The accompanying notes are an integral part of the pro forma financial statement. 20 22 FIRST INDUSTRIAL REALTY TRUST, INC. NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION. First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") was organized in the state of Maryland on August 10, 1993.

The accompanying unaudited proforma statement of operations for the Company reflects the historical operations of the Company for the period January 1, 1997 through June 30, 1997, the acquisition of one property on January 9, 1997 (the "1997 Acquisition Property") and 39 properties acquired on January 31, 1997 (the "Lazarus Burman Properties") which are reported on Form 8-K/A No.1 dated February 12, 1997, 15 properties (the "Punia Phase I Properties") acquired on June 30, 1997 and 27 properties acquired through October 31, 1997 and six properties to be acquired (the "Punia Phase II Properties") (together, the "Punia Acquisition Properties") which are reported on Form 8-K/A No.1 dated June 30, 1997, 11 properties acquired during the period February 1, 1997 through July 14, 1997 (the "Other 1997 Acquisition Properties") and two properties acquired during the period February 1, 1997 through July 14, 1997 (the "1997 Acquisition I Properties") reported on Form 8-K/A No. 2 dated June 30, 1997 and the acquisition of 91 properties on October 30, 1997 and the additional 15 properties to be acquired within the next several months (together, the "Pacifica Acquisition Properties"), 64 properties to be acquired by November 30, 1997 (the "Sealy Acquisition Properties"), seven properties acquired on October 17, 1997 (the "1997 Acquisition III Properties") and 25 properties acquired during the period July 15, 1997 through October 31, 1997 (the "1997 Acquisition II Properties") reported on this Form 8-K dated October 30, 1997. 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"), the 20,000 shares of $1 par value Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock issued on June 6, 1997 (the "Series C Preferred Stock Offering"), the 637,440 shares of $.01 par value common stock issued on September 16, 1997 (the "September 1997 Equity Offering") and the 5,400,000 shares of $.01 par value common stock issued on October 15, 1997 (the "October 1997 Equity Offering") had been completed on January 1, 1996. The unaudited pro forma financial statement is not necessarily indicative of what the Company's results of operations would have been for the six months ended June 30, 1997 had the properties been acquired as described above, nor do they purport to present the future results of operations of the Company. 2. PRO FORMA ASSUMPTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS - JUNE 30, 1997 (a) The historical operations reflect the operations of the Company for the period January 1, 1997 through June 30, 1997 as reported on the Company's Form 10-Q/A No.1 dated August 26, 1997. (b) The historical operations reflect the operations of the 1997 Acquisition Property for the period January 1, 1997 through the acquisition date of this property on January 9, 1997.

(f) The historical operations reflect the operations of the 1997 Acquisition I Properties for the period January 1, 1997 through the earlier of June 30, 1997 or their respective acquisition dates. (g) The historical operations reflect the operations of the Pacifica Acquisition Properties for the period January 1, 1997 through June 30, 1997. (h) The historical operations reflect the operations of the Sealy Acquisition Properties for the period January 1, 1997 through June 30, 1997.

(j) The historical operations reflect the operations of the 1997 Acquisition II Properties for the period January 1, 1997 through June 30, 1997. (k) In connection with the Lazarus Burman Properties acquisition, the Company assumed two mortgage loans totaling $4.5 million (the "Lazarus Burman Mortgage Loans"). The interest expense adjustment reflects interest on the Lazarus Burman Mortgage Loans for the pro forma period and as if such indebtedness was outstanding beginning January 1, 1996. The interest expense adjustment reflects an increase in the acquisition facility borrowings (at the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1%) for the assumed earlier purchase of the 1997 Acquisition Property, the Lazarus Burman Properties, the Punia Acquisition Properties, the Other 1997 Acquisition Properties, the 1997 Acquisition I Properties, the Pacifica Acquisition Properties, the Sealy Acquisition Properties, the 1997 Acquisition III Properties and the 1997 Acquisition II Properties offset by the interest savings related to the assumed repayment of $144.0 million of acquisition facility borrowings on January 1, 1996 from the proceeds of the Series B Preferred Stock Offering and Series C Preferred Stock Offering and the assumed repayment of $196.1 million of acquisition facility borrowings on January 1, 1996 from the proceeds of the September 1997 Equity Offering and the October 1997 Equity Offering. The depreciation and amortization adjustments reflect the charges for the 1997 Acquisition Property, the Lazarus Burman Properties, the Punia Acquisition Properties, the Other 1997 Acquisition Properties, the 1997 Acquisition I Properties, the Pacifica Acquisition Properties, the Sealy Acquisition Properties, the 1997 Acquisition III Properties and the 1997 Acquisition II Properties from January 1, 1997 through the earlier of their respective acquisition date or June 30, 1997 and if such properties were acquired on January 1, 1996. Income allocated to minority interest reflects income attributable to units in First Industrial, L.P. (the "Units") owned by unit holders other than the Company. The minority interest adjustment reflects a 12.5% minority interest for the six months ended June 30, 1997. This adjustment reflects the income to unitholders for Units issued in connection with certain property acquisitions as if such Units had been issued on January 1, 1996 and to reflect the completion of the Series B Preferred Stock Offering, the Series C Preferred Stock Offering, the September 1997 Equity Offering and the October 1997 Equity Offering as of January 1, 1996.
