One of the properties (620 Memorial Drive) contains a combination of office and laboratory space for lease principally to tenants in the life science industry (a "Life Science Facility"). The other property (279 Princeton Road) is an office building suitable for conversion to a Life Science Facility. Each of the properties acquired by the Company were purchased from sellers that were unrelated to each other and unaffiliated with the Company.

The property was purchased for $36,500,000, which was based on arm's length negotiations. The purchase price was partially funded through the assumption of a secured note payable to La Salle National Bank in the amount of $17,904,000. The debt bears interest at a rate of 9.125% per annum, with monthly payments of principal and interest based on a 30 year amortization schedule. The loan matures in October 2007. The remainder of the purchase price was funded through a draw on the Company's unsecured line of credit. The property contains approximately 98,000 rentable square feet. It is presently 100% leased to a single tenant. The property was purchased from Charles River Building Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership. ITEM 5.

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses of 620 Memorial Drive (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. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Los Angeles, California November 13, 1998 4 620 Memorial Drive Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses Year ended December 31, 1997 (IN THOUSANDS) Revenue: Rental $3,565 Other 75 ------ Total revenue 3,640 Ground rent 8 ------ Excess of revenue over certain expenses $3,632 ------ ------ SEE ACCOMPANYING NOTES TO STATEMENT OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES. 5 620 Memorial Drive 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 620 Memorial Drive located in Cambridge, Massachusetts (the "Property"), which was acquired by ARE-620 Memorial 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. As of December 31, 1997, the Property was 100% occupied and leased to one tenant under a triple-net lease requiring the tenant to directly pay for all of the operating expenses associated with the Property, excluding ground rent. Prior to purchase of the Property by the Company, the lease with this tenant was terminated, and the Property was fully leased to another tenant (see Note 2). 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. 6 620 Memorial Drive Notes to Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses Year Ended December 31, 1997 2.
