                 ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     On June 30, 1997, First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. and its Subsidiaries
( the "Company"), through First Industrial, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"),
of which the Company is the sole general partner, acquired 12 light industrial
properties, two bulk warehouses and one office building (the "Punia Phase I
Properties") in New Jersey, totaling 697,778 square feet of gross leasable area
(the "Punia Phase I Acquisition").  The Punia Phase I Properties were acquired
for approximately $39.2 million which was funded with $36.0 million in cash and
the issuance of 107,516 limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership
(the "Units") valued at $3.2 million.  The $36 million in cash was funded with
borrowings under the Company's $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility
(the "1996 Unsecured Acquisition Facility") with a group of banks for which the
First National Bank of Chicago and the Union Bank of Switzerland act as agents.
The $36.0 million borrowed under the Company's 1996 Unsecured Acquisition
Facility currently bears interest at LIBOR plus 1%.  The Punia Phase I
Properties were acquired from Ethel Road Associates, Gamma Three Associates,
Jayeff Associates, RCP Associates, 244 Sheffield Associates, South Broad
Company, Suburban Roseland Associates, World's Fair 25 Associates, World's Fair
Associates, World's Fair Office Associates, and World's Fair V Associates
(together, the "Punia Group").  Prior to the Punia Phase I Acquisition, the
Punia Group was not affiliated with the Company, any affiliate of the Company
or any director or officer of the Company.  Following the Punia Phase I
Acquisition, Jeff Punia and Hayden Tiger were appointed Regional Directors.
The Punia Phase I Properties will continue to be used for light industrial,
bulk warehouse and office use under the existing lease terms.

     In connection with the Punia Phase I Acquisition, the Company completed
negotiations with the Punia Group to acquire an additional 33 properties
totaling 1,055,344 square feet of gross leasable area (the "Punia Phase II
Properties") and additional parcels of land for approximately $65.9 million
(the "Punia Phase II Acquisition").  The Punia Phase II Acquisition will be
funded with cash and Units and is scheduled to close by September 30, 1997.
The Punia Phase II Properties will be used for light industrial, bulk warehouse
and office use under the existing lease terms.

6 8 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Board of Directors of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. We have audited the accompanying combined historical statement of revenues and certain expenses of the 1997 Acquisition I Properties as described in Note 1 for the year ended December 31, 1996. This financial statement is the responsibility of the 1997 Acquisition I Properties' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The accompanying combined historical statement of revenues and certain expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Form 8-K/A No. 2 dated June 30, 1997 of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the 1997 Acquisition I Properties' revenues and expenses. In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses of the 1997 Acquisition I Properties for the year ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The unaudited Combined Historical Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1997 reflects, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim statement. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. The Statements exclude certain expenses such as interest, depreciation and amortization, professional fees, and other costs not directly related to the future operations of the 1997 Acquisition I Properties that may not be comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred in their proposed future operations. Management is not aware of any material factors relating to these properties which would cause the reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results. In order to conform with generally accepted accounting principles, management, in preparation of the Statements, is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and certain expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Revenue and Expense Recognition The Statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Rental income is recorded when due from tenants. The effects of scheduled rent increases and rental concessions, if any, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the tenant's lease. 9 11 1997 ACQUISITION I PROPERTIES NOTES TO COMBINED HISTORICAL STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 3.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial statement has been prepared based upon certain pro forma adjustments to the historical June 30, 1997 financial statements of the Company. The pro forma statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 has been prepared as if the properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 1996 had been acquired on either January 1, 1996 or the lease commencement date if the property was developed and as if the 40,000 shares of $1 par value Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock issued on May 14, 1997 (the "Series B Preferred Stock Offering") and the 20,000 shares of $1 par value Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock issued on June 6, 1997 (the "Series C Preferred Stock Offering") had been completed on January 1, 1996.
