This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Operating Partnership, are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” or similar expressions. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to, changes in: international, national, regional and local economic conditions generally and the real estate market specifically, legislative/regulatory changes (including changes to laws governing the taxation of real estate investment trusts), availability of financing, interest rates, competition, supply and demand for industrial properties in our current and proposed market areas, potential environmental liabilities, slippage in development or lease-up schedules, tenant credit risks, higher-than-expected costs and changes in general accounting principles, policies and guidelines applicable to real estate investment trusts and risks related to doing business internationally (including foreign currency exchange risks). These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Further information concerning the Operating Partnership and its business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and in the Operating Partnership’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms the “Operating Partnership,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to First Industrial, L.P. and their controlled subsidiaries. We refer to our taxable REIT subsidiary, First Industrial Investment, Inc., as the “TRS.”

PART I
 
THE COMPANY
 
Item 1.   Business
 
General
 
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 87.1% ownership interest at December 31, 2007. The Company also owns a preferred general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“Preferred Units”) with an aggregate liquidation priority of $275.0 million. The Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). The Company’s operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership owned, in the aggregate, approximately a 12.9% interest in the Operating Partnership at December 31, 2007.
 
The Operating Partnership is the sole member of several limited liability companies (the “L.L.C.s”) and the sole stockholder of the TRS, (together with the Operating Partnership and the L.L.C.s, the “Consolidated Operating Partnership”), the operating data of which is consolidated with that of the Operating Partnership as presented herein. We also hold at least a 99% limited partnership interest in First Industrial Financing Partnership, L.P. (the “Financing Partnership”), First Industrial Securities, L.P. (the “Securities Partnership”), First Industrial Mortgage Partnership, (the “Mortgage Partnership”), L.P. First Industrial Pennsylvania, L.P. (the “Pennsylvania Partnership”), First Industrial Harrisburg, L.P. (the “Harrisburg Partnership”), First Industrial Indianapolis, L.P. (the “Indianapolis Partnership”), TK-SV, LTD., and FI Development Services L.P. and wholly owned L.L.C.s (together, the “Other Real Estate Partnerships”). The Other Real Estate Partnerships’ operating data is presented herein on a combined basis, separate from that of the Consolidated Operating Partnership. The general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships are separate corporations, each with at least a .01% general partnership interest in the Other Real Estate Partnerships for which it acts as a general partner. Each general partner of the Other Real Estate Partnerships is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
The Operating Partnership or the TRS, through separate wholly-owned limited liability companies in which it is the sole member, also owns minority equity interests in, and provides various services to, five joint ventures which invest in industrial properties (the “2003 Net Lease Joint Venture,” the “2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture,” the “2005 Core Joint Venture,” the “2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program” and the “2006 Land/Development Joint Venture”). The Operating Partnership, through separate wholly-owned limited liability companies of which the Operating Partnership or a wholly-owned entity of the Operating Partnership, is also the sole member, also owned economic interests in, and provided various services to, a sixth joint venture (the “1998 Core Joint Venture”). On January 31, 2007, the Consolidated Operating Partnership purchased the 90% equity interest from the institutional investor in the 1998 Core Joint Venture. Effective January 31, 2007, the assets and liabilities and results of operations of the 1998 Core Joint Venture are consolidated with the Consolidated Operating Partnership since the Consolidated Operating Partnership effectively owns 100% of the equity interest. Prior to January 31, 2007, the 1998 Core Joint Venture was accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Additionally, in December 2007, the TRS, through separate wholly-owned limited liability companies in which it is the sole member, entered into two new joint ventures with institutional investors to invest in, own, develop, redevelop and operate industrial properties (the “2007 Canada Joint Venture” and the “2007 Europe Joint Venture”; together with 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture, 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture, 2005 Core Joint Venture, the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program, the 2006 Land/Development Joint Venture and the 1998 Core Joint Venture, the “Joint Ventures”). We own a 10% equity interest in and will provide property management, asset management, development management and leasing management to the 2007 Canada Joint Venture and the 2007 Europe Joint Venture. As of December 31, 2007, the 2007 Canada Joint Venture and the 2007 Europe Joint Venture did not own any properties. The Other Real Estate Partnerships and the Joint Ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The operating data of the Joint Ventures is not consolidated with that of the

Table of Contents

Operating Partnership as presented herein. However, the operating data of the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture, referred to as FirstCal Industrial, LLC, is separately presented on a consolidated basis, separate from that of the Operating Partnership.
 
As of December 31, 2007, we owned 711 in-service industrial properties, containing an aggregate of approximately 55.4 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”). On a combined basis, as of December 31, 2007, the Other Real Estate Partnerships owned 93 in-service industrial properties, containing an aggregate of approximately 8.6 million square feet of GLA. Of the 93 industrial properties owned by the Other Real Estate Partnerships at December 31, 2007, 34 are held by the Pennsylvania Partnership, 22 are held by the Financing Partnership, 12 are held by the Securities Partnership, 10 are held by the Mortgage Partnership, nine are held by the Harrisburg Partnership, four are held by the Indianapolis Partnership, one is held by TK-SV, LTD. and one is held by FI Development Services, L.P. The Consolidated Operating Partnership’s and Other Real Estate Partnerships’ in-service properties include all properties other than developed, redeveloped and acquired properties that have not yet reached stabilized occupancy (generally defined as properties that are 90% leased).
 
We utilize an operating approach which combines the effectiveness of decentralized, locally based property management, acquisition, sales and development functions with the cost efficiencies of centralized acquisition, sales and development support, capital markets expertise, asset management and financial control systems. At February 15, 2008, the we had approximately 518 employees.
 
We have grown and will seek to continue to grow through the development and acquisition of additional industrial properties, through additional joint venture investments and through our corporate services program.

Business Objectives and Growth Plans
 
Our fundamental business objective is to maximize the total return to our partners through increases in per unit distributions and increases in the value of our properties and operations. Our growth plans include the following elements:
 
  •  Internal Growth.  We seek to grow internally by (i) increasing revenues by renewing or re-leasing spaces subject to expiring leases at higher rental levels; (ii) increasing occupancy levels at properties where vacancies exist and maintaining occupancy elsewhere; (iii) controlling and minimizing property operating and general and administrative expenses; (iv) renovating existing properties; and (v) increasing ancillary revenues from non-real estate sources.
 
  •  External Growth.  We seek to grow externally through (i) the development of industrial properties; (ii) the acquisition of portfolios of industrial properties, industrial property businesses or individual


4


Table of Contents

  properties which meet our investment parameters and target markets; (iii) additional joint venture investments; and (iv) the expansion of our properties.
 
  •  Corporate Services.  Through our corporate services program, the Consolidated Operating Partnership builds for, purchases from, and leases and sells industrial properties to companies that need industrial facilities. We seek to grow this business by targeting both large and middle-market public and private companies.
 
Business Strategies
 
We utilize the following six strategies in connection with the operation of our business:
 
  •  Organization Strategy.  We implement our decentralized property operations strategy through the deployment of experienced regional management teams and local property managers. Each operating region is headed by a managing director who is a senior executive officer of, and has an equity interest in, the Company. We provide acquisition, development and financing assistance, asset management oversight and financial reporting functions from our headquarters in Chicago, Illinois to support our regional operations. We believe the size of our portfolio enables us to realize operating efficiencies by spreading overhead among many properties and by negotiating purchasing discounts.
 
  •  Market Strategy.  Our market strategy is to concentrate on the top industrial real estate markets in the United States and select industrial real estate markets in Canada, the Netherlands and Belgium. These markets have one or more of the following characteristics: (i) strong industrial real estate fundamentals, including increased industrial demand expectations; (ii) a history of and outlook for continued economic growth and industry diversity; and (iii) sufficient size to provide for ample transaction volume.
 
  •  Leasing and Marketing Strategy.  We have an operational management strategy designed to enhance tenant satisfaction and portfolio performance. We pursue an active leasing strategy, which includes broadly marketing available space, seeking to renew existing leases at higher rents per square foot and seeking leases which provide for the pass-through of property-related expenses to the tenant. We also have local and national marketing programs which focus on the business and real estate brokerage communities and national tenants.
 
  •  Acquisition/Development Strategy.  Our acquisition/development strategy is to invest in properties and other assets with higher yield potential in the top industrial real estate markets in the United States and select industrial real estate markets in Canada, the Netherlands and Belgium. Of the 804 industrial properties in the Consolidated Operating Partnership’s and Other Real Estate Partnerships’ combined in-service portfolios at December 31, 2007, 112 properties have been developed by the Consolidated Operating Partnership, the Other Real Estate Partnerships, or its former management. We will continue to leverage the development capabilities of our management, many of whom are leading industrial property developers in their respective markets.
 
  •  Disposition Strategy.  We continuously evaluate local market conditions and property-related factors in all of our markets for purposes of identifying assets suitable for disposition.
 
  •  Financing Strategy.  We plan on utilizing a portion of net sales proceeds from property sales, borrowings under our unsecured line of credit and proceeds from the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional debt and equity securities to finance future acquisitions and developments. We also continually evaluate joint venture arrangements as another source of capital. As of February 15, 2008, we had approximately $47.9 million available for additional borrowings under our unsecured line of credit (the “Unsecured Line of Credit”).

Recent Developments
 
In 2007, we acquired or placed in-service developments totaling 116 industrial properties and acquired several parcels of land for a total investment of approximately $557.2 million. We also sold 159 industrial properties and several parcels of land for a gross sales price of approximately $840.4 million. At December 31, 2007, we owned 711 in-service industrial properties containing approximately 55.4 million square feet of GLA.
 
In December 2007, we entered into two new joint ventures, the 2007 Canada Joint Venture and the 2007 Europe Joint Venture.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company repurchased 1,797,714 shares at an average price per share of $38.62, including brokerage commissions. We purchased general partner units from the Company in the same amount.
 
During 2007, in conjunction with the acquisition of several industrial properties, we assumed mortgage loans payable in the aggregate of $38.6 million; these mortgage loans payable were paid off and retired during 2007.
 
On May 7, 2007, we issued $150.0 million of senior unsecured debt which matures on May 15, 2017 and bears interest at a rate of 5.95% (the “2017 II Notes”). The issue price of the 2017 II Notes was 99.730%. In April 2006, we entered into interest rate protection agreements to fix the interest rate on the 2017 II Notes prior to issuance. The effective portion of the interest rate protection agreements were settled on May 1, 2007 for a payment of $4.3 million, which is included in other comprehensive income and will be amortized over the life of the notes.
 
On May 15, 2007, we paid off and retired our 7.60% 2007 Unsecured Notes in the amount of $150.0 million.
 
On September 28, 2007, we amended and restated our Unsecured Line of Credit. The Unsecured Line of Credit matures on September 28, 2012, has a borrowing capacity of $500.0 million (with the right, subject to certain conditions, to increase the borrowing capacity up to $700.0 million) and bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 0.475%, or the prime rate, at our election. Up to $100.0 million of the $500.0 million capacity may be borrowed in foreign currencies, including the Canadian dollar, Euro, British Sterling and Japanese Yen.
 
On January 31, 2007, we purchased 90% equity interest from the institutional investor in the 1998 Core Joint Venture from the partner. We paid $18.5 million in cash and assumed $30.3 million in mortgage loans payable. As of December 31, 2007, all of these mortgages loans payable were paid off and retired.
 
On February 27, 2007, we redeemed the 85% equity interest in one legal entity which owned one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture. In connection with the redemption, we assumed a $8.3 million payable and $3.0 million in other liabilities. The mortgage loan payable was subsequently paid off in February 2007.
 
Future Property Acquisitions, Developments and Property Sales
 
We have an active acquisition and development program through which we are continually engaged in identifying, negotiating and consummating portfolio and individual industrial property acquisitions and developments. As a result, we are currently engaged in negotiations relating to the possible acquisition and development of certain industrial properties.
 
We also sell properties based on market conditions and property related factors. As a result, we are engaged in negotiations relating to the possible sales of certain industrial properties in our portfolio.
 
When evaluating potential industrial property acquisitions and developments, as well as potential industrial property sales, we will consider such factors as: (i) the geographic area and type of property; (ii) the


6


Table of Contents

location, construction quality, condition and design of the property; (iii) the potential for capital appreciation of the property; (iv) our ability to improve the property’s performance through renovation; (v) the terms of tenant leases, including the potential for rent increases; (vi) the potential for economic growth and the tax and regulatory environment of the area in which the property is located; (vii) the potential for expansion of the physical layout of the property and/or the number of sites; (viii) the occupancy and demand by tenants for properties of a similar type in the vicinity; and (ix) competition from existing properties and the potential for the construction of new properties in the area.
 
INDUSTRY
 
Industrial properties are typically used for the design, assembly, packaging, storage and distribution of goods and/or the provision of services. As a result, the demand for industrial space in the United States is related to the level of economic output. Historically, occupancy rates for industrial property in the United States have been higher than those for other types of commercial property. We believe that the higher occupancy rate in the industrial property sector is a result of the construction-on-demand nature of, and the comparatively short development time required for, industrial property. For the five years ended December 31, 2007, the occupancy rates for industrial properties in the United States have ranged from 88.2%*( to 90.8%*, with an occupancy rate of 90.6%* at December 31, 2007.

Item 1A.   Risk Factors
 
Risk Factors
 
Our operations involve various risks that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, ability to pay distributions on our Units and the market value of our Units. These risks, among others contained in the Operating Partnership’s other filings with the SEC, include:
 
Real estate investments’ value fluctuates depending on conditions in the general economy and the real estate business. These conditions may limit the Consolidated Operating Partnership’s revenues and available cash.
 
The factors that affect the value of our real estate and the revenues we derive from our properties include, among other things:
 
  •  general economic conditions;
 
  •  local, regional, national and international economic conditions and other events and occurrences that affect the markets in which we own properties;
 
  •  local conditions such as oversupply or a reduction in demand in an area;
 
  •  the attractiveness of the properties to tenants;
 
  •  tenant defaults;
 
  •  zoning or other regulatory restrictions;
 
  •  competition from other available real estate;
 
  •  our ability to provide adequate maintenance and insurance; and
 
  •  increased operating costs, including insurance premiums and real estate taxes.
 
Many real estate costs are fixed, even if income from properties decreases.
 
Our financial results depend on leasing space to tenants on terms favorable to us. Our income and funds available for distribution to our unitholders will decrease if a significant number of our tenants cannot pay their rent or we are unable to lease properties on favorable terms. In addition, if a tenant does not pay its rent, we might not be able to enforce our rights as landlord without delays and we might incur substantial legal costs. Costs associated with real estate investment, such as real estate taxes and maintenance costs, generally are not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the investment.
 
The Consolidated Operating Partnership may be unable to sell properties when appropriate because real estate investments are not as liquid as certain other types of assets.
 
Real estate investments generally cannot be sold quickly and, therefore, will tend to limit our ability to adjust our property portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. The inability to respond promptly to changes in the performance of our property portfolio could adversely affect our financial condition and ability to service debt and make distributions to our unitholders. In addition, like other companies qualifying as REITs under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), the Company must comply with the safe harbor rules relating to the number of properties disposed of in a year, their tax basis and the cost of improvements made to the properties, or meet other tests which enable a REIT to avoid punitive taxation on the sale of assets. Thus, our ability at any time to sell assets may be restricted.
 
The Consolidated Operating Partnership may be unable to sell or contribute properties on advantageous terms.
 
We have sold to third parties a significant number of properties in recent years and, as part of our business, we intend to continue to sell properties to third parties. Our ability to sell properties on advantageous


8


Table of Contents

terms depends on factors beyond our control, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of our properties. If we are unable to sell properties on favorable terms or redeploy the proceeds of property sales in accordance with our business strategy, then our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay distributions on, and the market value of, our Units could be adversely affected.
 
We have also sold to our joint ventures a significant number of properties in recent years and, as part of our business, we intend to continue to sell or contribute properties to our joint ventures as opportunities arise. If we do not have sufficient properties available that meet the investment criteria of current or future joint ventures, or if the joint ventures have reduced or do not have access to capital on favorable terms, then such sales could be delayed or prevented, adversely affecting our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay distributions on, and the market value of, our Units.
 
The Consolidated Operating Partnership may be unable to acquire properties on advantageous terms or acquisitions may not perform as the Consolidated Operating Partnership expects.
 
We acquire and intend to continue to acquire primarily industrial properties. The acquisition of properties entails various risks, including the risks that our investments may not perform as expected and that our cost estimates for bringing an acquired property up to market standards may prove inaccurate. Further, we face significant competition for attractive investment opportunities from other well-capitalized real estate investors, including both publicly-traded REITs and private investors. This competition increases as investments in real estate become attractive relative to other forms of investment. As a result of competition, we may be unable to acquire additional properties as we desire or the purchase price may be elevated. In addition, we expect to finance future acquisitions through a combination of borrowings under the Unsecured Line of Credit, proceeds from equity or debt offerings by us and proceeds from property sales, which may not be available and which could adversely affect our cash flow. Any of the above risks could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay distributions on, and the market value of, our Units.
 
The Consolidated Operating Partnership may be unable to complete development and re-development projects on advantageous terms.
 
As part of our business, we develop new and re-develop existing properties. In addition, we have sold to third parties or sold to our joint ventures a significant number of development and re-development properties in recent years, and we intend to continue to sell or contribute such properties to third parties or to sell such properties to our joint ventures as opportunities arise. The real estate development and re-development business involves significant risks that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay distributions on, and the market value of our Units, which include:
 
  •  we may not be able to obtain financing for development projects on favorable terms and complete construction on schedule or within budget, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs and delays in leasing the properties and generating cash flow;
 
  •  we may not be able to obtain, or may experience delays in obtaining, all necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other governmental permits and authorizations;
 
  •  the properties may perform below anticipated levels, producing cash flow below budgeted amounts and limiting our ability to sell such properties to third parties or to sell or contribute such properties to our joint ventures.
 
The Consolidated Operating Partnership may be unable to renew leases or find other lessees.
 
We are subject to the risks that, upon expiration, leases may not be renewed, the space subject to such leases may not be relet or the terms of renewal or reletting, including the cost of required renovations, may be less favorable than expiring lease terms. If we were unable to promptly renew a significant number of expiring leases or to promptly relet the space covered by such leases, or if the rental rates upon renewal or reletting were significantly lower than the current rates, our financial condition, results of operation, cash flow and

ability to pay distributions on, and the market value of our Units could be adversely affected. As of December 31, 2007, leases with respect to approximately 10.6 million, 8.8 million and 8.2 million square feet of GLA, representing 20%, 17% and 16% of GLA, expire in 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively.
 
The Consolidated Operating Partnership might fail to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT.
 
The Company intends to operate so as to qualify as a REIT under the Code. Although the Company believes that it is organized and will operate in a manner so as to qualify as a REIT, qualification as a REIT involves the satisfaction of numerous requirements, some of which must be met on a recurring basis. These requirements are established under highly technical and complex Code provisions of which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations and involve the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control.
 
If the Company were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it would be subject to federal income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on its taxable income at corporate rates. This could result in a discontinuation or substantial reduction in dividends to stockholders and in cash to pay interest and principal on debt securities that we issue. Unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, the Company would be disqualified from electing treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which it failed to qualify as a REIT.
 
Certain property transfers may generate prohibited transaction income, resulting in a penalty tax on the gain attributable to the transaction.
 
As part of our business, we sell properties to third parties or sell properties to our joint ventures as opportunities arise. Under the Code, a 100% penalty tax could be assessed on the gain resulting from sales of properties that are deemed to be prohibited transactions. The question of what constitutes a prohibited transaction is based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each transaction. The IRS could contend that certain sales of properties by us are prohibited transactions. While we do not believe that the IRS would prevail in such a dispute, if the matter were successfully argued by the IRS, the 100% penalty tax could be assessed against the profits from these transactions. In addition, any income from a prohibited transaction may adversely affect the Company’s ability to satisfy the income tests for qualification as a REIT.
 
The REIT distribution requirements may require the Company to turn to external financing sources.
 
The Company could, in certain instances, have taxable income without sufficient cash to enable us to meet the distribution requirements of the REIT provisions of the Code. In that situation, the Company could be required to borrow funds or sell properties on adverse terms in order to meet those distribution requirements. In addition, because the Company must distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of the Company’s REIT taxable income each year, the Company’s ability to accumulate capital may be limited. Thus, in connection with future acquisitions, the Company may be more dependent on outside sources of financing, such as debt financing or issuances of additional capital stock, which may or may not be available on favorable terms. Additional debt financings may substantially increase our leverage and additional equity offerings may result in substantial dilution of unitholders’ interests.
 
Debt financing, the degree of leverage and rising interest rates could reduce the Consolidated Operating Partnership’s cash flow.
 
Where possible, we intend to continue to use leverage to increase the rate of return on our investments and to allow us to make more investments than we otherwise could. Our use of leverage presents an additional element of risk in the event that the cash flow from our properties is insufficient to meet both debt payment obligations and our distribution requirements of the REIT provisions of the Code. In addition, rising interest rates would reduce our cash flow by increasing the amount of interest due on our floating rate debt and on our fixed rate debt as it matures and is refinanced.

Cross-collateralization of mortgage loans could result in foreclosure on substantially all of the Consolidated Operating Partnership’s properties if the Consolidated Operating Partnership is unable to service its indebtedness.
 
If we decide to obtain additional debt financing in the future, we may do so through mortgages on some or all of our properties. These mortgages may be issued on a recourse, non-recourse or cross-collateralized basis. Cross-collateralization makes all of the subject properties available to the lender in order to satisfy our debt. Holders of indebtedness that is so secured will have a claim against these properties. To the extent indebtedness is cross collateralized, lenders may seek to foreclose upon properties that are not the primary collateral for their loan, which may, in turn, result in acceleration of other indebtedness secured by properties. Foreclosure of properties would result in a loss of income and asset value to us, making it difficult for us to meet both debt payment obligations and the Company’s distribution requirements of the REIT provisions of the Code. As of December 31, 2007, none of our current indebtedness was cross-collateralized.
 
The Consolidated Operating Partnership may have to make lump-sum payments on its existing indebtedness.
 
We are required to make the following lump-sum or “balloon” payments under the terms of some of our indebtedness, including:
 
  •  $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.75% Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes”)
 
  •  $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.60% Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”)
 
  •  approximately $15.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.15% Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”)
 
  •  $150.0 million aggregate principle amount of 5.95% Notes due 2017 (the “2017 II Notes”)
 
  •  $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.50% Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”)
 
  •  $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes”)
 
  •  $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.42% Notes due 2014 (the “2014 Notes”)
 
  •  $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Notes”)
 
  •  $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% Notes due 2011 (the “2011 Exchangeable Notes”)
 
  •  $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.375% Notes due 2011(the “2011 Notes”)
 
  •  $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Notes due 2009 (the “2009 Notes”)
 
  •  a $500.0 million Unsecured Line of Credit under which we may borrow to finance the acquisition of additional properties and for other corporate purposes, including working capital.
 
The Unsecured Line of Credit provides for the repayment of principal in a lump-sum or “balloon” payment at maturity in 2012. We have the right, subject to certain conditions, to increase the aggregate commitment under the Unsecured Line of Credit by up to $200.0 million. As of December 31, 2007, $322.1 million was outstanding under the Unsecured Line of Credit at a weighted average interest rate of 5.787%.
 
Our ability to make required payments of principal on outstanding indebtedness, whether at maturity or otherwise, may depend on our ability either to refinance the applicable indebtedness or to sell properties. We have no commitments to refinance the 2009 Notes, the 2011 Notes, the 2011 Exchangeable Notes, the 2012 Notes, the 2014 Notes, the 2016 Notes, the 2017 Notes, the 2017 Notes II, the 2027 Notes, the 2028 Notes, the 2032 Notes or the Unsecured Line of Credit. Some of our existing debt obligations, other than those discussed above, are secured by our properties, and therefore such obligations will permit the lender to foreclose on those properties in the event of a default.

There is no limitation on debt in the Consolidated Operating Partnership’s organizational documents.
 
As of December 31, 2007, the Company’s ratio of debt to its total market capitalization was 49.2%. The organizational documents of the Company, however, do not contain any limitation on the amount or percentage of indebtedness the Company may incur. Accordingly, we could become more highly leveraged, resulting in an increase in debt service that could adversely affect our ability to make expected distributions to Unitholders and in an increased risk of default on our obligations.
 
The Company computes that percentage by calculating its total consolidated debt as a percentage of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, assuming the exchange of all of our limited partnership units for common stock, plus the aggregate stated value of all outstanding shares of preferred stock and total consolidated debt.
 
Rising interest rates on the Consolidated Operating Partnership’s Unsecured Line of Credit could decrease the Consolidated Operating Partnership’s available cash.
 
Our Unsecured Line of Credit bears interest at a floating rate. As of December 31, 2007, our Unsecured Line of Credit had an outstanding balance of $322.1 million at a weighted average interest rate of 5.787%. Our Unsecured Line of Credit bears interest at the prime rate or at the LIBOR plus 0.475%, at our election. Based on an outstanding balance on our Unsecured Line of Credit as of December 31, 2007, a 10% increase in interest rates would increase interest expense by $1.9 million on an annual basis. Increases in the interest rate payable on balances outstanding under our Unsecured Line of Credit would decrease our cash available for distribution to unitholders.
 
Earnings and cash dividends, asset value and market interest rates affect the price of the Company’s common stock.
 
As a REIT, the market value of the Company’s common stock, in general, is based primarily upon the market’s perception of the Company’s growth potential and its current and potential future earnings and cash dividends. The market value of the Company’s common stock is based secondarily upon the market value of the Company’s underlying real estate assets. For this reason, shares of the Company’s common stock may trade at prices that are higher or lower than the Company’s net asset value per share. To the extent that the Company retains operating cash flow for investment purposes, working capital reserves, or other purposes, these retained funds, while increasing the value of the Company’s underlying assets, may not correspondingly increase the market price of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s failure to meet the market’s expectations with regard to future earnings and cash dividends likely would adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock. Further, the distribution yield on the common stock (as a percentage of the price of the common stock) relative to market interest rates may also influence the price of the Company’s common stock. An increase in market interest rates might lead prospective purchasers of the Company’s common stock to expect a higher distribution yield, which would adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, if the market price of the Company’s common stock declines significantly, then the Company might breach certain covenants with respect to its debt obligations, which could adversely affect the Company’s liquidity and ability to make future acquisitions and the Company’s ability to pay dividends to its stockholders.
 
The Consolidated Operating Partnership may incur unanticipated costs and liabilities due to environmental problems.
 
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of clean-up of certain conditions relating to the presence of hazardous or toxic materials on, in or emanating from a property, and any related damages to natural resources. Environmental laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic materials. The presence of such materials, or the failure to address those conditions properly, may adversely affect the ability to rent or sell the property or to borrow using the property as collateral. Persons who dispose of or arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic materials

may also be liable for the costs of clean-up of such materials, or for related natural resource damages, at or from an off-site disposal or treatment facility, whether or not the facility is owned or operated by those persons. No assurance can be given that existing environmental assessments with respect to any of our properties reveal all environmental liabilities, that any prior owner or operator of any of the properties did not create any material environmental condition not known to us or that a material environmental condition does not otherwise exist as to any of our properties.
 
The Consolidated Operating Partnership’s insurance coverage does not include all potential losses.
 
We currently carry comprehensive insurance coverage including property, boiler & machinery, liability, fire, flood, terrorism, earthquake, extended coverage and rental loss as appropriate for the markets where each of our properties and their business operations are located. The insurance coverage contains policy specifications and insured limits customarily carried for similar properties and business activities. We believe our properties are adequately insured. However, there are certain losses, including losses from earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, pollution, acts of war, acts of terrorism or riots, that are not generally insured against or that are not generally fully insured against because it is not deemed to be economically feasible or prudent to do so. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occurs with respect to one or more of our properties, we could experience a significant loss of capital invested and potential revenues from these properties, and could potentially remain obligated under any recourse debt associated with the property.
 
The Consolidated Operating Partnership is subject to risks and liabilities in connection with its investments in properties through joint ventures.
 
As of December 31, 2007, five of our joint ventures owned approximately 19.9 million square feet of properties. As of December 31, 2007, our investment in joint ventures exceeded $57.5 million in the aggregate, and for the year ended December 31, 2007, our equity in income of joint ventures exceeded $29.9 million. Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of available funds that we may invest in joint ventures and we intend to continue to develop and acquire properties through joint ventures with other persons or entities when warranted by the circumstances. Joint venture investments, in general, involve certain risks, including:
 
  •  co-members or joint venturers may share certain approval rights over major decisions;
 
  •  co-members or joint venturers might fail to fund their share of any required capital commitments;
 
  •  co-members or joint venturers might have economic or other business interests or goals that are inconsistent with our business interests or goals that would affect its ability to operate the property;
 
  •  co-members or joint venturers may have the power to act contrary to our instructions, requests, policies or objectives, including our current policy with respect to maintaining our qualification as a real estate investment trust;
 
  •  the joint venture agreements often restrict the transfer of a member’s or joint venturer’s interest or “buy-sell” or may otherwise restrict our ability to sell the interest when we desire or on advantageous terms;
 
  •  disputes between us and our co-members or joint venturers may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and directors from focusing their time and effort on our business and subject the properties owned by the applicable joint venture to additional risk; and
 
  •  we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our co-members or joint venturers.
 
The occurrence of one or more of the events described above could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, its common stock.
 
In addition, joint venture investments in real estate involve all of the risks related to the ownership, acquisition, development, sale and financing of real estate discussed in the risk factors above. To the extent the

Table of Contents

Company’s investments in joint ventures are adversely affected by such risks, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, its common stock could be adversely affected.
 
We are subject to risks associated with our international operations.
 
Under our market strategy, we plan to acquire and develop properties outside of the United States, including in Canada, the Netherlands and Belgium. Our international operations will be subject to risks inherent in doing business abroad, including:
 
  •  exposure to the economic fluctuations in the locations in which we invest;
 
  •  difficulties and costs associated with complying with a wide variety of complex laws, treaties and regulations;
 
  •  revisions in tax treaties or other laws and regulations, including those governing the taxation of our international revenues;
 
  •  obstacles to the repatriation of earnings and funds;
 
  •  currency exchange rate fluctuations between the United States dollar and foreign currencies;
 
  •  restrictions on the transfer of funds; and
 
  •  national, regional and local political uncertainty.
 
We also have offices outside of the United States. Our ability to effectively establish, staff and manage these offices is subject to risks associated with employment practices, labor issues, and cultural factors that differ from those with which we are familiar. In addition, we may be subject to regulatory requirements and prohibitions that differ between jurisdictions. As we continue to expand our business globally, we may have difficulty anticipating and effectively managing these and other risks that our international operations may face, which may adversely affect our business outside the United States and our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Acquired properties may be located in new markets, where we may face risks associated with investing in an unfamiliar market.
 
When we acquire properties located outside of the United States, we may face risks associated with a lack of market knowledge or understanding of the local economy, forging new business relationships in the area and unfamiliarity with local government and permitting procedures. We work to mitigate such risks through extensive diligence and research and associations with experienced partners; however, there can be no guarantee that all such risks will be eliminated.
 
Potential fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the currencies of the other countries in which we invest may adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.
 
Owning, operating and developing industrial property outside of the United States exposes the Company to the possibility of volatile movements in foreign exchange rates. Changes in foreign currencies can affect the operating results of international operations reported in US dollars and the value of the foreign assets reported in US dollars. The economic impact of foreign exchange rate movements is complex because such changes are often linked to variability in real growth, inflation, interest rates, governmental actions and other factors. A significant depreciation in the value of the currency of one or more countries where we have a significant investment may materially affect our results of operations.

Item 2.   Properties
 
General
 
At December 31, 2007, the Consolidated Operating Partnership and the Other Real Estate Partnerships owned 804 in-service industrial properties (711 of which were owned by the Consolidated Operating Partnership and 93 of which were owned by the Other Real Estate Partnerships) containing an aggregate of approximately 64.0 million square feet of GLA (55.4 million square feet of which comprised the properties owned by the Consolidated Operating Partnership and 8.6 million square feet of which comprised the properties owned by the Other Real Estate Partnerships) in 28 states in the United States and one province in Canada, with a diverse base of more than 2,000 tenants engaged in a wide variety of businesses, including manufacturing, retail, wholesale trade, distribution and professional services. The properties are generally located in business parks that have convenient access to interstate highways and/or rail and air transportation. The weighted average age of the Consolidated Operating Partnership’s and the Other Real Estate Partnerships’ properties on a combined basis as of December 31, 2007 was approximately 20 years. The Consolidated Operating Partnership and Other Real Estate Partnerships maintain insurance on their respective properties that the Consolidated Operating Partnership and Other Real Estate Partnerships believe is adequate.
 
The Consolidated Operating Partnership and the Other Real Estate Partnerships classify their properties into five industrial categories: light industrial, bulk warehouse, R&D/flex, regional warehouse and manufacturing. While some properties may have characteristics which fall under more than one property type, the Consolidated Operating Partnership and the Other Real Estate Partnerships have used what they believe is the most dominant characteristic to categorize the property.
 
The following describes the different industrial categories:
 
  •  Light industrial properties generally are of less than 100,000 square feet, have a ceiling height of 16-21 feet, are comprised of 5% — 50% of office space, contain less than 50% of manufacturing space and have a land use ratio of 4:1. The land use ratio is the ratio of the total property area to the area occupied by the building.
 
  •  Bulk warehouse buildings generally are of more than 100,000 square feet, have a ceiling height of at least 22 feet, are comprised of 5% — 15% of office space, contain less than 25% of manufacturing space and have a land use ratio of 2:1.
 
  •  R&D/flex buildings generally are of less than 100,000 square feet, have a ceiling height of less than 16 feet, are comprised of 50% or more of office space, contain less than 25% of manufacturing space and have a land use ratio of 4:1.
 
  •  Regional warehouses generally are of less than 100,000 square feet, have a ceiling height of at least 22 feet, are comprised of 5% — 15% of office space, contain less than 25% of manufacturing space and have a land use ratio of 2:1.
 
  •  Manufacturing properties are a diverse category of buildings that generally have a ceiling height of 10 — 18 feet, are comprised of 5% — 15% of office space, contain at least 50% of manufacturing space and have a land use ratio of 4:1.

Property Acquisitions, Developments and Sales Subsequent to Year End
 
From January 1, 2008 to February 15, 2008, we acquired 11 industrial properties and several land parcels for a total estimated investment of approximately $79.1 million. We also sold three industrial properties and one land parcel for approximately $3.6 million of gross proceeds during this period.
 
Tenant and Lease Information
 
We have a diverse base of more than 2,000 tenants engaged in a wide variety of businesses including manufacturing, retail, wholesale trade, distribution and professional services. Most leases have an initial term of between three and six years and provide for periodic rent increases that are either fixed or based on changes in the Consumer Price Index. Industrial tenants typically have net or semi-net leases and pay as additional rent their percentage of the property’s operating costs, including the costs of common area maintenance, property taxes and insurance. As of December 31, 2007, approximately 95% of the GLA of our in-service properties was leased, and no single tenant or group of related tenants accounted for more than 1.6% of the Consolidated Operating Partnerships’ and Other Real Estate Partnerships’ combined rent revenues, nor did any single tenant or group of related tenants occupy more than 2.5% of the Consolidated Operating Partnership’s and Other Real Estate Partnership’s combined total GLA as of December 31, 2007.
 
The following table shows scheduled lease expirations for all leases for our in service properties as of December 31, 2007.

The Other Real Estate Partnerships have a diverse base of more than 200 tenants engaged in a wide variety of businesses including manufacturing, retail, wholesale trade, distribution and professional services. Most leases have an initial term of between three and six years and provide for periodic rent increases that are either fixed or based on changes in the Consumer Price Index. Industrial tenants typically have net or semi-net leases and pay as additional rent their percentage of the property’s operating costs, including the costs of common area maintenance, property taxes and insurance. As of December 31, 2007, approximately 98% of the GLA of the Other Real Estate Partnerships’ in-service properties was leased.

PART II
 
Item 5.   Market for Registrant’s Partners’ Capital, Related Partner Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
 
There is no established public trading market for the general partner and limited partner Units. As of February 15, 2008, there were 236 holders of record of general partner and limited partner Units (“Unit”).
 
Beginning with the third quarter of 1994, we have made consecutive quarterly distributions to our partners with respect to general partner and limited partner Units since the initial public offering of the Company in June 1994. The current indicated annual distribution rate with respect to general partner and limited partner Units is $2.88 per Unit ($.7200 per Unit per quarter). Our ability to make distributions depends on a number of factors, including our net cash provided by operating activities, capital commitments and debt repayment schedules. Holders of general partner and limited partner Units are entitled to receive distributions when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, our general partner, after the priority distributions required under our partnership agreement have been made with respect to Preferred Units out of any funds legally available for that purpose.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2007 the Company repurchased 1,797,714 shares at an average price per share of $38.62, including brokerage commissions.

Item 7.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with “Selected Financial Data” and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
 
This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” or similar expressions. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to, changes in: international, national, regional and local economic conditions generally and the real estate market specifically, legislative/regulatory changes (including changes to laws governing the taxation of real estate investment trusts), availability of financing, interest rates, competition, supply and demand for industrial properties in our current and proposed market areas, potential environmental liabilities, slippage in

development or lease-up schedules, tenant credit risks, higher-than-expected costs and changes in general accounting principles, policies and guidelines applicable to real estate investment trusts. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Further information concerning the Operating Partnership and our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and in the Operating Partnership’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
 
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”) which owns common units in the Operating Partnership (“Units”) representing an approximate 87.1% ownership interest at December 31, 2007. The Company also owns a preferred general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“Preferred Units”) with an aggregate liquidation priority of $275.0 million at December 31, 2007. The Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). The Company’s operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership own, in the aggregate, approximately a 12.9% interest in the Operating Partnership at December 31, 2007.
 
The Operating Partnership or First Industrial Investment, Inc. is the sole member of several limited liability companies (the “L.L.C.s”) and the sole stockholder of First Industrial Investment, Inc., a taxable REIT subsidiary (the “TRS”), (together with the Operating Partnership and the L.L.C.s, the “Consolidated Operating Partnership”), the operating data of which is consolidated with that of the Operating Partnership. We hold at least a 99% limited partnership interest in First Industrial Financing Partnership, L.P. (the “Financing Partnership”), First Industrial Securities, L.P. (the “Securities Partnership”), First Industrial Mortgage Partnership, L.P. (the “Mortgage Partnership”), First Industrial Pennsylvania, L.P. (the “Pennsylvania Partnership”), First Industrial Harrisburg, L.P. (the “Harrisburg Partnership”), First Industrial Indianapolis, L.P. (the “Indianapolis Partnership”), TK-SV, LTD., and FI Development Services, L.P. (together, the “Other Real Estate Partnerships”). The Other Real Estate Partnerships’ operating data is presented on a combined basis, separate from that of the Consolidated Operating Partnership.
 
We also own minority equity interests in, and provide asset and property management services to, five joint ventures which invest in industrial properties (the “2003 Net Lease Joint Venture,” the “2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture,” the “2005 Core Joint Venture,” the “2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program” and the “2006 Land/Development Joint Venture”). We also owned a minority interest in, and provided property management services to, a sixth joint venture (the “1998 Core Joint Venture”). On January 31, 2007, the Operating Partnership purchased the 90% equity interest from the institutional investor in the 1998 Core Joint Venture. Effective January 31, 2007, the assets and liabilities and results of operations of the 1998 Core Joint Venture are consolidated with the Operating Partnership since we own 100% of the equity interest. Prior to January 31, 2007, the 1998 Core Joint Venture was accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Additionally, in December 2007 we entered into two new joint ventures with institutional investors (the “2007 Canada Joint Venture” and the “2007 Europe Joint Venture”; together with 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture, 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture, 2005 Core Joint Venture, the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program, the 2006 Land/Development Joint Venture and the 1998 Core Joint Venture, the “Joint Ventures”). The operating data of our Joint Ventures is not consolidated with that of the Operating Partnership as presented herein. However, the operating data of the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture, referred to as FirstCal Industrial, LLC, is separately presented on a consolidated basis, separate from that of the Operating Partnership.
 
The general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships are separate corporations, each with at least a .01% general partnership interest in the Other Real Estate Partnerships for which it acts as a general partner. Each general partner of the Other Real Estate Partnerships is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
Our financial statements report the L.L.C.s and the TRS on a consolidated basis and the Other Real Estate Partnerships and the Joint Ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Profits, losses and distributions of the Operating Partnership, the L.L.C.s and the Other Real Estate Partnerships are

allocated to the general partner and the limited partners, or members, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions contained in the partnership agreements or operating agreements, as applicable, of the Operating Partnership, the L.L.C.s and the Other Real Estate Partnerships.
 
As of December 31, 2007, we owned 711 in-service industrial properties, containing an aggregate of approximately 55.4 million square feet of GLA. On a combined basis, as of December 31, 2007, the Other Real Estate Partnerships owned 93 in-service industrial properties, containing an aggregate of approximately 8.6 million square feet of GLA. Of the 93 industrial properties owned by the Other Real Estate Partnerships at December 31, 2007, 34 are held by the Pennsylvania Partnership, 22 are held by the Financing Partnership, 12 are held by the Securities Partnership, ten are held by the Mortgage Partnership, nine are held by the Harrisburg Partnership, four are held by the Indianapolis Partnership, one is held by TK-SV, LTD and one is held by FI Development Services, L.P.
 
We believe our financial condition and results of operations are, primarily, a function of our performance and our joint ventures’ performance in four key areas: leasing of industrial properties, acquisition and development of additional industrial properties, redeployment of internal capital and access to external capital.
 
We generate revenue primarily from rental income and tenant recoveries from long-term (generally three to six years) operating leases of our industrial properties and our joint ventures’ industrial properties. Such revenue is offset by certain property specific operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities and insurance expenses, along with certain other costs and expenses, such as depreciation and amortization costs and general and administrative and interest expenses. Our revenue growth is dependent, in part, on our ability to (i) increase rental income, through increasing either or both occupancy rates and rental rates at our and our joint ventures’ properties, (ii) maximize tenant recoveries and (iii) minimize operating and certain other expenses. Revenues generated from rental income and tenant recoveries are a significant source of funds, in addition to income generated from gains/losses on the sale of our properties and our joint ventures’ properties (as discussed below), for our distributions. The leasing of property, in general, and occupancy rates, rental rates, operating expenses and certain non-operating expenses, in particular, are impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The leasing of property also entails various risks, including the risk of tenant default. If we were unable to maintain or increase occupancy rates and rental rates at our properties and our joint ventures’ properties or to maintain tenant recoveries and operating and certain other expenses consistent with historical levels and proportions, our revenue growth would be limited. Further, if a significant number of our or our joint ventures’ tenants were unable to pay rent (including tenant recoveries) or if our or our joint ventures were unable to rent their properties on favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the Company’s ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, the Company’s common stock would be adversely affected.
 
Our revenue growth is also dependent, in part, on our ability and our joint ventures’ ability to acquire existing, and acquire and develop new, additional industrial properties on favorable terms. The Consolidated Operating Partnership itself, and through our various joint ventures, continually seeks to acquire existing industrial properties on favorable terms, and, when conditions permit, also seeks to acquire and develop new industrial properties on favorable terms. Existing properties, as they are acquired, and acquired and developed properties, as they are leased, generate revenue from rental income, tenant recoveries and fees, income from which, as discussed above, is a source of funds our distributions. The acquisition and development of properties is impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The acquisition and development of properties also entails various risks, including the risk that our investments and our joint ventures’ investments may not perform as expected. For example, acquired existing and acquired and developed new properties may not sustain and/or achieve anticipated occupancy and rental rate levels. With respect to acquired and developed new properties, we may not be able to complete construction on schedule or within budget, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs and delays in leasing the properties. Also, we face significant competition for attractive acquisition and development opportunities from other well-capitalized real estate investors, including both publicly-traded REITs and private investors. Further, as discussed below, we may not be able to finance the acquisition and development opportunities we identify. If we were unable to acquire and develop sufficient additional properties on favorable

terms or if such investments did not perform as expected, our revenue growth would be limited and our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the Company’s ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, the Company’s common stock would be adversely affected.
 
We also generate income from the sale of our properties and our joint ventures’ properties (including existing buildings, buildings which the we or our joint ventures have developed or re-developed on a merchant basis and land). The Consolidated Operating Partnership itself, and through our various joint ventures, is continually engaged in, and our income growth is dependent, in part, on systematically redeploying capital from properties and other assets with lower yield potential into properties and other assets with higher yield potential. As part of that process, we sell, on an ongoing basis, select stabilized properties or land or properties offering lower potential returns relative to their market value. The gain/loss on, and fees from, the sale of such properties are included in our income and are a significant source of funds, in addition to revenues generated from rental income and tenant recoveries, for our distributions. Also, a significant portion of our proceeds from such sales is used to fund the acquisition of existing, and the acquisition and development of new, industrial properties. The sale of properties is impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The sale of properties also entails various risks, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of our properties. Further, our ability to sell properties is limited by safe harbor rules applying to REITs under the Code which relate to the number of properties that may be disposed of in a year, their tax bases and the cost of improvements made to the properties, along with other tests which enable a REIT to avoid punitive taxation on the sale of assets. If we were unable to sell properties on favorable terms, our income growth would be limited and our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the Company’s ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, the Company’s common stock would be adversely affected.
 
Currently, we utilize a portion of the net sales proceeds from property sales, borrowings under its unsecured line of credit (the “Unsecured Line of Credit”) and proceeds from the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional debt and equity securities to finance future acquisitions and developments, and to fund our equity commitments to our joint ventures. Access to external capital on favorable terms plays a key role in our financial condition and results of operations, as it impacts our cost of capital and our ability and cost to refinance existing indebtedness as it matures and to fund acquisitions, developments and contributions to our joint ventures or through the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional equity securities. Our ability to access external capital on favorable terms is dependent on various factors, including general market conditions, interest rates, credit ratings on our capital stock and debt, the market’s perception of our growth potential, our current and potential future earnings and cash distributions and the market price of the Company’s capital stock. If we were unable to access external capital on favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the Company’s ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, the Company’s common stock would be adversely affected.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
 
  •  We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts which is based on estimates of potential losses which could result from the inability of our tenants to satisfy outstanding billings with us. The allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate based on our assessment of the creditworthiness of our tenants.
 
  •  Properties are classified as held for sale when management has approved the sales of such properties. When properties are classified as held for sale, we cease depreciating the properties and estimate the values of such properties and measure them at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, less costs to dispose. If circumstances arise that were previously considered unlikely, and, as a result, we decide not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, we will reclassify such property as held and used. We estimate the value of such property and measure it at the lower of its carrying amount (adjusted for any depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the


29


Table of Contents

  property been continuously classified as held and used) or fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. Fair value is determined by deducting from the estimated sales price of the property the estimated costs to close the sale.
 
  •  We review our properties on a quarterly basis for possible impairment and provide a provision if impairments are determined. We utilize the guidelines established under Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets” (“FAS 144”) to determine if impairment conditions exist. We review the expected undiscounted cash flows of each property to determine if there are any indications of impairment. If the expected undiscounted cash flows of a particular property are less than the net book basis of the property, we will recognize an impairment charge equal to the amount of carrying value of the property that exceeds the fair value of the property. Fair value is determined by discounting the future expected cash flows of the property. The calculation of the fair value involves subjective assumptions such as estimated occupancy, rental rates, ultimate residual value and the discount rate used to present value the cash flows.
 
  •  We analyze our investments in joint ventures to determine whether the joint venture should be accounted for under the equity method of accounting or consolidated into our financial statements based on standards set forth under FAS Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, EITF 96-16, Investor’s Accounting for an Investee When the Investor Has a Majority of the Voting Interest but the Minority Shareholder or Shareholders Have Certain Approval or Veto Rights and Statement of Position 78-9, Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures. Based on the guidance set forth in these pronouncements, we do not consolidate any of our joint venture investments because either the joint venture has been determined not to be a variable interest entity or it has been determined we are not the primary beneficiary. Our assessment of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest involves the consideration of various factors including the form of our ownership interest, our representation on the entity’s governing body, the size of our investment and future cash flows of the entity.
 
  •  We capitalize (direct and certain indirect) costs incurred in developing, renovating, acquiring and rehabilitating real estate assets as part of the investment basis. Costs incurred in making certain other improvements are also capitalized. During the land development and construction periods, we capitalize interest costs, real estate taxes and certain general and administrative costs of the personnel performing development, renovations or rehabilitation up to the time the property is substantially complete. The determination and calculation of certain costs requires estimates by us. Amounts included in capitalized costs are included in the investment basis of real estate assets.
 
  •  We are engaged in the acquisition of individual properties as well as multi-property portfolios. In accordance with FAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141”), we are required to allocate purchase price between land, building, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, in-place leases, tenant relationships and above and below market leases. Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rents for each corresponding in-place lease. Acquired above and below market leases are amortized over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases as an adjustment to rental income. In-place lease and tenant relationship values for acquired properties are recorded based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with the respective tenant. The value allocated to in-place lease intangible assets is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining lease term of the respective lease. The value allocated to tenant relationship is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the expected term of the relationship, which includes an estimate of the probability of lease renewal and its estimated term. We also must allocate purchase price on multi-property portfolios to individual properties. The allocation of purchase price is based on our assessment of various characteristics of the markets where the property is located and the expected cash flows of the property.

  •  In the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, significant management judgment is required to estimate our current and deferred income tax liabilities, and our compliance with REIT qualification requirements. Our estimates are based on our interpretation of tax laws. These estimates may have an impact on the income tax expense recognized. Adjustments may be required by a change in assessment of our deferred income tax assets and liabilities, changes due to audit adjustments by federal and state tax authorities, our inability to qualify as a REIT, and changes in tax laws. Adjustments required in any given period are included within the income tax provision.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2007 to Year Ended December 31, 2006
 
Our net income available to unitholders was $150.5 million and $103.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Basic and diluted net income available to unitholders were $2.98 per unit for the year ended December 31, 2007 and $2.05 per unit for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
The tables below summarize our revenues, property expenses and depreciation and other amortization by various categories for the year ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Same store properties are properties owned prior to January 1, 2006 and held as an operating property through December 31, 2007 and developments and redevelopments that were stabilized (generally defined as 90% occupied) prior to January 1, 2006 or were substantially completed for 12 months prior to January 1, 2006. Acquired properties are properties that were acquired subsequent to December 31, 2005 and held as an operating property through December 31, 2007. Sold properties are properties that were sold subsequent to December 31, 2005. (Re)Developments and land are land parcels and developments and redevelopments that were not: a) substantially complete 12 months prior to January 1, 2006 or b) stabilized prior to January 1, 2006. Other revenues are derived from the operations of our maintenance company, fees earned from our joint ventures, and other miscellaneous revenues. Contractor revenues and expenses represent revenues earned and expenses incurred in connection with the TRS acting as general contractor to construct industrial properties, including industrial properties for the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture and also includes revenues and expenses related to the development of properties for third parties. Other expenses are derived from the operations of our maintenance company and other miscellaneous regional expenses.
 
Our future financial condition and results of operations, including rental revenues, may be impacted by the future acquisition and sale of properties. Our future revenues and expenses may vary materially from historical rates.
 
At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the occupancy rates of our same store properties were 93.5% and 91.7%, respectively.

Revenues from sold properties decreased $37.0 million due to the 268 industrial properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2005 totaling approximately 29.2 million square feet of GLA. Revenues from (re)developments and land increased $1.4 million due to an increase in occupancy. Other revenues increased by approximately $6.9 million due primarily to an increase in joint venture fees and fees earned related to us assigning our interest in certain purchase contracts to third parties for consideration. Contractor revenues increased $25.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 due primarily to increased third party development activity and an increased number of construction projects for which the TRS acted as general contractor.

Property expenses from same store properties increased by $1.4 million due primarily to an increase in real estate taxes due to a reassessment of values of certain of our properties, as well as an increase in repairs and maintenance. Property expenses from acquired properties increased by $8.5 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2005. Property expenses from sold properties decreased by $10.9 million due to properties sold subsequent to

December 31, 2005. Property expenses from (re)developments and land increased $0.5 million due to an increase in occupancy. The $1.2 million increase in other expense is primarily attributable to an increase in employee compensation. Contractor expenses increased $24.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 primarily due to increased third party development activity and an increased number of construction projects for which the TRS acted as general contractor.
 
General and administrative expense increased by approximately $15.4 million, or 20.1%, due primarily to increases in employee compensation related to compensation for additional employees as well as an increase in incentive compensation.

Depreciation and other amortization for same store properties remained relatively unchanged. Depreciation and other amortization from acquired properties increased by $22.4 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2005. Depreciation and other amortization from sold properties decreased by $15.4 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2005. Depreciation and other amortization for (re)developments and land decreased by $3.5 million due primarily to accelerated depreciation recognized for the year ended December 31, 2006 on one property in Columbus, OH which was razed during 2006.
 
Interest income increased $0.8 million due primarily to an increase in the average mortgage loans receivable outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
Interest expense decreased by approximately $1.8 million primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average interest rate for the year ended December 31, 2007 (6.45%), as compared to the year ended December 31, 2006 (6.72%) and due to an increase in capitalized interest for the year ended December 31, 2007 due to an increase in development activities, offset by an increase in the weighted average debt balance outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2007 ($1,981.4 million), as compared to the year ended December 31, 2006 ($1,878.2 million).
 
Amortization of deferred financing costs increased by $0.5 million, or 20.5%, due primarily to financing fees incurred associated with the issuance of $200.0 million of senior unsecured debt in December 2006.
 
In October 2005, we entered into an interest rate protection agreement which hedged the change in value of a build to suit development project we were constructing. This interest rate protection agreement had a notional value of $50.0 million, was based on the three month LIBOR rate, had a strike rate of 4.8675%, had an effective date of December 30, 2005 and a termination date of December 30, 2010. Per FAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, fair value and cash flow hedge accounting for hedges of non-financial assets and liabilities is limited to hedges of the risk of changes in the market price of the entire hedged item because changes in the price of an ingredient or component of a non-financial item generally do not have a predictable, separately measurable effect on the price of the item. Since the interest rate protection agreement is hedging a component of the change in value of the build to suit development, the interest rate protection agreement does not qualify for hedge accounting and the change in value of the interest

rate protection agreement is recognized immediately in net income as opposed to other comprehensive income. On January 5, 2006, we settled the interest rate protection agreement for a payment of $0.2 million. Included in Mark-to-Market/Loss on Settlement of Interest Rate Protection Agreement for the year ended December 31, 2006 is the settlement and mark-to-market of the interest rate protection agreement.
 
In April 2006, we entered into interest rate protection agreements which we designated as cash flow hedges. Each of the interest rate protection agreements had a notional value of $74.8 million, were effective from May 10, 2007 through May 10, 2012, and fixed the LIBOR rate at 5.42%. In September 2006, the interest rate protection agreements failed to qualify for hedge accounting. We settled the interest rate protection agreements and paid the counterparties $2.9 million.
 
We recognized a $0.4 million loss from early retirement of debt for the year ended December 31, 2007. This includes $0.1 million write-off of financing fees associated with our previous line of credit agreement which was amended and restated on September 28, 2007. The loss from early retirement of debt also includes $0.3 million due to early payoffs on mortgage loans.
 
Equity in income of Other Real Estate Partnerships decreased by $7.3 million primarily due to a decrease in gain on sale of real estate by the Other Real Estate Partnerships.
 
Equity in income of joint ventures decreased by $0.7 million primarily due to a decrease in our economic share of the gains and earn outs on property sales from the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture during the year ended December 31, 2007, partially offset by an increase in our economic share of the gains on property sales from the 2005 Core Joint Venture for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
The year to date income tax provision (included in continuing operations, discontinued operations and gain of sale) decreased $12.8 million, in the aggregate, due primarily to a decrease in rental income and gain on sale of real estate and an increase in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by an increase in joint venture fees and management/leasing fees, and a decrease in interest expense within the TRS.
 
The $7.9 million gain on sale of real estate for the year ended December 31, 2007, resulted from the sale of three industrial properties and several land parcels that do not meet the criteria established by FAS 144 for inclusion in discontinued operations. The $6.2 million gain on sale of real estate for the year ended December 31, 2006, resulted from the sale of several land parcels that do not meet the criteria established by FAS 144 for inclusion in discontinued operations.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2006 to Year Ended December 31, 2005
 
Our net income available to unitholders was $103.9 million and $88.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Basic and diluted net income available to unitholders was $2.05 per unit for the year ended December 31, 2006, and $1.81 per unit for the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
The tables below summarize our revenues, property expenses and depreciation and other amortization by various categories for the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. Same store properties are properties owned prior to January 1, 2005 and held as an operating property through December 31, 2006 and developments and redevelopments that were stabilized (generally defined as 90% occupied) prior to January 1, 2005 or were substantially completed for 12 months prior to January 1, 2005. Acquired properties are properties that were acquired subsequent to December 31, 2004 and held as an operating property through December 31, 2006. Sold properties are properties that were sold subsequent to December 31, 2004. (Re)Developments and land are land parcels and developments and redevelopments that were not: a) substantially complete 12 months prior to January 1, 2005 or b) stabilized prior to January 1, 2005. Other revenues are derived from the operations of our maintenance company, fees earned from our joint ventures, and other miscellaneous revenues. Contractor revenues and expenses represent revenues earned and expenses incurred in connection with the TRS acting as general contractor to construct industrial properties, including industrial properties for the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture and also includes revenues and expenses related to the development of properties for third parties. Other expenses are derived from the operations of our maintenance company and other miscellaneous regional expenses.
 
At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the occupancy rates of our same store properties were 92.0% and 91.2%, respectively.

Revenues from same store properties remained relatively unchanged. Revenues from acquired properties increased $57.5 million due to the 228 properties totaling approximately 28.1 million square feet of GLA acquired subsequent to December 31, 2004. Revenues from sold properties decreased $28.7 million due to the 191 industrial properties totaling approximately 26.7 million square feet of GLA sold subsequent to December 31, 2004. Revenues from (re)developments and land increased by approximately $4.0 million due primarily to an increase in properties placed in service during 2006 and 2005. Other revenues increased by approximately $10.9 million due primarily to an increase in joint venture fees, partially offset by a decrease in assignment fees. Contractor revenues decreased $5.7 million due to decreased third party development activity.

Property expenses include real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance, other property related expenses, and contractor expenses. Property expenses from same store properties increased $2.0 million or 2.7% primarily due to an increase of $1.4 million in utility expense attributable to increases in gas and electric costs, an increase of $0.4 million in real estate tax expense, and an increase of $0.4 million in repair and maintenance. Property expenses from acquired properties increased by $13.6 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2004. Property expenses from sold properties decreased by $9.7 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2004. Property expenses from (re)developments and land increased $0.6 million due primarily to an increase in properties placed in service in 2006 and 2005. Other expense increased by $4.1 million due primarily to increases in employee compensation. Contractor expenses decreased $5.3 million due to decreased third party development activity.
 
General and administrative expense increased by approximately $21.8 million, or 39.7%, due primarily to increases in employee compensation related to compensation for new employees as well as an increase in incentive compensation.

Depreciation and other amortization from sold properties decreased by $8.7 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2004. Depreciation and other amortization for (re)developments and land increased by $4.1 million due primarily to accelerated depreciation on one property in Columbus, OH which was razed during the year ended December 31, 2006. Amortization of corporate

furniture, fixtures and equipment increased $0.5 million due primarily to expansion and improvement to corporate offices.
 
Interest income remained relatively unchanged.
 
In April 2006, we entered into interest rate protection agreements which it designated as cash flow hedges. Each of the interest rate protection agreements had a notional value of $74.8 million, were effective from May 10, 2007 through May 10, 2012, and fixed the LIBOR rate at 5.42%. In September 2006, the interest rate protection agreements failed to qualify for hedge accounting. We settled the interest rate protection agreements and paid the counterparties $2.9 million. In October 2005, we entered into an interest rate protection agreement which hedged the change in value of a build-to-suit development project we were constructing. This interest rate protection agreement did not qualify for hedge accounting. We recognized a loss of $0.2 million related to this interest rate protection agreement for the year ended December 31, 2006. Both transactions are recognized in the mark-to-market/(loss) gain on settlement of interest rate protection agreements caption on the consolidated statement of operations.
 
We recognized a $0.6 million gain related to the settlement/mark-to-market of two interest rate protection agreements we entered into during 2005 in order to hedge the change in value of a build to suit development project as well as $0.2 million in deferred gain that was reclassified out of other comprehensive income relating to a settled interest rate protection agreement that no longer qualified for hedge accounting.
 
Interest expense increased by $13.0 million due primarily to an increase in the weighted average debt balance outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2006 ($1,878.2 million), as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005 ($1,687.8 million) and an increase in the weighted average interest rate for the year ended December 31, 2006 (6.72%), as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005 (6.62%). This was partially offset by an increase in capitalized interest for the year ended December 31, 2006 due to an increase in development activities.
 
Amortization of deferred financing costs increased by approximately $0.5 million, or 25.5%, due primarily to financing fees incurred associated with the amendment and restatement of our Unsecured Line of Credit in August 2005, the issuance of the 2016 Notes in January 2006 and the issuance of the 2011 Exchangeable Notes in September 2006.
 
We recognized approximately $0.08 million of gain on the early retirement of debt for the year ended December 31, 2005, comprised of $0.05 million write-off of financing fees associated with our previous line of credit agreement which was amended and restated on August 23, 2005. The gain on early retirement of debt also includes a payment of $0.3 million of fees and a write-off of loan premium of $0.4 million on a $13.7 million mortgage loan which was assumed by the buyers of the related properties on July 13, 2005.
 
Equity in income of Other Real Estate Partnerships decreased by $14.7 million primarily due to a decrease in gain on sale of real estate.
 
Equity in income of joint ventures increased by approximately $27.0 million due primarily to our economic share of the gains and earn outs on property sales from the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture and the 2005 Core Joint Venture during the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
The income tax provision (included in continuing operations, discontinued operations and gain on sale) increased by $22.9 million in the aggregate, due primarily to an increase in the gain on sale of real estate, joint venture fees, equity in net income of joint ventures, partially offset by an increase in interest expense and an increase in general and administrative expense within the TRS.
 
The $6.2 million gain on sale of real estate for the year ended December 31, 2006 resulted from the sale of several land parcels that do not meet the criteria established by FAS 144 for inclusion in discontinued operations. The $28.7 million gain on sale of real estate for the year ended December 31, 2005 resulted from the sale of nine industrial properties and several land parcels that do not meet the criteria established by FAS 144 for inclusion in discontinued operations.

Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, for the year ended December 31, 2006 reflects the results of operations of industrial properties that were sold during the year ended December 31, 2007, and the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate of $196.6 million relating to 109 industrial properties that were sold during the year ended December 31, 2006 and the results of operations from six properties identified as held for sale at December 31, 2007.
 
Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, for the year ended December 31, 2005 reflects the results of operations of industrial properties that were sold during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, six properties identified as held for sale at December 31, 2007, the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate of $102.9 million from the 73 industrial properties which were sold during the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
At December 31, 2007, our cash and restricted cash was approximately $4.7 and $24.9 million, respectively. Restricted cash is primarily comprised of cash held in escrow in connection with mortgage debt requirements and gross proceeds from the sales of certain industrial properties. These sales proceeds will be disbursed as we exchange industrial properties under Section 1031 of the Code.
 
We have considered our short-term (one year or less) liquidity needs and the adequacy of our estimated cash flow from operations and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. We believe that our principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring expenses, debt service requirements and the minimum distribution required by the Company to maintain the Company’s REIT qualification under the Code. We anticipate that these needs will be met with cash flows provided by operating and investment activities.
 
We expect to meet long-term (greater than one year) liquidity requirements such as property acquisitions, developments, scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements through the disposition of select assets, the issuance of long-term unsecured indebtedness and additional Units and preferred Units. On April 30, 2007, the Company and the Operating Partnership filed a registration statement with the SEC covering an indefinite number or amount of securities to be issued in the following three years.
 
We also may finance the development or acquisition of additional properties through borrowings under our Unsecured Line of Credit. At December 31, 2007, borrowings under our Unsecured Line of Credit bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 5.787%. As of February 15, 2008, we had approximately $47.9 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Line of Credit. Our Unsecured Line of Credit bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 0.475% or the Prime Rate, at our election. Our Unsecured Line of Credit contains certain financial covenants including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. Our access to borrowings may be limited if it fails to meet any of these covenants.

Also, our borrowing rate on our Unsecured Line of Credit may increase in the event of a downgrade on our unsecured notes by the rating agencies.
 
We currently have credit ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch Ratings of BBB/Baa2/BBB, respectively. Our goal is to maintain its existing credit ratings. In the event of a downgrade, management believes we would continue to have access to sufficient capital; however, our cost of borrowing would increase and our ability to access certain financial markets may be limited.
 
Year Ended December 31, 2007
 
Net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $105.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 was comprised primarily of net income of approximately $173.9 million, the net change in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $25.1 million, and net distributions from joint ventures of $1.4 million, offset by adjustments for non-cash items of approximately $94.7 million. The adjustments for the non-cash items of approximately $94.7 million are primarily comprised of the gain on sale of real estate of approximately $245.2 million and the effect of the straight-lining of rental income of approximately $8.8 million, offset by depreciation and amortization of approximately $157.1 million, the provision for bad debt of $1.8 million, and loss on early retirement of debt of approximately $0.4 million.
 
Net cash provided by investing activities of approximately $113.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 was comprised primarily of the net proceeds from the sale of real estate, the repayment of notes receivable, distributions from the Other Real Estate Partnerships and distributions from our industrial real estate joint ventures, partially offset by the acquisition of real estate, development of real estate, capital expenditures related to the expansion and improvement of existing real estate, an increase in restricted cash that is primarily held by an intermediary for Section 1031 exchange purposes, investments in and advances to the Other Real Estate Partnerships and contributions and investments in our joint ventures and the funding of notes receivable.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2007, we acquired 103 industrial properties comprising approximately 8.0 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels. The purchase price for these acquisitions totaled approximately $431.5 million. We also substantially completed the development of 14 industrial properties comprising approximately 3.4 million square feet of GLA at a cost of approximately $107.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
We invested approximately $27.7 million, and received total distributions of approximately $54.2 million from our industrial real estate joint ventures. As of December 31, 2007, our industrial real estate joint ventures owned 113 industrial properties comprising approximately 19.9 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2007, we sold 159 industrial properties comprising approximately 13.1 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels. Net proceeds from the sales of the 159 industrial properties and several land parcels were approximately $760.8 million.
 
Net cash used in financing activities of approximately $229.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 was derived primarily from the redemption of preferred units, general partnership and limited partnership units and preferred general partnership unit distributions, net repayments under our Unsecured Line of Credit, the repurchase of restricted units and net repayments on mortgage loans payable, partially offset by the issuance of preferred units and senior unsecured debt and net proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company repurchased 1,797,714 shares of its common stock, totaling $69.4 million. We purchased general partner Units from the Company in the same amount.
 
On June 7, 2007, we redeemed the Series C Preferred Stock for $25.00 per Depositary Share, or $50.0 million in the aggregate, and paid a prorated second quarter dividend of $0.40729 per Depositary Share, totaling approximately $0.8 million. We also redeemed the Series C Preferred Units.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2007, certain directors and employees of the Company exercised 19,600 non-qualified employee stock options. Net proceeds to the Company were approximately $0.6 million.

The Company contributed the proceeds and the Consolidated Operating Partnership, through the Operating Partnership, issued 19,600 Units to the Company.
 
On May 7, 2007, we issued the 2017 II Notes. Net of issuance costs, the Company received net proceeds of $149.6 million from the issuance of the 2017 II Notes. In April 2006, we entered into interest rate protection agreements to fix the interest rate on the 2017 II Notes prior to issuance. We settled the effective portion of the interest rate protection agreements on May 1, 2007 for a payment of $4.3 million, which is included in other comprehensive income.
 
On May 15, 2007, we paid off and retired the 2007 Unsecured Notes in the amount of $150.0 million.

* Not on balance sheet.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
Letters of credit are issued in most cases as pledges to governmental entities for development purposes. At December 31, 2007, we have $9.6 million in outstanding letters of credit, none of which are reflected as liabilities on our balance sheet. We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements other than those disclosed on the Contractual Obligations and Commitments table above.
 
Environmental
 
We incurred environmental costs of approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively. We estimate 2008 costs of approximately $0.3 million. We estimate that the aggregate cost which needs to be expended in 2008 and beyond with regard to currently identified environmental issues will not exceed approximately $2.2 million.
 
Inflation
 
For the last several years, inflation has not had a significant impact on us because of the relatively low inflation rates in our markets of operation. Most of our leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. In addition, many of the outstanding leases expire within six years which may enable us to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base rentals if rents of existing leases are below the then-existing market rate.
 
Market Risk
 
The following discussion about our risk-management activities includes “forward-looking statements” that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-

Table of Contents

looking statements. Our business subjects us to market risk from interest rates, and to a much lessor extent, foreign currency fluctuations.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
This analysis presents the hypothetical gain or loss in earnings, cash flows or fair value of the financial instruments and derivative instruments which are held by us at December 31, 2007 that are sensitive to changes in the interest rates. While this analysis may have some use as a benchmark, it should not be viewed as a forecast.
 
In the normal course of business, we also face risks that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable. Such risks principally include credit risk and legal risk and are not represented in the following analysis.
 
At December 31, 2007, $1,624.5 million (approximately 83.5% of total debt at December 31, 2007) of our debt was fixed rate debt and $322.1 million (approximately 16.5% of total debt at December 31, 2007) of our debt was variable rate debt. Currently, we do not enter into financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
 
For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt, but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in the interest rate generally do not impact the fair value of the debt, but would affect our future earnings and cash flows. The interest rate risk and changes in fair market value of fixed rate debt generally do not have a significant impact on us until we are required to refinance such debt. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the maturity dates of our various fixed rate debt.
 
Based upon the amount of variable rate debt outstanding at December 31, 2007, a 10% increase or decrease in the interest rate on our variable rate debt would decrease or increase, respectively, future net income and cash flows by approximately $1.9 million per year. A 10% increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of the fixed rate debt at December 31, 2007 by approximately $55.3 million to $1,624.6 million. A 10% decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value of the fixed rate debt at December 31, 2007 by approximately $59.3 million to $1,739.2 million.
 
The use of derivative financial instruments allows us to manage risks of increases in interest rates with respect to the effect these fluctuations would have on our earnings and cash flows. As of December 31, 2007, we had no outstanding derivative instruments.
 
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
 
Owning, operating and developing industrial property outside of the United States exposes the Company to the possibility of volatile movements in foreign exchange rates. Changes in foreign currencies can affect the operating results of international operations reported in U.S. dollars and the value of the foreign assets reported in U.S. dollars. The economic impact of foreign exchange rate movements is complex because such changes are often linked to variability in real growth, inflation, interest rates, governmental actions and other factors. At December 31, 2007, the Company had only one property and one land parcel for which the U.S. dollar was not the functional currency. This property and land parcel are located in Ontario, Canada and use the Canadian dollar as their functional currency.
 
Subsequent Events
 
On January 22, 2008, we paid a fourth quarter 2007 distribution of $0.72 per Unit, totaling approximately $36.1 million.
 
From January 1, 2008 to February 15, 2008, the Company awarded 2,168 shares of restricted common stock to certain directors. We issued Units to the Company in the same amount. These shares of restricted common stock had a fair value of approximately $0.1 million on the date of grant. The restricted common stock and units vest over a period of five years. Compensation expense will be charged to earnings over the respective vesting period.

Table of Contents

From January 1, 2008 to February 15, 2008, we acquired 11 industrial properties and several land parcels for a total estimated investment of approximately $79.1 million. We also sold three industrial properties and one land parcel for approximately $3.6 million of gross proceeds during this period.
 
In January 2008, we entered into two interest rate protection agreements which fixed the interest rate on forecasted offerings of unsecured debt which we designated as cash flow hedges (the “January 2008 Agreements”). The January 2008 Agreements each have a notional value of $59.8 million and are effective from May 15, 2009 through May 15, 2014. The January 2008 Agreements fix the LIBOR rate at 4.0725% and 4.0770%, respectively.
 
Related Party Transactions
 
We periodically engage in transactions for which CB Richard Ellis, Inc. acts as a broker. A relative of Michael W. Brennan, the President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, is an employee of CB Richard Ellis, Inc. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, this relative received approximately $0.2, $0.3 and $0.3 million in brokerage commissions.
 
Other
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” which establishes a common definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. For financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are remeasured at least annually, this statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not expect that the implementation of this statement will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not expect that the implementation of this statement will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in it’s financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adoption of SFAS 141R on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-and Amendment of ARB No. 51.” (“SFAS 160”) SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards pertaining to ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of any retained noncontrolling equity investment when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. This statement also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We do not expect the implementation of this statement will effect our consolidated financial statements.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.
 
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 15d-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria described in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
 
Our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2007, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
 
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein within Item 15. See Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Partners of
First Industrial, L.P.:
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Industrial, LP. and its subsidiaries (“the Consolidated Operating Partnership”) at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Consolidated Operating Partnership maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Consolidated Operating Partnership’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and financial statement schedule and on the Consolidated Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

FIRST INDUSTRIAL, L.P.
 
 
1.   Organization and Formation of Partnership
 
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”) which owns common units in the Operating Partnership (“Units”) representing an approximate 87.1% and 87.3% ownership interest at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company also owns a preferred general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“Preferred Units”) with an aggregate liquidation priority of $275,000 at December 31, 2007. The Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). The Company’s operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership owned, in the aggregate, approximately a 12.9% and 12.7% interest in the Operating Partnership at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms the “Operating Partnership,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to First Industrial, L.P. and their controlled subsidiaries. We refer to our taxable REIT subsidiary, First Industrial Investment, Inc., as the “TRS.”
 
We are the sole member of several limited liability companies (the “L.L.C.s”) and the sole stockholder of the TRS (together with the Operating Partnership and the L.L.C.s, the “Consolidated Operating Partnership”), the operating data of which is consolidated with that of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership also holds at least a 99% limited partnership interest in First Industrial Financing Partnership, L.P. (the “Financing Partnership”), First Industrial Securities, L.P. (the “Securities Partnership”), First Industrial Mortgage Partnership, L.P, (the “Mortgage Partnership”), First Industrial Pennsylvania, L.P. (the “Pennsylvania Partnership”), First Industrial Harrisburg, L.P. (the “Harrisburg Partnership”), First Industrial Indianapolis, L.P. (the “Indianapolis Partnership”), TK-SV, LTD. and FI Development Services, L.P. (together, the “Other Real Estate Partnerships”). The Other Real Estate Partnership’s operating data is presented on a combined basis, separate from that of the Consolidated Operating Partnership.
 
We also own minority equity interests in, and provide various services to, five joint ventures which invest in industrial properties (the “2003 Net Lease Joint Venture,” the “2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture,” the “2005 Core Joint Venture,” the “2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program” and the “2006 Land/Development Joint Venture”). We also owned economic interests in, and provided various services to, a sixth joint venture (the “1998 Core Joint Venture”). On January 31, 2007, we purchased the 90% equity interest from the institutional investor in the 1998 Core Joint Venture. Effective January 31, 2007, the assets and liabilities and results of operations of the 1998 Core Joint Venture are consolidated with the Consolidated Operating Partnership since we own 100% of the equity interest. Prior to January 31, 2007, the 1998 Core Joint Venture was accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Additionally, in December 2007, we entered into two new joint ventures (the “2007 Canada Joint Venture” and the “2007 Europe Joint Venture”; together with 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture, 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture, 2005 Core Joint Venture, the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program, the 2006 Land/Development Joint Venture and the 1998 Core Joint Venture, the “Joint Ventures”). At December 31, the 2007 Canada Joint Venture and the 2007 Europe Joint Venture did not own any properties. The Other Real Estate Partnerships and the Joint Ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The operating data of our Joint Ventures is not consolidated with that of the Consolidated Operating Partnership as presented herein. However, the operating data of the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture, referred to as FirstCal Industrial, LLC, is separately presented on a consolidated basis, separate from that of the Operating Partnership.
 
The general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships are separate corporations, each with at least a .01% general partnership interest in the Other Real Estate Partnership for which it acts as a general partner. Each general partner of the Other Real Estate Partnerships is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
As of December 31, 2007, we owned 787 industrial properties (inclusive of developments in progress), containing an aggregate of approximately 66.4 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”). On a


57

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
combined basis, as of December 31, 2007, the Other Real Estate Partnerships owned 98 industrial properties, containing an aggregate of approximately 9.5 million square feet of GLA.
 
Profits, losses and distributions of us, the L.L.C.s and Other Real Estate Partnerships are allocated to the general partner and the limited partners, or the members, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions contained within the partnership agreements or ownership agreements, as applicable, of us, the L.L.C.s and the Other Real Estate Partnerships.
 
Any references to the number of buildings and square footage, in the financial statement footnotes are unaudited.
 
2.   Basis of Presentation
 
Our consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2007 and 2006 and for each of the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 include the accounts and operating results of the Operating Partnership, the L.L.C.s and the TRS on a consolidated basis. Such financial statements present our limited partnership interests in each of the Other Real Estate Partnerships and our minority equity interests in our joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
3.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
In order to conform with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required in preparation of our financial statements to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for each of the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these investments.
 
Restricted Cash
 
At December 31, 2007 and 2006, restricted cash includes cash held in escrow in connection with mortgage debt requirements and gross proceeds from the sales of certain industrial properties. These sales proceeds will be disbursed as we exchange into properties under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term maturity of these investments.
 
Investment in Real Estate and Depreciation
 
Investment in Real Estate is carried at cost. We review our properties on a quarterly basis for impairment and provide a provision if impairments are found. To determine if an impairment may exist, we review our properties and identify those that have had either an event of change or event of circumstance warranting further assessment of recoverability (such as a decrease in occupancy). If further assessment of recoverability is needed, we estimate the future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the property and its eventual disposition, on an individual property basis. If the sum of the expected future net cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the property, on an individual property basis, we will recognize an impairment loss based upon the estimated fair value of such property. For properties we consider held for sale, we cease depreciating the properties and value the properties at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, less costs to dispose. If circumstances arise that were previously considered unlikely, and, as a result, we decide not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, we will reclassify such property as held and used. Such property is measured at the lower of its carrying amount

FIRST INDUSTRIAL, L.P.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
(adjusted for any depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used) or fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. To calculate the fair value of properties held for sale, we deduct from the estimated sales price of the property the estimated costs to close the sale. We classify properties as held for sale when our management has approved the properties for sale.
 
Interest costs, real estate taxes, compensation costs of development personnel and other directly related costs incurred during construction periods are capitalized and depreciated commencing with the date the property is substantially completed. Upon substantial completion, we reclassify construction in progress to building, tenant improvement and leasing commissions. Such costs begin to be capitalized to the development projects from the point we are undergoing necessary activities to get the development ready for its intended use and ceases when the development projects are substantially completed and held available for occupancy. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method based on the following useful lives:
 
         
    Years  
 
Buildings and Improvements
    8 to 50  
Land Improvements
    1 to 15  
Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment
    5 to 10  
 
Construction expenditures for tenant improvements, leasehold improvements and leasing commissions (inclusive of compensation costs of personnel attributable to leasing) are capitalized and amortized over the terms of each specific lease. Capitalized compensation costs of personnel attributable to leasing relate to time directly attributable to originating leases with independent third parties that result directly from and are essential to originating those leases and would not have been incurred had these leasing transactions not occurred. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for improvements are capitalized.
 
We account for all acquisitions entered into subsequent to June 30, 2001 in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141”). Upon acquisition of a property, we allocate the purchase price of the property based upon the fair value of the assets acquired, which generally consist of land, buildings, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and intangible assets including in-place leases, above market and below market leases and tenant relationships. We allocate the purchase price to the fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property by valuing the property as if it were vacant. Acquired above and below market leases are valued based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rates and the in-place rates over the remaining lease term. Acquired above and below market leases are amortized over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases as an adjustment to rental revenue on our consolidated statements of operations.
 
The purchase price is further allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationships based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with the respective tenant. The value of in-place lease intangibles and tenant relationships, which are included as components of Deferred Leasing Intangibles, Net, are amortized over the remaining lease term (and expected renewal periods of the respective lease for tenant relationships) as adjustments to depreciation and other amortization expense. If a tenant terminates its lease early, the unamortized portion of leasing commissions, tenant improvements, above and below market leases, the in-place lease value and tenant relationships is immediately written off.

Contractor Revenues and Expenses
 
During 2007 and 2006, the TRS entered into contracts with third parties to construct industrial properties and during 2007 and also acted as general contractor to construct industrial properties including properties for the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture. We use the percentage-of-completion contract method to recognize revenue. Using this method, revenues are recorded based on estimates of the percentage of completion of individual contracts. The percentage of completion estimates are based on a comparison of the


60


Table of Contents

 
FIRST INDUSTRIAL, L.P.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
contract expenditures incurred to the estimated final costs. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
 
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
 
During 2007, we owned one industrial property and one land parcel located in Toronto, Canada for which the functional currency was determined to be the Canadian dollar. The assets and liabilities of this industrial property and land parcel are translated to U.S. dollars from the Canadian dollar based on the current exchange rate prevailing at each balance sheet date and any resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The revenues and expenses of this property and land parcel are translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates prevailing during the periods presented.
 
Deferred Financing Costs
 
Deferred financing costs include fees and costs incurred to obtain long-term financing. These fees and costs are being amortized over the terms of the respective loans. Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs was $15,089 and $13,863 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Unamortized deferred financing costs are written-off when debt is retired before the maturity date.
 
Investment in and Advances to Other Real Estate Partnerships
 
Investment in and Advances to Other Real Estate Partnerships represents our limited partnership interests in and advances to, through the Operating Partnership, the Other Real Estate Partnerships. We account for our Investment in and Advances to Other Real Estate Partnerships under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, our share of earnings or losses of the Other Real Estate Partnerships is reflected in income as earned and contributions or distributions increase or decrease, respectively, our Investment in and Advances to Other Real Estate Partnerships as paid or received, respectively.
 
Investments in Joint Ventures
 
Investments in Joint Ventures represent our limited partnership interests in our joint ventures. We account for our investments in Joint Ventures under the equity method of accounting, as we do not have operational control or a majority voting interest. Under the equity method of accounting, our share of earnings or losses of our joint ventures is reflected in income as earned and contributions or distributions increase or decrease, respectively, our Investments in Joint Ventures as paid or received, respectively. Differences between our carrying value of our investments in joint ventures and our underlying equity of such joint ventures are amortized over the respective lives of the underlying assets, as applicable.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
Effective January 1, 2006 we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share Based Payment” (“FAS 123R”), using the modified prospective application method, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. For the year ended December 31, 2005, we accounted for our stock incentive plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock based Compensation” for all new issuances of stock based compensation. At January 1, 2006, we did not have any unvested option awards and we had accounted for our previously issued restricted stock awards at fair value. Accordingly, the adoption of FAS 123R did not require us to recognize a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. We reclassified $16,825 from the Unearned Value of General Partnership’s Restricted Units caption within

Partner’s Capital to General Partner Units during the year ended December 31, 2006 in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123R.
 
Prior to January 1, 2003, we accounted for our stock incentive plans under the recognition measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”). Under APB 25, compensation expense is not recognized for options issued in which the strike price is equal to the fair value of our stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the pro forma effect on net income and earnings per unit as if the fair value recognition provisions of FAS 123R had been applied to all outstanding and unvested option awards for the year ended December 31, 2005:

We have not issued any stock options subsequent to January 2005.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Rental income is recognized on a straight-line method under which contractual rent increases are recognized evenly over the lease term. Tenant recovery income includes payments from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses and is recognized as revenue in the same period the related expenses are incurred by us.
 
Revenue is recognized on payments received from tenants for early lease terminations after we determine that all the necessary criteria have been met in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13 “Accounting for Leases” (“FAS 13”).
 
Interest income on mortgage loans receivable is recognized based on the accrual method unless a significant uncertainty of collection exists. If a significant uncertainty exists, interest income is recognized as collected.
 
We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts against the portion of tenant accounts receivable which is estimated to be uncollectible. Accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $837 and $783 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For accounts receivable we deem uncollectible, we use the direct write-off method.
 
Gain on Sale of Real Estate
 
Gain on sale of real estate is recognized using the full accrual method, when appropriate. Gains relating to transactions which do not meet the full accrual method of accounting are deferred and recognized when the full accrual method of accounting criteria are met or by using the installment or deposit methods of profit recognition, as appropriate in the circumstances. As the assets are sold, their costs and related accumulated

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
depreciation are written off with resulting gains or losses reflected in net income or loss. Estimated future costs to be incurred by us after completion of each sale are included in the determination of the gain on sales.
 
Income Taxes
 
In accordance with partnership taxation, each of the partners are responsible for reporting their share of taxable income or loss.
 
A provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for activities conducted in the TRS, which has been accounted for under FAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“FAS 109”). In accordance with FAS 109, the total benefit/expense has been separately allocated to income from continuing operations, income from discontinued operations and gain on sale of real estate.
 
We are subject to certain state and local income, excise and franchise taxes. The provision for excise and franchise taxes has been reflected in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and has not been separately stated due to its insignificance. State and local income taxes are included in the provision/benefit for income taxes which is allocated to income from continuing operations, income from discontinued operations and gain on sale of real estate.
 
We file income tax returns in the U.S., and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The TRS is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for tax years 2004 and 2005. In general, the statutes of limitations for income tax returns remain open for the years 2004 through 2007.
 
Earnings Per Unit (“EPU”)
 
Net income per weighted average general partnership and limited partnership unit (the “Units”) — basic is based on the weighted average Units outstanding (excluding restricted units that have not yet vested). Net income per weighted average Unit — diluted is based on the weighted average Units outstanding (excluding restricted units that have not yet vested) plus the dilutive effect of the Company’s in-the-money employee stock options, restricted stock and 2011 Exchangeable Notes (hereinafter defined) that result in the issuance of general partnership units. See Note 11 for further disclosure about earnings per Unit.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Our financial instruments include short-term investments, tenant accounts receivable, net, mortgage notes receivable, accounts payable, other accrued expenses, mortgage loans payable, unsecured line of credit and senior unsecured debt.
 
The fair values of the short-term investments, tenant accounts receivable, net, mortgage notes receivable, accounts payable and other accrued expenses approximates their carrying or contract values. See Note 6 for the fair values of the mortgage loans payable, unsecured line of credit and senior unsecured debt.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
Historically, we have used interest rate protection agreements (the “Agreements”) to fix the interest rate on anticipated offerings of senior unsecured debt or convert floating rate debt to fixed rate debt. Receipts or payments that result from the settlement of Agreements used to fix the interest rate on anticipated offerings of senior unsecured debt are amortized over the life of the senior unsecured debt and included in interest expense. Receipts or payments resulting from Agreements used to convert floating rate debt to fixed rate debt are recognized as a component of interest expense. Agreements which qualify for hedge accounting are marked-to-market and any gain or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income (partners’ capital). Any agreements which no longer qualify for hedge accounting are marked-to-market and any gain or loss is


63


Table of Contents

 
FIRST INDUSTRIAL, L.P.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
recognized in net income immediately. The credit risks associated with the Agreements are controlled through the evaluation and monitoring of the creditworthiness of the counterparty. In the event that the counterparty fails to meet the terms of the Agreements, our exposure is limited to the current value of the interest rate differential, not the notional amount, and our carrying value of the Agreements on the balance sheet. See Note 6 for more information on the Agreements.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
On January 1, 2002, we adopted the FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets” (“FAS 144”). FAS 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the disposal of long lived assets. FAS 144 requires that the results of operations and gains or losses on the sale of property or property held for sale be presented in discontinued operations if both of the following criteria are met: (a) the operations and cash flows of the property have been (or will be) eliminated from our ongoing operations as a result of the disposal transaction and (b) we will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the property after the disposal transaction. FAS 144 also requires prior period results of operations for these properties to be reclassified and presented in discontinued operations in prior consolidated statements of operations.
 
Segment Reporting
 
Management views the Consolidated Operating Partnership as a single segment.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” which establishes a common definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. For financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are remeasured at least annually, this statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not expect that the implementation of this statement will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not expect that the implementation of this statement will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adoption of SFAS 141R on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-and Amendment of ARB No. 51.” (“SFAS 160”) establishes accounting and reporting standards pertaining to ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of any retained noncontrolling equity investment when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. This statement also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on

or after December 15, 2008. We do not expect that the implementation of this statement will have an effect on our consolidated financial statements.

5.   Investments in Joint Ventures and Property Management Services
 
On September 28, 1998, we entered into the 1998 Core Venture with an institutional investor to invest in industrial properties. At December 31, 2006, we owned a ten percent equity interest in the 1998 Core and provided property and asset management services to the 1998 Core Joint Venture. On January 31, 2007, we purchased the 90% equity interest from the institutional investor in the 1998 Core Joint Venture. We paid $18,458 in cash and assumed $30,340 in mortgage loans payable. As of December 31, 2007, we have paid off and retired the mortgage loan payable. In connection with the early repayment of the mortgage loans payable, we incurred prepayment penalties and a write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees totaling $265.
 
On May 16, 2003, we entered into the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture with an institutional investor to invest in industrial properties. We own a 15% equity interest in and provide property management services to the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture.
 
On March 18, 2005, we entered into the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture with an institutional investor to invest in, own, develop, redevelop and operate certain industrial properties. We own a 10% equity interest in and provide property management, asset management, development management and leasing management services to the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture.
 
On September 7, 2005, we entered into the 2005 Core Joint Venture with an institutional investor to invest in, own and operate certain industrial properties. We own a 10% equity interest in and provide property management, asset management, development management, disposition, incentive and leasing management services to the 2005 Core Joint Venture.
 
On March 21, 2006, we entered into the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program with an institutional investor to invest in industrial properties. We own a 15% equity interest in and provide property management, asset management and leasing management services to the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program.
 
On July 21, 2006, we entered into the 2006 Land/Development Joint Venture with an institutional investor to invest in land and vertical development. We own a 10% equity interest in and provide property management, asset management, development management and leasing management services to the 2006 Land/Development Joint Venture.
 
On February 27, 2007, we redeemed the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture. In connection with the redemption, we assumed a $8,250 mortgage loan payable and $2,951 in other liabilities. The mortgage loan payable was subsequently paid off in February 2007.
 
During July 2007, we entered into a management arrangement with an institutional investor to provide property management, leasing, acquisition, disposition and portfolio management services for industrial properties (the “July 2007 Fund”). We do not own an equity interest in the July 2007 Fund, however we are entitled to incentive payments if certain economic thresholds related to the industrial properties are achieved.
 
During December 2007, we entered into the 2007 Canada Joint Venture and the 2007 Europe Joint Venture with an institutional investor to invest in, own, develop, redevelop and operate industrial properties. We own a 10% equity interest in and will provide property management, asset management, development management and leasing management services to the 2007 Canada Joint Venture and the 2007 Europe Joint Venture.
 
As of December 31, 2007, the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture owned 11 industrial properties comprising approximately 5.1 million square feet of GLA, the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture owned 24 industrial properties comprising approximately 5.0 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels, the 2005 Core Joint Venture owned 66 industrial properties comprising approximately 4.8 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels, the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program owned 12 industrial properties

comprising approximately 5.0 million square feet of GLA and the 2006 Land/Development Joint Venture owned several land parcels. As of December 31, 2007, the 2007 Canada Joint Venture and the 2007 Europe Joint Venture did not own properties.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2006, we sold two land parcels to the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture. During the year ended December 31, 2005, we sold seven industrial properties comprising approximately 1.5 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels to the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture. We deferred 10% of the gain from the sales, which is equal to our economic interest in the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture. On May 18, 2007, we repurchased 66 acres of the land we had sold to the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture for a purchase price of $6,379. Since we had deferred 10% of the gain on sale from the original sale in 2005, we netted the unamortized deferred gain amount, along with our 10% economic interest in the gain on sale and distributions in excess of our 10% economic interest we received from the sale against the basis of the land.
 
On October 15, 2007, we purchased 10 acres of land from the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture for a purchase price of $3,714. We netted our 10% economic interest in the gain on sale and distributions in excess of our 10% economic interest we received from the sale against the basis of the land.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2007, we earned acquisition fees from the 2006 Land/Development Joint Venture and the July 2007 Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company earned acquisition fees from the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture, the 2005 Core Joint Venture, the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program and the July 2007 Fund. We deferred 15% of the acquisition fees earned from the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture and the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program activity and 10% of the acquisition fees earned from the 2005 Core Joint Venture and the 2006 Land/Development Joint Venture activity. The deferrals reduced our investment in the Joint Ventures and are amortized into income over the life of the underlying properties, generally 25 to 40 years.
 
At December 31, 2007 and 2006, we have a receivable from the Joint Ventures and the July 2007 Fund of $6,068 and $7,967, respectively, which mainly relates to development, leasing, property management and asset management fees due to us from the Joint Ventures and the July 2007 Fund and reimbursement for development expenditures made by the TRS who is acting in the capacity of the general contractor for development projects for the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture. These receivable amounts are included in prepaid expenses and other assets, net.
 
During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, we invested the following amounts in, as well as received distributions from, our Joint Ventures and recognized fees from acquisition, disposition, leasing, development, incentive, property management and asset management services from our Joint Ventures and the July 2007 Fund in the following amounts:

Mortgage Loans Payable, Net
 
During 2007, in conjunction with the acquisition of several industrial properties, we assumed mortgages in the aggregate of $38,590; these mortgages were paid off and retired during 2007. As of December 31, 2007, mortgage loans payable of $73,550 are collateralized by industrial properties with a carrying value of $136,846.
 
Senior Unsecured Notes, Net
 
On May 7, 2007, we issued $150,000 of senior unsecured debt which matures on May 15, 2017 and bears interest at a rate of 5.95% (the “2017 II Notes”). The issue price of the 2017 II Notes was 99.730%. Interest is paid semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15. In April 2006, we entered into interest rate protection agreements to fix the interest rate on the 2017 II Notes prior to issuance. We settled the effective portion of the interest rate protection agreements on May 1, 2007 for $4,261, which is included in other comprehensive income. The debt issue discount and the settlement amount of the interest rate protection agreements will be amortized over the life of the 2017 II Notes as an adjustment to interest expense. Including the impact of the offering discount and the settlement amount of the interest rate projection agreements, our effective interest rate on the 2017 II Notes is 6.37%. The 2017 II Notes contain certain covenants, including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage.
 
On May 15, 2007, we paid off and retired our 7.60% 2007 Unsecured Notes in the amount of $150,000.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
On September 25, 2006, we issued $175,000 of senior unsecured debt which bears interest at a rate of 4.625% (the “2011 Exchangeable Notes”). We also granted the initial purchasers of the 2011 Exchangeable Notes an option exercisable until October 4, 2006 to purchase up to an additional $25,000 principal amount of the 2011 Exchangeable Notes to cover over-allotments, if any (the “Over-allotment Option”). Holders of the 2011 Exchangeable Notes may exchange their notes for our common stock prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the stated maturity date at any time beginning on July 15, 2011 and also under the following circumstances: 1) during any calendar quarter beginning after December 31, 2006 (and only during such calendar quarter), if, and only if, the closing sale price per share of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding calendar quarter is more than 130% of the exchange price per share of the Company’s common stock in effect on the applicable trading day; 2) during the five consecutive trading-day period following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price of the notes was less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price per share of the Company’s common stock multiplied by the applicable exchange rate; 3) if those notes have been called for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day prior to the redemption date; 4) upon the occurrence of distributions of certain rights to purchase our common stock or certain other assets; or 5) if the Company’s common stock ceases to be listed on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange and is not quoted on the over-the-counter market as reported by Pink Sheets LLC or any similar organization, in each case, for 30 consecutive trading days. The 2011 Exchangeable Notes have an initial exchange rate of 19.6356 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount, representing an exchange price of approximately $50.93 per common share and an exchange premium of approximately 20% based on the last reported sale price of $42.44 per share of the Company’s common stock on September 19, 2006. If a change of control transaction described in the indenture relating to the 2011 Exchangeable Notes occurs and a holder elects to exchange notes in connection with any such transaction, holders of the 2011 Exchangeable Notes will be entitled to a make-whole amount in the form of an increase in the exchange rate. The exchange rate may also be adjusted under certain other circumstances, including the payment of cash dividends in excess of the Company’s current regular quarterly dividend on its common stock of $0.70 per share. The 2011 Exchangeable Notes will be exchangeable for cash up to their principal amount and shares of the Company’s common stock for the remainder of the exchange value in excess of the principal amount. The 2011 Exchangeable notes mature on September 15, 2011, unless previously redeemed or repurchased by us or exchanged in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Interest is paid semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning March 15, 2007. The 2011 Exchangeable Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. On October 3, 2006, the initial purchasers of the 2011 Exchangeable Notes exercised their Over-Allotment Option with respect to $25,000 in principal amount of the 2011 Exchangeable Notes. With the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, the aggregate principal amount of 2011 Exchangeable Notes issued and outstanding is $200,000. In connection with the Operating Partnership’s offering of the 2011 Exchangeable Notes, the Operating Partnership entered into capped call transactions (the “capped call transactions”) with affiliates of two of the initial purchasers of the 2011 Exchangeable Notes (the “option counterparties”) in order to increase the effective exchange price of the 2011 Exchangeable Notes to $59.42 per share of our common stock, which represents an exchange premium of approximately 40% based on the last reported sale price of $42.44 per share of the Company’s common stock on September 19, 2006. The aggregate cost of the capped call transactions was approximately $6,835. The capped call transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution with respect to the Company’s common stock upon exchange of the 2011 Exchangeable Notes to the extent the then market value per share of the Company’s common stock does not exceed the cap price of the capped call transaction during the observation period relating to an exchange. The cost of the capped call will be accounted for as a hedge and is included in partners’ capital because the derivative is indexed to our own stock and meets the scope exception in FAS 133. The capped call on the 2011 Exchangeable Notes requires a net share settlement.
 
All of our senior unsecured debt (except for the 2011 Exchangeable Notes) contains certain covenants, including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage.

Unsecured Line of Credit
 
We have maintained an unsecured revolving credit facility since 1997. On September 28, 2007, we amended and restated our unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Unsecured Line of Credit”). The Unsecured Line of Credit matures on September 28, 2012, has a borrowing capacity of $500,000 (with the right, subject to certain conditions, to increase the borrowing capacity up to $700,000) and bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 0.475%, or the prime rate, at our election. Effective October 4, 2007, we converted borrowings under the Unsecured Line of Credit to LIBOR based borrowings. At December 31, 2007, borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 5.787%. Up to $100,000 of the $500,000 capacity may be borrowed in foreign currencies, including the Canadian dollar, Euro, British Sterling and Japanese Yen. The net unamortized deferred financing fees related to the prior unsecured revolving credit facility and any additional deferred financing fees incurred in entering into the Unsecured Line of Credit are being amortized over the life of the Unsecured Line of Credit, except for $128, which represents the write off of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with certain lenders who did not renew the line of credit and is included in loss from early retirement of debt. The Unsecured Line of Credit contains certain financial covenants relating to debt service coverage, market value net worth, and total funded indebtedness.

The fair value of the senior unsecured notes was determined by quoted market prices, if available. The fair values of our senior unsecured notes that were not valued by quoted market prices and the fair values of our mortgage loans payable were determined by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The fair value of the Unsecured Line of Credit was equal to its carrying value due to the variable interest rate nature of the loans.

Other Comprehensive Income
 
In conjunction with certain issuances of senior unsecured notes, we entered into interest rate protection agreements to fix the interest rate on anticipated offerings of senior unsecured notes. In the next 12 months, we will amortize approximately $741 into net income by decreasing interest expense.
 
In April 2006, we entered into two interest rate protection agreements which fixed the interest rate on forecasted offerings of unsecured debt which we designated as cash flow hedges (the “April 2006 Agreements”). The April 2006 Agreements each had a notional value of $72,900 and were effective from November 28, 2006 through November 28, 2016. The April 2006 Agreements fixed the LIBOR rate at 5.537%. On May 1, 2007, we settled the effective portion of the April 2006 Agreements for $4,261, which is included in other comprehensive income. The settlement amount of the April 2006 Agreements will be amortized over the life of the 2017 II Notes as an adjustment to interest expense.
 
In July 2007, the 2006 Land/Development Joint Venture entered into two interest rate protection agreements to effectively convert floating rate debt to fixed rate debt on a portion of its line of credit. The hedge relationship is considered highly effective and for the year ended December 31, 2007, $6,499 of unrealized loss due to a change in values of the swap contracts was recognized in other comprehensive income by the 2006 Land/Development Joint Venture. We recorded $650 in unrealized loss, representing our 10% share, net of $254 of income tax provision, which is shown as mark to market of interest rate protection agreements in other comprehensive income (loss) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007.
 
At December 31, 2007, we owned one industrial property and one land parcel located in Toronto, Canada for which the functional currency was determined to be the Canadian dollar. The assets and liabilities of this industrial property and land parcel are translated to U.S. dollars from the Canadian dollar based on the current exchange rate prevailing at each balance sheet date and any resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. For the year ended December 31, 2007, we recorded $3,283 in foreign currency translation gain, net of $1,149 of income tax provision.
 
7.   Partners’ Capital
 
We have issued general partnership units and limited partnership units (together, the “Units”) and preferred general partnership units. The general partnership units resulted from capital contributions from the Company. The limited partnership units are issued in conjunction with the acquisition of certain properties (see discussion below). Subject to lock-up periods and certain adjustments, limited partnership units are convertible into common stock, $.01 par value, of the Company on a one-for-one basis or cash at the option of the Company. The preferred general partnership units result from preferred capital contributions from the Company. The preferred general partnership units had an aggregate liquidation priority of $275,000 and $325,000 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We are required to make all required distributions on the preferred general partnership units prior to any distribution of cash or assets to the holders of the Units. The consent of the holder of the limited partnership units is required to alter such holder’s rights as to allocations and distributions, to alter or modify such holder’s rights with respect to redemption, to cause the early termination of the Consolidated Operating Partnership, or to amend the provisions of the partnership agreement which requires such consent.
 
Unit Contributions
 
On December 9, 2005, the Company issued 1,250,000 shares of $.01 par value common stock (the “December 2005 Equity Offering”). The net proceeds of $48,775 received from the December 2005 Equity Offering were contributed to us in exchange for 1,250,000 General Partner Units and are reflected in our financial statements as a general partner contribution.

9.   Sale of Real Estate, Real Estate Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
 
In 2005, we sold 82 industrial properties comprising approximately 10.7 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels.

The gain on sale of real estate was approximately $131,612, of which $102,926 is shown in discontinued operations. Seventy-three of the 82 sold industrial properties meet the criteria established by FAS 144 to be included in discontinued operations. Therefore, in accordance with FAS 144, the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate, net of income taxes, for the 73 sold industrial properties that meet the criteria established by FAS 144 are included in discontinued operations. The results of operations and gain on sale of real estate, net of income taxes, for the nine industrial properties and several land parcels that do not meet the criteria established by FAS 144 are included in continuing operations.
 
In 2006, we sold 109 industrial properties comprising approximately 16.0 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels, totaling gross proceeds of $895,024. The gain on sale of real estate was approximately $202,817, of which $196,622 is shown in discontinued operations. The 109 sold industrial properties meet the criteria established by FAS 144 to be included in discontinued operations. Therefore, in accordance with FAS 144, the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate, net of income taxes, for the 109 sold industrial properties are included in discontinued operations. The results of operations and gain on sale of real estate, net of income taxes, for several land parcels that do not meet the criteria established by FAS 144 are included in continuing operations.

One hundred fifty-six of the 159 sold industrial properties meet the criteria established by FAS 144 to be included in discontinued operations. Therefore, in accordance with FAS 144, the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate, net of income taxes, for the 156 sold industrial properties that meet the criteria established by FAS 144 are included in discontinued operations. The results of operations and gain on sale of real estate, net of income taxes, for the three industrial properties and several land parcels that do not meet the criteria established by FAS 144 are included in continuing operations.
 
At December 31, 2007, we had six industrial properties comprising approximately 0.8 million square feet of GLA and certain land parcels held for sale. In accordance with FAS 144, the results of operations of the six industrial properties held for sale at December 31, 2007 are included in discontinued operations. There can be no assurance that such industrial properties held for sale will be sold.

The dilutive options and restricted units excluded from the computation are 90,386 and 73,837, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2007, 116,155 and 93,643, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2006, and 141,625 and 82,888, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Unvested restricted units aggregating 470,009, 109,517, and 182,651 were anti-dilutive at December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively, and accordingly, were excluded from dilution computations.
 
Additionally, options to purchase common stock of 355,901, 381,976, and 546,723 were outstanding as of December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

The TRS’s components of income tax (expense) benefit for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:
 
                         
    2007     2006     2005

  $ (2,012 )   $ (3,591 )   $ (3,369 )
Tax expense associated with gains and losses on the sale of real estate which is included in discontinued operations

The income tax benefit (expense) pertaining to income from continuing operations and gain on sale of real estate for the TRS differs from the amounts computed by applying the applicable federal statutory tax rate to income as follows:
 
                         
    2007     2006     2005  
 
Tax benefit at federal rate related to continuing operations
  $ 8,100     $ 6,725     $ 3,058

Net income tax benefit
  $ 9,449     $ 8,080     $ 5,422  
                         
 
We adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 had no affect on our financial statements as we had no unrecognized tax benefits. As of the adoption date, we had paid approximately $1,400 (representing taxes and interest) to the State of Michigan regarding business loss carryforwards for which we are currently litigating. That amount will favorably affect our effective income tax rate in future periods should we prevail.
 
On December 11, 2007, the Michigan Court of Claims rendered a decision against us regarding the business loss carryforwards. Also, the court ruled against us on an alternative position involving Michigan’s Capital Acquisition Deduction (CAD). We filed an appeal to the Michigan Appeals Court in January 2008. However, as a result of the lower court’s decision, $705 was accrued for both tax and financial statement purposes; therefore, there is no unrecognized tax benefit related to this issue.
 
We have no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2007. To the extent we have unrecognized tax benefits in the future, it will be our policy to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

14.   Stock Based Compensation
 
We maintain three stock incentive plans, (the “Stock Incentive Plans”) which are administered by our Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. There are approximately 10.0 million shares reserved under the Stock Incentive Plans. Only officers, certain employees, its Independent Directors and its affiliates generally are eligible to participate in the Stock Incentive Plans.
 
The Stock Incentive Plans authorize (i) the grant of stock options that qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code, (ii) the grant of stock options that do not so qualify, (iii) restricted stock awards, (iv) performance share awards and (v) dividend equivalent rights. The exercise price of stock options is determined by the Compensation Committee. Special provisions apply to awards granted under the Stock Incentive Plans in the event of a change in control in the Consolidated Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2007, stock options and restricted stock covering 1.3 million shares were outstanding and 1.8 million shares were available under the Stock Incentive Plans. At December 31, 2007 all outstanding stock options are vested. Stock option transactions are summarized as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
In September 1994, the Board of Directors approved and we adopted a 401(k)/Profit Sharing Plan. Under our 401(k)/Profit Sharing Plan, all eligible employees may participate by making voluntary contributions. We may make, but are not required to make, matching contributions. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, we made matching contributions of approximately $542, $451, and $358, respectively.
 
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, we awarded 442,008, 303,142, and 189,878 restricted stock units to our employees having a fair value at grant date of $20,882, $11,519, and $7,976, respectively. We also awarded 17,139, 16,232, and 10,164 restricted stock units to our directors having a fair value at grant date of $688, $633, and $405, respectively. Restricted stock units granted to employees generally vest over a period of three years and restricted stock units granted to directors generally vest over a period or three to ten years. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, we recognized $14,150, $9,624, and $8,845 in restricted stock amortization related to restricted stock units, of which $1,707, $967, and $1,297, respectively, was capitalized in connection with development activities. At December 31, 2007, we have $23,787 in unearned compensation related to unvested restricted stock units. The weighted average period that the unrecognized compensation is expected to be incurred is 1.38 years. We have not awarded options to our employees or our directors during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, and therefore no stock-based employee compensation expense related to options is included in net income available to unitholders.

16.   Commitments and Contingencies
 
In the normal course of business, we are involved in legal actions arising from the ownership of its properties. In our opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, operations or liquidity.
 
Five properties have leases granting the tenants options to purchase the property. Such options are exercisable at various times and at appraised fair market value or at a fixed purchase price in excess of our depreciated cost of the asset. We have no notice of any exercise of any tenant purchase option.
 
We have committed to the construction of certain development projects totaling approximately 2.1 million square feet of GLA. The estimated total construction costs are approximately $114,005. Of this amount, approximately $64,641 remains to be funded. There can be no assurance that the actual completion cost will not exceed the estimated completion cost stated above.
 
At December 31, 2007, we had 23 letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate amount of $9,582. These letters of credit expire between February, 2008 and January, 2010.
 
Ground and Operating Lease Agreements
 
For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, we recognized $3,102, $2,737 and $2,275 in operating and ground lease expense.
 
Future minimum rental payments under the terms of all non-cancelable ground and operating leases under which we are the lessee, as of December 31, 2007, are as follows:

17.   Subsequent Events
 
On January 22, 2008, we paid a fourth quarter 2007 distribution of $0.72 per Unit, totaling approximately $36,079.
 
From January 1, 2008 to February 15, 2008, the Company awarded 2,168 shares of restricted common stock to certain Directors. We issued General Partner Units to the Company in the same amount. These shares of restricted common stock had a fair value of approximately $67 on the date of grant. The restricted common stock and units vest over five years. Compensation expense will be charged to earnings over the respective vesting period.
 
From January 1, 2008 to February 15, 2008, we acquired 11 industrial properties and several land parcels for a total estimated investment of approximately $79,073. We also sold three industrial properties and one land parcel for approximately $3,592 of gross proceeds during this period.
 
In January 2008, we entered into two interest rate protection agreements which fixed the interest rate on forecasted offerings of unsecured debt which we designated as cash flow hedges (the “January 2008 Agreements”). The January 2008 Agreements each have a notional value of $59,750 and are effective from May 15, 2009 through May 15, 2014. The January 2008 Agreements fix the LIBOR rate at 4.0725% and 4.0770%, respectively.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Partners of
the Other Real Estate Partnerships:
 
In our opinion, the accompanying combined balance sheets and the related combined statements of operations, of changes in partners’ capital and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Other Real Estate Partnerships at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Other Real Estate Partnerships’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1.   Organization and Formation of Partnerships
 
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 87.1% and 87.3% partnership interest at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. 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 limited partners of the Operating Partnership own, in the aggregate, approximately a 12.9% and 12.7% interest in the Operating Partnership at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
The Operating Partnership owns at least a 99% limited partnership interest in First Industrial Financing Partnership, L.P., First Industrial Securities, L.P., First Industrial Mortgage Partnership, L.P., First Industrial Pennsylvania, L.P., First Industrial Harrisburg, L.P., First Industrial Indianapolis, L.P., TK-SV, LTD. and FI Development Services, L.P. (together, the “Other Real Estate Partnerships”).
 
The general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships are separate corporations, each with at least a .01% general partnership interest in the Other Real Estate Partnerships for which it acts as a general partner. Each general partner of the Other Real Estate Partnerships is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
On a combined basis, as of December 31, 2007, the Other Real Estate Partnerships owned 98 industrial properties, containing an aggregate of approximately 9.5 million square feet of GLA.
 
Profits, losses and distributions of the Other Real Estate Partnerships are allocated to the general partner and the limited partners in accordance with the provisions contained within each restated and amended partnership agreement.
 
2.   Basis of Presentation
 
The combined financial statements of the Other Real Estate Partnerships at December 31, 2007 and 2006 and for each of the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 include the accounts and operating results of the Other Real Estate Partnerships on a combined basis.
 
3.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
In order to conform with generally accepted accounting principles, management, in preparation of the Other Real Estate Partnerships’ financial statements, is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for each of the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these investments.
 
Restricted Cash
 
Restricted cash includes gross proceeds from the sales of certain properties. These sales proceeds will be disbursed as the Other Real Estate Partnerships exchange into properties under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term maturity of these investments.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Investment in Real Estate and Depreciation
 
Investment in Real Estate is carried at cost. The Other Real Estate Partnerships reviews its properties on a quarterly basis for impairment and provides a provision if impairments are found. To determine if an impairment may exist, the Other Real Estate Partnerships reviews its properties and identifies those that have had either an event of change or event of circumstances warranting further assessment of recoverability (such as a decrease in occupancy). If further assessment of recoverability is needed, the Other Real Estate Partnerships estimate the future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the property and its eventual disposition, on an individual property basis. If the sum of the expected future net cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the property, on an individual property basis, the Other Real Estate Partnerships will recognize an impairment loss based upon the estimated fair value of such property. For properties management considers held for sale, the Other Real Estate Partnerships ceases depreciating the properties and values the properties at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, less costs to dispose. If circumstances arise that were previously considered unlikely, and as a result, the Other Real Estate Partnerships decide not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, the Other Real Estate Partnerships will reclassify such property as held and used. Such property is measured at the lower of its carrying amount (adjusted for any depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used) or fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. The Other Real Estate Partnerships determine fair value of properties that are held for use by discounting the future expected cash flows of the properties. To calculate the fair value of properties held for sale, the Other Real Estate Partnerships deduct from the estimated sales price of the property the estimated costs to close the sale.
 
Interest costs, real estate taxes, compensation costs of development personnel and other directly related expenses incurred during construction periods are capitalized and depreciated commencing with the date the property is substantially completed. Upon substantial completion, the Other Real Estate Partnerships reclassify construction in progress to building, tenant improvement and leasing commissions. Such costs begin to be capitalized to the development projects from the point the Other Real Estate Partnerships are undergoing necessary activities to get the development ready for its intended use and ceases when the development projects are substantially completed and held available for occupancy. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method based on the following useful lives:
 
         
    Years  
 
Buildings and Improvements
    8 to 50  
Land Improvements
    1 to 15  
Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment
    5 to 10  
 
Construction expenditures for tenant improvements, leasehold improvements and leasing commissions (inclusive of compensation costs of personnel attributable to leasing) are capitalized and amortized over the terms of each specific lease. Capitalized compensation costs of personnel attributable to leasing relate to time directly attributable to originating leases with independent third parties that result directly from and are essential to originating those leases and would not have been incurred had these leasing transactions not occurred. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for improvements are capitalized.
 
The Other Real Estate Partnerships account for all acquisitions entered into subsequent to June 30, 2001 in accordance with FAS 141. Upon acquisition of a property, the Other Real Estate Partnerships allocate the purchase price of the property based upon the fair value of the assets acquired, which generally consist of land, buildings, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and intangible assets including in-place leases, above market and below market leases and tenant relationships. The Other Real Estate Partnerships allocate the purchase price to the fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property determined by valuing the

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
property as if it were vacant. Acquired above and below market leases are valued based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rates and the in-place rates over the remaining lease term.
 
The purchase price is further allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationships based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Other Real Estate Partnership’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. Acquired above and below market leases are amortized over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases as an adjustment to rental revenue on the Other Real Estate Partnerships’ combined statements of operations. The value of in-place lease intangibles and tenant relationships which are included as components of Deferred Leasing Intangibles included in total assets, are amortized over the remaining lease term (and expected renewal periods in the respective lease for tenant relationships) as adjustments to depreciation and other amortization expense and is included in other assets. If a tenant terminates its lease early, the unamortized portion of leasing commissions, tenant improvements, above and below market leases, the in-place lease value and tenant relationships is immediately charged to expense.
 
Deferred Leasing Intangibles included in total assets consist of the following:

Rental revenues increased by $451, $546, and $290 related to amortization of above/(below) market leases for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. The Other Real Estate Partnerships will

Deferred Financing Costs
 
Deferred financing costs include fees and costs incurred to obtain long-term financing. These fees and costs are being amortized over the terms of the respective loans. At December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, there were no deferred financing costs. Unamortized deferred financing costs are written-off when debt is retired before the maturity date.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Rental income is recognized on a straight-line method under which contractual rent increases are recognized evenly over the lease term. Tenant recovery income includes payments from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses and is recognized as revenues in the same period the related expenses are incurred by the Other Real Estate Partnerships.
 
Revenue is recognized on payments received from tenants for early lease terminations after the Other Real Estate Partnerships determine that all the necessary criteria have been met in accordance with FAS 13 “Accounting for Leases”.
 
Interest income on mortgage loans receivable is recognized based on the accrual method unless a significant uncertainty of collection exists. If a significant uncertainty exists, interest income is recognized as collected. At December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, there were no outstanding mortgage loans receivable.
 
The Other Real Estate Partnerships provide an allowance for doubtful accounts against the portion of tenant accounts receivable which is estimated to be uncollectible. Accounts receivable in the combined balance sheets are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. For accounts receivable the Other Real Estate Partnerships deem uncollectible, the Other Real Estate Partnerships uses the direct write-off method.
 
Gain on Sale of Real Estate
 
Gain on sale of real estate is recognized using the full accrual method. Gains relating to transactions which do not meet the full accrual method of accounting are deferred and recognized when the full accrual method of accounting criteria are met or by using the installment or deposit methods of profit recognition, as appropriate in the circumstances. As the assets are sold, their costs and related accumulated depreciation are written off with resulting gains or losses reflected in net income or loss. Estimated future costs to be incurred by the Other Real Estate Partnerships after completion of each sale are included in the determination of the gain on sales.

Income Taxes
 
In accordance with partnership taxation, each of the partners are responsible for reporting their share of taxable income or loss. The Other Real Estate Partnerships are subject to certain state and local income, excise and franchise taxes. The provision for excise and franchise tables has been reflected in general and administrative expense in the combined statement of operations and has not been separately stated due to its insignificance. State and local income taxes are included in the provision/benefit for income taxes which is allocated to income from continuing operations.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Other Real Estate Partnerships’ financial instruments include short-term investments, tenant accounts receivable, net, accounts payable and other accrued expenses. The fair values of the short-term investments, tenant accounts receivable, net, accounts payable and other accrued expenses were not materially different from their carrying or contract values.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
On January 1, 2002, the Other Real Estate Partnerships adopted FAS 144. FAS 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the disposal of long lived assets. FAS 144 requires that the results of operations and gains or losses on the sale of property sold be presented in discontinued operations if both of the following criteria are met: (a) the operations and cash flows of the property have been (or will be) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Other Real Estate Partnerships as a result of the disposal transaction and (b) the Other Real Estate Partnerships will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the property after the disposal transaction. FAS 144 also requires prior period results of operations for these properties to be restated and presented in discontinued operations in prior combined statements of operations.
 
4.   Acquisition and Development of Real Estate
 
In 2005, the Other Real Estate Partnerships acquired 12 industrial properties comprising approximately 1.7 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels for a total purchase price of approximately $62,114, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the properties.
 
In 2006, the Other Real Estate Partnerships acquired 12 industrial properties comprising approximately 0.8 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels for a total purchase price of approximately $47,314, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the properties.
 
In 2007, the Other Real Estate Partnerships acquired two industrial properties comprising approximately 0.6 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels for a total purchase price of approximately $39,294, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the properties. The Other Real Estate Partnerships also substantially completed development of one property comprising 0.3 million square feet of GLA at a cost of approximately $10,740. The Other Real Estate Partnerships reclassed the costs of the substantially completed development from construction in progress to building, tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
 
Intangible Assets Subject to Amortization in the Period of Acquisition
 
The fair value of in-place leases, tenant relationships, and below market leases recorded as a result of the above acquisitions was $1,874, $1,030 and $(781), respectively for the year ended December 31, 2007. The weighted average life in months of in-place leases, tenant relationships and below market leases recorded as a result of 2007 acquisitions was 50, 110 and 67 months, respectively.

OTHER REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIPS
 
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
The fair value of in-place leases, above market leases, tenant relationships, and below market leases recorded as a result of the above acquisitions was $2,836, $582, $2,897, and $(894), respectively for the year ended December 31, 2006. The weighted average life in months of in-place leases, above market leases, tenant relationships, and below market leases recorded as a result of 2006 acquisitions was 79, 78, 81 and 17 months, respectively.
 
5.  Sale of Real Estate and Discontinued Operations
 
In 2005, the Other Real Estate Partnerships sold 14 industrial properties comprising approximately 2.1 million square feet of GLA. Of the 14 industrial properties sold, one industrial property sale was made to a joint venture in which we own a 10% equity interest. Gross proceeds from the sales of the 14 industrial properties totaled approximately $94,472. The gain on sale of real estate was approximately $30,076, of which $29,213 is shown in discontinued operations. One of the 14 sold industrial properties did not meet the criteria established by FAS 144 to be included in discontinued operations. Therefore, in accordance with FAS 144, the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the 13 sold industrial properties that met the criteria established by FAS 144 are included in discontinued operations. The results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the industrial property and several land parcels that do not meet the criteria established by FAS 144 are included in continuing operations.
 
In 2006, the Other Real Estate Partnerships sold 16 industrial properties comprising approximately 1.1 million square feet of GLA, totaling gross proceeds of approximately $51,776. The gain on sale of real estate was approximately $16,696, of which $16,820 is shown in discontinued operations. Therefore, in accordance with FAS 144, the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the 16 sold industrial properties are included in discontinued operations. The results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the several land parcels that do not meet the criteria established by FAS 144 are included in continuing operations.
 
In 2007, the Other Real Estate Partnerships sold five industrial properties comprising approximately 0.6 million square feet of GLA and one parcel of land. Gross proceeds from the sales of the five industrial properties and several land parcels totaled approximately $40,876. The gain on sale of real estate was approximately $9,140, of which $7,594 is shown in discontinued operations. Therefore, in accordance with FAS 144, the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the five sold industrial properties that met the criteria established by FAS 144 are included in discontinued operations. The results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the industrial property and several land parcels that do not meet the criteria established by FAS 144 are included in continuing operations.

9.   Commitments and Contingencies
 
In the normal course of business, the Other Real Estate Partnerships are involved in legal actions arising from the ownership of its properties. In management’s opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a materially adverse effect on the combined financial position, operations or liquidity of the Other Real Estate Partnerships.
 
Two properties have a lease granting the tenant an option to purchase the property. Such options are exercisable at various times and at appraised fair market value or at a fixed purchase price generally in excess of the Other Real Estate Partnerships’ depreciated cost of the asset. The Other Real Estate Partnerships have no notice of any exercise of these tenant purchase options.

1.   Organization and Formation of Joint Venture
 
FirstCal Industrial, LLC (the “Joint Venture”) was organized in the state of Delaware on March 18, 2005. The Joint Venture was formed to invest in, own, develop, redevelop, operate and hold for long term capital appreciation interests in certain industrial properties. CSJV FirstCal, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of California State Teachers’ Retirement System, holds a 90% membership interest. FR FirstCal, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of First Industrial Investment, Inc. (“FIII”), holds the remaining 10% membership interest and acts as manager to the Joint Venture. FIII is a wholly owned subsidiary of First Industrial, LP (“FILP”). FILP is a limited partnership organized in the state of Delaware on November 23, 1993. The sole general partner of FILP is First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the “REIT”) which is a real estate investment trust organized in the state of Maryland on August 10, 1993.
 
The Joint Venture finances its investments with capital contributions from its Members, or proceeds from its unsecured line of credits or such other financing as the Members deem appropriate. Properties are managed on a day to day basis by FirstCal Industrial Property Manager, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of First Industrial LP (“FILP”) through August 14, 2006 and a wholly owned subsidiary of FIII thereafter. Major decisions are made by the board of the Joint Venture.
 
As of December 31, 2007, the Joint Venture owned 24 industrial properties comprising approximately 5.0 million square feet (unaudited) of gross leaseable area (“GLA”) and several land parcels. The Joint Venture had 18 development projects in progress. As of December 31, 2006, the Joint Venture owned 45 industrial properties comprising approximately 4.7 million square feet (unaudited) of GLA and several land parcels, and had 22 development projects in progress.
 
2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and for the period from March 18, 2005 through December 31, 2005 reflect the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of the Joint Venture on a consolidated basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Joint Venture wholly owns Limited Liability Companies (“LLCs”), whose purpose is to hold, develop and operate single industrial properties. The financial statements presented consolidate the wholly owned LLCs. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated.
 
Management Estimates
 
In order to conform with GAAP, management, in preparation of the Joint Venture’s consolidated financial statements, is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and for the period from March 18, 2005 through December 31, 2005. Actual results differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term maturity of these investments.

Restricted Cash
 
At December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, restricted cash includes cash held in escrow accounts managed by third parties for earnest deposits on prospective property and land acquisitions and miscellaneous obligations arising from the sales of certain properties. At December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, restricted cash also includes gross proceeds from the sales of certain properties which will be disbursed to FR FirstCal, LLC upon satisfaction of the terms of a resolution passed by the board of the Joint Venture.
 
Investment in Real Estate and Depreciation
 
Investment in real estate is carried at cost. The Joint Venture reviews its properties on an annual basis for impairment. To determine if an impairment may exist, the Joint Venture reviews its properties and identifies those that have had either an event of change or event of circumstances warranting further assessment of recoverability (such as a decrease in occupancy). If further assessment of recoverability is needed, the Joint Venture estimates the future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the property and its eventual disposition, on an individual property basis. If the sum of the expected future net cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the property on an individual property basis, the Joint Venture will recognize an impairment loss based upon the estimated fair value of such property. For properties management considers held for sale, the Joint Venture ceases depreciating the properties and values the properties at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, less costs to dispose. If circumstances arise that were previously considered unlikely and, as a result, the Joint Venture decides not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, the Joint Venture will reclassify such property as held and used. Such property is measured at the lower of its carrying amount (adjusted for any depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used) or fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. The Joint Venture determines fair value of properties that are held for use by discounting the future expected cash flows of the properties. To calculate the fair value of properties held for sale, the Joint Venture deducts from the contract price of the property the estimated costs to close the sale. The Joint Venture classifies properties as held for sale when the board of the Joint Venture approves the sale of the property.
 
Costs such as interest, real estate taxes and other directly related costs incurred during construction periods begin to be capitalized to the development projects from the point the Joint Venture is undergoing necessary activities to get the development ready for its intended use and ceases when the development projects are substantially completed and held available for occupancy. Upon substantial completion, the Joint Venture reclassifies construction in progress to building, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method based on the following useful lives:
 
     
    Years
 
Buildings and Improvements
  10 to 45
Land Improvements
  3 to 15
 
Construction expenditures for tenant improvements, leasehold improvements and leasing commissions are capitalized and amortized over the terms of each specific lease. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for improvements are capitalized.
 
The Joint Venture accounts for all acquisitions in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141, “Business Combinations”. Upon acquisition of a property, the Joint Venture allocates the purchase price of the property based upon the fair value of the assets acquired, which generally consist of land, buildings, tenant improvements, leasing

commissions and intangible assets including in-place leases, tenant relationships, above market and below market leases. The Joint Venture allocates the purchase price to the fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property by valuing the property as if it were vacant. Acquired above and below market leases are valued based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rates and the in-place rates over the remaining lease term and are amortized over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases as an adjustment to rental income on the Joint Venture’s consolidated statement of operations.
 
The purchase price is further allocated to in-place lease and tenant relationship values based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Joint Venture’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. The value of in-place lease intangible assets are amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining lease term of the respective lease. The value allocated to tenant relationship is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the expected term of the relationship, which includes an estimate of the probability of lease renewal and its estimated term. If a tenant terminates its lease before maturity, the unamortized portion of the tenant improvements, leasing commissions, above and below market leases, in-place lease and the tenant relationship value is immediately expensed.

Amortization expense related to in-place leases and tenant relationships of deferred leasing intangibles was $1,878, $4,905, and $1,807, for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and for the period from March 18, 2005 through December 31, 2005, respectively. Rental revenues decreased by $299, $174, and $197 related to amortization of above/(below) market leases for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and for the period from March 18, 2005 through December 31, 2005, respectively.

Deferred Financing Costs
 
Deferred financing costs include fees and costs incurred to obtain long-term financing. These fees and costs are being amortized over the terms of the respective loans. Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $1,113 and $797, respectively. Unamortized deferred financing costs are immediately expensed when debt is retired before the maturity date.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Rental income is recognized on a straight-line method under which contractual rent increases are recognized evenly over the lease term. Tenant recovery income includes payments from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses and is recognized as revenue in the same period the related expenses are incurred by the Joint Venture.
 
Revenue is recognized on payments received from tenants for early lease terminations after the Joint Venture determines that all the necessary criteria have been met in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, “Accounting for Leases.”
 
The Joint Venture provides an allowance for doubtful accounts against the portion of tenant accounts receivable which is estimated to be uncollectible. Accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $33 and $169 as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
 
Gain on Sale of Real Estate
 
Gain on sale of real estate is recognized using the full accrual method, when appropriate. Gains relating to transactions which do not meet the full accrual method of accounting are deferred and recognized when the full accrual method of accounting criteria are met or by using the installment or deposit methods of profit recognition, as appropriate in the circumstances. As the assets are sold, their costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts with resulting gains or losses reflected in net income or loss. Estimated future costs to be incurred by the Joint Venture after completion of each sale are included in the determination of the gains on sales.

Income Taxes
 
In accordance with limited liability company taxation, each of the members is responsible for reporting their share of taxable income or loss. Accordingly, no provision has been made in the consolidated financial statements for federal income taxes. Certain subsidiaries are subject to state and franchise taxes. The provision for state income and franchise taxes has been allocated to General and Administrative expense and Income from Discontinued Operations in the consolidated statements of operations and has not been separately stated.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments whether or not such instruments are recognizable in the balance sheet. The Joint Venture’s financial instruments include net tenant accounts receivable, accounts payable, other accrued expenses, related party notes and unsecured lines of credit.
 
The fair values of the net tenant accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued expenses were not materially different from their carrying or contract values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. See Note 3 for the fair values of the unsecured lines of credit and related party notes.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets” (“FAS 144”) addresses financial accounting and reporting for the disposal of long lived assets. FAS 144 requires that the results of operations and gains or losses on the sale of property be presented in discontinued operations if both of the following criteria are met: (a) the operations and cash flows of the property have been (or will be) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Joint Venture as a result of the disposal transaction and (b) the Joint Venture will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the property after the disposal transaction. FAS 144 also requires prior period results of operations for these properties to be reclassified and presented in discontinued operations in prior period consolidated statements of operations.
