and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

revisions to any of the forward-looking statements.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
BACKGROUND AND FORMATION.
Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. ("Alexandria" and, together with its
subsidiaries, the "Company"), a Maryland corporation, is a real estate
investment trust ("REIT") engaged primarily in the acquisition, management,
expansion and selective development of high quality, strategically located
properties containing office and laboratory space designed and improved for
lease principally to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, diagnostic and personal care
products companies, major scientific research institutions and related
government agencies (collectively, the "Life Science Industry"). Properties
leased to tenants in the Life Science Industry typically consist of suburban
office buildings containing scientific research and development laboratories and
other improvements that are generic to tenants operating in the Life Science
Industry (such properties, "Life Science Facilities"). As of December 31, 1997,
the Company owned 22 Life Science Facilities (the "Properties") and two parcels
of vacant land, aggregating approximately 4.2 acres, adjacent to the Company's
3535 and 3565 General Atomics Court Properties in the Torrey Pines area of San
Diego, California.
FORMATION. In connection with the formation of Alexandria in October 1994,
Health Science Properties Holding Corporation ("Holdings"), a Maryland
corporation formed in September 1993 and capitalized in January 1994,
contributed substantially all of its assets and liabilities (other than certain
outstanding unsecured notes) to Alexandria in exchange for all of the then
issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Alexandria, par value $.01 per
share (the "Common Stock"). Holdings was the sole holder of the Common Stock
until June 2, 1997, when Alexandria completed its initial public offering (the
"Offering") of 6,750,000 shares of Common Stock. On June 26, 1997, Alexandria
issued an additional 1,012,500 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise
of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters in connection with the
Offering.
THE OFFERING AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS.
THE OFFERING. Each of the following transactions occurred in connection
with the Offering:
- - The 27,500 outstanding shares of Series V Preferred Stock of Alexandria,
issued in 1996 in a series of transactions to raise additional equity
capital, were converted into 1,659,239 shares of Common Stock.
- - The Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in ARE Acquisitions,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Acquisition LLC"), thereby
acquiring three of the Properties, for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $58.8 million.
- - The Company repaid approximately $77.7 million of its then-existing
mortgage indebtedness with a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering
and the net proceeds of (i) an $8.5 million mortgage loan on the
Property located at 1431 Harbor Bay
1
Parkway and (ii) a $6.9 million mortgage loan on the Property located at
1102 and 1124 Columbia Street. The Company subsequently repaid the
mortgage loan on 1102 and 1124 Columbia Street in November 1997.
ACQUISITIONS. Since December 31, 1997 (through March 27, 1998), the
Company has acquired 11 additional Life Science Facilities containing an
aggregate of 927,000 rentable square feet for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $110 million and made a $6 million loan secured by real estate
related to one of these Life Science Facilities. Of these amounts, $103
million was funded through draws on the Company's unsecured line of credit,
approximately $13 million through the assumption of existing debt and the
remainder with working capital. The recent acquisitions were in California
(in the San Diego and San Francisco Bay areas), Seattle, Washington, suburban
Maryland, Boston/Cambridge, Massachusetts, Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina and
the New York/New Jersey and suburban Philadelphia areas.
STRUCTURE. The Company is in the process of modifying its existing
corporate structure to facilitate its operation as an umbrella partnership or
"UPREIT." The Company has formed an operating partnership (the "Operating
Partnership") through which the Company expects to conduct substantially all
of its operations. The Company believes that the UPREIT structure will
enhance its acquisition activities by providing an additional source of
acquisition consideration. Initially, however, the Company will own all of
the interests in the Operating Partnership ("OP Units").
BUSINESS AND GROWTH STRATEGY.
As of December 31, 1997, the Company owned 22 Properties containing
approximately 1.75 million rentable square feet of office and laboratory
space located in California (in the San Diego and San Francisco Bay areas),
Seattle, Washington and suburban Washington, D.C. (including Maryland and
Virginia). The Company also owned two parcels of vacant land aggregating
approximately 4.2 acres in San Diego, California. The Company focuses its
operations and acquisition activities principally in these markets, as well
as in certain other markets, including Boston/Cambridge, Massachusetts,
Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina and the New York/New Jersey and suburban
Philadelphia areas. See "--Recent Developments." The Company's tenant base
is broad and diverse within the Life Science Industry and reflects the
Company's focus on regional, national and international tenants with
substantial financial and operational resources. For a detailed description
of the Properties and tenants, see "Item 2. Properties." The Company is led
by a senior management team with extensive experience in both the real estate
and Life Science industries and is supported by a highly experienced board of
directors.
The Company seeks to maximize growth in funds from operations ("FFO")
and cash available for distribution to stockholders through effective
management, operation, acquisition, expansion and selective development of
Life Science Facilities. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Funds from Operations" for
a complete discussion of how the Company computes and views FFO as well as a
discussion of other measures of cash flow. In particular, the Company seeks
to increase FFO and cash available for distribution per share by (i)
acquiring high quality Life Science Facilities at attractive returns in its
target markets; (ii) realizing contractual rental rate escalations; (iii)
retenanting and releasing space within its portfolio at higher rental rates,
and with minimal tenant improvement costs; (iv) expanding existing Properties
or converting existing office space to generic laboratory space that can be
leased at higher rental rates; (v) selectively developing properties on a
retrofit or build-to-suit basis; and (vi) continuing to implement effective
cost control measures, including pass-through provisions in tenant leases for
operating expenses and certain capital expenditures.
2
ACQUISITIONS. The Company seeks to identify and acquire high quality Life
Science Facilities in its target markets. Critical evaluation of prospective
property acquisitions is an essential component of the Company's acquisition
strategy. When evaluating acquisition opportunities, the Company assesses a
full range of matters relating to the properties, including the quality of the
tenants, the condition and capacity of building infrastructure, the quality and
generic characteristics of laboratory facilities and the physical condition of
the shell structure and common area improvements. Management also considers
opportunities available for leasing vacant space and for retenanting occupied
space.
INTERNAL GROWTH. The Company seeks to achieve internal growth from several
sources. The Company seeks to (i) include rental rate escalation provisions in
its leases; (ii) acquire undervalued or underperforming properties where it can
improve investment returns through releasing of vacant space and replacement of
existing tenants with new tenants at higher rental rates; (iii) achieve higher
rental rates as existing leases expire; and (iv) expand existing facilities that
are fully leased and/or convert existing office space to higher rent generic
laboratory space. The Company's ability to negotiate contractual rent
escalations in future leases and to achieve increases in rental rates will
depend upon market conditions and demand for Life Science Facilities at the time
such leases are negotiated and such increases are proposed.
DEVELOPMENT. The Company intends to emphasize acquisitions over
development in pursuing its growth objectives. However, the Company plans to
pursue selective build-to-suit and retrofit development projects where it
expects to achieve investment returns that will equal or exceed its returns
on acquisitions. The Company generally intends to undertake build-to-suit
and retrofit projects only if the Company's investment in infrastructure will
be substantially generic in nature and not tenant specific.
FINANCING/WORKING CAPITAL. The Company believes that cash provided by
operations and its unsecured line of credit will be sufficient to fund its
working capital requirements. The Company generally expects to finance
future acquisitions initially through the Company's unsecured line of credit
and then to refinance such indebtedness with additional equity or debt
capital. The Company also may issue Common Stock, OP Units or interests in
other subsidiaries as consideration for acquisitions. See "Item 7.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources" for a complete discussion of the
Company's unsecured line of credit and other outstanding indebtedness.
COMPETITION
Management believes that the Company is the only publicly traded entity
focusing primarily on the acquisition, management, expansion and selective
development of Life Science Facilities. However, various entities, including
insurance companies, pension and investment funds, partnerships, developers,
investment companies and other REITs invest in Life Science Facilities and
therefore compete for investment opportunities with the Company. Many of these
entities have substantially greater financial resources than the Company and may
be able to accept more risk than the Company can prudently manage, including
risks with respect to the creditworthiness of a tenant or the geographic
proximity of its investments. Competition from these entities may reduce the
number of suitable investment opportunities offered to the Company or increase
the bargaining power of property owners seeking to sell.
3
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The Company and the Properties are subject to various federal, state and
local regulatory requirements, including local building codes, environmental and
other similar regulations. The Company believes that the Properties are in
substantial compliance with all applicable building code and related
regulations.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. Under various federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of
real estate, as well as certain other parties, may be required to investigate
and remediate the effects of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product
releases on, under, in or from such property, and may be held liable to a
governmental entity or to third parties for investigation and cleanup costs and
certain damages resulting from such releases. Such laws and regulations
typically impose responsibility and liability without regard to whether such
person knew of or caused the releases, and the liability under such laws and
regulations has been interpreted to be joint and several, unless the harm is
divisible and there is a reasonable basis for allocation of responsibility. The
cost of investigating and remediating such contamination may be substantial, and
the presence of such contamination, or the failure to properly remediate it, may
adversely affect the owner's ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow
using such property as collateral. In addition, the owner of a site may be
subject to governmental fines and common law claims by third parties seeking to
recover damages and costs resulting from such contamination.
Certain other federal, state and local laws and regulations govern the
management and disposal of asbestos containing materials ("ACMs"). Such laws
and regulations may impose liability for the release of ACMs and may provide for
third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators of such property for
personal injury associated with ACMs. In connection with the ownership and
operation of its properties, the Company may be potentially liable for such
costs. ACMs have been detected at certain of the Properties, but are not
expected to result in material environmental costs or liabilities to the
Company. Federal, state and local laws and regulations also require the removal
or upgrading of certain underground storage tanks and regulate the discharge of
storm water, wastewater and any water pollutants, the emission of air
pollutants, the generation, management and disposal of hazardous or toxic
chemicals, substances or wastes, and workplace health and safety.
Life Science Industry tenants, including certain of the Company's tenants,
engage in various research and development activities involving the controlled
use of hazardous materials, chemicals, biological and radioactive compounds.
Although the Company believes that the tenants' activities involving such
materials comply in all material respects with applicable laws and regulations,
the risk of contamination or injury from these materials cannot be completely
eliminated. In the event of such contamination or injury, the Company could be
held liable for any damages that result, and any such liability could exceed the
Company's resources and its environmental remediation coverage.
All of the Properties have been, and it is contemplated that all future
acquisitions will be, subjected to a Phase I or similar environmental assessment
(which generally includes a site inspection, interviews and a records review,
but no subsurface sampling). These assessments and certain follow-up
investigations (including, as appropriate, asbestos, radon and lead surveys,
additional public records review, subsurface sampling and other testing) of the
Properties have not revealed any environmental liability that the Company
believes would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or
results of operations. Nevertheless, it is possible that the assessments on the
Properties have not revealed, or that the assessments on future acquisitions
will not reveal, all environmental liabilities and that there may be material
environmental liabilities of which the Company is unaware.
The Company believes that the Properties currently are in compliance in all
material respects with applicable environmental laws.
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act
of 1990 (the "ADA"), places of public accommodation and/or commercial facilities
are required to meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by
disabled persons. Although management of the Company believes that the
Properties are substantially in compliance with the present requirements of the
ADA, the Company may incur additional costs in connection with such
4
compliance in the future. In addition, a number of additional federal, state
and local laws and regulations exist that may require modifications to the
Company's properties, or affect certain future renovations thereof, with respect
to access by disabled persons. Non-compliance with the ADA could result in the
imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants, and also could
result in an order to correct any non-complying feature. Under certain of the
Company's leases, the tenant is responsible for ensuring that the property
complies with all laws and regulations, including the ADA. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company may be required to make substantial capital expenditures
to comply with this law. In addition, provisions of the ADA may impose
limitations or restrictions on the completion of certain renovations and thus
may limit the overall returns on the Company's investments.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION REGARDING INDUSTRY SEGMENTS AND OPERATIONS.
The Company currently is involved only in the real estate industry
segment within the United States; the Company has no foreign operations.
Accordingly, all financial statements contained herein relate to such
industry segment. See "Item 2. Properties" and "Item 8. Financial Statements
and Supplementary Data" for detailed financial information regarding the
Company's business.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1997, the Company had 18 full-time employees.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
GENERAL.
The Properties range in size from approximately 30,000 to 250,000 square
feet, are built to accommodate single or multiple tenants and are generally one
or two story concrete tilt-up or block and steel frame structures. The
exteriors typically resemble traditional suburban office properties, but
interior infrastructures are designed to accommodate the needs of Life Science
Industry tenants. Such improvements typically are generic to Life Science
Industry tenants rather than specific to a particular tenant. As a result,
management believes that the improvements have long-term value and utility and
are readily usable by a wide range of Life Science Industry tenants. Generic
infrastructure improvements for each Property include: reinforced concrete
floors, upgraded roof loading capacity and increased floor to ceiling heights;
heavy-duty HVAC systems and advanced environmental control technology;
significantly upgraded electrical, gas and plumbing infrastructure; and
laboratory benches.
The Company owns fee simple title in each of the Properties, except with
respect to 1311, 1401 and 1431 Harbor Bay Parkway, in which the Company owns a
commercial condominium interest, together with an undivided interest in the
common areas of the project in which the Property is a part.
Leases in the Company's multi-tenant buildings typically have terms of
three to seven years, while the single-tenant building leases typically have
terms of 10 to 20 years. As of December 31, 1997, approximately 76% of the
Company's leases (on a square footage basis) were triple net leases,
requiring tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes and insurance,
common area and other operating expenses (including increases thereto) in
addition to base rent. In addition, approximately 19% of the Company's
leases (on a square footage basis) required the tenants to pay a majority of
operating expenses. The remaining leases were gross leases, pursuant to which
tenants generally pay for substantially all real estate taxes and insurance,
common area and other operating expenses above those for an established base
year. Approximately 64% of the Company's leases (on a square footage basis)
contained effective annual rent escalations that are either fixed (ranging
from 2.5% to 4.0%) or indexed based on a consumer price index or other index.
In addition, approximately 77% of the Company's leases (on a square footage
basis) provided for the recapture of certain capital expenditures (such as
HVAC systems maintenance and/or replacement, roof replacement and parking
lot resurfacing), which the Company believes would typically be borne by the
landlord in traditional office leases. The leases also typically give the
Company the right to review and approve tenant alterations to the property.
Generally, tenant-installed improvements remain the property of the Company
after termination of the lease. However, the Company is permitted under the
terms of most of its leases to require that the tenant remove such
improvements and restore the premises to their original condition. As of
December 31, 1997, the Company had 42 leases with a total of 35 tenants, and
12 of the Properties were single-tenant properties.
5
As of December 31, 1997, the Company managed 21 of the Properties, and the
remaining Property was managed by a major tenant at such Property. All material
decisions with respect to all of the Properties are made by the Company.
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the
Properties as of December 31, 1997:

MATTERS.
The Common Stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE")
on May 28, 1997 under the symbol "ARE." On March 27, 1998, the last reported
sales price per share of Common Stock on the NYSE was $31 5/8, and there were
approximately 168 holders of record of the Common Stock (excluding beneficial
owners whose shares are held in the name of CEDE & Co.). The following table
sets forth the quarterly high and low sales prices per share of the Common
Stock reported on the NYSE and the distributions paid by Alexandria with
respect to each such period.

(1) Period commencing on date Common Stock began trading on the NYSE and ending
on March 27, 1998. Prior to the Offering and the 1,765.923 to 1 stock
split in connection therewith, Alexandria paid the following dividends on
its Common Stock during 1996 and 1997: (1) March 26, 1996, distribution
of Warrants, pro rata, to purchase 117,362 shares of common stock of Corixa
Corporation; (2) September 30, 1996, $183.30 per share; (3) February 3,
1997, $1,549.82 per share; (4) March 31, 1997, $750.01 per share; and (5)
June 5, 1997, $475.00 per share.
(2) Alexandria paid a distribution of $0.1275 per share of Common Stock on
July 18, 1997 for the period May 28, 1997 through June 30, 1997, which is
approximately equivalent to a quarterly distribution of $0.40 per share for
the full calendar quarter.
(3) On February 26, 1998, the Board of Directors of Alexandria authorized
the payment of a distribution of $0.40 per share of Common Stock for the
quarter ending March 31, 1998 to be paid on April 17, 1998 to holders of
record as of the close of business on April 7, 1998.
Future distributions by Alexandria will be determined by the Board of
Directors and will be dependent upon a number of factors, including actual
cash available for distribution, the Company's financial condition and
capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT
provisions of the Code and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems
relevant. To maintain its qualification as a REIT, Alexandria must make
annual distributions to stockholders of at least 95% of its taxable income,
determined without regard to deductions for dividends paid and by excluding
any net capital gains. Under certain circumstances, Alexandria may be
required to make distributions in excess of cash flow available for
distribution to meet such distribution requirements. In such case, the
Company may borrow funds or may raise funds through the issuance of
additional debt or equity capital. There can be no assurance that any such
distributions will be made by Alexandria.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this
Form 10-K.
OVERVIEW
Since its formation in October 1994, the Company has devoted substantially
all of its resources to the acquisition and management of high quality,
strategically located Life Science Facilities leased principally to tenants in
the Life Science Industry in its target markets.
In June 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering (the
"Offering") of its common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common
Stock"). In connection with the Offering (and related exercise of the
underwriters' over-allotment option), 7,762,500 shares of Common Stock were
issued. Aggregate proceeds from the Offering (including proceeds from the
exercise of the over-allotment option), net of underwriting discounts and
commissions, advisory fees and offering costs, were approximately $138.9
million.
The Company receives income from rental revenue (including tenant
recoveries) from its properties. Of the 22 properties owned by the Company
as of December 31, 1997 (the "Properties"), four were acquired in calendar
year 1994, eight in 1996 (the "1996 Acquired Properties"), three in 1997 in
connection with the Offering and seven in 1997 subsequent to the Offering
(together, the "1997 Acquired Properties"). As a result of the Company's
acquisition activities, the financial data shows significant increases in
total revenues and expenses for 1997 compared to 1996, largely attributable
to the 1997 Acquired Properties, and the recognition of a full year of
revenues for the 1996 Acquired Properties. For the foregoing reasons, and
due to the effects of the Offering and related transactions, the Company does
not believe its year-to-year historical financial data are comparable.
Accordingly, the Company also has included pro forma financial information,
which gives effect to the Offering and the acquisitions made in 1996 and 1997
in connection therewith.
13
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1996
Rental revenue increased by $12.7 million, or 98%, to $25.6 million for
1997 compared to $12.9 million for 1996. The increase resulted primarily
from the 1996 Acquired Properties being owned for a full period and the
addition of the 1997 Acquired Properties, which together contributed an
additional $12.5 million of rental revenue in 1997. Rental revenue from the
Properties owned since January 1, 1996 (the "Same Properties") increased by
$180,000, or 2%. This increase resulted primarily from the conversion of
19,310 square feet of storage space to higher rent laboratory space at 10933
North Torrey Pines Road in October 1996.
Tenant recoveries increased by $4.2 million, or 100%, to $8.4 million
for 1997 compared to $4.2 million for 1996. The increase resulted primarily
from the 1996 Acquired Properties being owned for a full period and the
addition of the 1997 Acquired Properties, which together contributed an
additional $3.8 million of tenant recoveries. Tenant recoveries for the Same
Properties increased by $416,000, or 19%, due to an increase in operating
expenses (particularly utilities) being passed through to the tenants.
Other income increased by $273,000, or 48%, to $836,000 for 1997
compared to $563,000 for 1996, resulting from an increase in interest income
due to the investment of excess funds from the Offering and increased amounts
in capital improvement reserve accounts.
Rental operating expenses increased by $4.4 million, or 100%, to $8.8
million for 1997 compared to $4.4 million for 1996. The increase resulted
almost entirely from the 1996 Acquired Properties being owned for a full
period and the addition of the 1997 Acquired Properties, which together
contributed an additional $4.0 million in operating expenses. Operating
expenses for the Same Properties increased by $401,000, or 17%, primarily due
to increased utility expenses (due to greater usage) which were passed
through to the tenants.
General and administrative expenses increased by $504,000, or 26%, to
$2.5 million for 1997 compared to $2.0 million for 1996 due to the Company's
larger scope of operations and increased costs incurred as a result of being
a public company.
Special bonus of $353,000 in 1997 reflects a bonus paid to an officer of
the Company in connection with the Offering. Post retirement benefit expense
of $632,000 and $438,000 in 1997 and 1996, respectively, reflects an
adjustment for the non-cash accrual associated with a one-time post
retirement benefit for an officer of the Company. Stock compensation expense
of $4.2 million was recorded in 1997 for the non-recurring, non-cash expense
related to the issuance of stock grants and options to officers, directors
and certain employees of the Company principally in connection with the
Offering.
Interest expense increased by $716,000, or 11%, to $7.0 million for 1997
compared to $6.3 million for 1996. The increase resulted from indebtedness
incurred to acquire the 1996 Acquired Properties, offset by a reduction in
ongoing interest expense due to the payoff of $72.7 million in secured notes
payable in June 1997 with proceeds from the Offering.
Acquisition LLC financing costs of $7.0 million in 1997 represent the
portion of the purchase price of the membership interests in ARE
Acquisitions, LLC (the "Acquisition LLC") in excess of the cost incurred by
the Acquisition LLC to acquire its three Life Science Facilities.
Write-off of unamortized loan costs in 1997 represents the write-off of
$2.1 million in loan costs associated with $72.7 million of secured notes
repaid with proceeds of the Offering and $148,000 in loan costs associated
with the payoff of debt in November 1997.
14
Depreciation and amortization increased by $2.5 million, or 102%, to
$4.9 million for 1997 compared to $2.4 million for 1996. The increase
resulted primarily from depreciation associated with the 1996 Acquired
Properties being owned for a full period and the addition of the 1997
Acquired Properties.
As a result of the foregoing, the net loss was $2.8 million for 1997
compared to net income of $2.2 million for 1996.
COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
Rental revenue increased by $4.9 million, or 61%, to $12.9 million for
the year ended December 31, 1996 compared to $8.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995. The increase resulted primarily from the 1996 Acquired
Properties, which contributed an additional $4.6 million of rental revenue in
1996. Rental revenue from the Properties owned since January 1, 1995 (the
"1995 Same Properties") increased by $370,000, or 5%. Of this increase,
$320,000 resulted from a full year of rental income in 1996 resulting from
the increase in occupancy at 11099 North Torrey Pines Road during 1995.
Tenant recoveries increased by $2.5 million, or 147%, to $4.2 million
for 1996 compared to $1.7 million for 1995. The increase resulted primarily
from the addition of the 1996 Acquired Properties, which contributed an
additional $2.1 million of tenant recoveries. Tenant recoveries from the
1995 Same Properties increased by $395,000, or 23%. Of this increase,
$300,000 resulted from a new lease at 11099 North Torrey Pines Road. The
remaining increase resulted primarily from a new energy management system at
10933 North Torrey Pines Road that allows the Company to more accurately
measure and recover from its tenants certain costs of utility usage.
Other income increased by $359,000, or 176%, to $563,000 for 1996
compared to $204,000 for 1995. The increase resulted primarily from the
addition of the 1996 Acquired Properties, which contributed an additional
$337,000 of other income.
Rental operating expenses increased by $2.2 million, or 100%, to $4.4
million for 1996 compared to $2.2 million for 1995. The increase resulted
primarily from the addition of the 1996 Acquired Properties, which
contributed an additional $2.0 million of rental operating expenses. Rental
operating expenses from the 1995 Same Properties increased by $162,000, or
7%, primarily as a result of an increase in expenses at 10933 North Torrey
Pines Road.
General and administrative expenses increased by $364,000, or 23%, to
$2.0 million for 1996 compared to $1.6 million for 1995. The increase
resulted primarily from additional professional fees incurred during 1996.
Post-retirement benefit expense in 1996 represents the non-cash accrual
associated with a one-time post-retirement benefit for an officer of the
Company.
Interest expense increased by $2.8 million, or 80%, to $6.3 million for
1996 compared to $3.5 million for 1995. The increase resulted primarily from
indebtedness incurred to acquire the 1996 Acquired Properties, which
contributed an additional $2.3 million of interest expense, and debt
outstanding under the Company's then-existing unsecured line of credit, which
was repaid in July 1996.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $737,000, or 44%, to $2.4
million for 1996 compared to $1.7 million for 1995. The increase resulted
primarily from depreciation associated with the 1996 Acquired Properties.
As a result of the foregoing, net income increased by $1.4 million, or
184%, to $2.2 million for 1996 compared to $761,000 for 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
THE OFFERING AND SECURED DEBT
The Company completed the Offering in June 1997. Aggregate proceeds of
the Offering (including proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment
option), net of underwriting discounts and commissions, advisory fees, and
offering costs, were approximately $138.9 million. The Company used such net
proceeds, as well as $15.4 million in proceeds from two new mortgage loans,
to repay outstanding debt of approximately $77.7 million. In addition, in
November 1997, the Company paid off $6.7 million of secured debt with funds
from its unsecured line of credit obtained in connection with the Offering.
Total secured debt as of December 31, 1997 included the following:

UNSECURED LINE OF CREDIT
In connection with the Offering, the Company obtained an unsecured line
of credit providing for borrowings of up to $150 million, consisting of a
$100 million activated portion and a $50 million portion that may be
activated as needed at the Company's discretion (upon payment of an
activation fee) provided that no default exists thereunder. The line of
credit provides for borrowings bearing interest at a floating rate based on
the Company's election of either a LIBOR based rate or the higher of the
bank's reference rate and the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%. For each LIBOR
based advance, the Company must elect to fix the rate for a one, two, three
or six month period.
The line of credit contains financial covenants, including, among other
things, maintenance of minimum market net worth, a total liabilities to gross
asset value ratio, and a fixed charge coverage ratio (all as defined). The
Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of December 31, 1997.
In addition, the terms of the line of credit restrict, among other things,
certain investments, indebtedness, distributions and mergers. Borrowings
under the line of credit are limited to an amount based on a pool of
unencumbered assets. Accordingly, as the Company acquires additional
unencumbered properties, borrowings available under the line of credit will
increase. As of December 31, 1997, borrowings under the line of credit were
limited to approximately $103 million, and $23 million was outstanding
(leaving $80 million available), at a weighted average rate of interest of
6.9%.
The line of credit expires on May 31, 2000 and provides for annual
extensions (provided there is no default) for two additional one-year periods
upon notice by the Company and consent of the participating banks. In
addition, at the Company's election, the line of credit may be converted at
any time to a term loan with principal installments over two years from the
date of such conversion.
RESTRICTED CASH
As of December 31, 1997, approximately $3.4 million had been set aside
in a restricted cash account to complete the upgrade of laboratory space (as
well as certain related improvements to the property) at 1102/1124 Columbia
Street pursuant to an agreement between the Company and a tenant. The
Company also holds approximately $758,000 in security deposit reserve
accounts based on the terms of certain lease agreements.
16
LIQUIDITY REQUIREMENTS
Although cash from operations required to fund interest expense has
decreased substantially as a result of the Company's reduction in overall
debt following the Offering, such reduction has been offset by an increased
requirement to use cash from operations to meet distribution requirements to
maintain the Company's REIT status. The Company expects to make
distributions from cash available for distribution, which is expected to
exceed cash historically available for distribution as a result of the
reduction in debt described above, as well as the addition of the 1996 and
1997 Acquired Properties. Cash that accumulates on a short-term basis will
be used to reduce outstanding balances under the Company's unsecured line of
credit or will be invested by the Company primarily in interest-bearing
accounts and other short-term, interest-bearing securities that are
consistent with the Company's qualification for taxation as a REIT. The
Company also believes that net cash provided by operations will be sufficient
to fund its recurring non-revenue enhancing capital expenditures, tenant
improvements and leasing commissions.
The Company expects to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements,
such as property acquisitions, scheduled debt maturities, renovations,
expansions and other non-recurring capital improvements, through long-term
secured and unsecured indebtedness, including borrowings under the line of
credit, and the issuance of additional debt and/or equity securities.
EXPOSURE TO ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES
In connection with the acquisition of all of the Properties, the Company
has obtained Phase I environmental assessments to ascertain the existence of
any environmental liabilities or other issues. The Phase I environmental
assessments of the Properties have not revealed any environmental liabilities
that the Company believes would have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole, nor
is the Company aware of any such material environmental liabilities.
HISTORICAL CASH FLOWS
Net cash provided by operating activities for 1997 increased by $5.5
million to $3.9 million compared to net cash used by operating activities of
$(1.6) million for 1996. The increase resulted primarily from operating cash
flows from the addition of the 1996 Acquired Properties and the 1997 Acquired
Properties.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $7.3 million to
$(87.6) million for 1997 compared to net cash used in investing activities of
$(94.9) million for 1996. This use of cash related primarily to costs
associated with the acquisition of the 1997 Acquired Properties.
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $13.2 million to
$84.1 million for 1997 compared to $97.3 million for 1996. The decrease was
impacted by $85.8 million of principal reductions in debt, retired
principally with proceeds from the Offering, offset by $138.9 million in net
proceeds from the Offering, $15.4 million in proceeds from secured debt, and
$25.5 million in proceeds from unsecured lines of credit. In addition, the
Company paid dividends on the Common Stock of $8.8 million and dividends on
preferred stock of $1.1 million during 1997.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES, TENANT IMPROVEMENTS AND LEASING COSTS
The following table sets forth total and weighted average per square
foot capital expenditures (excluding those expenditures which are recoverable
from tenants or are revenue-enhancing) and tenant improvements and leasing
costs for the period from October 1994 (inception of operations) to December
31, 1994, and for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997,
attributable to leases that commenced at the Properties after acquisition by
the Company.

Capital expenditures may fluctuate in any given period subject to the
nature, extent, and timing of improvements required and to the extent they
are recoverable from tenants. The Company maintains an active preventive
maintenance program in order to minimize required capital improvements.
Tenant improvements and leasing costs also may fluctuate in any given
year depending upon factors such as the timing and extent of vacancies, the
type of lease (renewal or replacement tenant), the involvement of external
leasing agents and overall competitive market conditions.
INFLATION
As of December 31, 1997, approximately 76% of the Company's leases (on a
square footage basis) were triple net leases, requiring tenants to pay
substantially all real estate taxes and insurance, common area and other
operating expenses (including increases thereto). In addition, approximately
19% of the Company's leases (on a square footage basis) required the tenants
to pay a majority of operating expenses. In addition, approximately 64% of
the Company's leases (on a square footage basis) contain effective annual
rent escalations that are either fixed (ranging from 2.5% to 4.0%) or indexed
based on the consumer price index or other index. Accordingly, the Company
does not believe that its earnings or cash flow are subject to any
significant risk of inflation. An increase in inflation, however, could
result in an increase in the Company's variable rate borrowing cost,
including borrowings under the unsecured line of credit.
IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000
The Company has evaluated the significance of the change from the year
1999 to the year 2000 on its existing computer system and has taken steps to
ensure that its computer system will not be adversely affected thereby. The
financial impact of steps taken to accommodate the change for the year 2000
is not anticipated to be material. The Company relies in part on the
computer systems of its vendors and other companies. If any such company
failed to become year 2000 compliant, the Company could be adversely affected
thereby. The Company has surveyed several of its larger vendors, and all have
responded that they either are currently year 2000 compliant, or are actively
taking steps to become year 2000 compliant.

PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Due to the impact of the Offering and related transactions and the
acquisitions by the Company in 1996 and 1997, the historical results of
operations are not indicative of the Company's future results of operations.
The following pro forma condensed consolidated financial information presents
the results of operations of the Company as if the Offering (including the
exercise of the over-allotment option) and related transactions occurred on
January 1, 1996. Pro forma results for the year ended December 31, 1997 do
not include the operations of two of the Properties (14225 Newbrook Drive and
1330 Piccard Drive) for the period prior to their acquisition by the
Acquisition LLC (on January 13, 1997 and January 15, 1997, respectively).
These Properties were owner-occupied prior to purchase and, as a result,
there were no historical operating results for these Properties as rental
properties. The adjusted pro forma financial information presented below
assumes that the new leases entered into with the sellers of such Properties
were in effect for the entire period presented. The pro forma and adjusted
pro forma financial information presented below is based upon historical
information and various assumptions and does not purport to present the
actual results that would have occurred had the Offering and related
transactions occurred on January 1, 1996, nor to project the Company's
results of operations for any future period.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
Management believes that funds from operations ("FFO") is helpful to
investors as a measure of the performance of an equity REIT because, along
with cash flows from operating activities, financing activities and investing
activities, it provides investors with an understanding of the ability of the
Company to incur and service debt, to make capital expenditures and to make
distributions. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards
established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") in its March 1995 White Paper (the "White
Paper"), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized
by other equity REITs, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other
REITs. Further, FFO does not represent
19
amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed
capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other
commitments and uncertainties. The White Paper defines FFO as net income
(loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals
("GAAP")), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring, sales of
property and unusual items, plus real estate related depreciation and
amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income
(determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Company's
financial performance or to cash flows from operating activities (determined
in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it
indicative of funds available to fund the Company's cash needs, including its
ability to make distributions. (See "-Historical Cash Flows" for information
regarding these measures of cash flow).
The following tables present the Company's FFO for the year ended 1997
on a historical, pro forma and adjusted pro forma basis and for the years
ended 1996 and 1995 on a historical basis. The adjusted pro forma
information for the year ended December 31, 1997 assumes that leases entered
into with sellers of previously owner-occupied properties were in effect for
the entire period presented:

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Alexandria
Real Estate Equities, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December
31, 1997, and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1997,
1996 and 1995. Our audits also included the consolidated financial statement
Schedule III, rental properties and accumulated depreciation. These
consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement
schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
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 audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of the Company as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated results
of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1997,
1996 and 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Also, in our opinion, the related consolidated financial statement schedule
referred to above, when considered in relation to the consolidated financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the
information set forth therein.

Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1997 and 1996
1. BACKGROUND, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
BACKGROUND
Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (known as Health Science Properties,
Inc. prior to 1997), a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), is a real estate
investment trust ("REIT") formed in 1994.
The Company and its subsidiaries were formed to acquire, manage and
selectively develop properties for lease principally to participants in the
life science industry ("Life Science Facilities"). As of December 31, 1997
and 1996, the Company owned 22 and 12 Life Science Facilities, respectively,
in four and three states, respectively, consisting of 1,748,000 and 1,031,000
rentable square feet, respectively.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiaries which own, directly or indirectly, Life
Science Facilities. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
THE INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On June 2, 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering (the
"Offering") of 6,750,000 shares of common stock. The Offering price was
$20.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $135,000,000. On June 26,
1997, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option provided for in
the Offering, and the Company issued an additional 1,012,500 shares of common
stock, resulting in additional gross proceeds of $20,250,000. The aggregate
net proceeds of the Offering (including exercise of the over-allotment
option), net of underwriting discounts and commissions, advisory fees and
offering costs, were approximately $138,890,000.

POLICIES (CONTINUED)
THE INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
The following transactions also occurred in June 1997 in connection with the
Offering:
- - The Company paid off debt of approximately $77,723,000, including (i)
mortgage debt of $72,698,000, (ii) debt of $2,500,000 outstanding under
its prior unsecured line of credit, and (iii) debt of $2,525,000 to Health
Science Properties Holding Corporation ("Holdings"). Holdings owned all of
the Company's common stock prior to the Offering and 15.5% of the common
stock of the Company after the Offering and the exercise of the over-
allotment option.
- - The Company obtained two new mortgage loans totaling $15,360,000.
- - The Company acquired an entity that owns three Life Science Facilities
from affiliates of PaineWebber Incorporated, the lead managing underwriter
for the Offering, for an aggregate purchase price of $58,844,000 (see
Note 9).
- - Each previously outstanding share of the Company's common stock was split
into 1,765.923 shares of common stock. The share data as of and for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 has been restated to reflect the
effects of the stock split.
- - All of the previously outstanding shares of Series T preferred stock were
redeemed at their stated value ($1,200 in the aggregate) (see Note 6).
- - All of the previously outstanding shares of Series U preferred stock and
Series V preferred stock were converted into shares of common stock (7,354
shares in the aggregate for Series U and 1,659,239 shares in the aggregate
for Series V) (see Note 6).
- - Officers, directors and certain employees of the Company were granted an
aggregate of 152,615 shares of the Company's common stock. In addition,
officers, directors and certain employees of the Company were granted
options to purchase 57,000 shares of the Company's common stock in
substitution for stock options previously issued by Holdings (see Notes 5
and 8). These options were exercised at a nominal exercise price in
connection with the Offering.

THE INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
- - Officers, directors and employees of the Company were granted options
under the Company's 1997 stock option plan to purchase an aggregate of
600,000 shares of common stock of the Company at the Offering price (see
Note 8).
- - A special bonus of $353,000 was paid to an officer of the Company.
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 assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
RENTAL PROPERTIES
Rental properties consist of the Company's portfolio of Life Science
Facilities, recorded at cost. Costs associated with acquiring and renovating
properties are capitalized as incurred. If events or circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of a property may be impaired, the Company would
make an assessment of its recoverability by estimating the future
undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property. If the
carrying amount were to exceed the aggregate future cash flows, the Company
would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds
the fair value of the property. Based upon such periodic assessments, no
impairment has been determined and no rental properties carrying amounts have
been adjusted.

1. BACKGROUND, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES (CONTINUED)
RENTAL PROPERTIES (CONTINUED)
Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Major replacements and
betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method using estimated lives
of 30 to 40 years for buildings and building improvements, 20 years for land
improvements, and the term of the respective lease for tenant improvements.
RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, consists of a tenant
improvement reserve of $3,364,000 and $4,715,000, respectively, established
by the Company pursuant to a lease at one of the Company's properties, funds
held in trust of $1,966,000 and none, respectively, as additional security on
a note with the City of Seattle, and security deposit funds and other
restricted cash of $1,469,000 and $870,000, respectively. In connection with
the repayment of the note with the City of Seattle, the cash held in trust was
returned to the Company in February 1998 (see Note 4).
LOAN FEES AND COSTS
Fees and costs incurred in obtaining long-term financing are amortized over
the terms of the related loans and included in interest expense.
RENTAL INCOME
Rental income from leases with scheduled rent increases, free rent and other
rent adjustments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Amounts currently recognized as income, and expected to be received in later
years, are included in tenant receivables and deferred rent. Amounts received
currently, but recognized as income in future years, are included in unearned
rent.
OTHER INCOME
Other income consists of interest income and other income associated with the
operations of the properties. Interest income was $588,000, $118,000 and
$57,000 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

LEASING COMMISSIONS
Leasing commissions are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of
the related lease.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following disclosures of estimated fair value of financial instruments at
December 31, 1997 and 1996 were determined by management using available
market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable
judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair
value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation
methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank
loans with similar maturities, the fair value of secured notes payable as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996 is approximately $46,822,000 and $113,215,000,
respectively. All other financial instruments are stated at amounts that
approximate their fair value.
NET (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE
Historical per share data has not been presented because it is not meaningful
due to the material changes in the Company's capital structure as a result of
the Offering.
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128
("FAS 128") and has restated pro forma net income per share for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. Because the impact of the Company's stock
options outstanding as of December 31, 1997 is antidilutive, diluted net
income per share is not presented for 1997. There were no dilutive stock
options on a pro forma basis for 1996 and 1995.

INCOME TAXES
As a REIT, the Company is not subject to federal income taxation as long as
it meets a number of organizational and operational requirements and
distributes all of its taxable income to its stockholders. Since the Company
believes it has met these requirements and the Company's distributions
exceeded taxable income, no federal income tax provision has been reflected
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for 1997 and 1996. If
the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will
be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate
tax rates. For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company reported that
37.6% of its distributions with respect to common stock represented a return
of capital for federal income tax purposes, while none of the distributions
for the year ended December 31, 1996 represented a return of capital.
For the year ended December 31, 1995, before the Company elected to be taxed
as a REIT, deferred income taxes were recognized for tax consequences of
temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for
financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods and tax net
operating loss carryforwards.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation.

2. RENTAL PROPERTIES (CONTINUED)
Four of the Company's rental properties are encumbered by deeds of trust and
assignments of rents and leases associated with the properties (see Note 4).
The net book value of these properties as of December 31, 1997 is $70,663,000.
The Company leases space under noncancelable leases with remaining terms of 1
to 20 years. Certain tenants are also obligated to reimburse the Company for
specific operating expenses.
The Company capitalizes interest to properties under construction and
renovation during the period the asset is undergoing activities to prepare it
for its intended use. Total interest capitalized was $96,000 in 1997. Total
interest incurred for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was
$7,139,000, $6,327,000 and $3,553,000, respectively.
A majority of the Company's lease agreements require that the lessee pay all
taxes, maintenance, insurance and certain other operating expenses applicable
to the leased properties.
Minimum lease payments to be received under the terms of the operating lease
agreements, excluding expense reimbursements, as of December 31, 1997, are as

credit providing for borrowings of up to $150,000,000, consisting of a
$100,000,000 activated portion and a $50,000,000 portion that may be activated
as needed at the Company's discretion (upon the payment of an activation fee)
provided no default exists under the line of credit facility. Borrowings under
the line of credit bear interest at a floating rate which is based on the
Company's election of either a LIBOR based rate or the higher of the bank's
reference rate and the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%. For each LIBOR based

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
3. UNSECURED LINE OF CREDIT (CONTINUED)
advance, the Company must elect to fix the rate for a one, two, three or six
month period.
The line of credit contains financial covenants, including, among other
things, maintenance of minimum market net worth, a total liabilities to gross
asset value ratio, and a fixed charge coverage ratio (all as defined). The
Company was in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 1997. In
addition, the terms of the line of credit restrict, among other things,
certain investments, indebtedness, distributions and mergers. Borrowings
under the line of credit are limited to an amount based on a pool of
unencumbered assets. Accordingly, as the Company acquires additional
unencumbered properties, borrowings available under the line credit will
increase. As of December 31, 1997, borrowings under the line of credit were
limited to approximately $103,000,000, and $23,000,000 was outstanding
(leaving $80,000,000 available), at a weighted average rate of interest of
6.9%.
The line of credit expires on May 31, 2000 and provides for annual extensions
(provided there is no default) for two additional one-year periods. In
addition, at the Company's election, the line of credit may be converted at
any time to a term loan with principal installments over two years from the
date of such conversion.
In connection with obtaining the line of credit, the Company incurred
$705,000 in fees and costs, which are being amortized over the term of the
line of credit. In addition, the Company is required to continue to pay
certain periodic fees for the line of credit, depending on the usage of the
facility. The fees are included as part of interest expense.
4. SECURED NOTES PAYABLE
As of December 31, 1997, the Company had three notes payable to banks and an
insurance company, secured by first and second deeds of trust on four rental
properties. The notes bear interest at fixed rates ranging from 7.17% to
9.00% and are due at various dates through 2016. As of December 31, 1997 and
1996, the outstanding balances under these notes were $47,817,000 and
$61,292,000, respectively.
As of December 31, 1996, the Company had an aggregate of $51,890,000
outstanding under two notes payable and two secured lines of credit with
PaineWebber Incorporated, the City of Seattle and two banks. The loans bore
interest at variable rates based upon LIBOR or the prime rate. As of December
31, 1996, the interest rates on these loans ranged from 8.28% to 9.75%. In
connection with the Offering, the Company repaid $46,030,000 of the balance
outstanding as of December 31, 1996. The remaining

$5,860,000 was repaid in November 1997. In connection with the retirement of
these loans, the Company wrote-off $2,147,000 of unamortized loan costs,
including the cost of certain interest rate cap agreements.
Future principal payments due on secured notes payable as of December 31,
1997, are as follows (in thousands):

5. NON-CASH TRANSACTIONS
Stock compensation expense represents non-cash compensation expense
associated with stock grants and stock options issued to officers, directors
and certain employees of the Company in connection with the Offering. Stock
compensation expense of $4,239,000 was recognized to record the stock grants
and the issuance and exercise of substitute stock options (see Note 8).
In connection with the Offering, outstanding shares of the Company's Series U
preferred stock and Series V preferred stock were converted into shares of
common stock (see Note 6). The common stock issued was recorded at the book
value of the Series U preferred stock and the Series V preferred stock (an
aggregate of $27,061,000).
6. PREFERRED STOCK AND EXCESS STOCK
SERIES V CUMULATIVE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
Prior to the Offering, the Company had 27,500 shares of manditorily
redeemable Series V cumulative convertible preferred stock outstanding. The
stated value of each share was $1,000. In connection with the Offering, the
shares were converted into 1,659,239 shares of common stock. The conversion
rate was computed to provide for an internal rate of return on the stated
value of each share, equal to 20% less the return previously received from
prior dividends.
F-15
Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
6. PREFERRED STOCK AND EXCESS STOCK (CONTINUED)
SERIES V CUMULATIVE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK (CONTINUED)
Prior to conversion, Series V preferred stockholders were entitled to
dividends at an annual rate of 10% of the stated value per share during the
first twelve dividend periods or such larger amount as would be payable on an
as converted basis if the Series V preferred stock were converted to common
stock. Dividends were cumulative and payable in quarterly equal installments
on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year. Offering
costs associated with the issuance of the Series V preferred stock were
deducted from the proceeds of the issuance. Until the conversion of the
Series V preferred stock into shares of common stock in 1997, the Company
accreted the amount of the offering costs and the difference between the
minimum yield requirement on the Series V preferred stock (20% per annum) and
the minimum dividend payment as a charge to additional paid-in capital.
SERIES T AND SERIES U PREFERRED STOCK
Holders of each of the Series T and Series U preferred stock were entitled to
dividends at an annual rate of 8.5% of the stated value per share. In
connection with the Offering, all of the previously outstanding shares of
Series T preferred stock (12 shares) were redeemed at their stated value
($1,200 in the aggregate). In connection with the Offering, all of the
previously outstanding shares of Series U preferred stock (220 shares) were
converted into an aggregate of 7,354 shares of common stock.
PREFERRED STOCK AND EXCESS STOCK AUTHORIZATIONS
The charter of the Company authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000,000
shares of preferred stock and 200,000,000 shares of excess stock (as
defined), none of which was issued and outstanding at December 31, 1997.
7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LITIGATION
The Company currently is not subject to any material legal proceedings or
claims, nor, to management's knowledge, are any material legal proceedings or
claims being threatened.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
POST-RETIREMENT BENEFIT
In 1997, in connection with the Offering, an officer of the Company retired.
In connection with the officer's retirement, the Company agreed to pay a
post-retirement benefit equal to $150,000 for each of the first three years
following the Offering, and $90,000 per year (plus an annual increase of 2%
per year) thereafter for the remainder of the longer of the executive's life
and the executive's current spouse's life. In 1997 and 1996, the Company
recorded a post-retirement expense for past services equal to $632,000 and
$438,000, respectively (pursuant to a prior agreement). The accrual was based
upon the estimated number of payments to be made, discounted at a rate of 8%.
As of December 31, 1997, the accrued liability for post-retirement benefit is
$1,037,000. For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company paid $75,000
under the retirement agreement of which $42,000 represented interest.
EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
Effective January 1, 1997, the Company adopted a retirement savings plan
pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"), whereby
participants may contribute a portion of their compensation to their
respective retirement accounts, in an amount not to exceed the maximum
allowed under the Code. The plan provides for matching contributions by the
Company, which amounted to $36,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. Plan
participants are immediately vested in their contributions and in the
matching contributions by the Company.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents at insured financial
institutions. The combined account balances at each institution periodically
exceed FDIC insurance coverage, and, as a result, there is a concentration of
credit risk related to amounts in excess of FDIC insurance coverage.
Management believes that the risk is not significant.
The Company is dependent on rental payments from a limited number of tenants,
and the inability of any single tenant to make its lease payments could
adversely affect the Company and its ability to make distributions to
stockholders. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had 42 leases with a total
of 35 tenants, and 12 of the Company's 22 properties were single tenant
properties. At December 31, 1997, three of the Company's tenants accounted
for approximately 29.5% of the Company's aggregate annualized base rent.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK (CONTINUED)
The Company does not generally require collateral or other security from its
tenants other than security deposits. The Company has available from certain
tenants two irrevocable letters of credit totaling $858,000 which are used as
security deposits for two leases.
8. STOCK OPTION PLANS AND STOCK GRANTS
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and related
Interpretations in accounting for its employee and director stock options,
stock grants and stock appreciation rights. Under APB 25, if the exercise
price of employee and director stock options granted by the Company equals
the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no
compensation expense is recognized.
1997 STOCK OPTION PLAN
In connection with the Offering, the Company adopted a stock option and
incentive plan (the "1997 Stock Option Plan"). The 1997 Stock Option Plan is
administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and
provides for the grant of incentive stock options intended to qualify as such
under Section 422 of the Code, non-qualified stock options, stock
appreciation rights and restricted stock to employees, officers, directors
and independent contractors (including non-employee directors) of the Company
with respect to 900,000 shares of common stock. The 1997 Stock Option Plan
permits the Compensation Committee to select eligible employees, officers,
directors and independent contractors (including non-employee directors) of
the Company to receive awards, to determine the type and number of awards to
be granted and to determine the terms, conditions, restrictions and
performance criteria relating to any award. As of December 31, 1997, there
were 701,000 options outstanding under the 1997 Stock Option Plan. The
Company has reserved 900,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the
1997 Stock Option Plan.
During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company granted 701,000 stock
options under the 1997 stock option plan at exercise prices ranging from
$20.00 to $30.94 (the market price at date of grant). All of these options
have a ten year term. Options for 671,000 shares vest ratably in three annual
installments from the date of grant. The

8. STOCK OPTION PLANS AND STOCK GRANTS (CONTINUED)
1997 STOCK OPTION PLAN (CONTINUED)
remaining 30,000 options (which were issued to non-employee directors) were
exercisable immediately upon the date of grant.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share has been
determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options
under the fair value method. The fair value of the options issued under the
1997 Stock Option Plan was estimated at the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions for 1997: risk-free interest rate of 5.82%; dividend yield
ranging from 5.17% to 8%; volatility factor of the expected market price of
the Company's common stock of 28.7%; and a weighted average expected life of
the option of five years.
For purposes of the following pro forma disclosures for the year ended
December 31, 1997, the estimated fair value of these options has been
amortized to expense over the vesting periods (in thousands, except per share
information):

PRIOR STOCK OPTION PLAN
Prior to the Offering, the Company had a ten-year incentive and nonqualified
stock option plan (the "Prior Plan") for certain employees and non-employee
directors of the Company.
Under the Prior Plan, holders of options to purchase common stock of Holdings
granted under stock option plans of Holdings ("Holdings Stock Options") were
eligible, under certain circumstances (including the Offering), to receive
substitute stock options of the Company in substitution for previously
granted Holdings Stock Options. As such, in connection with the Offering,
officers, directors and certain employees of the Company received substitute
stock options to purchase 57,000 shares of common stock of the Company under
the Prior Plan. Such substitute stock options were exercised in connection
with the Offering at a nominal exercise price. No further stock options were
issued under the Prior Plan. In connection with the issuance of the
substitute stock options, the Company recognized $1,187,000 of stock
compensation expense.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding activity in
Holdings Stock Options, including (i) the grant date of the Holdings Stock
Options, (ii) the number of substitute stock options that were granted in
connection with the Offering in substitution for the underlying Holdings Stock
Options and (iii) the weighted average exercise price of substitute stock
options for shares of the Company's common stock.

9. PURCHASE OF ACQUISITION LLC
During January 1997, the Company assigned its rights to purchase three Life
Science Facilities to an entity owned by affiliates of PaineWebber
Incorporated ("PaineWebber"), the lead managing underwriter of the Offering
(the "Acquisition LLC"). In January 1997, the Acquisition LLC acquired the
three Life Science Facilities for $51,871,000 from unaffiliated sellers. In
connection with the Offering, the Company acquired 100% of the membership
interests in the Acquisition LLC from the PaineWebber affiliates.
The Company's purchase price for the membership interests ($58,844,000)
exceeded the cost incurred by the Acquisition LLC to acquire the properties
($51,871,000). The Company's acquisition of the membership interests in the
Acquisition LLC has been recorded as a financing transaction, with the excess
of the purchase price of such membership interests over the cost of the
Acquisition LLC to acquire the properties ($6,973,000) being reflected as a
financing cost in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company incurred $3,358,000, $1,708,000 and
$369,000, respectively, for legal services provided by a firm of which a
minority shareholder of Holdings is a member.
During 1996, Holdings advanced to the Company $2,483,000 bearing interest at a
rate of 10% per annum which was due on demand. For the year ended December 31,
1996, $162,000 of interest was accrued and $42,000 was paid on this advance.
During 1997 in connection with the Offering, the Company repaid this advance
plus accrued interest.
