditors

To the Board of Directors
Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses of 50
West Watkins Mill Road (the Property) for the year ended December 31, 1997. This
statement of revenue and certain expenses is the responsibility of the
management of the Property. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
statement of revenue and certain expenses based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the statement of revenue and certain expenses 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 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 statement of revenue and certain expenses was prepared for the
purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Certain expenses (described in Note 1) that would not be
comparable to those resulting from the proposed future operations of the
Property are excluded and the statement is not intended to be a complete
presentation of the revenue and expenses of the Property.

In our opinion, the statement of revenue and certain expenses presents fairly,
in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses, as defined above, of
the Property for the year ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

               Notes to Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses

                          Year Ended December 31, 1997

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

The accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses includes the 
operations of 50 West Watkins Mill Road located in Maryland (the "Property"), 
which was acquired by ARE-50 West Watkins Mill, LLC, a Delaware limited 
liability company and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Alexandria Real 
Estate Equities, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), from a 
nonaffiliated third party. As of December 31, 1997, the Property was 100% 
occupied by one tenant under a triple-net lease that requires the tenant to 
pay for all of the operating expenses directly.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying statement has been prepared to comply with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Property is not a legal entity and the accompanying statement is not 
representative of the actual operations for the period presented, as certain 
expenses that may not be comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred 
by the Company in the future operations of the Property have been excluded. 
Excluded expenses consist of interest, and property general and 
administrative costs not directly comparable to the future operations of the 
Property.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the
related leases.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet 
of Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (the "Company") as of June 30, 1998 
is presented as if the acquisition of those properties acquired or proposed

LLC Properties"), and (ii) the acquisition of all of the properties described 
in Item 2 and Item 5 (the "Form 8-K Properties"), had occurred on January 1,

                  Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INCOME
   STATEMENTS

       No pro forma adjustments have been made for the periods prior to
       acquisition for 702 Electronic Drive because this property was owner-
       occupied prior to purchase, and, as a result, there were no operating
       results as a rental property.

       No pro forma adjustments have been made for the periods prior to
       acquisition for 100 Phillips Parkway because the property was vacant 
       prior to acquisition. However, the pro forma condensed consolidated 
       income statement has been adjusted to include additional interest 
       expense due to assumed borrowings on the Company's unsecured line of 
       credit and depreciation expense to reflect a full period of depreciation.

   (C) Increase in interest expense due to draws on the Company's unsecured
       line of credit and the proposed assumption of the secured note payable
       to Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America in the amount
       of $11,439,000 associated with the proposed purchase of One Plantation 
       Drive. The note bears interest at a rate of 8.75% per annum and matures 
       in January 2006.

   (D) Increase in depreciation expense to reflect a full period of
       depreciation for the Form 8-K Properties utilizing a 40 year useful life.

   (E) Represents the actual historical results of the Acquisition LLC
       Properties from the beginning of the period through the date of
       acquisition. The Company acquired ARE-Acquisitions, LLC (the "Acquisition
       LLC"), thereby acquiring the Acquisition LLC Properties, in connection 
       with the Offering.

                  Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INCOME
   STATEMENTS

   (F) Represents additional interest income from investing the proceeds of
       the exercise of the over-allotment option from the Offering at a rate 
       of 5.4%.

   (G) Increase in general and administrative expenses related to operations
       as a public entity consisting of increased salaries and bonuses 
       (including that of the chief financial officer), directors and officers
       insurance, investor relations and public entity and listing fees.

   (H) Decrease in interest expense due to repayment of certain mortgage
       loans in connection with the Offering, partially offset by new mortgage
       debt incurred in connection with the Offering, and the amortization of
       finance costs related to the unsecured line of credit.

   (I) In connection with the Offering, the Company acquired 100% of the
       membership interests in the Acquisition LLC for $58,844,000, which
       exceeded the purchase price paid by the Acquisition LLC for the 
       Acquisition LLC Properties by $6,973,000. This difference was accounted 
       for as a financing cost and is being eliminated on a pro forma basis due 
       to its non-continuing nature.

   (J) In connection with the Offering, the Company repaid certain secured
       notes payable having an aggregate principal balance of $72,698,000. In
       connection with the repayment of these loans, the Company wrote off
       $2,147,000 of unamortized loan costs. This charge is being eliminated on
       a pro forma basis due to its non-continuing nature.

   (K) Increase in depreciation expense to reflect a full period of
       depreciation for the Acquisition LLC Properties utilizing a 40-year
       useful life.

   (L) Pro forma shares of common stock of the Company outstanding on a 
       historical net income basis include all shares outstanding after giving 
       effect to the conversion of all series of preferred stock, the 1,765.923 
       to one share common stock split, the issuance of stock grants and 
       exercise of certain substitute stock options in connection with the 
       Offering.

       Pro forma shares of common stock of the Company outstanding on a 
       pro forma basis include all historical pro forma shares outstanding 
       after giving effect to the Offering.
