FIRST INDUSTRIAL, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

1. ORGANIZATION AND FORMATION OF PARTNERSHIP


First Industrial, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") was organized as a
limited partnership in the state of Delaware on November 23, 1993. The sole
general partner is First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company") with an
approximate 85.1% ownership interest at June 30, 2002. The limited partners of
the Operating Partnership own approximately a 14.9% interest in the Operating
Partnership at June 30, 2002. The Company also owns a preferred general
partnership interest in the Operating Partnership with an aggregate liquidation
priority of $250,000. The Company is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") as
defined in the Internal Revenue Code. The Company's operations are conducted
primarily through the Operating Partnership.

The Operating Partnership is the sole member of several limited
liability companies (the "L.L.C.s") and the sole stockholder of First Industrial
Development Services, Inc., and holds at least a 99% limited partnership
interest in each of eight limited partnerships (together, the "Other Real Estate
Partnerships"). The Operating Partnership, through separate wholly-owned limited
liability companies in which it 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").

The general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships are separate
corporations, each with at least a .01% general partnership interest in the
Other Real Estate Partnerships for which it acts as a general partner. Each
general partner of the Other Real Estate Partnerships is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company.

The consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership
report the L.L.C.s and First Industrial Development Services, Inc. (the
"Consolidated Operating Partnership") on a consolidated basis. The Other Real
Estate Partnerships, the September 1998 Joint Venture, the September 1999 Joint
Venture and the December 2001 Joint Venture are accounted for under the equity
method of accounting. As of June 30, 2002, the Consolidated Operating
Partnership owned 788 in-service properties containing an aggregate of
approximately 52.0 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"). On a
combined basis, as of June 30, 2002, the Other Real Estate Partnerships owned
118 in-service properties containing an aggregate of approximately 11.3 million
square feet of GLA.

Profits, losses and distributions of the Operating Partnership, the
L.L.C.s and the Other Real Estate Partnerships are allocated to the general
partner and the limited partners, or the members, as applicable, in accordance
with the provisions contained within the partnership agreements or ownership
agreements, as applicable, of the Operating Partnership, the L.L.C.s and the
Other Real Estate Partnerships.

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 Operating Partnership'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 Operating Partnership's 2001 Form
10-K and present interim disclosures as required by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

FIRST INDUSTRIAL, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED


In order to conform with generally accepted accounting principles,
management, in preparation of the Consolidated Operating Partnership'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 Consolidated Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2002 and 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 Consolidated Operating Partnership provides an allowance for
doubtful accounts against the portion of tenant 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 $1,707 as
of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001.

Discontinued Operations:

On January 1, 2002, the Consolidated Operating Partnership 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 Consolidated Operating Partnership 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.

Senior Unsecured Debt:

On April 15, 2002, the Consolidated Operating Partnership, through the
Operating Partnership, issued $200,000 of senior unsecured debt which matures on
April 15, 2012 and bears a coupon interest rate of 6.875% (the "2012 Notes").
The issue price of the 2012 Notes was 99.310%. Interest is paid semi-annually in
arrears on April 15 and October 15. The Operating Partnership also entered into
interest rate protection agreements which were used to fix the interest rate on
the 2012 Notes prior to issuance. The Operating Partnership settled the interest
rate protection agreements for approximately $1,772 of proceeds, which is
included in other comprehensive income. The debt issue discount and the
settlement amount of the interest rate protection agreements are being amortized
over the life of the 2012 Notes as an adjustment to interest expense. The 2012
Notes contain certain covenants, including limitations on incurrence of debt and
debt service coverage.

On April 15, 2002, the Consolidated Operating Partnership, through the
Operating Partnership, issued $50,000 of senior unsecured debt which matures on
April 15, 2032 and bears a coupon interest rate of 7.75% (the "2032 Notes"). The
issue price of the 2032 Notes was 98.660%. Interest is paid semi-annually in
arrears on April 15 and October 15. The debt issue discount is being amortized
over the life of the 2032 Notes as an adjustment to interest expense. The 2032
Notes contain certain covenants, including limitations on incurrence of debt and
debt service coverage.

On May 13, 1997, the Consolidated Operating Partnership, through the
Operating Partnership, issued $100,000 of senior unsecured debt which matures on
May 15, 2027 and bears a coupon interest rate of 7.15% (the" 2027 Notes"). The
issue price of the 2027 Notes was 99.854%. The 2027 Notes were redeemable, at
the option of the holders thereof, on May 15, 2002. The Operating Partnership
received redemption notices from holders representing $84,930 of the 2027 Notes
outstanding. On May 15, 2002, the Consolidated Operating Partnership, through
the Operating Partnership, paid off and retired $84,930 of the 2027 Notes. Due
to the partial pay off of the 2027 Notes, the Consolidated Operating Partnership
has recorded an extraordinary loss of approximately $888 comprised of the amount
paid above the carrying amount of the 2027 Notes, the write-off of unamortized
deferred financing fees and legal costs.

Acquisition Facility Payable:
In January 2002, the Consolidated Operating Partnership, through the
Operating Partnership, entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the
"Interest Rate Swap Agreement") which fixed the interest rate on a portion of
the Consolidated Operating Partnership's outstanding borrowings on its $300,000
unsecured revolving credit facility (the "2000 Unsecured Acquisition Facility").
The Operating Partnership 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 Operating Partnership 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.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Consolidated Operating
Partnership is involved in legal actions arising from the ownership of its
properties. In management's opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may
ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a materially
adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, operations or liquidity
of the Consolidated Operating Partnership.

The Consolidated Operating Partnership 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 Operating
Partnership's 2000 Unsecured Acquisition Facility. The

that the Consolidated Operating Partnership 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.

FIRST INDUSTRIAL, L.P.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of First Industrial, L.P.'s (the
"Operating Partnership") financial condition and results of operations should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing
elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Operating
Partnership intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe
harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is including this statement for
purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking
statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans,
strategies and expectations of the Operating Partnership, are generally
identifiable by use of the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate,"
"estimate," "project" or similar expressions. The Operating Partnership's
ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is
inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on the
operations and future prospects of the Operating Partnership on a consolidated
basis include, but are not limited to, changes in: economic conditions generally
and the real estate market specifically, legislative/regulatory changes
(including changes to laws governing the taxation of real estate investment
trusts), availability of financing, interest rate levels, competition, supply
and demand for industrial properties in the Operating Partnership's current and
proposed market areas, potential environmental liabilities, slippage in
development or lease-up schedules, tenant credit risks, higher-than-expected
costs and changes in general accounting principles, policies and guidelines
applicable to real estate investment trusts. These risks and uncertainties
should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance
should not be placed on such statements. Further information concerning the
Operating Partnership and its business, including additional factors that could
materially affect the Operating Partnership's financial results, is included
herein and in the Operating Partnership's other filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

The Operating Partnership was organized as a limited partnership in the
state of Delaware on November 23, 1993. The sole general partner of the
Operating Partnership is First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company")
with an approximate 85.1% ownership interest at June 30, 2002. The limited
partners of the Operating Partnership own, in the aggregate, approximately a
14.9% interest in the Operating Partnership at June 30, 2002. The Company also
owns a preferred general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership with
an aggregate liquidation priority of $250.0 million. The Company is a real
estate investment trust ("REIT") as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. The
Company's operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership.

The Operating Partnership is the sole member of several limited
liability companies (the "L.L.C.s") and the sole shareholder of First Industrial
Development Services, Inc. and holds at least a 99% limited partnership interest
in each of eight limited partnerships (together, the "Other Real Estate
Partnerships"). The Operating Partnership, through separate wholly-owned limited
liability companies in which it 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"). The financial statements of the Operating Partnership report the
L.L.C.s and First Industrial Development Services, Inc. (the "Consolidated
Operating Partnership") on a consolidated basis. The Other Real Estate
Partnerships, the September 1998 Joint Venture, the September 1999 Joint Venture
and the December 2001 Joint Venture are accounted for under the equity method of
accounting.

The general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships are separate
corporations, each with at least a .01% general partnership interest in the
Other Real Estate Partnership for which it acts as a general


17


partner. Each general partner of the Other Real Estate Partnerships is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Profits, losses and distributions of the Operating Partnership, the
L.L.C.s and the Other Real Estate Partnerships are allocated to the general
partner and the limited partners, or members, as applicable, in accordance with
the provisions contained within the partnership agreements or operating
agreements, as applicable, of the Operating Partnership, the L.L.C.s and the
Other Real Estate Partnerships.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

At June 30, 2002, the Consolidated Operating Partnership owned 788
in-service properties with approximately 52.0 million square feet of gross
leasable area ("GLA"), compared to 838 in-service properties with approximately
53.5 million square feet of GLA at June 30, 2001. During the period between July
1, 2001 and June 30, 2002, the Consolidated Operating Partnership acquired 40
properties containing approximately 3.9 million square feet of GLA, and 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 98 in-service properties totaling approximately 6.2 million
square feet of GLA, four out of service properties and several land parcels. The
Consolidated Operating Partnership also took four properties out of service that
are under redevelopment comprising approximately .6 million square feet of GLA,
and placed in-service three properties comprising approximately .2 million
square feet of GLA. In addition, the Other Real Estate Partnerships distributed
two industrial properties comprising approximately .1 million square feet of GLA
to the Consolidated Operating Partnership.

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 $9.4 million or 5.9% 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 $1.5
million or 1.1% 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 $.8 million or 1.7%. This decrease is due primarily
to decreases in real estate taxes, utilities and other expenses, slightly 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 expenses 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 $1.5 million or 4.0% 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 $.8
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 Consolidated Operating
Partnership's technology investment in the second quarter of 2001.



18


Interest expense increased by approximately $.8 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 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 $1,352.3 million and $1,269.4 million, respectively. This was
slightly offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate on the
Consolidated Operating Partnership's outstanding debt for the six months ended
June 30, 2002 (6.83%) as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001 (7.18%),
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 $3.6
million due primarily to a decrease in the number of properties the Consolidated
Operating Partnership considered held for sale at June 30, 2002 as compared to
June 30, 2001.

Equity in income of Other Real Estate Partnerships increased by
approximately $9.1 million due primarily to an increase in gain on sale of real
estate.

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 Consolidated Operating Partnership's joint ventures
in December 2001.

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 $21.6 million gain on sale of real estate for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 resulted from the sale of 62 industrial properties
and several land parcels. Gross proceeds from these sales were approximately
$171.3 million.

Income from discontinued operations of approximately $15.8 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2002 reflects the results of operations and gain
on sale of 31 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 six industrial properties
identified as held for sale during the six months ended June 30, 2002. Gross
proceeds from the sales of the 31 industrial properties and several land parcels
were approximately $124.1 million, resulting in a gain on sale of real estate of
approximately $13.2 million.

Income from discontinued operations of approximately $4.0 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2001 reflects the results of operations of the 31
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 six 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 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 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.


19


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 $1.8 million or 2.3% 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. Rental income and tenant recoveries and other income
from properties owned prior to April 1, 2001, increased by approximately $.7
million or 1.1% 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 $2.0 million or 8.5%. This increase is due primarily
to increases in real estate taxes and repairs and maintenance expense. The
increase in real estate taxes is primarily due to an increase in real estate
taxes in many of the Consolidated Operating Partnership's markets. The increase
in repairs and maintenance is primarily due to an increase in maintenance
company expenses. Property expenses from properties owned prior to April 1, 2001
increased by approximately $2.4 million or 13.2% due primarily to the
explanations above.

General and administrative expense remained relatively unchanged. An
increase in employee compensation and additional employees for the three months
ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001 was
offset by the write off of the Consolidated Operating Partnership's technology
investment in the second quarter of 2001.

Interest expense increased by approximately $2.2 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 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 $1,396.7 million and $1,291.0 million, respectively. This
was slightly offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate on the
Consolidated Operating Partnership's outstanding debt for the three months ended
June 30, 2002 (6.96%) as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001
(7.11%), 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 $2.2
million due primarily to a decrease in the number of properties the Consolidated
Operating Partnership considered held for sale at June 30, 2002 as compared to
June 30, 2001.

Equity in income of Other Real Estate Partnerships increased by
approximately $3.0 million due primarily to an increase in gain on sale of real
estate.

Equity in income of joint ventures increased by approximately $.1
million or 41.6% due primarily to the start up of one of the Consolidated
Operating Partnership'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 $9.7 million gain on sale of real estate for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 resulted from the sale of 40 industrial properties
and several land parcels. Gross proceeds from these sales were approximately
$116.6 million.

Income from discontinued operations of approximately $7.6 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2002 reflects the results of operations and gain
on sale of 16 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 six industrial properties
identified as held for sale during the three months ended June 30, 2002.


20


Gross proceeds from the sales of the 16 industrial properties and several land
parcels were approximately $61.1 million, resulting in a gain on sale of real
estate of approximately $6.8 million.

Income from discontinued operations of approximately $2.0 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2001 reflects the results of operations of the
16 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 six 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 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 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 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.

amortization of approximately $35.5 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 $16.5 million and the effect of the
straight-lining of rental income of approximately $1.1 million.

agreements which were used to fix the interest rate on the 2012 Notes prior to
issuance. The Operating Partnership settled the interest rate protection
agreements for approximately $1.8 million of proceeds, which is included in
other comprehensive income. The debt issue discount and the settlement amount of
the interest rate protection agreements are being amortized over the life of the
2012 Notes as an adjustment to interest expense. The 2012 Notes contain certain
covenants, including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service
coverage.

On April 15, 2002, the Operating Partnership issued $50 million of
senior unsecured debt which matures on April 15, 2032 and bears a coupon
interest rate of 7.75% (the "2032 Notes"). The issue price of the 2032 Notes was
98.660%. Interest is paid semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15.
The debt issue discount is being amortized over the life of the 2032 Notes as an
adjustment to interest expense. The 2032 Notes contain certain covenants,
including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage.

On May 13, 1997, the Consolidated Operating Partnership, through the
Operating Partnership, issued $100 million of senior unsecured debt which
matures on May 15, 2027 and bears a coupon interest rate of 7.15% (the "2027
Notes"). The issue price of the 2027 Notes was 99.854%. The 2027 Notes were
redeemable, at the option of the holders thereof, on May 15, 2002. The Operating
Partnership received redemption notices from holders representing approximately
$84.9 million of the 2027 Notes outstanding. On May 15, 2002, the Consolidated
Operating Partnership, through the Operating Partnership, paid off and retired
approximately $84.9 million of the 2027 Notes. Due to the partial pay off of the
2027 Notes, the Consolidated Operating Partnership has recorded an extraordinary
loss of approximately $.9 million comprised of the amount paid above the
carrying amount of the 2027 Notes, the write-off of unamortized deferred
financing fees and legal costs.

GENERAL PARTNER PREFERRED UNITS

On May 14, 1997 the Company issued 4,000,000 Depositary Shares, each
representing 1/100th of a share of the Company's 8 3/4%, $.01 par value, Series
B Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), at an initial
offering price of $25.00 per Depositary Share. The net proceeds of approximately
$96.3 million received from the Series B Preferred Stock were contributed to the
Operating Partnership in exchange for 8 3/4% Series B Cumulative Preferred Units
(the "Series B Preferred Units"). On or after May 14, 2002, the Series B
Preferred Stock became redeemable for cash at the option of the Company, in
whole or in part, at a redemption price equivalent to $25.00 per Depositary
Share, or $100 million in the aggregate, plus dividends accrued and unpaid to
the redemption date. On April 12, 2002, the Company called for the redemption of
all of its outstanding Series B Preferred Stock at the price of $25.00 per
share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Company redeemed the Series B
Preferred Stock on May 14, 2002 and paid a prorated second quarter dividend of
$.26736 per Depositary Share, totaling approximately $1.1 million. The Series B
Cumulative Preferred Units were redeemed on May 14, 2002 as well.

MARKET RISK


24


The following discussion about the Consolidated Operating Partnership'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 Consolidated Operating Partnership 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 Consolidated Operating
Partnership 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, $1,343.8 million (approximately 94.3% of total debt
at June 30, 2002) of the Consolidated Operating Partnership's debt was fixed
rate debt (included in the fixed rate debt is $75.0 million of borrowings under
the Consolidated Operating Partnership's 2000 Unsecured Acquisition Facility
which the Consolidated Operating Partnership fixed the interest rate via
interest rate swap agreements) and $81.1 million (approximately 5.7% of total
debt at June 30, 2002) was variable rate debt. The Consolidated Operating
Partnership also had 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 Consolidated Operating Partnership 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 Consolidated
Operating Partnership. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in the
interest rate generally do not impact the fair value of the debt, but would
affect the Consolidated Operating Partnership'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 Consolidated Operating
Partnership until the Consolidated Operating Partnership is required to
refinance such debt. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for a
discussion of the maturity dates of the Consolidated Operating Partnership'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 Consolidated
Operating Partnership'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 $62.1 million to $1,401.4
million. A 10% decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value of the
fixed rate debt at June 30, 2002 by approximately $68.1 million to $1,531.6
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.

GENERAL PARTNERSHIP AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNIT CONTRIBUTIONS, EMPLOYEE
STOCK OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED STOCK

The Operating Partnership has issued Units. The general partnership
units resulted from capital contributions from the Company. The limited

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 940,600
non-qualified employee stock options to certain officers, Directors and

issued 18,203 Units having an aggregate market value of approximately $.6
million in exchange for property.

2001 distribution of $.6800 per Unit, totaling approximately $31.2 million. On

distributions paid on April 1, 2002, totaled approximately $7.2 million. On May
14, 2002, the Operating Partnership paid a prorated second quarter distribution
of $26.736 per unit, totaling approximately $1.1 million on its Series B
Preferred Units.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

From July 1, 2002 to August 9, 2002, the Consolidated Operating
Partnership 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 Consolidated Operating
Partnership also sold four industrial properties and several land parcels for
approximately $21.1 million of gross proceeds.

On July 1, 2002, the Operating Partnership paid second quarter
preferred unit distributions of $53.906 per unit on its Series C Preferred
Units, $49.687 per unit on its Series D Preferred Units and $49.375 per unit on
its Series E Preferred Units. The preferred unit distributions paid on July 1,
2002 totaled approximately $5.0 million.

On August 31, 1998, the Consolidated Operating Partnership, 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 Consolidated Operating
Partnership, through the Operating Partnership paid off and retired the
Acquisition Mortgage Loan VI.

On March 20, 1996 the Consolidated Operating Partnership, through the
Operating 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


26


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 Consolidated Operating Partnership 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 Operating Partnership paid a second quarter 2002
distribution of $.6800 per Unit, totaling approximately $31.6 million.



SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM LIQUIDITY NEEDS

The Consolidated Operating Partnership 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
Consolidated Operating Partnership believes that its principle short-term
liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring expenses, debt service requirements
and the minimum distribution required by the Company to maintain the Company's
REIT qualification under the Internal Revenue Code. The Consolidated Operating
Partnership anticipates that these needs will be met with cash flows provided by
operating activities.

The Consolidated Operating Partnership 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
Units and preferred units. As of June 30, 2002 and August 9, 2002, approximately
$250.0 million of debt securities was registered and unissued under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Consolidated Operating Partnership may
also 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
Operating Partnership's election. As of August 9, 2002, the Consolidated
Operating Partnership, through the Operating Partnership, had approximately
$112.2 million available in 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 Consolidated Operating Partnership believes that
FAS 145 will not have an impact on its consolidated financial position,
liquidity and results of operations.
