1. Basis of Presentation.

     The Combined Historical Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses combine the results of operations of six operating industrial properties acquired by First Industrial, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), several limited liability companies, of which the Operating Partnership is the sole member, and First Industrial Development Services, Inc., of which the Operating Partnership is the sole stockholder (together, the “Consolidated Operating Partnership”), on January 22, 2004 (the “2004 Acquisition I Properties”).

     The statement has been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The statement has been prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and for inclusion in a current report on Form 8-K/A of the Consolidated Operating Partnership. The statement is not intended to be a complete presentation of the revenues and expenses of the 2004 Acquisition I Properties. The statement excludes certain expenses such as interest, depreciation and amortization, professional fees, and other costs not directly related to the future operations of the 2004 Acquisition I Properties that may not be comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred in 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.

Use of Estimates

     In order to conform with generally accepted accounting principles, management, in preparation of the statement, 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.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Revenue and Expense Recognition

     Rental income is recorded when due from tenants based upon lease terms. 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. Tenant recovery income includes payments from tenants for taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses and is recognized as revenue in the same period the related expenses are incurred.

     Property operating expenses represent the direct expenses of operating the 2004 Acquisition I Properties and include real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, utilities, insurance, and other property expenses that are expected to continue in the ongoing operation of the 2004 Acquisition I Properties. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

     The statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The statements have been prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and for inclusion in a current report on Form 8-K/A of the Consolidated Operating Partnership. The statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the revenues and expenses of the 2004 Acquisition II Properties. 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 2004 Acquisition II Properties that may not be comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred in 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.

Use of Estimates

     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.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Revenue and Expense Recognition

     Rental income is recorded when due from tenants based upon lease terms. 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. Tenant recovery income includes payments from tenants for taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses and is recognized as revenue in the same period the related expenses are incurred.

     Property operating expenses represent the direct expenses of operating the 2004 Acquisition II Properties and include real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, utilities, insurance, and other property expenses that are expected to continue in the ongoing operation of the 2004 Acquisition II Properties. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

FIRST INDUSTRIAL, L.P.
Pro Forma Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Background

     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 86.4% and 85.4% ownership interest at September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, respectively. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership owned approximately a 13.6% and 14.6% interest in the Operating Partnership at September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, respectively. The Company also owns a preferred general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership with an aggregate liquidation priority of $125,000. 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, several limited liability companies, of which the Operating Partnership is the sole member, and First Industrial Development Services, Inc., of which the Operating Partnership is the sole stockholder (together, the “Consolidated Operating Partnership”), acquired 66 operating industrial properties from unrelated parties during the period January 1, 2004 through December 30, 2004. The combined purchase price of the 66 operating industrial properties acquired totaled approximately $283.2 million, excluding closing costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the industrial properties. The 66 operating industrial properties acquired were funded with proceeds from property sales, borrowings under the Operating Partnership’s $300 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Unsecured Line of Credit”), general partner capital contributions or working capital. The Consolidated Operating Partnership will operate the facilities as industrial rental property.

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 2004 has been prepared to reflect the effect of acquisitions of operating properties by the Consolidated Operating Partnership from the period October 1, 2004 through December 30, 2004, as if such transaction had occurred on September 30, 2004.

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, reflects the historical operations of the Consolidated Operating Partnership for the period January 1 2004, through September 30, 2004, adjusted by the operations from the acquisition of 38 operating industrial properties (the “2004 Acquisition A Properties”), six operating industrial properties (the “2004 Acquisition I Properties”), three operating industrial properties (the “2004 Acquisition II Properties”), 12 operating industrial properties (the “2004 Acquisition III Properties”), three operating industrial properties (the “2004 Acquisition IV Properties”) and four operating industrial properties (the “2004 Acquisition V Properties”) during the period January 1, 2004 through December 30, 2004 as well as the sale of insignificant operating properties from January 1, 2004 through September 30, 2004 that were accounted for in continuing operations in the Consolidated Operating Partnership’s Form 10-Q filed November 9, 2004.

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 reflects the historical operations of the Consolidated Operating Partnership for the period January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003, adjusted by the operations from the acquisition of the 2004 Acquisition A Properties, the 2004 Acquisition I Properties, the 2004 Acquisition II Properties, the 2004 Acquisition III Properties, the 2004 Acquisition IV Properties and the 2004 Acquisition V Properties during the period January 1, 2004 through December 30, 2004 and the sale of insignificant operating properties from April 1, 2004 through September 30, 2004. The December 31, 2003 consolidated statement of operations as filed in the Consolidated Operating Partnership’s July 30, 2004 Current Report on Form 8-K reflects the impact of the dispositions from January 1, 2004 through March 31, 2004 as well as the two properties held for sale at March 31, 2004.

1.   Balance Sheet Pro Forma Adjustments — As of September 30, 2004

  (a)   The historical balance sheet reflects the financial position of the Consolidated Operating Partnership as of September 30, 2004 as reported in the Consolidated Operating Partnership’s Form 10-Q filed November 9, 2004.
 
  (b)   Represents the 2004 Acquisition A Properties that were acquired subsequent to September 30, 2004 (the “2004 Acquisition A (1) Properties”) as if the acquisitions had occurred on September 30, 2004. The 2004 Acquisition A (1) Properties were acquired for approximately $55.8 million, in the aggregate, which was funded with cash and the assumption of a $6.2 million mortgage loan collateralized by seven properties. In conjunction with the assumption of the $6.2 million mortgage loan, the Consolidated Operating Partnership recorded a premium in the amount of $.5 million which will be amortized over the remaining life of the assumed loan as an adjustment to interest expense.
 
  (c)   Represents the 2004 Acquisition V Properties that were acquired subsequent to September 30, 2004 as if the acquisitions had occurred on September 30, 2004. The 2004 Acquisition V Properties were acquired for approximately $32.8 million, in the aggregate, which was funded with cash.
 
  (d)   Represents the adjustments needed to present the pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 2004 as if borrowings subsequent to September 30, 2004 under the Operating Partnership’s Unsecured Line of Credit, due to the acquisitions disclosed above, had occurred on September 30, 2004.

2.   Statement of Operations Pro Forma Assumptions and Adjustments — For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004

  (a)   The historical operations reflect the operations of the Consolidated Operating Partnership for the period January 1, 2004 through September 30, 2004 as reported in the Consolidated Operating Partnership’s Form 10-Q filed November 9, 2004.
 
  (b)   Reflects the operations of the 2004 Acquisition A Properties for the period January 1, 2004 through the earlier of their respective acquisition dates or September 30, 2004.
 
  (c)   Reflects the operations of the 2004 Acquisition I Properties for the period January 1, 2004 through January 22, 2004, their acquisition date.
 
  (d)   Reflects the operations of the 2004 Acquisition II Properties for the period January 1, 2004 through May 10, 2004, their acquisition date.
 
  (e)   Reflects the operations of the 2004 Acquisition III Properties for the period January 1, 2004 through September 23, 2004, their acquisition date.
 
  (f)   Reflects the operations of the 2004 Acquisition IV Properties for the period January 1, 2004 through September 30, 2004, their acquisition date.
 
  (g)   Reflects the operations of the 2004 Acquisition V Properties for the period January 1, 2004 through September 30, 2004.
 
  (h)   The statement of operations has been adjusted to reflect the disposition of three insignificant properties sold during the period from January 1, 2004 through September 30, 2004 that were accounted for in continuing operations in the Consolidated Operating Partnership’s Form 10-Q filed November 9, 2004. Depreciation and amortization expense was reduced by a nominal amount due to these sales.
 
      The depreciation and amortization adjustment reflects additional expense for the 2004 Acquisition A Properties, the 2004 Acquisition I Properties, the 2004 Acquisition II Properties, the 2004 Acquisition III Properties, the 2004 Acquisition IV Properties and the 2004 Acquisition V Properties from January 1, 2004 through the earlier of their respective acquisition dates or September 30, 2004 as if such properties were acquired on January 1, 2003. The adjustment to depreciation and amortization expense for these acquisitions increased depreciation and amortization expense by $6.2 million.

      The interest expense adjustment reflects an increase in the unsecured line of credit borrowings at the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus .70% for borrowings under the Consolidated Operating Partnership’s Unsecured Line of Credit or from the assumption of debt for the assumed earlier purchase of the 2004 Acquisition A Properties, the 2004 Acquisition I Properties, the 2004 Acquisition II Properties, the 2004 Acquisition III Properties, the 2004 Acquisition IV Properties and the 2004 Acquisition V Properties. The interest expense adjustment for these acquisitions increased interest expense by $4.3 million. The interest expense adjustment also reflects interest savings related to the assumed repayment of unsecured line of credit borrowings at LIBOR plus .70% on January 1, 2003 from the proceeds from the sale of industrial properties (net of seller financing provided by the Consolidated Operating Partnership and entities in which the Consolidated Partnership accounts for under the equity method of accounting (the “OREP’s”)) that occurred from January 1, 2004 through September 30, 2004 as if the sales occurred on January 1, 2003. The interest expense adjustment for these sales reduced interest expense by $1.8 million.
 
      The interest income adjustment reflects an increase in interest income from seller financing provided by the Consolidated Operating Partnership on property sales that occurred from January 1, 2004 through September 30, 2004 as if the seller financing occurred on January 1, 2003.
 
      The adjustment to equity in income of other real estate partnerships reflects an increase in interest income from seller financing provided by the OREPs on Consolidated Operating Partnership property sales that occurred from January 1, 2004 through September 30, 2004 as if the seller financing occurred on January 1, 2003.

1.   Statement of Operations Pro Forma Assumptions and Adjustments — For the Year Ended December 31, 2003

  (a)   Reflects the December 31, 2003 historical consolidated statement of operations of the Consolidated Operating Partnership as reported in its Current Report on Form 8-K (filed on July 30, 2004) for the year ended December 31, 2003.
 
  (b)   Reflects the operations of the 2004 Acquisition A Properties for the period January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003.
 
  (c)   Reflects the operations of the 2004 Acquisition I Properties for the period January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003.
 
  (d)   Reflects the operations of the 2004 Acquisition II Properties for the period January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003.
 
  (e)   Reflects the operations of the 2004 Acquisition III Properties for the period January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003.
 
  (f)   Reflects the operations of the 2004 Acquisition IV Properties for the period January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003.
 
  (g)   Reflects the operations of the 2004 Acquisition V Properties for the period January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003.
 
  (h)   The statement of operations has been adjusted to reflect the reclassification of 43 industrial properties sold during the period from April 1, 2004 to September 30, 2004 as well as the two properties held for sale at September 30, 2004 that met the criteria under FAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets”, to be included in discontinued operations. Depreciation and amortization was reduced by $2.2 million for these dispositions. The dispositions between January 1, 2004 through March 31, 2004 and the two properties held for sale at March 31, 2004 that met the criteria under FAS 144, were already reclassified to discontinued operations as reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K (filed on July 30, 2004) for the year ended December 31, 2003. Additionally, the statement of operations has been adjusted to reflect the disposition of three insignificant property sales, sold during the period from January 1, 2004 through September 30, 2004 that did not meet the criteria under FAS 144. Depreciation and amortization expense was reduced by a nominal amount due to these sales.
 
      The depreciation and amortization adjustment reflects the charges for the 2004 Acquisition A Properties, the 2004 Acquisition I Properties, the 2004 Acquisition II Properties, the 2004 Acquisition III Properties, the 2004 Acquisition IV Properties and the 2004 Acquisition V Properties from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003, as if such properties were acquired on January 1, 2003. The depreciation and amortization expense adjustment for these acquisitions increased depreciation and amortization expense by $12.4 million.
 
      The interest expense adjustment reflects an increase in the unsecured line of credit borrowings at the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus .70% for borrowings under the Operating Partnership’s Unsecured Line of Credit or from the assumption of debt for the assumed earlier purchase of the 2004 Acquisition A Properties, the 2004 Acquisition I Properties, the 2004 Acquisition II Properties, the 2004 Acquisition III Properties, the 2004 Acquisition IV Properties and the 2004 Acquisition V Properties. The interest expense adjustment for these acquisitions increased interest expense by $7.1 million. The interest expense adjustment also reflects interest savings related to the assumed repayment of unsecured line of credit borrowings at LIBOR plus .70% on January 1, 2003 from the proceeds from the sale of industrial properties (net of seller financing provided by the Consolidated Operating Partnership and the OREPs) that occurred from January 1, 2004 through September 30, 2004 as if the sales occurred on January 1, 2003. The interest expense adjustment for these sales reduced interest expense by $4.4 million.
 
      The interest income adjustment reflects an increase in interest income from seller financing provided by the Consolidated Operating Partnership on property sales that occurred from January 1, 2004 through September 30, 2004 as if the seller financing occurred on January 1, 2003.
 
      The adjustment to equity in income of other real estate partnerships reflects an increase in interest income from seller financing provided by the OREPs on Consolidated Operating Partnership property sales that occurred from January 1, 2004 through September 30, 2004 as if the seller financing occurred on January 1, 2003.
