FIRST INDUSTRIAL REALTY TRUST, INC.
Pro Forma Financial Information
(Unaudited)

Background

First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) was organized in the state of Maryland on August 10, 1993. The Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.

The Company 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 Company’s $300 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Unsecured Line of Credit”), proceeds from the issuance of common shares or working capital. The Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company’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 Company 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 as well as the three properties held for sale at September 30, 2004. The December 31, 2003 consolidated statement of operations as filed in the Company’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.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and year ended December 31, 2003 have been prepared as if the properties acquired or sold subsequent to December 31, 2003 had been acquired or sold, respectively, on January 1, 2003.

The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the Company’s consolidated results that would have occurred if the transactions and adjustments reflected therein had been consummated in the period or on the date presented, or on any particular date in the future, nor does it purport to present the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows for future periods.

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 Company 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 44 industrial properties sold during the period from April 1, 2004 to September 30, 2004 as well as the three 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 $2.4 million for these dispositions and held for sale properties. 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. The two properties held for sale at March 31, 2004 were subsequently sold during the period from April 1, 2004 to September 30, 2004. Additionally, the statement of operations has been adjusted to reflect the disposition of four 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 was reduced by $.1 million for these dispositions.

		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 Company’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 Company) 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 $4.8 million.

		The interest income adjustment reflects an increase in interest income from seller financing provided by the Company on property sales that occurred from January 1, 2004 through September 30, 2004 as if the seller financing occurred on January 1, 2003.

		Income allocated to minority interest reflects income attributable to Units owned by unitholders other than the Company. The minority interest adjustment reflects a weighted average 14.7% minority interest for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003.
