ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

Background and General

     Prime Group Realty Trust is a self-administered  and self-managed  Maryland
business  trust that owns and operates 24 office  properties  and 30  industrial
properties,  located  primarily in the Chicago  metropolitan  area.  We also own
interests  in  two  office   properties   through  joint  ventures.   We  are  a
fully-integrated  real estate  operating  company,  providing  our own  property
management, leasing, marketing, acquisition, development, redevelopment, finance
and other related functions.

     Our owned and completed  properties  contain  approximately 7.8 million net
rentable square feet of office space and 3.9 million net rentable square feet of
industrial space. The office properties  include  Continental  Towers in Rolling
Meadows,  Illinois, and 180 N. LaSalle Street in Chicago,  Illinois, on which we
own various first and second  mortgage notes and mortgage  conduit  certificates
and, as a result, we have consolidated both properties’ operations. We also
have joint venture  interests  which consist of a 50% common interest in a joint
venture which owns a 944,550  square foot office tower located at 77 West Wacker
Drive, Chicago,  Illinois,  and a 23.1% common interest in a venture that owns a
386,040 square foot office property located in Mesa, Arizona.

     We are currently  constructing  Dearborn Center in downtown Chicago,  a 1.5
million  rentable  square  foot  office  tower that is  scheduled  for  low-rise
occupancy by the end of the third  quarter of 2002 and  completion in the second
quarter  of  2003.  The  building  is  being  constructed  at a  total  cost  of
approximately $365.0 million. We own approximately 97% of the joint venture that
owns and is  developing  this project and we  consolidate  our ownership of this
project.  We also own approximately 202.1 acres of land, of which 60.4 acres are
under  development,  and have  rights to  acquire  approximately  31.6  acres of
developable   land.   We  believe  that  this  land  could  be  developed   with
approximately   1.2  million   square  feet  of  additional   office  space  and
approximately  3.8 million square feet of additional  industrial  space. We also
own a 10% common interest in a development joint venture which has developed 0.1
million square feet of office space in suburban Chicago.

     We were formed on July 21, 1997 as a Maryland real estate  investment trust
and, on November 17, 1997  completed the initial  public  offering of our common
shares.  Our executive offices are located at 77 West Wacker Drive,  Suite 3900,
Chicago, Illinois 60601, and our telephone number is (312) 917-1300.

     We are the  general  partner  of,  and  currently  hold 58.7% of the common
interests  in, Prime Group Realty,  L.P., a Delaware  limited  partnership  (the
“Operating Partnership”). We conduct substantially all of our business
through  the  Operating  Partnership,  except  for  certain  leasing,  corporate
advisory,  construction,  architectural  and  third  party  property  management
services,  which are  conducted  through  Prime Group Realty  Services,  Inc., a
Maryland  corporation,  and its  affiliates  (collectively,  the  “Services
Company”),   which  became  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  the  Operating
Partnership as of January 1, 2001.
Tax Status

     We have  elected to be taxed as a real  estate  investment  trust  ("REIT")
under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”).  As a REIT, we will not be subject to federal income tax
at the corporate level on income we distribute to our shareholders as long as we
distribute 90% of our taxable income (excluding any net capital gain) each year.
Since our  inception,  we believe that we have  complied  with the tax rules and
regulations to maintain our REIT status.  If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any
taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable
alternative  minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. Even
if we qualify as a REIT,  we are subject to certain state and local taxes on our
income and property.

Business Strategies

     Our primary  business is to  continue  to  operate,  lease,  and manage our
properties  in an efficient  manner to maximize the value of our  portfolio,  to
complete the construction  and lease-up of our major  development  projects,  to
address our near term and long-term liquidity needs, and to complete a strategic
transaction which is beneficial to our shareholders.

     Ongoing  Operations.  Our business  strategy is to focus on the  operation,
development  and management of our existing  office and  industrial  real estate
located primarily in the Chicago metropolitan area.

     We continue to strive to enhance our property  level net  operating  income
and cash flow by:
o    engaging  in  pro-active  leasing  and  marketing  programs  and  effective
     property management;
o    managing  operating  expenses  through  the  use  of  in-house   management
     expertise;
o    maintaining and developing  long-term  relationships  with a diverse tenant
     group;
o    attracting  and retaining  motivated  employees by providing  financial and
     other incentives, and;
o    emphasizing  value-added capital improvements to enhance property level net
     operating  income,  as well as our  properties'  competitive  advantages in
     their submarkets.

     Liquidity  and  Capital  Requirements.  Since  inception,  we have  met our
operating and capital  needs,  have paid a quarterly  dividend on our Series A -
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares (“Series A preferred  shares”)
and Series B Cumulative  Redeemable  Preferred Shares  (“Series B preferred
shares”)  preferred  shares on a current  basis,  and have paid a quarterly
distribution  on our  common  shares and units in an amount of $.3375 per common
share/unit.  Our Board decided,  however, to not pay distributions on our common
shares/units for the fourth quarter of 2001 for the following reasons:

o    Mandatory  Redemption  of Series A  Preferred.  The  holder of our Series A
     preferred shares,  Security Capital Preferred Growth  Incorporated  ("SCP")
     has the  contractual  right at any time after January 15, 2002 and prior to
     January  15,  2004,  to require  us to redeem  any or all of our  2,000,000
     shares of Series A preferred  shares for $20.00 per share, or $40.0 million
     in aggregate,  plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.  In consideration for
     SCP not exercising  its redemption  right at such time (which right SCP may
     exercise at any time), we have agreed in a letter agreement, dated February
     22, 2002, to pay to SCP, in addition to (i) accrued and unpaid dividends at
     a rate of 7.5% per annum on the Series A preferred shares, and (ii) 100% of
     the liquidation  preference on the Series A preferred shares (collectively,
     the "Base Amount"),  a deferral payment initially accrued at 3.5% per annum
     (this  rate,  subject to  reduction  or  increase as  described  below,  as
     applicable,  is  referred  to as the  "Deferred  Rate") on the Base  Amount
     calculated  from  February 8, 2002,  up to and  including  the date that we
     receive a notice that SCP elects to exercise  its  redemption  right on the
     basis of the actual number of days elapsed and  compounded as of each March
     31, June 30,  September 30 and December 31, beginning  March 31, 2002  (the
     "Deferred  Payment  Amount").  The  Deferred  Payment  Amount will cease to
     accrue and be  compounded  on any Series A  preferred  shares SCP elects to
     require us to redeem after the date we receive a notice of  redemption  for
     the relevant  shares,  regardless of the date the Series A preferred shares
     are actually  redeemed.  The Deferred  Payment Amount will be reduced by an
     amount equal to one-third (1/3) of the Deferred  Payment Amount in the case
     of Base Amounts  actually paid to the Investor before April 8, 2002. On May
     8,  2002,  the  Deferred  Rate will  increase  by 50 basis  points and will
     further increase  automatically at the end of each succeeding 90-day period
     by an  additional  increment  of 50 basis  points (but in no event will the
     Deferred Rate exceed 5.25%). SCP has indicated to us that they may elect to
     exercise  their  redemption  right in the near future  unless a  definitive
     agreement  relating to a  redemption  or exchange of the Series A preferred
     shares is reached by the parties. The parties are currently in negotiations
     regarding  such an agreement.  There can be no assurance  that SCP will not
     exercise  its right to cause us to redeem the Series A preferred  shares at
     any time.

o    Capital Requirements at the Property Level. Our anticipated cash flows from
     operations in 2002 will not be sufficient to fund our anticipated operating
     and capital needs, the payment of preferred  dividends,  and the payment of
     quarterly  distributions on our common  shares/units at the historical rate
     of $.3375 per share . In 2002,  we  anticipate  the funding of  significant
     capital  for our  suburban  office  portfolio  to  retenant  space that has
     recently  vacated  or is  anticipated  to be vacated  during  the year.  In
     addition,  as our Dearborn Center  development  nears  completion,  we have
     funded, and anticipate  funding,  certain costs and expenses related to the
     project  that are not  being  funded  from any  project  financing  source,
     including 50% of the current pay requirement on the mezzanine financing and
     the funding of a potential  sublease  obligation in connection  with one of
     the anchor tenant leases (see "Recent Events" below).

     The terms of our Series B preferred shares prevent us from paying dividends
to our Series A preferred  shareholder unless we pay all current and accumulated
dividends  on the  Series  B  preferred  shares.  The  holders  of our  Series A
preferred shares have the right to elect one additional  member to our Board (or
two  additional  members if our Board  consists  of more than 10 members) if two
consecutive  quarterly  distributions  (i) on the Series A preferred  shares, or
(ii) on our common  shares in the amount of at least  $0.3375  per share are not
made.  The term of any Trustee  elected by the Series A  preferred  shareholders
will expire,  as  applicable,  whenever all arrears in dividends on the Series A
preferred shares have been paid and current dividends declared and set apart for
payment,  or when the Trust has paid a dividend  on our  common  shares at least
equal to  $0.3375  for two  consecutive  quarters.  The  holders of our Series B
preferred  shares  would have the right to elect two  additional  members to our
Board if six  consecutive  quarterly  distributions  on the  Series B  preferred
shares are not made. The term of any Trustees  elected by the Series B preferred
shareholders  will  expire  whenever  all arrears in  dividends  on the Series B
preferred shares have been paid and current dividends declared and set apart for
payment.

     Any future distributions on our preferred and common shares will be made at
the discretion of our Board. These  distributions will depend on the actual cash
available for distribution,  our financial condition, capital requirements,  the
completion of certain proposed capital events,  including  certain  refinancings
and asset sales, the annual distribution  requirements under the REIT provisions
of the Code, and such other factors as our Board deems relevant.  We can give no
assurance  that we will be able to complete the foregoing  capital events or, if
they are  completed,  whether they will be on terms that are favorable to us. We
also can give no assurances  that if these capital events are completed on terms
favorable  to us or  otherwise,  distributions  on our common  shares and common
units will be resumed  either for the first  quarter of 2002 or  thereafter,  or
that we will be able to pay dividends on our preferred shares.

     We are currently  contemplating  asset sales (see “Review of Strategic
Alternatives”) and the issuance of additional debt, preferred shares and/or
common shares.  Given our current level of debt,  availability of collateral and
our current financing arrangements, we may not be able to obtain additional debt
at  interest  rates  which are below the rates of return on our  properties.  In
addition,  any equity  capital we might  raise may be  dilutive  to our  current
common  shareholders.  There can be no assurance that we will  consummate  debt,
equity or asset sales  transactions  which would  yield  proceeds of  sufficient
nature and in a timeframe  necessary to fund our projected operating and capital
needs on a current basis.

     Review of Strategic Alternatives. In August 2000, our Board announced their
decision  to engage a team of  financial  advisors  to  assist  us in  reviewing
various strategic alternatives to maximize the value to our shareholders.  Since
then, we received several expressions of interest from third parties,  including
interest in pursuing  portfolio asset sales, as well as joint venture and merger
possibilities.  On August 30,  2001,  we entered  into a Support and  Standstill
Agreement with Cadim,  inc.  ("Cadim"),  an affiliate of CDP Capital  [Caisse de
depot et placement  du Quebec],  and The Prime Group,  Inc.  ("PGI"),  to, among
other  things,  support  the  acquisition  by  Cadim  and  PGI  of  100%  of our
outstanding  common  shares  and  100% of the  outstanding  common  units of our
Operating  Partnership  for  $14.50 per  common  share and unit,  other than the
shares  and  units  owned by PGI and its  affiliates.  PGI is a  privately  held
company controlled by Michael W. Reschke, the Chairman of our Board. The Support
and  Standstill  Agreement  required all of the parties to use  reasonable  best
efforts to  negotiate  in good faith and  execute  definitive  documentation  on
reasonable  and  customary  terms subject to Cadim's  satisfaction  with its due
diligence  investigation  within  thirty  days.  On September  14, 2001,  at the
request of Cadim,  we granted  Cadim an  extension  of  thirty-day  period until
October 12, 2001.  On or about  October 11, 2001, we were informed by Cadim that
they no longer  desired to  proceed  with the  acquisition  at $14.50 per common
share and unit,  and  although we continued  negotiations  with Cadim after this
date, all discussions relating to the proposed transaction  ultimately ceased in
late October 2001.

     Since October  2001,  we have resumed our efforts in exploring  alternative
strategic transactions. Notwithstanding the substantial and continuing effort he
thrity  of  management  and our  financial  advisors,  we have not  successfully
completed a strategic  transaction  which we believe is in the best interests of
our shareholders.  However, we continue to engage in contract  negotiations with
third parties to sell certain properties in our portfolio.  If we enter into any
definitive  contracts  as a result of these  negotiations,  they are expected to
provide  the buyers  with due  diligence  periods  before  they  become  binding
contracts.  In addition,  significant  modifications  to any such sales contract
could be made during the due diligence period. There can be no assurance that we
will consummate any sale  transactions  or that senior  management and our Board
would  find  any  proposed  modifications  arising  out  of a  buyer’s  due
diligence investigation acceptable.

     Net proceeds from any asset sale transaction are anticipated to be utilized
to repay debt,  fund  ongoing  capital  improvement  needs  and/or  repurchase a
portion or all of our Series A preferred  shares. A portion of any proceeds also
may be used for general and corporate  operating  purposes,  to pay dividends on
our common or  preferred  shares and to  consummate  tax-deferred  exchanges  to
minimize any tax indemnity  exposure to us as a result of the taxable  income to
certain  parties from the sale of  properties,  which are covered under existing
tax  indemnification  agreements  that  we  entered  into  in  November  1997 in
connection with our formation and initial public offering.

     Development  Activity.  We commenced  construction  of our Dearborn  Center
development,  located in downtown Chicago, in April 2000. This state-of-the-art,
technically-advanced Class A office tower will contain approximately 1.5 million
rentable  square feet. It is expected to be available for low-rise  occupancy by
the end of the third  quarter  of 2002 and fully  completed  during  the  second
quarter of 2003.

     Based on ongoing  marketing  activities and  discussions  with  prospective
tenants,  we expect that over the next several  years there will be  significant
demand  from  several  large  tenants  that are unable to find  large  blocks of
contiguous  Class A office  space in downtown  Chicago.  This demand may lead to
office development opportunities.  These opportunities will be somewhat tempered
in  the  near  term  by  current  economic  conditions  and  the  number  of new
developments  underway.  We believe that our significant  land holdings and land
option rights will provide us with a distinct  advantage in competing for future
development  opportunities as they arise,  especially in downtown Chicago. We do
not,  however,  anticipate  undertaking any new speculative  office  development
activity in the near  future.  If we do so, any new  development  activity  will
likely  involve  joint  ventures  with  other  entities  which  would  provide a
significant  portion of the required equity capital.  Our Services  Company also
may perform  build to suit  development  for sale which we  anticipate  would be
funded by the purchaser.

     Acquisition  Activity.  Given the  scope of our  projects  currently  under
development, general economic conditions and our capital availability, we do not
anticipate any significant  property  acquisitions during the next year. Certain
tax-deferred  exchanges,  however,  may be desirable in connection with property
sales in order to eliminate or minimize any payments required under existing tax
indemnification agreements.

     Financing  Policy.  In December 1998, our Board adopted a financing policy,
which currently has the following targets: (i) a minimum interest coverage ratio
of 2.25,  (ii) a minimum fixed coverage  charge ratio of 1.90,  (iii) a ratio of
debt-to-net  asset  value of no more than 50%,  and (iv)  unencumbered  cash and
credit  availability of at least $40.0 million, of which $15.0 million should be
cash on hand.  The  foregoing  ratios and  measures are  calculated  pursuant to
detailed definitions set by our Board, and, in some instances, are adjusted over
time pursuant to a schedule set by our Board.  The above targets do not bind the
Board and do not mean that we will  operate  within each of these  ratios at all
times.  Our Board has approved in the past,  and has the authority to approve in
the future,  transactions and other actions which will cause non-compliance with
this policy.

     At present,  and as a result of a combination of factors and circumstances,
we are not in  compliance  with any of the above  targets and do not  anticipate
being in compliance during 2002. As a result, both our investment  committee and
our Board must approve all financing and  acquisition or disposition  activities
until the targets are met. Our Board may alter our financing  policy without the
consent of our shareholders,  and our organizational  documents do not limit the
amount or type of indebtedness that we may incur.

     We intend to use one or more  sources of capital  for  current  development
activities as well as the funding of property level capital needs. If available,
these capital sources may include  undistributed  cash flow,  property  specific
non-recourse  and/or  recourse  debt,  proceeds  from the issuance of long-term,
tax-exempt  bonds and other debt or equity  securities,  bank and  institutional
borrowings or proceeds from the sale of assets or joint ventures.

and industrial properties and parcels of land:

(2)  The proceeds of this sale were deposited into a tax deferred exchange trust
     and used to acquire 200 South Mitchell Court.
(3)  The  proceeds of this sale were  initially  deposited  into a tax  deferred
     exchange  trust.  In November 2001, we elected not to use these proceeds to
     acquire a replacement property but rather elected to use these proceeds for
     general  corporate  purposes.  A portion of the gain on this  property  was
     covered by tax  indemnity  agreements  with two  partners in our  Operating
     Partnership.  As a result,  we are liable to the partners for approximately
     $1.2 million of tax indemnity payments under these agreements.

     In January  2001,  we received  $290.0  million in  construction  financing
commitments,  consisting of a $65.0 million  mezzanine  facility  (with draws of
$57.2 million being funded in 2001) and a first mortgage construction loan (with
draws of $48.4  million  being funded in 2001)  ranging  from $220.0  million to
$230.0  million  (with a maximum loan amount of $225.0  million if the mezzanine
facility is fully funded) for our Dearborn Center office development in downtown
Chicago.  We  anticipate  low-rise  occupancy by the end of the third quarter of
2002 and completing the project during the second quarter of 2003. The mezzanine
facility bears  interest at an initial pay rate of 12% (up to 50% of which,  but
not more  than  $10.0  million,  of which  $2.2  million  has been  funded as of
December 31, 2001, may be funded from the mezzanine facility) with an additional
accrual  rate  ranging  from  9.5%  to  13%,   dependent  upon  certain  leasing
thresholds.  The facility matures in January 2004, and we have a right to extend
the  maturity  date  for  one  year,  subject  to the  satisfaction  of  certain
conditions.  The  construction  loan bears  interest  ranging from LIBOR plus an
amount from 2.25% up to 2.65%, dependent upon the achievement of certain leasing
thresholds,  and  matures  in  January  2004.  We have the right to  extend  the
maturity date for one year subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. We
have  guaranteed  $60.0  million of the  construction  loan  amount.  Both loans
contain a liquidity  covenant  requiring  us to maintain a minimum  unrestricted
cash balance of $20.0 million at the end of each fiscal  quarter  beginning with
the end of the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2000. At December 31, 2001, our
unrestricted  cash balances were less than $20.0  million.  We obtained  waivers
from  the  respective  lenders  of  this  covenant  at  December  31,  2001.  In
consideration  for the waiver from the lenders,  we are required to deposit $2.0
million into a cash  collateral  account over a four-month  period,  with a $0.5
million initial deposit made at the time the waiver was given, and to pledge, as
additional  collateral under the loans, the tax increment  financing  assistance
that we will receive from the City of Chicago  with  respect to Dearborn  Center.
The waiver  covers the  quarters  ended  December  31, 2001 and March 31,  2002.
Unless we are  successful  in  executing  a capital  transaction  sufficient  to
address our operating and financing  needs,  including  this  covenant,  we will
require  additional waivers in the future.  Additionally,  the lenders agreed to
permanently reduce the $20.0 million unrestricted cash balance covenant to $17.5
million.

     In February  2001, we executed a new lease with Citadel  Investment  Group,
L.L.P. for  approximately  206,000  rentable square feet in Dearborn Center.  As
part of the lease  transaction,  we  agreed  to  reimburse  the  tenant  for its
financial  obligations,  consisting  of base  rent  and the pro  rata  share  of
operating expenses and real estate taxes, under the tenant’s 161,000 square
foot lease for future  occupancy  at One North  Wacker  Drive,  a Class A office
building recently  constructed in downtown Chicago,  and owned by a third party.
The assumed lease is for a period of ten years and six months,  commences  March
1, 2002,  and has an estimated  total gross rental  obligation of  approximately
$82.0  million over the  126-month  term.  We intend to mitigate  our  financial
obligations  by  subleasing  this  space.  The  owners of One North  Wacker  are
obligated to provide us with a $47.50 per square foot cash  allowance for tenant
improvements.  We have recorded  approximately  $3.8 million in our December 31,
2001 financial statements,  representing our estimate of the net loss related to
this obligation.

     As a  condition  to  granting  their  consent to the  206,000  square  foot
Dearborn Center lease discussed  above, the project lenders required (a) that we
deposit,  over time, an additional $6.8 million in escrow with the lenders to be
used to pay for  certain  costs that could be incurred  in  connection  with our
subleasing of the tenant’s  space under its lease at One North Wacker Drive
(as of December 31, 2001, $3.8 million was deposited) and (b) $2.0 million of an
escrow already  established  with the lenders be used to pay for certain leasing
commissions and tenant  improvement costs related to the tenant’s  space at
Dearborn Center.

     On August 22, 2001,  we entered into an interest rate cap agreement for the
period from January 22, 2002 through  January 5, 2004.  The interest  rate under
the terms of the agreement is capped at the LIBOR index rate of 4.25% increasing
to 7.4%  over the term of the cap  agreement.  The  notional  amount  of the cap
begins at $81.0  million and  increases  over the term of the cap agreement to a
maximum of $230.0 million,  based on increases  anticipated in the  construction
loan during the expected construction period of the property. 

     In March 2001, we entered into an agreement to amend a loan collateralized,
in part,  by a pledge  of the  first  mortgage  loan  that we held and  which is
secured by the property known as 180 North LaSalle Street in Chicago,  Illinois.
The original commitment under the loan was $64.0 million, of which $52.0 million
had been disbursed.  We have entered into an interest rate cap agreement for the
full term of the loan at a LIBOR  index  rate of  7.25%.  Under the terms of the
amendment,  the  maximum  loan  amount  was  reduced  to $60.0  million  and the
remaining $8.0 million of borrowing  availability  was funded.  Restricted  cash
escrows at  December  31, 2001  include  $2.5  million  related to this loan for
future capital expenditures,  tenant improvements and lease commissions. As part
of the  agreement,  we  agreed to allow the  lender  to  securitize  the loan by
utilizing  a REMIC,  if  desirable.  The REMIC  closed on October  30,  2001 and
matures on January 15, 2004. The lender has  transferred the first mortgage loan
to the  REMIC.  The  principal  amount  of the REMIC is  $113.7  million  and is
comprised  of  three  classes  of  certificate   holders.   Class  “A”
certificates represent the original first mortgage holder owning a $60.0 million
priority  interest,  Class  “B”  certificates  are  owned  by  us  and
represent a $53.7 million interest subordinate to the Class A certificates,  and
the Class  “R”  certificates  represent any residual amounts due to us
upon any sale of the property  should net proceeds  exceed $113.7  million.  The
interest rate on the Class “A” certificate is LIBOR plus 3.75% and the
interest note on the Class “B”  certificate is equal to the difference
between  (i) 16.22%  and (ii) the  product of LIBOR  multiplied  by 1.1179.  Our
Services  Company acts as the loan servicer for the REMIC and we account for our
ownership interest of this property on a consolidated basis.

     In March 2001, we amended the $20.0 million mezzanine loan secured by three
of our assets and a $9.0 million letter of credit  facility with the same lender
to, among other  things,  increase the interest rate from LIBOR plus 6% to LIBOR
plus 7% and we pledged additional  collateral for this loan in consideration for
receiving a waiver of a certain  loan  covenant we did not meet in 2000.  We are
also  required  to limit  the  amount of  distributions  that can be paid to our
common stockholders/unitholders to a maximum of 90% of funds from operations (as
defined) for each  calendar  year.  At December  31, 2001,  we did not meet this
requirement  with  respect to calendar  year 2001.  In March  2002,  we obtained
amendments  to both  the loan and the  letter  of  credit  facility.  Under  the
amendments,  we obtained a waiver of the distribution covenant for calendar year
2001, and were required, among other things, to increase a $3.5 million guaranty
related to a $12.5  million  mezzanine  facility on our 33 West Monroe  property
with the same lender to a full guaranty of the mezzanine loan.

     In May 2001, we amended the loan  collateralized  by the property  known as
Enterprise  Drive I located in Westchester,  Illinois.  The date by which we had
the right to convert  this loan from a variable  rate loan to a long-term  fixed
rate loan with a maturity date of May 31, 2005, was extended one year to May 17,
2002, while the interest rate increased from LIBOR plus 2.3% to LIBOR plus 2.4%.
The monthly principal payments also increased  slightly.  We have guaranteed 25%
of this loan.

     In July 2001, we amended the $7.4 million loan on 1990-2060 Algonquin Road,
Schaumburg, Illinois, to extend, for and additional 12 months, the period during
which we had the option to convert the loan from a floating rate loan to a fixed
rate loan, and to slightly  increase the required monthly principal and interest
payments.

     Primestone Investment Partners L.P. (“Primestone”) owns 7,944,893
limited partner common units (the “Primestone Units”) of our Operating
Partnership  and was formed in connection  with our initial public offering as a
joint venture  between an affiliate of PGI and an affiliate of  Blackstone  Real
Estate Advisors, L.P. (“Blackstone”).  PGI is a privately held company
controlled by Mr. Reschke. During October 2000, Primestone extended the maturity
of a $40.0  million  senior  secured  loan (the  “Senior  Loan”)  from
affiliates of Prudential Securities Incorporated (the “Senior Lender”)
and obtained a $62.0 million  secured  subordinate  loan (the  “Subordinate
Loan”)  from  Vornado PS,  L.L.C.  an  affiliate  of Vornado  Realty  Trust
(“Subordinate  Lender”)  and used the proceeds of the Subordinate Loan
to purchase  Blackstone’s  40% equity interest in Primestone  pursuant to a
put option held by Blackstone.  As a result of the  transaction,  PGI is now the
100% owner of  Primestone,  making PGI the Operating  Partnership’s  second
largest equity holder,  after us, as a result of its beneficial ownership of the
Primestone  Units.  Primestone  has pledged the  Primestone  Units as collateral
under both loans. The Primestone  Units are by their terms  exchangeable for our
common shares,  on a one-for-one  basis or, at our option,  in cash equal to the
fair market value of a common share at the time of exchange, subject to the 9.9%
common share ownership limitation set forth in our charter.

     As part of the financing for the transaction,  PGI’s lenders requested
certain consents and other agreements from us, including:
(i)  a waiver of the 9.9% common  share  ownership  limitation  set forth in our
     charter  and  certain  Maryland  anti-takeover  statutes  in the  event the
     Subordinate  Lender  obtains  ownership  of the  Primestone  Units  after a
     foreclosure or similar action;

(ii) a right of the  Subordinate  Lender to appoint  its  designee  to our Board
     (which  position is subject to re-election by our  shareholders in the same
     manner as all other Trustees) in the event that (a) our Board concluded, no
     earlier than six months after  closing of the  financing,  that we were not
     likely to execute a strategic  transaction  within twelve (12) months after
     the closing of the financing pursuant to its previously announced review of
     strategic  alternatives,  or  (b)  such  a  strategic  transaction  is  not
     consummated within such twelve (12) month period; and

(iii)the  shortening  of  certain  time  periods of notice  under our  Operating
     Partnership's  partnership  agreement in the event either lender forecloses
     on the  Primestone  Units and elects to exchange  such units for our common
     shares.

     To address the Subordinate Lender’s requests, our independent Trustees
retained an  independent  financial  advisor and  independent  legal  counsel to
advise the independent  Trustees as to the  reasonableness  and fairness of such
requests.  The independent Trustees consented to such requests provided that the
Subordinate  Lender agreed to certain conditions to protect us. These conditions
included a standstill  agreement,  which prohibits the Subordinate Lender or any
of its  affiliates  from owning our common  shares or  partnership  units in our
Operating Partnership, except for the Primestone Units, in the event of a change
of ownership following a successful foreclosure.

     In addition,  Mr. Reschke and Richard S. Curto, our Chief Executive Officer
and one of our Trustees, agreed with the Subordinate Lender that in the event of
a bankruptcy of Primestone,  us, PGI or certain of PGI’s affiliates,  or in
the event the Subordinate Lender becomes the owner of the Primestone Units after
a successful  foreclosure  action, that Mr. Reschke and Curto would tender their
resignations to our Board.

     Cadim,  PGI and we entered into an exclusivity  agreement  dated August 30,
2001  pursuant to which we agreed to  negotiate  exclusively  with Cadim and PGI
concerning  their offer to acquire  for $14.50 per share all of our  outstanding
equity  securities,  other  than our  Series B  preferred  shares and the common
shares  and  units  already  owned by PGI and  certain  of its  affiliates.  The
exclusivity period contained in the exclusivity agreement expired on October 12,
2001,  and although we continued  negotiations  with Cadim after this date,  all
discussions ultimately ceased in late October 2001.

     On November 2, 2001,  the  Subordinate  Lender and its  affiliates  filed a
Schedule 13D with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  (the  “Vornado
Schedule  13D”),  describing,  among other things,  the Senior Loan and the
Subordinate  Loan.  According to the Vornado Schedule 13D,  Primestone failed to
repay the  Subordinate  Loan on its maturity  date of October 25, 2001,  and the
Subordinate  Lender  declared a default as a result of this failure.  On October
31,  2001,  the  Subordinate  Lender  purchased  the Senior Loan from the Senior
Lender and, as a result,  now holds both of the loans.  The Vornado Schedule 13D
further states that  Subordinate  Lender has commenced  foreclosure  against the
Primestone Units securing the Subordinate Loan (the  “Proposed  Foreclosure
Sale”)  and is currently  exploring  all other  available  legal rights and
remedies in order to obtain repayment of the loan. The Vornado Schedule 13D also
stated that the Proposed  Foreclosure  Sale of the Primestone Units was expected
to be conducted  pursuant to the  provisions of the Uniform  Commercial  Code on
November 20, 2001,  and  Subordinate  Lender or any of its affiliates may bid at
the auction.

     Since  the date of the  filing of the  Vornado  Schedule  13D,  Subordinate
Lender,  Cadim,  Primestone  and  their  affiliates  have made  various  updated
disclosures  regarding the status of the Senior Loan, the Subordinate  Loan, the
Primestone  Units  and the  Proposed  Foreclosure  Sale on  amendments  to their
respective  Statements  on Schedule 13D filed with the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission.  The disclosures  concerning these matters described below are based
in part on the information provided in those schedules.

     On November 13, 2001, Mr. Reschke and Mr. Curto  delivered  written notices
to us and our Board.  The  notices  stated that Mr.  Reschke and Mr.  Curto were
rescinding  the  resignation  letters  previously   delivered  by  them  to  the
Subordinate  Lender  to be  held in  escrow  and  gave  notice  to us that  both
individuals no longer intended to resign from their current executive  positions
with us or from our Board.

     On November 19, 2001, the  Subordinate  Lender sued  Primestone in Delaware
state court in connection  with the Proposed  Foreclosure  Sale  seeking,  among
other things:  (i) injunctive  relief barring  Primestone or its affiliates from
filing  litigation to contest the Proposed  Foreclosure  Sale, (ii)  declaratory
relief providing that a default had occurred under both loans, (iii) recovery of
expenses  and  costs,   and  (iv)  specific   performance  of  the   Subordinate
Lender’s right to payment (the “Vornado Lawsuit”).

     On November 19, 2001,  Primestone  filed a voluntary  Chapter 11 bankruptcy
petition in the United  States  Bankruptcy  Court for the  District of Delaware,
which had the initial  effect of  temporarily  staying the Proposed  Foreclosure
Sale and the Vornado  Lawsuit.  On March 18,  2002,  Primestone  filed a Plan of
Reorganization    under   Chapter   11   with   the   Bankruptcy    Court   (the
“Reorganization  Plan”).  The Reorganization  Plan provides,  in part,
that Primestone  plans to repay the Senior Loan and the Subordinate Loan in full
after offsetting the amount of claims due Primestone from the Subordinate Lender
and its affiliates,  based on the final judicial  determination or settlement of
such claims.

     On November 20, 2001, the Subordinate  Lender and certain of its affiliates
filed an amendment to the Vornado Schedule 13D, disclosing,  among other things,
the Subordinate Lender and its affiliate,  Vornado Realty L.P., had entered into
a Participation  Agreement dated November 19, 2001 with Cadim  Acquisition,  LLC
(“Cadim Acquisition”) and Cadim relating to the two loans owned by the
Subordinate Lender.  Under the Participation  Agreement,  Cadim Acquisition paid
Subordinate  Lender  approximately  $50.0  million  for (a) an  undivided  50.0%
participating  interest in the Senior Loan and the Subordinated Loan, subject to
a $4.8 million  preferential  distribution to the Subordinated Lender, and (b) a
contribution to a possible joint effort with Subordinate  Lender with respect to
a possible strategic  transaction  relating to us (although the amendment to the
Vornado Schedule 13D states that as of the date of the  Participation  Agreement
and as of the date of the amendment there is no agreement between the parties as
to any such joint effort).

     On December 10, 2001, PGI and certain of its  affiliates  filed a complaint
against Cadim,  certain of its affiliates and certain other third parties in the
Circuit Court of Cook County (the “Cadim Lawsuit”). alleging, in part,
that Cadim:  (i) defaulted in its  commitments  to fund a five-year term loan to
Primestone  to repay  the  Senior  Loan  and the  Subordinate  Loan,  and to use
“good  faith”  to  finalize a  definitive  merger  agreement  with PGI
relating  to us,  (ii)  tortiously  interfered  with the  contract  between  the
Subordinate  Lender and Primestone and (iii) conspired to acquire control of the
Primestone  Units.  PGI and their  affiliates are seeking  specific  performance
against  Cadim to compel Cadim to fund the term loan to  Primestone,  to proceed
with  the  acquisition  of us at a cash  price of  $14.50  per  share/unit,  the
imposition of a constructive trust over Cadim’s interest in the Senior Loan
and the Subordinate  Loan, and actual and punitive monetary damages of an amount
in excess of $150.0 million.

     On December 18, 2001,  Primestone’s  bankruptcy petition was dismissed
and, as a  consequence,  the automatic stay of the  Foreclosure  Auction and the
Vornado Lawsuit was lifted.  Primestone  subsequently  appealed the dismissal of
the  bankruptcy  petition to the United States  District  Court for the District
Court of Delaware (the “Delaware District Court”) and requested a stay
of the Bankruptcy Court’s dismissal order pending appeal.

     On December 20, 2001, the Cadim Lawsuit was amended to add the  Subordinate
Lender and certain of its  affiliates as defendants  and to add  Primestone as a
plaintiff.  In addition,  the amended  Complaint sought a temporary  restraining
order, preliminary injunction and permanent injunction barring Cadim and Vornado
from foreclosing on the Primestone Units.

     On December 20, 2001, the Subordinate Lender delivered the original, signed
resignation  letters  of Mr.  Reschke  and Mr.  Curto to the  Trust.  Our  Board
consulted with its outside legal counsel, who advised the Board that in light of
the fact that Mr.  Reschke  and Curto  clearly  did not  intend to  resign,  the
resignation letters delivered by the Subordinate Lender did not constitute valid
resignations.  Consistent with this advice of counsel,  the Board took no action
with respect to the resignation letters. 
     On January 28, 2002,  the Delaware  District  Court affirmed the Bankruptcy
Court’s  December 18, 2001, order dismissing  Primestone’s  bankruptcy
petition.  Primestone appealed the District Court’s January 28 order to the
Third  Circuit  Court  of  Appeals,  and  requested  a stay  of  the  Bankruptcy
Court’s dismissal order pending such appeal.

     On January 29, 2002,  Subordinate Lender and an affiliate filed a complaint
against Mr. Reschke in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New
York seeking (i) specific performance of Mr. Reschke’s  agreement to resign
from  all  his  positions  as  trustee,  director  or  officer  with  us and our
affiliates,  (ii) an award of damages to Subordinate  Lender for costs,  losses,
damages  and  expenses  incurred  as a  result  of the  Primestone  filing  of a
bankruptcy  petition  and  its  and  Mr.  Reschke’s   efforts  to  obstruct
Subordinate  Lender’s rights under the Subordinate Loan and the Senior Loan
and (iii) a declaration  of Mr.  Reschke’s  obligations  to pay such costs,
losses,  damages and expenses  that are  incurred in the future.  On February 6,
2002,  Subordinate  Lender and an  affiliate  filed an amended  complaint in the
foregoing  action to add a claim against Mr. Curto for specific  performance  of
Mr. Curto’s agreement to resign from all his positions as trustee, director
or officer with us and our affiliates.

     On  February  13,  2002,  Primestone  filed a  counterclaim  in the Vornado
Lawsuit against the Subordinate  Lender and various of its affiliates  claiming,
in part, that the Subordinate  Lender wrongfully  declared a default,  committed
fraud  and other  wrongful  acts,  tortiously  interfered  with the  contractual
commitments  between  Cadim and PGI,  and  conspired  with Cadim inc. to acquire
control of the Primestone Units through  wrongful means,  including the Proposed
Foreclosure Sale.  Primestone is seeking  injunctive relief, the imposition of a
constructive trust over the Senior Loan and the Subordinate Loan, and actual and
punitive monetary damages of an amount in excess of $150.0 million.  The Vornado
Lawsuit,  other  than  the  Primestone  counterclaim,  has  been  stayed  by the
automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, as discussed below.

     On  February  15,  2002,  the  Third  Circuit  Court  of  Appeals   granted
Primestone’s  request for a stay  pending  appeal,  which has the effect of
staying the Vornado Lawsuit and the Proposed Foreclosure Sale.

     As described  above, in connection with the making of the Subordinate  Loan
to  Primestone,  we made  certain  accommodations  for the  Subordinate  Lender,
including  granting the Subordinate  Lender the right to appoint its designee to
our Board (which  position is subject to re-election by our  shareholders in the
same  manner as all other  Trustees)  in  certain  circumstances.  Although  the
Subordinate  Lender could currently  exercise this right, the Subordinate Lender
has not to date provided us with any notice that it has elected to exercise such
right.

     On  January  2,  2002,  we  replaced  previously  issued  letters of credit
totaling  $48.8 million with letters of credit  totaling $25.2 million issued by
LaSalle  Bank,  N.A. The letters of credit  provide  credit  support for certain
Industrial Development Revenue Bonds (“IDRB’s”).  The IDRB’s
are secured by collateral  consisting of 2,470,933  square feet of manufacturing
facilities located in Chicago,  Illinois and Hammond and East Chicago,  Indiana.
The letters of credit have an annual cost of 2.35% and a term of five years.  As
part  of  this  transaction,  we  purchased  $23.3  million  of the  IDRB’s
utilizing  $23.0  million of funds from  escrows  previously  securing the $48.8
million  letters  of credit and $0.3  million  of cash.  Under the new letter of
credit  facility,  we have guaranteed all of the  borrower’s  reimbursement
obligations.  Additionally,  we pledged the bonds purchased of $23.3 million, as
well as 304,506  square feet of  industrial  office space in Arlington  Heights,
Illinois, as security for our obligations under the guaranty.

     On January 8, 2002, our joint venture partner in the Pine Meadows Corporate
Center development in Libertyville,  Illinois gave written notice, in accordance
with the terms of the joint  venture  agreement,  of its  intent not to fund its
capital contribution necessary to develop a second office building.

     On January 9, 2002,  we extended  the  maturity  date of the $30.0  million
mortgage note payable  secured by 100% of our  ownership  interest in IBM Plaza,
Chicago,  Illinois,  until  February  23,  2003 for a fee of $0.2  million.  The
principal balance as of December 31, 2001 was $29.4 million.

     On January  16,  2002,  due to a number of factors,  including  our capital
resources  and needs,  our Board  decided  not to pay a  dividend  on the common
shares/units for the fourth quarter of 2001.

     On January 16, 2002,  we exercised  our put right and assigned our interest
in a joint venture  which owns a  development  site located at Monroe Street and
Wacker  Drive in  downtown  Chicago,  to our  joint  venture  partner  for $22.9
million.  We used $16.5  million of the cash  proceeds to repay a loan the joint
venture  partner made to us in 2001. We have an option,  until June 28, 2002, to
repurchase  our  interest  in the joint  venture  for $22.9  million  plus a 10%
compounded return. We recorded a $15.1 million provision for asset impairment on
our investment in the joint venture in 2001.

     On February 5, 2002, we sold 19.7 acres of vacant land in Aurora,  Illinois
for $3.4  million.  A portion of the proceeds  from the sale has been  deposited
into a tax-deferred  exchange trust.  Our Services  Company agreed to act as the
developer in connection with the  construction of a 350,000 square foot build to
suit  industrial  building on this property.  In connection  with this sale, our
Services  Company  agreed to acquire a 222,840 square foot  industrial  building
located  in  Aurora,  Illinois  for $10.4  million.  Our  Services  Company  has
contracted  with a third party to acquire this  property  from us for a purchase
price of $10.4 million.  As part of this sale, the Services  Company will master
lease vacant space in the building for two years for total rent of approximately
$0.7 million.

     On February 22, 2002, we amended the securities purchase agreement with SCP
and agreed to pay a deferral payment,  as defined,  of 3.5% of the $40.0 million
aggregate  liquidation value of our outstanding Series A preferred shares.  This
payment  accrues from February 8, 2002 to the date of notice of  redemption  and
compounds  quarterly beginning March 31, 2002. The deferral payment increases by
0.50% every 90 days up to a maximum rate of 5.25%.

     On February 28, 2002, we sold 52.5 acres of vacant land in Aurora, Illinois
for $7.0 million.  Approximately  33 acres of the 52.5 acres were acquired by us
immediately prior to the sale for a purchase price of $2.7 million.

     On  March 7,  2002,  pursuant  to a  contract  entered  into as part of our
initial  public  offering,  we acquired  24.9 acres of land from  affiliates  of
Stephen J.  Nardi,  a member of our Board,  for a total  purchase  price of $3.3
million  paid  in  344,331  common  units  in our  Operating  Partnership.  This
completed our obligation under this contract.

     Under the terms of three mortgage loans payable totaling $81.1 million,  we
are required to maintain $20.0 million in unrestricted  cash balances at the end
of each  fiscal  quarter.  At  December  31,  2001,  we did not have  sufficient
unrestricted cash balances to meet this requirement. During the first quarter of
2002, we obtained a waiver from the lender for the fiscal quarter ended December
31, 2001. We do not expect to meet this  requirement as of March 31, 2002 and we
are  engaged  in  discussions  with the lender to obtain a waiver for the fiscal
quarter ended March 31, 2002.

During 2001, we incurred the following new indebtedness:

(1)  All of the loans are  subject  to  various  financial  and other  operating
     covenants and are  collateralized  by mortgages on the  properties,  unless
     otherwise  indicated.
(2)  The loan commitment  includes a $65.0 million mezzanine facility secured by
     100% of the joint venture's  ownership  interests in Dearborn  Center.  The
     mezzanine  loan bears  interest at an initial pay rate of 12% (up to 50% of
     which,  but no more than $10.0  million,  may be funded from the  mezzanine
     facility)  with  an  additional  accrual  rate  ranging  from  9.5% to 13%,
     dependent upon certain  leasing  thresholds.  We have a right to extend the
     maturity  date  for  one  year  subject  to  the  satisfaction  of  certain
     conditions.  The loan requires us to guarantee  certain  obligations of the
     borrower including the obligation to substantially complete construction of
     the  property  and to  timely  pay  property  operating  expenses  and debt
     service. At the time we obtained the mezzanine facility, we also obtained a
     construction  loan with a total  commitment  ranging from $220.0 million to
     $230.0 million,  depending upon certain leasing  thresholds (with a maximum
     loan amount of $225.0  million if the $65.0 million  mezzanine  facility is
     fully  funded),  which is secured by a first  mortgage on Dearborn  Center.
     Draws of $48.4 million in the aggregate were funded under the  construction
     loan in 2001. The loan bears  interest  ranging from LIBOR plus 2.25% up to
     2.65%, dependent upon certain leasing thresholds. We have a right to extend
     the  maturity  date for one year  subject  to the  satisfaction  of certain
     conditions.  On August 22,  2001,  we  entered  into an  interest  rate cap
     agreement for the period from January 22, 2002 through January 5, 2004. The
     interest rate under the terms of the agreement is capped at the LIBOR index
     rate of 4.25%  increasing to 7.4% over the term of the cap  agreement.  The
     notional  amount of the cap begins at $81.0 million and increases  over the
     term  of the cap  agreement  to a  maximum  of  $230.0  million,  based  on
     increases   anticipated  in  the  construction  loan  during  the  expected
     construction  period of the property.  We have guaranteed  $60.0 million of
     the  construction  loan  amount.  Both loans  contain a liquidity  covenant
     requiring  us to  maintain  a minimum  unrestricted  cash  balance of $20.0
     million (as defined) at the end of every fiscal quarter  beginning with the
     quarter  ended  December  31,  2000.  In  addition,  the maximum  amount of
     distributions  that can be paid to our common  shareholders/unitholders  is
     90% of funds from operations (as defined) for the most recent four (4) full
     fiscal quarters.  At December 31, 2001, our  unrestricted  cash balance was
     less than $20.0  million and we have obtained  waivers from the  respective
     lenders.  In consideration for the waiver from the lenders, we are required
     to deposit $2.0 million into a cash collateral  account over a fourth month
     period, with a $0.5 million initial deposit made at the time the waiver was
     given,  and to pledge,  as additional  collateral  under the loans, the tax
     increment financing assistance that we will receive from the City of Chicago
     with  respect to Dearborn  Center.  The waiver  covers the  quarters  ended
     December 31, 2001 and March 31, 2002.  Additionally,  the lenders agreed to
     permanently reduce the $20.0 million  unrestricted cash balance covenant to
     $17.5  million.
 (3)  Interest is payable monthly, with principal due at maturity.
 (4) This loan was initially obtained and funded on July 12, 2000.
     On March 15, 2001, we borrowed an additional  $8.0 million,  secured by two
     mortgage notes receivable which are collateralized by the property known as
     180 North  LaSalle  Street,  located in  Chicago,  Illinois,  of which $2.7
     million  was   deposited   into  an  escrow   account  for  future   tenant
     improvements.  The total  loan  commitment  of $60.0  million  is now fully
     funded.  As part of the  March  2001  modification,  we agreed to allow the
     lender to securitize  the loan by utilizing a REMIC and allowing the lender
     to  syndicate  portions of the REMIC,  if  desirable.  The REMIC  closed on
     October 30,  2001.  The first  mortgage  loan has been  transferred  to the
     REMIC.  The amount of the REMIC is $113.7 million and is comprised of three
     classes  of  certificate  holders.  Class "A"  certificates  represent  the
     original first mortgage  holder owning a $60.0 million  priority  interest,
     Class  "B"  certificates  are  owned by us and  represent  a $53.7  million
     interest  subordinate  to the  Class  A  certificates,  and the  Class  "R"
     certificates  represent  any  residual  amounts due us upon any sale of the
     property should net proceeds  exceed $113.7  million.  The interest rate on
     the Class "A"  certificate  is LIBOR plus 3.75%,  the interest  rate on the
     Class "B"  certificate  is equal to the  difference  between (i) 16.22% and
     (ii) the product of LIBOR multiplied by 1.1179.
(5)  On January 19, 2001, we entered into a $16.5  million note payable  secured
     by a pledge of our  interest  in a joint  venture  which owns the  property
     known as the Monroe Wacker land located in Chicago, Illinois. This note was
     repaid on January 16, 2002.
(6)  Principal and interest are payable  monthly,  with the remaining  principal
     due at maturity.
(7)  On February 27, 2001, we refinanced the $5.45 million note payable  secured
     by a first mortgage on the property  known as Enterprise  Center II located
     in  Westchester,  Illinois  with the proceeds of a new $6.0  million  first
     mortgage.
(8)  On February 27, 2001, we refinanced a $8.03 million note payable secured by
     a first mortgage on the properties  known as Pine Meadows Center  Buildings
     A, B and C located in  Libertyville,  Illinois  with the  proceeds of a new
     $10.5 million first mortgage. We have guaranteed this loan.
(9)  On March 8, 2001, we  refinanced a $11.1 million note payable  secured by a
     first  mortgage on the  property  known as Pine Meadows  Center  Building D
     located in Libertyville,  Illinois with the proceeds of a new $11.5 million
     first mortgage.
(10) On April 30, 2001, we refinanced a $58.2 million note payable  secured by a
     first  mortgage on the property known as National City Center in Cleveland,
     Ohio with the proceeds of a $67.0  million first  mortgage.  A $1.0 million
     fee is due at maturity.  We have guaranteed  $13.4 million of the principal
     amount of this loan.
(11) On June 29, 2001, we extended for three months the $12.0  million  mortgage
     note payable collateralized by the land we own located in Aurora,  Illinois
     for a fee of $120,000.  On September  30, 2001, we extended the note for an
     additional two months for a fee of $120,000.  On November 30, 2001, we made
     a principal  payment of $4.0  million on the note and extended the maturity
     of $8.0 million until January 15, 2002 for a fee of $80,000. On January 15,
     2002 we extended the $8.0 million loan until February 15, 2002 for a fee of
     $80,000.  On February 5, 2002, we made a principal  payment of $2.2 million
     on the loan  from the  proceeds  of the sale of a  portion  of the  Aurora,
     Illinois land reducing the principal balance  outstanding,  to $5.8 million
     and we pledged as  additional  collateral  under the loan our 36.3 acres of
     vacant land in DeKalb, Illinois. On February 15, 2002, we extended the $5.8
     million loan until March 1, 2002 for a fee of $14,500, plus expenses of the
     lender.  On February 28, 2002, we made a principal  payment of $2.8 million
     on the loan  from the  proceeds  of the sale of a  portion  of the  Aurora,
     Illinois land reducing the principal  balance  outstanding to $3.0 million.
     On March 1, 2002 we  extended  the loan until  March 31,  2002 for a fee of
     $30,000,  plus  expenses of the lender,  and agreed that the interest  rate
     would  increase by 2% on each of March 16,  2002,  March 23, 2002 and March
     30, 2002, if the loan has not been repaid.  We have  guaranteed  this loan.
     The  restrictive  covenants  of the loan  require  that we  receive  lender
     approval  to  incur  any  additional   indebtedness   beyond  the  existing
     indebtedness  as of March 30,  2001,  other than for  properties  currently
     under construction.
(12) On August 14, 2001, we borrowed  $4.2 million under a note payable  secured
     by a first  mortgage on the property known as 200 S. Mitchell Court located
     in Addison, Illinois. We have guaranteed this loan.

Segment Reporting Data

     See Note 15 to our  consolidated  financial  statements for a discussion of
our operating segment data for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999.

Competition

     We compete with many other owners and  developers of office and  industrial
real estate, some of which may have greater financial and marketing resources or
expertise.  In addition, the amount of available space in competitive properties
in any particular  market or submarket in which our properties are located could
have a material  adverse  effect on both our  ability to lease  space and on the
rents charged at our properties.  We believe that we are one of a limited number
of  publicly-traded  real estate companies  primarily focusing on the office and
industrial market in the Chicago metropolitan area.

Services Company

     The  Services  Company was formed in March 1997 under the laws of the State
of  Maryland.  For the year  beginning  January 1, 2001,  the  Services  Company
elected to be treated as a Taxable REIT  Subsidiary (as defined in the Code). As
of January 1, 2001,  the common  stock of the Services  Company was  transferred
from Mr. Reschke and Mr. Curto to the Operating  Partnership in exchange for the
Operating Partnership’s assumption of the notes receivable totaling $50,000
plus  interest  from Mr.  Reschke and Mr.  Curto which they had  provided to the
Services Company as  consideration  for their purchase of their shares of common
stock.  The Operating  Partnership paid the Services Company the full amount due
on the notes  receivable and the Services  Company  redeemed the preferred stock
held by the Operating Partnership.

     The Services  Company  provides  certain  corporate  advisory,  management,
leasing,  tenant improvement  construction,  painting and tenant  representation
services to third parties. The Services Company’s leasing division provides
leasing services for third-party  property owners.  The Services  Company’s
tenant  improvements  division  provides  construction  management  services for
tenant  improvements,  renovations and other  construction  related  services in
connection  with our owned,  acquired,  developed  or managed  properties.  As a
Taxable REIT Subsidiary, the Services Company can provide services to tenants of
our properties,  even if such services are not considered  services  customarily
furnished in connection with the rental of real estate property, without causing
the rental  income from such  properties  to be treated as other than rents from
real property.

Government Regulations

     Environmental  Matters.  Phase I or similar environmental  assessments have
been  performed  by  independent   environmental   consultants  on  all  of  our
properties.  Phase I assessments are intended to discover information regarding,
and to evaluate  the  environmental  condition  of, the  surveyed  property  and
surrounding  properties.  Phase I  assessments  generally  include a  historical
review,  a public  records  review,  an  investigation  of the surveyed site and
surrounding  properties,  and the  preparation and issuance of a written report,
but do not include soil sampling or subsurface investigations.

     We are  aware  of  environmental  contamination  at  certain  of our  older
industrial properties  contributed to us as an equity contribution by PGI at the
time  of our  initial  public  offering.  These  properties  are in  remediation
programs sponsored by the appropriate state environmental  agencies.  PGI agreed
to  retain  liability,   and  indemnify  us,  for  the  costs  of  environmental
remediation  with regard to these  industrial  properties,  which  environmental
consultants  have  estimated  will cost, in the  aggregate,  up to $3.2 million.
Based on such estimates,  certain properties PGI contributed recorded provisions
for environmental remediation costs totaling $3.2 million in 1997 prior to their
contribution. During 1997, PGI initiated lawsuits against a former owner (who is
also a former tenant) of one of the properties and an  environmental  consultant
to cover the cost of the  remedial  action  plans.  On February  20,  1998,  PGI
reached  an  agreement  with  the  former  owner  and  received  a $1.8  million
settlement   payment,   in  addition  to  $0.5  million  previously  paid  as  a
reimbursement  for costs.  In 1998,  PGI sued a then  current  (and now  former)
tenant of one of the properties to recover the cost of certain  remedial  action
plans. During 2000, we incurred $0.1 million of costs related to the remediation
described above and for which we were reimbursed from PGI.

     The above  lawsuits have been pursued by PGI in the names of our affiliates
under an agreement entered into with PGI at our initial public offering.  PGI is
entitled to retain any of the proceeds  from these  lawsuits and PGI is required
to undertake the  environmental  cleanup of the property.  We are relying on the
credit of PGI under the  indemnification  for the cleanup costs and any proceeds
from the lawsuits against the environmental  consultant and former tenant which,
based on the advice of outside legal counsel,  we believe have value  sufficient
to fund the cost of cleanup.

     In  addition,  we are  aware  of  contamination  at 1301 E.  Tower  Road in
Schaumburg, Illinois. The property has been submitted into a remediation program
sponsored by the Illinois Environmental  Protection Agency and almost all of the
necessary remedial actions have been completed. In connection with 1301 E. Tower
Road, the previous owner and other third parties have placed  approximately $0.8
million  in escrow to fund the  clean-up  of the  property.  There is  currently
approximately  $0.5 million  remaining in this escrow.  We anticipate  that this
remaining  escrow will be sufficient to fund the necessary  remedial  action for
this property.

     In  November  2001,  at the  request of the  Department  of the Army of the
United  States of America (the  “DOA”),  we granted the DOA a right of
entry for environmental  assessment and response in connection with our property
known as the  Atrium  at 280  Shuman  Boulevard  in  Naperville,  Illinois  (the
“Atrium”).  The DOA informed us that the property was located north of
a former Nike Missile Base and that the DOA was  investigating  whether  certain
regional  contamination  of the groundwater by  trichloethene  (“TCE”)
emanated  from the base and  whether  the DOA would be  required  to restore the
environmental   integrity  of  the  region   under  the  Defense   Environmental
Restoration  Program for Formerly  Used Defense  Sites.  In December  2001,  the
results  from the  tests of the  groundwater  from the site  indicated  elevated
levels of TCE. It is currently our understanding  based on information  provided
by the DOA and an analysis  prepared by our  environmental  consultants that (i)
the  source of the TCE  contamination  did not  result  from the past or current
activities  on the Atrium  property,  (ii) the TCE  contamination  is a regional
problem  that  is not  confined  to the  Atrium  and  (iii)  the DOA has not yet
identified  the  source  of  the  TCE  in  the  groundwater.  Our  environmental
consultants  have  advised us that the United  States  Environmental  Protection
Agency (the  “EPA”) has issued a Statement of Policy towards owners of
property containing contaminated acquifers.  According to this policy, it is the
EPA’s position that where hazardous substances have come to be located on a
property  solely as a result  of  subsurface  migration  in an  aquifer  from an
offsite source,  the EPA will not take enforcement  actions against the owner of
the property.  The groundwater  underneath this property is relatively deep, and
the property  obtains its potable water supply from the City of  Naperville  and
not from a groundwater  well.  Accordingly,  we do not  anticipate  any material
liability to us because of this TCE contamination.

     We believe  that our other  properties  are in  compliance  in all material
respects  with all federal,  state and local laws,  ordinances  and  regulations
regarding  hazardous  or toxic  substances.  We have not  been  notified  by any
governmental   authority,   and  are  not  otherwise   aware,  of  any  material
noncompliance,  liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic  substances in
connection  with  any  of  our  other  properties.  None  of  our  environmental
assessments of our properties  have revealed any  environmental  liability that,
after giving effect to the contractual  indemnities and escrows described above,
we believe would have a material  adverse  effect on our financial  condition or
results of  operations  taken as a whole,  nor are we aware of any such material
environmental liability. Nonetheless, it is possible that our assessments do not
reveal all  environmental  liabilities or that there are material  environmental
liabilities  of which we are unaware.  Moreover,  there can be no assurance that
(i)  future  laws,  ordinances  or  regulations  will not  impose  any  material
environmental  liability  or (ii) the  current  environmental  condition  of our
properties  will  not be  affected  by  tenants,  by the  condition  of  land or
operations  in  the  vicinity  of  our  properties  (such  as  the  presence  of
underground  storage  tanks) or by third parties  unrelated to us. If compliance
with the  various  laws and  regulations,  now  existing or  hereafter  adopted,
exceeds  our  budgets  for such  items,  our  ability to make  distributions  to
shareholders could further be adversely affected.

     Costs  of   Compliance   with   Americans   with   Disabilities   Act  (the
“ADA”).  Under  the ADA,  all  public  accommodations  and  commercial
facilities are required to meet certain federal  requirements  related to access
and use by  disabled  persons.  These  requirements  became  effective  in 1992.
Compliance with the ADA  requirements  could require removal of access barriers,
and  noncompliance  could  result  in the  imposition  of fines  by the  federal
government  or an award of  damages to private  litigants.  We believe  that our
properties are substantially in compliance with these requirements,  however, we
may incur additional costs to comply with the ADA. Although we believe that such
costs will not have a material  adverse  effect on our  financial  position,  if
required  changes  involve a greater  amount of  expenditures  that we currently
anticipate,  our ability to make  distributions to shareholders could be further
adversely affected.

     Other  Regulations.  Our  properties  are also subject to various  federal,
state and local regulatory  requirements,  such as state and local fire and life
safety  requirements.  Failure to comply with these requirements could result in
the  imposition  of fines by  governmental  authorities  or awards of damages to
private  litigants.  We believe that our  properties  are  currently in material
compliance  with all such  regulatory  requirements.  However,  there  can be no
assurance that these  requirements  will not be changed or that new requirements
will not be imposed  which would  require us to make  significant  unanticipated
expenditures  and could have an adverse effect on our Funds from  Operations and
our ability to make distributions to our shareholders.

Insurance

     We  believe  that our  properties  are  covered by  adequate  comprehensive
liability, rental loss, and all-risk insurance, provided by reputable companies,
with  commercially  reasonable  deductibles,  limits and  policy  specifications
customarily carried for similar properties. There are, however, certain types of
losses which may be either  uninsurable or not economically  insurable,  such as
losses due to floods,  riots or acts of war.  Should an uninsured loss occur, we
could lose both our  invested  capital in, and  anticipated  profits  from,  the
affected property.
Employees

     As of December 31, 2001, we had approximately 239 full-time  employees.  We
believe that our relations with our employees are satisfactory.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

General

     We own 24 office  properties  and 30 industrial  properties.  This includes
Continental  Towers  in  Rolling  Meadows,  Illinois,  on  which we own a second
mortgage note and 180 N. LaSalle Street in Chicago,  Illinois,  on which we hold
the  Class  “B”  and  “R”  REMIC  interests  and the  second
mortgage  note (we have  consolidated  both  properties’  operations).  Our
properties are located primarily in the Chicago  metropolitan area. In addition,
we own a 50% common  interest in a joint venture  which owns the 944,550  square
foot office tower  located at 77 West Wacker  Drive,  in downtown  Chicago and a
23.1% common interest in a venture which owns a 386,040 office property  located
in Mesa,  Arizona.  Our  properties  located in the  Chicago  metropolitan  area
accounted for approximately  90.2% of our rental revenue and 95.5% of our tenant
reimbursements revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001.

     Our management  team has developed or  redeveloped a significant  number of
office  properties,  such as 77 West Wacker Drive, 180 N. LaSalle,  and Dearborn
Center,  all located in downtown Chicago.  In the course of such activities,  we
have acquired  experience  across a broad range of development and redevelopment
projects.  We are currently  constructing Dearborn Center in downtown Chicago, a
Class A office tower containing an aggregate of 1,525,000  rentable square feet.
At a total cost of $365.0 million, the project will open for low-rise tenants in
September  2002,  and will be completed  during the second  quarter of 2003. The
building is 63%  preleased to three anchor  tenants  including  Bank One,  N.A.,
Citadel Investment Group, L.L.P. and Holland &  Knight. As an inducement
to consummate  the Citadel  Investments  lease,  we agreed to reimburse  Citadel
Investments for its financial obligations related to a 161,000 square foot lease
obligation  at a  recently-constructed  office tower located at One North Wacker
Drive in downtown  Chicago.  We intend to mitigate this obligation by subleasing
the space at One North Wacker.  The landlord at One North Wacker is obligated to
provide us with $47.50 per square  foot in a tenant  improvement  allowance.  We
expect a $3.8 million loss on this sublease. Dearborn Center is 97% owned by our
Company and is consolidated into our operations.

     We own  approximately  202.1  acres of land of which  60.4  acres are under
development.  We also  have  rights  to  acquire  approximately  31.6  acres  of
developable  land.  We  believe  that  this  land  could  be  developed  to have
approximately   1.2  million   square  feet  of  additional   office  space  and
approximately  3.8 million square feet of additional  industrial  space. We also
own an equity  interest in a  development  joint venture which has developed 0.1
million square feet of rentable  office space in our Pine Meadows  Business Park
in Libertyville, Illinois.

     Our office  properties are leased to tenants either (i) on a net basis with
tenants  obligated  to pay  their  proportionate  share  of real  estate  taxes,
insurance,  utility and  operating  expenses or (ii) on a gross basis,  with the
landlord responsible for the payment of these expenses up to the amount incurred
during the tenants’  first year of occupancy  (“Base  Year”) or a
negotiated  amount  approximating  the  tenants’  pro  rata  share of these
expenses  (“Expense  Stop”).  The  tenants pay their pro rata share of
increases in expenses  above the Base Year or Expense  Stop.  Most of the leases
for our  industrial  properties  are  written on either  (i) a net  basis,  with
tenants  paying  their  proportionate  share of real  estate  taxes,  insurance,
utility and other  operating  expenses as additional  rent, or (ii) a triple net
lease basis,  with the tenants  paying all of the real estate taxes,  insurance,
utility and other operating expenses for the property.

(1)  We hold a  mortgage  note  receivable  on this  office  property  and  have
     consolidated  the  underlying   property   operations  because  we  receive
     substantially all of the economic benefits of the property's operations.
(2)  We hold the Class "B" and "R" REMIC interests (see footnote 4 under "Recent
     Developments" above) and the second mortgage note receivable on this office
     property and have  consolidated  the underlying  property  operations as we
     receive  substantially  all  of the  economic  benefits  of the  property's
     operations.
(3)  This property complex is comprised of three single-story  buildings and one
     three-story building, but is treated as one office property.
(4)  This  property  complex is  comprised of 1990  Algonquin  Road (a two-story
     office building) and 2000-2060  Algonquin Road (seven  single-story  office
     buildings), but is treated as one office property.
(5)  This property is an office building adjacent to the East Chicago Enterprise
     Center.
(6)   This property is an office building within the Hammond Enterprise Center.
(7)  We own an approximate  97% ownership  interest in a joint venture that owns
     and is developing  this office property and we consolidate our ownership of
     this  property.  After we receive  the return of our equity  capital  and a
     minimum  threshold  return,  our  ownership  interest is reduced in certain
     circumstances  and  the  ownership  interest  of our  minority  partner  is
     increased.
(8)  We own a 50% common  ownership  interest in a joint  venture that owns this
     office  property and account for our  ownership  in the property  using the
     equity method.
(9)  We own a 23.1% common ownership  interest in a joint venture that owns this
     office  property and account for our  ownership  in the property  using the
     equity method.
(10) We own a 10% common  ownership  interest in a joint  venture that owns this
     office  property and account for our  ownership  in the property  using the
     equity  method.  After certain  minimal  return  thresholds,  our ownership
     interest in this  property  increases  up to 50%.  We have  provided a full
     guaranty on the $9.3 million construction loan.
(11) As of December 31, 2001,  we owned a common  ownership  interest in a joint
     venture  that owned this land held for  development  and we  reflected  our
     ownership  using the equity method.  We recorded a $15.1 million  provision
     for asset  impairment  on our  investment  in the joint venture in 2001. On
     January 16, 2002,  we exercised  our put right and assigned our interest in
     the joint venture to our joint venture partner for  consideration  of $22.9
     million.  We used a portion of the  proceeds to repay a $16.5  million loan
     our joint  venture  partner made to us in 2001.  We also received an option
     until June 28, 2002 to  repurchase  our  interest in the joint  venture for
     $22.9 million, plus a 10% compounded return.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     Except  as  described  below,  neither  we nor  any of our  properties  are
presently  subject to any  material  litigation  nor, to our  knowledge,  is any
material  or  other  litigation   threatened  against  us,  other  than  routine
litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which is expected
to be  covered  by  liability  insurance  and all of which  collectively  is not
expected  to  have a  material  adverse  effect  on our  consolidated  financial
statements.

     After our  public  announcement  on August  28,  2001 of the then  proposed
acquisition of us by Cadim inc., an affiliate of CDP Capital [Caisse de depot et
placement du Quebec] and The Prime  Group,  Inc.,  an affiliate of Mr.  Reschke,
five  purported  class action  lawsuits  were filed against us and our trustees,
three in the Circuit  Court for  Baltimore  City,  Maryland,  one in the Circuit
Court for  Montgomery  County,  Maryland  and one in the  Circuit  Court of Cook
County (Chancery Division), Illinois. Also named as defendants in certain of the
lawsuits are PGI, Cadim inc. and CDP Capital.  The purported  plaintiff  classes
consisted of our shareholders. The actions alleged, among other things, that the
potential acquisition, which was subsequently withdrawn by Cadim inc. in October
2001, would  under-compensate  our shareholders for their common shares and that
certain  members  of our Board  breached  their  fiduciary  duties by  allegedly
engaging in a scheme to acquire our  outstanding  common shares at an inadequate
purchase  price.  The plaintiffs in these lawsuits  sought,  among other things,
certification of their classes,  injunctive relief against the completion of the
proposed acquisition and attorneys’  fees and costs.  Following the October
2001 withdrawal of the proposal by Cadim inc., we and the other parties to these
lawsuits initially agreed to halt further proceedings until the possibility of a
similar  transaction is  definitively  foreclosed.  Three of these lawsuits have
been subsequently voluntarily dismissed by the parties to these lawsuits and the
other two lawsuits are in the process of being voluntarily dismissed.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

     No matters  were  submitted to vote of security  holders  during the fourth
quarter of 2001.

                                    PART II

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
                 STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

     Our  common   shares  began   trading  on  the  New  York  Stock   Exchange
(“NYSE”)  on November 12, 1997, under the symbol  “PGE”.  On
March 21, 2002, the reported closing sale price on the NYSE was $9.14, and there
were 15,703,158 common shares outstanding held by approximately 3,500 holders of
record. The following table sets forth the high and low closing sales prices per
common share  reported on the NYSE and the  distributions  we paid for the years
ended December 31, 2001 and 2000:

(1)  All distributions are per common share and common unit.
(2)  No distributions were declared or paid for the 4th quarter of 2001.
(3)  On December 20, 2000,  our Board  declared a dividend of $0.3375 per common
     share and common  unit for the fourth  quarter of 2000 to holders of record
     on December 29, 2000. These dividends were paid January 22, 2001.

     Distributions  on our  common  shares and  common  units are not  permitted
unless all current and any accumulated  distributions  on our Series A preferred
shares,  our Series B preferred  shares and the related  preferred  units in the
operating  partnership have been paid in full or set aside for payment.  We made
quarterly   distributions   to  holders  of  our  common  shares  and  Operating
Partnership  common units through the third quarter of 2001.  Due to a number of
factors,  including a delay in the  completion of certain  capital  transactions
then under negotiation, and in light of our current capital resources and needs,
our Board decided not to pay a  distribution  on the common shares and units for
the  fourth  quarter  of  2001.  See   “Business   Strategies  -  Liquidity
Requirements”.  Any future distributions on our preferred and common shares
of  beneficial  interest  will be made at the  discretion  of our  Board.  These
distributions  will depend on the actual cash  available for  distribution,  our
financial condition,  capital  requirements,  the completion of certain proposed
capital  events,  including  certain  refinancings  and asset sales,  the annual
distribution  requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, and such other
factors as our Board deems  relevant.  We can give no assurance  that we will be
able to complete the foregoing capital events or, if they are completed, whether
they will be on terms that are  favorable to us. We also can give no  assurances
that  if  these  capital  events  are  completed  on  terms  favorable  to us or
otherwise,  distributions  on our common shares and common units will be resumed
either for the first quarter of 2002 or thereafter.  In addition, we can give no
assurances  that we will  continue  to be  able  to  make  distributions  on our
preferred shares of beneficial interest.

     Concurrently  with the  completion  of our  initial  public  offering,  the
Operating  Partnership  issued an aggregate  of  9,994,310  common units to PGI,
Primestone  Investment Partners L.P. (a joint venture of PGI and a third party -
See “Business - Recent Developments”),  other contributors and certain
members of  management  in exchange  for  property  contributions  and cash.  In
addition,  since our initial  public  offering  through  December 31, 2001,  the
Operating Partnership has issued 449,931 limited partner common units as partial
consideration  for its acquisition of the first and second mortgage notes of 180
N. LaSalle Street (See  “Business - Recent  Development”)  and 751,929
limited partner common units as partial consideration for property acquisitions,
in accordance with a contractual arrangement entered into in November 1997, from
affiliates of Stephen J. Nardi,  a member of our Board.  Holders of common units
may exchange,  after the lock-up period that is generally one year from the date
of issuance, if applicable, part or all of the common units for common shares on
a one-for-one basis or, at our option,  cash equal to the fair market value of a
common  share at the time of  exchange.  During  2001,  33,085 of these  limited
partner common units were exchanged for common  shares.  During 2000,  90,460 of
these limited  partner  common units were exchanged for common shares and 45,287
limited partner common units were redeemed and cancelled.

     As of December 31, 2001, and subject to our 9.9% ownership limitation,  all
of the  remaining  10,713,154  outstanding  limited  partner  common  units  are
exchangeable  for common shares or at the option of the Independent  Trustees of
our Board, cash.

     Also  concurrently  with the completion of our initial public offering,  we
issued 2,000,000 of our Series A preferred shares, $0.01 par value per share, in
a private placement to SCP for an aggregate purchase price of $40.0 million. Our
Series A preferred shares are convertible into our common shares.  Since January
15,  2002,  SCP has the right to cause  our  Company  to redeem up to  2,000,000
shares of Series A preferred at a price of $20.00 per share, or $40.0 million in
the aggregate. See “Business Strategies--Liquidity Requirements”.

     On February 22, 2002, we amended the securities purchase agreement with SCP
and agreed to pay a deferral  payment,  as defined,  of 3.5%  calculated  on the
outstanding  Series A preferred  shares.  This payment  accrues from February 8,
2002 to the date of notice of redemption and compounds quarterly beginning March
31, 2002. The deferral payment  increases by 0.50% every 90 days up to a maximum
rate of 5.25%.

     On March 25, 1998,  we issued  2,579,994 of our common  shares in a private
placement to several institutional investors. In addition, during 2001, 2000 and
1999, we granted 72,672, 5,000 and 58,048, respectively, of our common shares to
certain  of  our  officers  and  Board  members.  See  “Business  -  Recent
Developments.”

     The  issuance  of  2,579,994  of our common  shares  and the  common  units
described  above and our  Series A -  Cumulative  Convertible  Preferred  Shares
constituted  private  placements  of  securities  which  were  exempt  from  the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to
Section 4(2) thereof.

     On April 25, 2001, our Operating  Partnership acquired 33,085 of our common
shares  from  one of our  former  employees  for a price of  approximately  $0.5
million,  or $14.45 per share.  The  acquired  shares  have been  pledged to the
lenders  under the Dearborn  Center  mezzanine  loan as  collateral  for certain
obligations under the loan agreement.

     In connection  with the  acquisition of these shares,  the former  employee
agreed to cancel all of his options granted pursuant to our 1997 Share Incentive
Plan and an award  agreement  dated  December 17, 1998 between us and the former
employee in exchange for a payment equal to the net value of the options.

(1)  In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
     issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"),  "Revenue Recognition
     in Financial  Statements."  SAB 101 summarizes  certain of the Commission's
     views in  applying  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  to revenue
     recognition  in financial  statements.  We adopted SAB 101  retroactive  to
     January 1, 2000 and recorded a charge to income of $1,843,  net of minority
     interests of $1,140, representing the cumulative effect of adopting SAB 101
     as of January 1, 2000. The cumulative  effect  represents income recognized
     in 1999 and  relates to the  permanent  property  easements  and to leasing
     activity described above. During 2001 and 2000, respectively, we recognized
     $293 and $487 of other  income (a  portion  of which is  included  in other
     property revenues in the consolidated  statement of operations)  previously
     recorded in 1999.

     On January 1, 2001, we adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards
     ("SFAS")  No.  133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging
     Activities," as amended by SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative
     Instruments  and  Certain  Hedging  Activities."  SFAS No. 133, as amended,
     established accounting and reporting standards for derivative  instruments.
     Specifically  SFAS No. 133 requires an entity to recognize all  derivatives
     as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial  position and
     to measure those  instruments at fair value.  Additionally,  the fair value
     adjustments will affect either shareholders' equity or net income depending
     on whether the  derivative  instrument  qualifies as a hedge for accounting
     purposes and, if so, the nature of the hedging  activity.  Upon adoption of
     SFAS 138 and SFAS 133, we recorded as a cumulative  effect of an accounting
     change a net transition adjustment (unrealized loss) of $539 in net income,
     and a transition  adjustment of $3,227 as an increase in accumulated  other
     comprehensive  loss.  Adoption of the standard resulted in a net transition
     adjustment of $3,766 on the balance sheet  reflected as a $539 reduction in
     deferred costs, a $1,373 reduction in investment in unconsolidated entities
     and a deferred  hedge  liability of $1,854.  In August 2001,  the Financial
     Accounting  Standards  Board issued final  guidance on the  accounting  for
     options  used as hedges  under SFAS No. 133.  This  guidance is pursuant to
     Derivatives  Implementation  Group Issue No. G20 ("G20").  Provided certain
     criteria  are  met,  options  can be  considered  fully  effective  hedging
     vehicles,  with gains and losses due to changes in market value recorded in
     other accumulated  comprehensive  income on the balance sheet. On September
     1, 2001,  we adopted  G20 for its  interest  rate  hedge  instruments.  Any
     subsequent  unrealized  gains or losses due to  changes in market  value of
     options,  such as  interest  rate  caps,  will  be  recorded  in the  other
     accumulated comprehensive income.

(2)  Net  income  available  per  weighted-average  common  share of  beneficial
     interest-basic  equals  net  income  divided  by  15,630,586,   15,408,822,
     15,141,630,  14,862,958  and  12,593,000  common shares for the years ended
     December 31, 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998 and for the period from November 17,
     1997 through  December 31, 1997,  respectively.  Net income  available  per
     weighted-average  share of  beneficial  interest-diluted  equals net income
     divided by 15,630,586, 15,539,337, 15,208,911 and 14,875,035, common shares
     for the year  ended  December  31,  2001,  2000,  1999 and 1998 and for the
     period from November 17, 1997 through December 31, 1997, respectively.  See
     Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

(3)  Industry analysts generally  consider Funds from Operations,  as defined by
     the National  Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts  ("NAREIT"),  an
     alternative  measure of  performance  of an equity REIT.  In October  1999,
     NAREIT  issued a new White Paper  statement  and  redefined  how funds from
     operations is calculated,  effective January 1, 2000. Funds from Operations
     is now defined by NAREIT as net income (loss) determined in accordance with
     GAAP,  excluding  gains (or  losses)  from sales of  depreciable  operating
     property,  plus  depreciation and amortization  (other than amortization of
     deferred  financing  costs and  depreciation of non-real estate assets) and
     after  adjustment  for  unconsolidated  partnerships  and  joint  ventures.
     Non-recurring  items,  other than those  considered  "extraordinary"  under
     GAAP, are no longer  adjustments to funds from operations.  We believe that
     in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our consolidated historical
     operating results,  Funds from Operations should be examined in conjunction
     with net (loss)  income as  presented in the audited  financial  statements
     included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

     We compute Funds from Operations in accordance  with standards  established
     by the Board of Governors  of NAREIT in its October  1999 White  Paper.  In
     addition  to this  presentation,  we also  present  funds  from  operations
     excluding  straight-line  rental  revenue (i.e.,  rental  revenues based on
     contractual  lease  terms),  which we believe  results  in a more  accurate
     presentation of our actual operating activities. Funds from Operations does
     not represent amounts available for management's  discretionary use because
     of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt repayment obligations,  or
     other  commitments and  uncertainties.  Funds from Operations should not be
     considered as an alternative to net (loss) income,  as an indication of our
     performance  or to cash flows as a measure of  liquidity  or the ability to
     pay dividends or make distributions.

(4)  The ratios of earnings  to  combined  fixed  charges  and  preferred  share
     distributions  were computed by dividing earnings by combined fixed charges
     and preferred share  distributions.  For this purpose,  earnings consist of
     income (loss) before  minority  interests,  plus  combined  fixed  charges.
     Combined fixed charges consist of interest  incurred,  amortization of debt
     issuance  costs  and  preferred  share  distributions.  Our  2001  and 2000
     earnings and the  Predecessor's  historical  earnings were  insufficient to
     cover fixed charges by approximately $49,506, $2,850, $29,050 for the years
     ended  December  31,  2001 and 2000,  for the period  from  January 1, 1997
     through November 16, 1997, respectively.

(1)  During the fourth  quarter of 2000, we changed our method of accounting for
     revenue  recognition in accordance with Staff Accounting  Bulletin No. 101,
     "Revenue  Recognition  in  Financial  Statements"  ("SAB  101").  Effective
     January 1, 2000, we recorded a charge to income of $1,843,  net of minority
     interests of $1,140, representing the cumulative effect of adopting SAB 101
     as of January 1, 2000.  During 2001 and 2000,  respectively,  we recognized
     $293 and $487 of other  income (a  portion  of which is  included  in other
     property revenues in our consolidated  statement of operations)  previously
     recorded in 1999.

(2)  For the year ended December 31, 2001, the second quarter extraordinary loss
     previously reported has been restated by $223, net of minority interests of
     $153, to reflect an adjustment we recorded in the fourth quarter to reverse
     the write-off of deferred financing fees incorrectly recorded in the second
     quarter.  The  restatement  did  not  significantly  affect  our  trend  of
     earnings.

(3)  On January 1, 2001,  we adopted SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS 138.  SFAS
     No. 133, as amended,  established  accounting  and reporting  standards for
     derivative  instruments.  Specifically  SFAS No. 133  requires an entity to
     recognize all  derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement
     of  financial  position  and to measure  those  instruments  at fair value.
     Additionally,  the fair value adjustments will affect either  shareholders'
     equity  or net  income  depending  on  whether  the  derivative  instrument
     qualifies as a hedge for accounting  purposes and, if so, the nature of the
     hedging activity.  Upon adoption of SFAS 138 and SFAS 133, we recorded as a
     cumulative  effect  of an  accounting  change a net  transition  adjustment
     (unrealized  loss) of $539 in net income,  and a transition  adjustment  of
     $3,227 as an increase in accumulated other  comprehensive loss. Adoption of
     the  standard  resulted  in a net  transition  adjustment  of $3,766 on the
     balance sheet  reflected as a $539  reduction in deferred  costs,  a $1,373
     reduction in investment  in  unconsolidated  entities and a deferred  hedge
     liability of $1,854.  In August 2001,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards
     Board issued final  guidance on the  accounting  for options used as hedges
     under SFAS No. 133. This guidance is pursuant to Derivatives Implementation
     Group Issue No. G20 ("G20"). Provided certain criteria are met, options can
     be considered fully effective hedging  vehicles,  with gains and losses due
     to changes in market  value  recorded  in other  accumulated  comprehensive
     income on the balance  sheet.  On September 1, 2001, we adopted G20 for its
     interest rate hedge instruments.  Any subsequent unrealized gains or losses
     due to changes in market value of options, such as interest rate caps, will
     be recorded in the other accumulated comprehensive income.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

Overview

     The following  discussion should be read in conjunction with our historical
consolidated  financial  statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere
in this Form 10-K.

     We are a fully-integrated,  self-administered, and self-managed real estate
investment trust (REIT) which owns, manages,  leases,  develops,  and redevelops
office and industrial real estate,  primarily in the Chicago  metropolitan area.
Our  portfolio of completed  properties  as of December 31, 2001  consists of 24
office  properties,  containing an aggregate of 7.8 million net rentable  square
feet and 30  industrial  properties  containing  an aggregate of 3.9 million net
rentable  square  feet.  We also  own a joint  venture  interest  in two  office
properties  containing an aggregate of 1.3 million net rentable  square feet. We
are currently  developing  Dearborn  Center in downtown  Chicago,  a 1.5 million
rentable square foot office tower that is scheduled to be available for low-rise
occupancy  by the end of the third  quarter of 2002 and  completed in the second
quarter of 2003. We own  approximately  97% of this property and we  consolidate
its  operations.  The  portfolio  also  includes  approximately  202.1  acres of
developable  land and  rights to  acquire  more than  31.6  additional  acres of
developable land which management believes could be developed with approximately
5.0 million rentable square feet of office and industrial space. In addition, we
have an equity ownership interest in a development joint venture which developed
0.1 million square feet of rentable space in suburban Chicago.

     As  of  December  31,  2001,   in  terms  of  net  rentable   square  feet,
approximately  89.0%  of  our  office  properties  and  all  of  our  industrial
properties  were  located in the  Chicago  metropolitan  area in prime  business
locations within established business communities. Our properties located in the
Chicago  metropolitan area account for approximately 90.2% of our rental revenue
and 95.5% of our tenant  reimbursements  revenue for the year ended December 31,
2001. Our remaining  office  properties  are located in the Cleveland,  Ohio and
Knoxville, Tennessee.

     Our income is derived  primarily  from  rental  revenue  (including  tenant
reimbursements) from our properties. We expect that revenue growth over the next
several  years will come from revenue  generated  through  increased  rental and
occupancy rates in the current portfolio.

Forward-Looking Statements

     The  following  discussion  and  analysis  of  our  consolidated  financial
condition  and  results of  operations  should be read in  conjunction  with our
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained herein. Statements
contained  in  “Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial
Condition  and  Results  of  Operations”  include  certain  forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 which reflect  management’s current view with respect to future events
and  financial  performance.  Such  forward-looking  statements  are  subject to
certain risks and  uncertainties  including,  but not limited to, the effects of
future events on our financial performance; risks associated with our high level
of leverage and our ability to refinance our indebtedness as it becomes due; the
risk that we or our  subsidiaries  will not be able to  satisfy  scheduled  debt
service  obligations  or will  not  remain  in  compliance  with  existing  loan
covenants; the effects of future events, including tenant bankruptcies; the risk
that we may be unable to finance  our  development  and  short-term  operational
activities;  risks related to the  industrial  and office  industry in which our
properties  compete,  including the potential adverse impact of external factors
such as inflation,  consumer confidence,  unemployment rates and consumer tastes
and preferences;  risks associated with our development activities,  such as the
potential for cost overruns,  delays and lack of predictability  with respect to
the financial returns associated with these development activities;  the risk of
a potential  increase in market  interest  rates from current  rates;  and risks
associated with real estate  ownership,  such as the potential adverse impact of
changes  in the local  economic  climate  on the  revenues  and the value of our
properties’  systems  as well  as our  tenants  and  vendors.  Readers  are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which
speak only as of December 31, 2001. 
Among the matters about which we have made assumptions are the following:

o    future  economic  conditions  which may  impact  the  demand for office and
     industrial space and our tenants' ability to pay rent, either at current or
     increased levels;
o    prevailing interest rates;
o    the effect of any inflation on operating expenses;
o    our ability to reduce various expenses as a percentage of revenues;
o    our ability to pay amounts due to our preferred  shareholders  prior to any
     distribution to our common shareholders; and
o    the availability of financing and capital.

     In addition,  historical  results and  percentage  relationships  set forth
herein are not necessarily indicative of future operations.

Results of Operations

     Comparison of the Year Ended  December 31, 2001 to the Year Ended  December
31, 2000.

     The  changes in rental and tenant  reimbursements  income,  other  property
revenues,  property operating  expenses,  real estate taxes and depreciation and
amortization  during 2001 from 2000 are due in part  principally to the addition
of a full year of  operating  results in 2001 for five  properties  acquired and
three properties  placed in service during 2000, the inclusion in 2001 of a full
year of operating  results for the office  property  known as 180 North  LaSalle
following its  consolidation in our financial  statements  commencing  August 1,
2000 and the  addition of a partial  year of  operating  results in 2001 for one
property  acquired  during  the  third  quarter  of  2001   (collectively,   the
“Additional  Properties”).  The  increases  in the  various  items  of
operating  revenues and  expenses  resulting  from the  inclusion in 2001 of the
Additional  Properties were offset by decreases  primarily due to the sale of 16
properties  and a parking  facility in 2000, and the inclusion in 2001 of only a
partial  year  of  operating  results  for  the  three  properties  sold in 2001
(collectively, the “Sold Properties”).

     For the year  ended  December  31,  2001,  rental  revenue  decreased  $5.9
million, or 4.4%, to $129.8 million,  tenant reimbursement income increased $3.3
million,  or 4.9%, to $70.3  million,  other  property  revenue  decreased  $0.5
million,  or 6.4%, to $7.6 million,  property  operating expenses increased $1.4
million,  or 2.7%,  to $55.5  million,  real estate tax expense  increased  $1.2
million,  or 2.9%, to $41.5 million and depreciation and amortization  increased
$4.4 million,  or 11.7%, to $41.8 million as compared to the year ended December
31, 2000. The Additional Properties resulted in increased rental revenue of $9.3
million,  tenant reimbursement income of $3.4 million, other property revenue of
$0.1  million,  property  operating  expenses of $3.5  million,  real estate tax
expense of $1.7 million,  and  depreciation and amortization of $3.2 million for
the year ended  December 31,  2001.  The Sold  Properties  resulted in decreased
rental revenue of $14.5 million,  tenant  reimbursement  income of $4.2 million,
other  property  revenue of $0.4 million,  property  operating  expenses of $5.6
million,  real  estate  tax  expense  of  $3.0  million,  and  depreciation  and
amortization  of  $3.1  million  for the  year  ended  December  31,  2001.  For
properties  held for the  entire  year in both  2001 and  2000,  rental  revenue
decreased  $0.7  million,  primarily  due to a $1.0  million  reduction in lease
termination  revenue in 2001 as compared to 2000.  Property  operating  expenses
increased  $3.5 million due to higher  property  repairs and utility costs and a
bad debt associated  with an industrial  tenant’s  bankruptcy.  Real estate
taxes increased $2.5 million due to a triennial reassessment of property values.
As a result of the  increases  in property  operating  expenses  and real estate
taxes,  tenant  reimbursement  income  increased $4.1 million.  Depreciation and
amortization  increased  $3.4 million due to  additional  lease costs and tenant
improvements  associated  with  the  leasing  and  releasing  of  tenant  space.

     Mortgage note  interest  income  decreased  $4.9 million for the year ended
December  31,  2001,  as  compared  to  the  same  period  in  2000,  due to the
acquisition of the second mortgage note encumbering the office property known as
180 North LaSalle on August 1, 2000, and the  property’s  operations  being
consolidated as of that date.

     Interest income and other revenue decreased $2.9 million, or 38.9%, to $4.6
million for the year ended  December 31, 2001, as compared to the same period in
2000.  This  decrease  was  primarily  due to decreased  commission  income from
Dearborn Center,  decreased interest income due to lower interest rates and cash
reserves and decreased  leasing  income due to the  consolidation  of the office
property known as 180 N. LaSalle commencing August 1, 2000.

     For the twelve months ended December 31, 2001,  Services  Company  revenues
were $7.2 million.  This represents  revenues of the Services Company, a taxable
REIT subsidiary,  which was previously treated as an investment accounted for on
the  equity  method  of  accounting  and which is being  consolidated  effective
January 1, 2001 due to our acquisition of its common stock as of that date.

     Interest expense  decreased $3.9 million,  or 7.0%, to $51.9 million during
the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease was  principally due to decreases
in the index rate for certain variable rate debt.

     General and  administrative  expense  decreased $1.3 million,  or 12.3%, to
$9.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease was primarily
due to decreased professional fees in 2001.

     For the year ended December 31, 2001, we recorded a $21.8 million provision
for asset impairment  representing the write-downs of an operating  property and
four development  projects.  For the year ended December 31, 2000, we recorded a
$1.0 million  provision for asset  impairment  representing  the write-down of a
development project.

     For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000,  respectively,  we incurred
$3.3 million and $0.7 million of professional and other fees and expenses in our
review/exploration of potential strategic alternative  transactions,  which have
included portfolio asset sales and joint venture and merger possibilities.

     In 2001, we elected not to use the proceeds from a property sale to acquire
a  replacement  property  but rather  elected to use the  proceeds  for  general
corporate  purposes.  A  portion  of the  gain on the sale of the  property  was
covered  by  tax  indemnity  agreements  with  two  partners  in  our  Operating
Partnership.  As a result,  for the year ended  December 31, 2001, we recorded a
$1.2 million tax indemnification loss representing our liability to the partners
for tax indemnity payments under these agreements.

     For the twelve months ended December 31, 2001,  Services Company  operating
expenses were $6.9 million.  This represents expenses from the Services Company,
a taxable REIT subsidiary, which we began to consolidate as of January 1, 2001.

     For the year ended December 31, 2001, the net gain on sales of certain real
estate was $0.3 million.  For the year ended  December 31, 2000, the net loss on
sales of certain real estate was $2.1 million.

     Income allocated to minority interests  decreased $12.7 million, or 356.7%,
to a $9.2 million loss for the year ended December 31, 2001 due to a decrease in
income before minority interests,  extraordinary items and the cumulative effect
of a change in accounting  principles of $34.7  million,  or 161.4%,  to a $13.2
million loss.  The decrease is primarily due to strategic  alternative  costs, a
provision  for  asset  impairment,  and to the  Additional  Properties  and Sold
Properties and the effects they had on revenue and expenses, as described above,
partially offset by the results of sales of real estate.

     The  extraordinary  loss  on  extinguishments  of  debt,  net  of  minority
interests,  was $0.1 million for the year ended  December  31, 2001,  due to the
write-off of  unamortized  deferred  financing fees related to the mortgage debt
repaid upon debt  refinancing  or the sale of certain  properties.  For the year
ended December 31, 2000, the extraordinary  loss on extinguishments of debt, net
of minority interests was $2.2 million.

     The  cumulative  effect of the  change  in  accounting  principles,  net of
minority  interests,  was $0.3  million  and $1.8  million  for the years  ended
December  31, 2001 and  December 31, 2000,  respectively.  This  represents  the
adoption  of  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  133 and SAB  101,
effective January 1, 2001, and January 1, 2000, respectively.  See Note 1 to our
consolidated financial statements for additional information.

     Net income decreased $18.4 million,  or 132.4%,  to a $4.5 million loss for
the year ended  December 31, 2001 due to the changes in revenue,  expenses,  net
gain on  sales  of real  estate,  provisions  for  asset  impairment,  strategic
alternative  review costs,  extraordinary loss on the extinguishment of debt and
the  cumulative  effect of a change in  accounting  principles  described  above
associated with  acquisitions,  dispositions,  refinancings  and new leasing and
releasing of tenant space.
     Comparison of the Year Ended  December 31, 2000 to the Year Ended  December
31, 1999.

     Rental and tenant reimbursement income,  property operating expenses,  real
estate taxes,  and  depreciation  and  amortization  increased in 2000 from 1999
primarily due to the  inclusion of a full year of operating  results in 2000 for
eight  properties  acquired and two  properties  placed in service in 1999,  the
addition of a partial years of operating  results for five  properties  acquired
and two properties placed in service in 2000, and the addition of a partial year
of  operations  for the office  property  known as 180 N. LaSalle  following its
consolidation   in  our   financial   statements   commencing   August  1,  2000
(collectively,  the  “Additional  Properties”).  These  increases  are
offset by decreases  principally  due to the sale of eleven  properties in 1999;
only a partial year’s worth of operating results for sixteen properties and
one parking  facility sold in 2000;  and the sale of 50% common  interest in the
office  property known as 77 West Wacker Drive in the third quarter of 1999, but
is accounted for on the equity method of accounting  commencing  October 1, 1999
(collectively, the “Sold Properties”).

     For the year  ended  December  31,  2000,  rental  revenue  increased  $9.1
million, or 7.2%, to $135.8 million, tenant reimbursement income increased $16.9
million,  or 33.6%,  to $67.0  million,  other property  revenue  decreased $3.1
million,  27.7%, to $8.1 million,  property  operating  expenses  increased $9.6
million,  or 21.7%,  to $54.1  million,  real estate tax expense  increased $5.9
million, or 17.1%, to $40.4 million and depreciation and amortization  increased
$4.2 million,  or 12.6%, to $37.4 million as compared to the year ended December
31, 1999. The Additional Properties resulted in increased rental income of $38.7
million, tenant reimbursement income of $24.3 million, other property revenue of
$0.3 million,  property  operating  expenses of $14.7  million,  real estate tax
expense of $12.2 million, and depreciation and amortization of $11.4 million for
the year ended  December 31,  2000.  The Sold  Properties  resulted in decreased
rental income of $29.0 million,  tenant  reimbursement  income of $11.3 million,
other  property  revenue of $1.5 million,  property  operating  expenses of $6.8
million,  real  estate  tax  expense  of  $8.8  million,  and  depreciation  and
amortization  of  $8.4  million  for the  year  ended  December  31,  2000.  For
properties  held in both 2000 and 1999,  rental revenue  decreased $0.6 million,
primarily  due to less  revenue from lease  terminations  in 2000 as compared to
1999. Tenant reimbursement income increased $3.9 million, other property revenue
decreased $1.9 million,  property  operating expenses increased $2.3 million and
real estate taxes increased $1.9 million.  Tenant reimbursement income increased
as a result of the  increases  in property  operating  expenses  and real estate
taxes.  Depreciation and  amortization  increased $1.2 million due to additional
lease costs and tenant improvements  resulting from new leasing and releasing of
tenant space.

     Mortgage note interest  income  decreased $2.1 million,  or 29.8%,  to $4.9
million for the year ended  December 31, 2000, as compared to the same period in
1999, due to the acquisition of the second mortgage note  encumbering the office
property known as 180 North LaSalle on August 1, 2000,  and the  property’s
operations being consolidated as of that date.

     Other revenue  increased $5.9 million,  or 378.8%,  to $7.5 million for the
year ended December 31, 2000, as compared to the same period in 1999,  primarily
due to increases in interest  income earned on restricted  cash escrow  balances
and leasing  commissions  earned with respect to Dearborn  Center.  In addition,
other  revenue is lower in 1999 due to our share of the Services  Company’s
$2.8 million write-off of goodwill.

     Interest expense increased $13.1 million, or 30.7%, to $55.8 million during
the year ended  December 31,  2000.  The  increase  was  principally  due to new
mortgages  obtained on certain of the properties which were acquired in 2000 and
1999 and the impact of increases in market  interest  rates on our variable rate
debt.

     General and  administrative  expense  increased $2.8 million,  or 36.9%, to
$10.4  million  during  the year ended  December  31,  2000.  The  increase  was
primarily  due to the  capitalization  of salaries and  benefits  related to our
computer system  conversion  project in 1999 and increased  professional fees in
2000.

     For the year ended December 31, 2000, we recorded a $1.0 million  provision
for asset impairment  associated with property held for future development based
upon our assessment that these costs have no future value.

     For the  year  ended  December  31,  2000,  we  incurred  $0.7  million  of
professional and other fees and expenses in our  review/exploration of strategic
alternatives,  which  include  portfolio  asset sales,  joint venture and merger
possibilities.

     For the year ended December 31, 2000, the net loss on sales of certain real
estate was $2.1 million,  as described in “Recent  Developments.”  For
the year ended December 31, 1999, the net gain on sales of real estate was $53.0
million.

     Income allocated to minority interests  decreased $27.1 million,  or 88.4%,
to $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 due to a decrease in income
before minority  interests,  extraordinary  items and the cumulative effect of a
change in revenue recognition of $10.0 million, or 29.9%, to $23.5 million.  The
decrease is due to strategic  alternative  review costs of $0.7 million,  a $1.0
million provision for asset impairment,  the results of sales of real estate and
to the  Additional  Properties  and Sold  Properties and the effects they had on
revenue and expenses, as described above.

     The  extraordinary  losses  on  extinguishments  of debt,  net of  minority
interests,  was $2.2 million for the year ended  December  31, 2000,  due to the
write-off of  unamortized  deferred  financing fees related to the mortgage debt
repaid upon the sale of certain properties.

     The cumulative change in revenue recognition,  net of minority interests of
$1.8 million  represents the adoption of SAB 101, effective January 1, 2000. See
Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

     Net income decreased $41.0 million, or 74.7%, to $13.9 million for the year
ended  December  31, 2000 due to the changes in revenue,  expenses,  net loss on
sales  of  real  estate,   minority  interests,   extraordinary  losses  on  the
extinguishments  of debt,  and the  cumulative  effect  of a change  in  revenue
recognition described above associated with acquisitions,  dispositions, and new
leasing and releasing of tenant space.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Recent Developments. As previously disclosed, we and our financial advisors
have been exploring the possibility of various strategic alternatives, including
the  possible  sale or joint  venture  of all of a  portion  of our  office  and
industrial portfolios,  and the possible sale of the entire Company or a similar
business  combination  transaction.  Notwithstanding  the substantial efforts of
management and our financial advisors,  we have not been successful in executing
a strategic  transaction on terms we feel are favorable to our shareholders.  We
continue to pursue possible  strategic  alternatives that would be beneficial to
our shareholders;  however,  there can be no assurance that any such transaction
or transactions will occur.

     Liquidity.  Net cash provided from operations represents the primary source
of liquidity to fund distributions, debt service and recurring capital costs. In
order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes,  we must  distribute
90% of our taxable income (excluding capital gains) annually. In accordance with
their revised terms,  we pay an annual dividend of up to a maximum of 12.75% per
annum  ($2.50  per share)  for each  Series A  preferred  share,  including  the
Deferred  Rate (see  “Preferred  Shares”)  and 9% per annum ($2.25 per
share) for each Series B preferred share. Due to a number of factors,  including
our  current  capital  resources  and  needs,  our  Board  decided  not to pay a
distribution  on the common  shares/units  for the fourth  quarter of 2001.  See
“Business    Strategies--Liquidity    Requirements.”     Any    future
distributions on our preferred and common shares of beneficial  interest will be
made at the  discretion  of our Board.  These  distributions  will depend on the
actual  cash  available  for  distribution,  our  financial  condition,  capital
requirements,  the  completion of certain  proposed  capital  events,  including
certain refinancings and asset sales, the annual distribution requirements under
the REIT  provisions  of the Code,  and such other  factors  as our Board  deems
relevant.  We can  give no  assurance  that we  will  be  able to  complete  the
foregoing  capital  events or, if they are  completed,  whether  they will be on
terms  that are  favorable  to us. We also can give no  assurance  that if these
capital   events  are   completed  on  terms   favorable  to  us  or  otherwise,
distributions  on our common shares and common units will be resumed  either for
the first quarter of 2002 or thereafter.  In addition, we can give no assurances
that we will continue to be able to make  distributions  on our preferred shares
of beneficial interest.

     Under the terms of the  construction  loans related to the Dearborn  Center
development,  we are  required,  among  other  things,  to  maintain  a  minimum
unrestricted  cash  balance of $20.0  million at the end of each fiscal  quarter
beginning  with the end of the  fiscal  quarter  ended  December  31,  2000.  At
December 31, 2001, the unrestricted cash balance was less than $20.0 million. In
consideration  for the waiver from the lenders,  we are required to deposit $2.0
million into a cash collateral  account over a fourth month period,  with a $0.5
million initial deposit made at the time the waiver was given, and to pledge, as
additional collateral under the loans, the tax increment financing payments that
we will receive from the City of Chicago  with respect to Dearborn  Center.  The
waiver  covers  the  quarters  ended  December  31,  2001 and  March  31,  2002.
Additionally,  the  lenders  agreed to  permanently  reduce  the  $20.0  million
unrestricted cash balance covenant to $17.5 million.

     Under the terms of three mortgage loans payable totaling $81.1 million,  we
are required to maintain $20.0 million in unrestricted  cash balances at the end
of each  fiscal  quarter.  At  December  31,  2001,  we did not have  sufficient
unrestricted cash balances to meet this requirement. During the first quarter of
2002, we obtained a waiver from the lender for the fiscal quarter ended December
31, 2001. We do not expect to meet this  requirement as of March 31, 2002 and we
are  engaged  in  discussions  with the lender to obtain a waiver for the fiscal
quarter ended March 31, 2002.

     Under the terms of a $20.0 million mortage note payable  collateralized  by
three of our properties  and a $9.0 million  letter of credit  facility with the
same lender,  we are required to limit the amount of  distributions  that can be
paid on our common shares and units to a maximum of 90% of funds from operations
(as defined) for each  calendar  year. At December 31, 2001 we did not meet this
requirement  with  respect to calendar  year 2001.  In March  2002,  we obtained
amendments  to the mortgage  loan and the letter of credit  facility.  Under the
amendments,  we obtained a waiver of the distribution covenant for calendar year
2001,  and agreed,  among other  things,  to  increase a $3.5  million  guaranty
related to a $12.5  million  mezzanine  facility on our 33 West Monroe  property
with the same lender to a full guaranty of such mezzanine loan.

     The  covenants  contained  in many of our  loan  agreements  and  guarantee
agreements with our lenders include minimum ratios for debt service coverage and
liabilities as a percentage of total assets, as well as minimum net worth levels
and limits as to  recourse  indebtedness.  Compliance  with these  covenants  is
highly  dependent  on our  financial  results  and could be  impacted  by future
capital  events such as asset sales,  debt  refinancings  and new debt or equity
transactions. There can be no assurance that we will meet these covenants in the
future and, if we do not meet a covenant, whether appropriate loan modifications
or waivers can be obtained.  In addition,  certain loans  contain  cross-default
provisions  whereby a default under the covenants  related to one loan agreement
would also result in a default under the  provisions of one or more other loans.
Failure  to meet a  covenant  could  result  in a  requirement  for a  principal
paydown, accelerated maturity,  additional collateral or other changes in terms.
This could also  adversely  affect our ability to obtain  additional  sources of
financing or equity capital.

     Given our current level of debt, availability of collateral and our current
financing arrangements, we may not be able to obtain additional debt at interest
rates which are below the rates of return on our  properties.  In addition,  any
equity  capital we might raise may be dilutive to our current  shareholders.  As
previously  discussed,  we are currently  negotiating with third parties to sell
certain  properties in our  portfolio.  There can be no assurances  that we will
consummate debt, equity or asset sales  transactions  which would yield proceeds
of  sufficient  nature  and in a  timeframe  necessary  to  fund  our  projected
operating and capital needs on a current basis.

     The following  tables disclose our  contractual  obligations and commercial
commitments as of December 31, 2001:

                            ==================================================

(A)  Included in mortgage notes payable due in 2002 is a $153,200 mortgage note,
     which can be extended for up to two years at our option.  Also  included in
     mortgage notes payable due during 2002 is a $29,400 mortgage note, which we
     extended for one year in January  2002. In addition,  we repaid  $21,500 of
     mortgage  notes payable out of the proceeds of the Aurora land sale and the
     put which we exercised  with respect to our joint  venture  interest in the
     Monroe Wacker parcel. See "Recent Developments".  We intend to refinance or
     extend the maturity dates on the remainder.
(B)  The maturity of these bonds would have been  accelerated upon the scheduled
     expiration of letters of credit, which letters of credit support the bonds,
     in January 2002. On January 2, 2002, we purchased  $23,250 of the bonds and
     obtained  replacement  letters of credit of  $25,241  which have a maturity
     date of January 2, 2007.
(C)  We anticipate funding these obligations from operations and the proceeds of
     equity,  debt or asset sale(s)  transaction  as discussed in "Liquidity and
     Capital Resources".
(D)  We have escrows of $3,699 which may be utilized to fund these obligations.
(E)  These  obligations  would be offset by any receipts from  subleasing of the
     related space. We currently have executed  subleases which we estimate will
     provide subleasing receipts of $7,320.

                              ================================================

(A)  Included in the total are letters of credit of $48,800  that expired and were
     replaced  on  January 2, 2002.  The  letters of credit  were used to credit
     support tax-exempt  industrial  development revenue bonds on certain of our
     industrial  facilities.  On January 2, 2002,  we  purchased  $23,250 of the
     bonds and obtained  replacement  letters of credit of $25,241  which have a
     maturity date of January 2, 2007.

(B)  Included  in the total is our  guarantee  related  to the  Dearborn  Center
     construction  loan of $48,397,  having a maturity  date of January 5, 2004.
     The guarantee will increase to a maximum of $60,000 as additional funds are
     drawn under the construction  loan commitment.  In addition,  we guaranteed
     $3,500 of a $12,500  mezzanine  facility  maturing on November 15, 2003. In
     March 2002, we increased our guaranty to a full loan guaranty of $12,500 in
     consideration for an amendment to certain financial  covenant  requirements
     related to a $20,000 mezzanine  facility from the same lender maturing June
     30, 2003.  On January 9, 2002, we extended the maturity date of the $30,000
     mortgage  note  payable  secured by 100% of its  ownership  interest in IBM
     Plaza, Chicago,  Illinois, until February 23, 2003. The guarantee of $2,500
     is shown as expiring on February 23, 2002.  However,  the guarantee will in
     fact  expire at the same time as the  maturity  date of the  mortgage  note
     payable on February 23, 2003.

(C)  The total represents tax indemnity payments accrued during 2001 and payable
     April 15, 2002, of $1,177 to IBD  Contributors  and $14 to NAC contributors
     for the sale of 43-47 Hintz Road.  We also  estimate  our maximum  possible
     exposure  on  tax  indemnifications  to be an  additional  $81,952  if  all
     indemnity  properties  had been sold as of December 31, 2001. The amount of
     certain  indemnities  decreases  by  10%  each  calendar  year.  (See  "Tax
     Indemnity Agreements").

(D)  Dividends  are  cumulative  and payable at a 7.5% annual rate each  quarter
     that the Series A preferred shares remain outstanding. In addition, SCP has
     a contractual right under the securities  purchase  agreement,  as amended,
     relating  to the  Series A  preferred  shares,  to require us to redeem the
     Series A  preferred  shares at a  redemption  price equal to $20 per share,
     plus  accrued  dividends  to the  date of  redemption,  upon 10 days  prior
     written notice,  which redemption may be required by SCP at any time during
     the period from January 15, 2002 through  January 14, 2004. On February 22,
     2002,  we  amended  the  agreement  and  agreed to an  additional  deferral
     payment,  as  defined,  of 3.5%  calculated  on the  outstanding  Series  A
     preferred shares. This payment accrues from February 8, 2002 to the date of
     notice of  redemption,  is payable at redemption  and  compounds  quarterly
     beginning March 31, 2002. The deferral payment  increases by 0.50% every 90
     days up to a maximum of 5.25%.  As notice of redemption has not been given,
     the timing and total amount ultimately payable is not determinable and are,
     therefore,  not shown herein.  We are now, and may from time to time in the
     future,  continue to  negotiate  SCP to modify the terms of the  securities
     purchase agreement.

(E)  Dividends  are  cumulative  and payable at a 9.0% annual rate each  quarter
     that  the  Series B  preferred  shares  remain  outstanding.  The  Series B
     preferred  shares  rank  senior  to the  common  shares  and the  Series  A
     preferred shares as to the payment of dividends.

     As discussed  under  “Capital  Improvements”,  we anticipate  the
funding of increased  capital  expenditures for tenant  improvements and leasing
commissions in 2002,  primarily in our suburban  office  portfolio,  to retenant
space that has recently vacated or is anticipated to be vacated during the year.
Anticipated  cash  flow  from  operations,  after the  funding  of debt  service
payments and other fixed charges,  is not sufficient to fund these expenditures.
Therefore,  these  activities  are  highly  dependent  on our  ability to obtain
additional  financing  or equity  capital or to sell  assets.  Failure to obtain
additional  sources  of  funds  from  debt or  equity  transactions  or from the
proceeds  of asset  sales would  severely  impact our  ability to  re-lease  and
properly maintain our properties.

     Tenant  Concentration.  The following  represents our five largest  tenants
based on gross revenue received during 2001 (in thousands):

                                   Gross         % Of Total
                                   Tenant         Company
                   Tenant          Revenue       Revenue
            -------------------------------------------------
            Arthur Andersen        $17,602          8.0
            Jenner & Block      13,801          6.3
            National City Bank      10,078          4.6
            IBM Corporation          8,490          3.9
            Motorola                 6,655          3.0
                                 ----------------------------
                                   $56,626         25.8%
                                 ============================

     If one or more of these tenants were to experience  financial  difficulties
and cease paying rent,  our cash flow and  earnings  would likely be  negatively
impacted  in the near term.  The extent and length of this would be  impacted by
several factors, including:

o    the nature of the financial difficulties;
o    our ability to obtain control of the space for releasing;
o    market conditions;
o    the length of time it would  require for us to release the tenant's  space;
     and
o    whether the tenant's rent was above or below market.

     Arthur  Andersen LLP currently  leases 664,162 net rentable  square feet in
two of our office  properties  (587,313 square feet at 33 West Monroe Street and
76,849 square feet at 330 North Wabash Avenue).  Arthur Andersen’s  current
net rent at these properties is  substantially  below market rent for comparable
buildings in the downtown  Chicago  office market.  Given the widely  publicized
uncertainties  facing  Arthur  Andersen,  there can be no assurance  that Arthur
Andersen will continue to occupy space in our portfolio, pay rent for such space
on a timely basis, and fulfill its lease obligations. If Arthur Andersen were to
cease payment of its rental obligation, this would negatively impact our ability
to meet our financial obligations.

     Property  Sales.  During the year ended  December 31, 2001, we sold various
office and  industrial  properties  and vacant land  parcels  (see  “Recent
Developments”)  and used a portion of the net  proceeds  to  acquire  other
office and industrial properties and land parcels, retire debt, fund development
activities and for general corporate needs.

     Preferred Shares. Our outstanding  preferred shares contain restrictions on
our ability to issue additional preferred shares and, in certain  circumstances,
incur  additional  indebtedness.  In  addition,  SCP, the holder of our Series A
preferred shares, has a current  contractual right under the securities purchase
agreement, as amended,  relating to the Series A preferred shares, to require us
to redeem the Series A preferred  shares at a redemption  price equal to $20 per
share,  plus  accrued  dividends to the date of  redemption,  upon 10 days prior
written notice,  which  redemption may be required by SCP at any time during the
period from January 15, 2002 through  January 14, 2004. On February 22, 2002, we
amended the agreement and agreed to an additional deferral payment (as defined),
of 3.5% calculated on the outstanding  Series A preferred  shares.  This payment
accrues from February 8, 2002 to the date of notice of redemption, is payable at
redemption  and  compounds  quarterly  beginning  March 31,  2002.  The deferral
payment  increases by 0.50% percent every 90 days up to a maximum rate of 5.25%.
We are now, and may from time to time in the future,  continue to negotiate with
SCP to modify the terms of the securities purchase agreement.

     Our anticipated cash flows from operations in 2002 may not be sufficient to
fund our preferred dividends on a current basis.  Payment of these dividends may
be  dependent  on our ability to defer the  funding of our capital  requirements
and/or to obtain  additional  financing  and equity  capital or to sell  assets.
Failure to obtain  additional  sources  of funds from debt or equity  capital or
from the proceeds of asset sales may result in a suspension  of our Series A and
Series B  preferred  share  dividends  on a  current  basis.  As a result of any
suspension,  our Series A preferred  shareholder  may decide to exercise its put
right. In addition,  the holders of our Series A preferred shares have the right
to elect one additional  member to our Board (or two  additional  members if our
Board  consists  of  more  than  10  members)  if  two   consecutive   quarterly
distributions (i) on the Series A preferred shares, or (ii) on our common shares
in an amount  of at least  $0.3375  per  share,  are not  made.  The term of any
Trustee  elected  by  the  Series  A  preferred  shareholders  will  expire,  as
applicable,  whenever all arrears in dividends on the Series A preferred  shares
have been paid and current dividends declared and set apart for payment, we have
paid a  dividend  on our  common  shares  at  least  equal  to  $0.3375  for two
consecutive  quarters.  The  holders of our Series B  preferred  shares have the
right to elect two additional members to our Board if six consecutive  quarterly
distributions  on the Series B  preferred  shares are not made.  The term of any
Trustees elected by the Series B preferred shareholders will expire whenever all
arrears in dividends on the Series B preferred shares have been paid and current
dividends declared and set apart for payment.

     Tax Indemnity  Agreements.  In connection with the  contribution of certain
properties   during  our  initial   public   offering,   we  entered   into  tax
indemnifications with certain principals affiliated with Edward S. Hadesman, one
of our executive  officers,  and certain  principals  affiliated with Stephen J.
Nardi,  one of our  Trustees.  The terms of these  agreements  are  discussed in
“Certain  Relationships  and  Related  Transactions  - Tax  Indemnification
Agreements”.

     On  December  12,  1997,   we  purchased  and  amended  the  mortgage  note
encumbering the property known as Continental Towers located in Rolling Meadows,
Illinois.  As part of this  transaction,  we agreed to indemnify the two limited
partners (the  “Principals”) of the limited partnership which owns the
property for, among other things,  the federal and  applicable  state income tax
liabilities  that  result  from the  income or gain which  they  recognize  upon
refinancing,  sale,  foreclosure or other action taken by us with respect to the
property or the mortgage note (a “Tax Event”).  Under the terms of the
agreement,  if an Indemnification Event, as defined,  results in a Tax Event, we
are required to  immediately  pay to the  Principals the amount of any resulting
federal  or state  tax,  including  any  interest  and  penalties,  as well as a
“gross up” amount that effectively results in the Principals receiving
this indemnity payment on a net, after tax basis. However, if a legal opinion is
obtained  from   independent   tax  counsel  that  the   Indemnification   Event
“should”  not trigger a Tax Event  resulting in taxable income or gain
to the Principals,  no indemnity payment is immediately  required.  If the legal
opinion  obtained from independent tax counsel states that the Principals have a
“reasonable  basis”  for reporting the  Indemnification  Event without
including  any  taxable  income or gain,  no  indemnity  payment is  immediately
required. In either case, the indemnity payment would be required if a Tax Event
occurred.  However,  if  a  “reasonable  basis”  opinion  is  received
regarding an  Indemnification  Event and if our equity market  capitalization is
less than $400.0  million  (but more than $200.0  million),  we are  required to
deposit 50% of the total indemnity  amount into an escrow in cash or in the form
of a  letter-of-credit.  If (i) an  Indemnification  Event occurs and our equity
market  capitalization  falls below $200.0  million for more than 30 consecutive
trading  days,  (ii) or  immediately  after we sell or otherwise  dispose of the
lesser of $100.0 million or 33% of our gross assets within a twelve month period
(“a Trigger Disposition”), we desire to cause an Indemnification Event
and our equity market  capitalization is less than $200.0 million,  then we will
be required to deposit 100% of the total  indemnity  amount into the escrow.  In
addition,   in  the  case  of  a  Trigger  Disposition  and  our  equity  market
capitalization  falls  below  $200.0  million,  the  Principals  may acquire the
general partnership  interest in the limited partnership which owns the property
for $1,000 and be able to prevent the Indemnification Event from occurring.  The
tax  indemnity  obligation  expires  January 5, 2013.  We  estimate  our maximum
possible exposure at December 31, 2001 is $57.2 million.

     As discussed  above,  sales of properties which result in taxable income to
parties  covered by tax  indemnification  agreements  would  create an indemnity
obligation  on our part to the  indemnified  party.  In order to  mitigate  this
obligation,  we may enter into tax deferred exchange  transactions,  which would
defer the tax sale and related indemnity  obligation.  Proceeds  available to us
from sales of properties covered by indemnity properties would be reduced by the
amount  necessary to fund any  indemnity  payment or to purchase  properties  to
satisfy tax deferred exchange transactions. 
     Indebtedness.  Our  aggregate  indebtedness  was $925.1  million and $799.2
million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.  At December 31, 2001, this
indebtedness  had a weighted average maturity of 4.01 years and bore interest at
a weighted  average  interest  rate of 8.02% per annum.  At December  31,  2001,
$405.7 million,  or 43.9%, bore interest at a fixed rate, and $519.4 million, or
56.1% of such  indebtedness,  including $57.2 million of tax-exempt  bonds, bore
interest at variable rates. Of the $519.4 million of variable rate debt,  $363.1
million was subject to interest rate protection  instruments,  including  $155.2
million  subject to an interest rate swap  agreement,  $140.9 million subject to
various  interest rate cap agreements  and $67.0 million  subject to an interest
rate collar agreement.

     We have financed a portion of our acquisitions  with proceeds from mortgage
notes  payable  from  various  financial  institutions,  with fixed and variable
interest rates and maturities from 2002 through 2013.

     Interest  Rate  Protection  Agreements.  We have entered into the following
interest rate protection agreements:

     On January 31,  1999,  we entered into an interest  rate collar  agreement,
with respect to our property at 33 West Monroe Street in Chicago,  Illinois, for
the period from  January 31, 1999  through  January 31,  2002,  with a financial
institution for an original notional amount of $65.0 million.  The interest rate
ceiling  under the  agreement  was based on a LIBOR  index rate of 7.50% and the
interest  rate floor is based on a LIBOR index rate of 3.73%.  On  November  15,
2000,  the underlying  note was refinanced  with the proceeds of a $67.0 million
mortgage note payable. The collar agreement remained in place and was designated
to the new loan in conjunction  with an additional  interest rate cap agreement.
On November 15, 2000,  we also entered into an interest  rate cap  agreement for
the period from November 15, 2000,  through  January 31, 2002. The interest rate
under the agreement is capped at the LIBOR index rate of 6.50%.  Included in the
interest  rate cap  agreement  was the sale of an interest rate cap based on the
LIBOR index rate of 7.50% for the period from November 15, 2000 through  January
31, 2002, for a notional amount of $65.0 million.  This agreement  allowed us to
reduce the cost of this hedge  instrument  and take  advantage  of the  existing
collar  agreement  originally  entered into on January 31, 1999.  On December 6,
2001, we extended the interest rate cap agreement through January 31, 2003 for a
notional amount of $67.0 million.  An additional  hedge agreement is required by
February 1, 2003,  covering  the period  from  February  1, 2003,  through  debt
maturity of November 15, 2005.

     On November 1, 1999,  we entered  into an interest  rate collar  agreement,
with respect to our property at 77 West Wacker Drive in Chicago,  Illinois,  for
the period from  November 1, 1999  through  September  30, 2002 with a financial
institution for an original notional amount of $170.0 million. The interest rate
ceiling  and the  interest  rate floor under the  agreement  is based on a LIBOR
index rate of 7.75% and a LIBOR index rate of 5.62%,  respectively.  On November
22, 1999, this agreement was assigned to an  unconsolidated  joint venture which
owns the related  property and  indebtedness.  On November  10, 1999,  the joint
venture entered into an additional interest rate collar agreement for the period
from October 1, 2002 through September 30, 2004 with a financial institution for
an original notional amount of $157.5 million. The interest rate ceiling and the
interest floor under the agreement is based on a LIBOR index rate of 7.75% and a
LIBOR index rate of 6.10%,  respectively.  On March 12, 2001,  our joint venture
partner  replaced us as the  guarantor  to the  counterparties  related to these
agreements.  If our joint venture  partner,  as guarantor,  were required to pay
either  of the  counterparties  under  the  terms of the  interest  rate  collar
agreements,  we would be liable to reimburse our joint venture partner our fifty
percent share of any amount paid.

     On December 10, 1999, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement, with
respect to our  property  at 330 North  Wabash  Avenue  (IBM  Plaza) in Chicago,
Illinois, for the period from December 10, 1999 through December 10, 2002 for an
original  notional  amount of $160.0 million that decreased to $158.4 million on
December 10, 2000 and decreases to $155.2 million on December 10, 2001, based on
a LIBOR  index  rate of 6.3%  that  effectively  fixed  the  interest  rate on a
variable rate mortgage at 8.0%. We have provided a guaranty to the  counterparty
related to this  agreement  to the extent of any  decrease  in value in the swap
agreement.  In accordance with this guarantee,  the swap agreement requires cash
escrow  deposits to the extent that the  instrument’s  valuation  decreases
more than $0.5 million. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively,  we have
deposited  $5.6 million and $1.4 million  pertaining  to the interest  rate swap
agreement.

     On July 11, 2000,  we entered  into an interest  rate cap  agreement,  with
respect to our property at 180 North LaSalle  Street in Chicago,  Illinois,  for
the period from July 11, 2000  through  August 1, 2001 for a notional  amount of
$52.0  million.  The interest  rate under this  agreement is capped at the LIBOR
index rate of 7.25%. The agreement was subsequently extended to January 15, 2004
and the notional amount was increased to $60.0 million.

     On November 15, 2000, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement,  with
respect to the property  located at 33 West Monroe Street in Chicago,  Illinois,
for a notional  amount of $67.0  million for the period from  November  15, 2000
through January 31, 2002. On December 6, 2001, we extended the interest rate cap
agreement  to January 31, 2003 (an  additional  hedge  agreement  is required by
February  1, 2003 for the period  February  1, 2003  through  debt  maturity  of
November 15, 2005) with respect to the $67.0 million  variable rate note payable
secured by the 33 West Monroe Street property. The interest rate under the terms
of the  agreement  is  capped at the LIBOR  index  rate of 6.50% for a  notional
amount of $67.0 million. Included in the initial interest rate cap agreement was
the sale of an interest  rate cap based on the LIBOR index rate of 7.50% for the
period from November 15, 2000 through January 31, 2002, for a notional amount of
$65.0  million.  This  agreement  allowed  us to reduce  the cost of this  hedge
instrument  and take  advantage of the  remaining  term of the  existing  collar
agreement  originally  entered into on January 31,  1999.  We received a nominal
amount under the terms of the cap  agreement  during 2000 and no amounts  during
2001.

     On November 15, 2000, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement,  with
respect to our property at 33 West Monroe Street in Chicago,  Illinois,  for the
period from November 15, 2000 through November 15, 2003 for a notional amount of
$12.5  million.  The  interest  rate under the  agreement is capped at the LIBOR
index  rate of  8.35%,  8.75%  and 9.0%  for  loan  years  one,  two and  three,
respectively.

     On August 22, 2001,  we entered into an interest rate cap  agreement,  with
respect to our property  Dearborn  Center in Chicago,  Illinois,  for the period
from January 22, 2002 through January 5, 2004. The interest rate under the terms
of the  agreement is capped at the LIBOR index rate of 4.25%  increasing to 7.4%
over the term of the cap  agreement.  The  notional  amount of the cap begins at
$81.0 million and  increases  over the term of the cap agreement to a maximum of
$230.0 million based on increases  anticipated in the  construction  loan during
the expected construction period of the Dearborn Center property.

     Debt Repayments.  In connection with the sale of two industrial properties,
mortgage  debt of $8.5  million  was  repaid  with sales  proceeds.  We paid off
mortgage debt of $82.7 million as a result of our debt refinancing  activity and
a  mortgage  note  payable  of  $11.0  million   related  to  a  property  under
development.  Scheduled  principal  payments  were made  totaling  $13.7 million
bringing the total debt repayments for 2001 to $115.9 million.

     Future Debt and Equity Offerings.  We filed a shelf registration  statement
on Form S-3 with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission,  which was declared
effective  on June 8, 1999,  to register up to $500.0  million of our equity and
debt  securities  for future sale at prices and on terms to be determined at the
time of offering.

     Capital  Improvements.  Our  properties  require  periodic  investments  of
capital for  tenant-related  capital  improvements.  During  2001 and 2000,  our
tenant  improvements  and  leasing  commissions   averaged  $30.73  and  $21.01,
respectively,  per square foot of  newly-leased  office space,  $9.15 and $6.23,
respectively,  per square foot of office leases renewed by existing tenants, and
$3.83 and $7.29, respectively, per square foot of newly-leased industrial space.
Our total cost of general capital  improvements  to our properties  historically
averages $5.9 million  annually based upon an estimate of $0.47 per square foot.
Due to  current  economic  and  market  conditions  and the  forecasted  leasing
activity in our  portfolio,  however,  we are  budgeting  over $29.0  million of
capital   expenditures   in  2002.  See   “Business   Strategies--Liquidity
Requirements.”  We believe  that we should  keep our  properties  near full
occupancy,  even if the cost is to fund additional  funds to the tenant at lease
commencement  to induce the prospect to become a tenant.  This  strategy has, in
our  opinion,  always been  successful  during  periods of  economic  decline or
economic uncertainty--a period which we believe we are in.
Historical Cash Flows

     We had  consolidated  net cash  provided by operating  activities  of $57.5
million, $64.4 million and $106.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2001,
2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The $6.8  million  decrease  in cash  provided by
operating  activities for the year ended December 31, 2001,  from the year ended
December 31, 2000, was primarily due to a $18.4 million  decrease in net income,
a $0.1 million  decrease in  amortization  of costs for leases  assumed,  a $2.3
million decrease in net loss on sales of real estate, a $2.5 million decrease in
the net equity in loss of unconsolidated  entities,  a $12.7 million decrease in
income allocated to minority interests, a $2.0 million decrease in extraordinary
items,  a $1.5 million  decrease in cumulative  effect of a change in accounting
principles,  a $5.2 million decrease in accounts  payable and accrued  expenses,
and a $2.4  million  decrease  in other  liabilities,  offset by a $1.8  million
decrease in interest  income and  development  costs added to the mortgage  note
receivable principal,  a $4.4 million increase in depreciation and amortization,
a $0.2 million  increase in  unrealized  loss on  derivatives,  a $20.8  million
increase  in  provision  for  asset  impairment,  a  $3.2  million  decrease  in
receivables, a $1.3 million decrease in other assets, a $4.8 million increase in
accrued  interest  payable,  and a $3.8 million  increase in accrued real estate
taxes.

     The $41.9 million decrease in cash provided by operating activities for the
year ended  December  31,  2000,  from the year ended  December  31,  1999,  was
primarily due to a $41.0 million decrease in net income, a $2.8 million decrease
in the net equity in loss of unconsolidated  entities,  a $27.1 million decrease
in income  allocated to minority  interests,  a $0.6 million decrease in loss on
land  development  option,  a $0.1 million decrease in amortization of costs for
leases assumed,  a $6.1 million  increase in deferred rent  receivable,  a $19.8
million  decrease in other  assets,  a $22.7  million  increase in accrued  real
estate  taxes,  and a $0.9  million  decrease  in  accounts  payable and accrued
expenses,  offset by a $0.7 million  decrease in interest income and development
costs added to the mortgage note receivable  principal,  a $1.0 million increase
in the provision for asset  impairment,  a $4.2 million increase in depreciation
and  amortization,  a  $0.6  million  decrease  in net  gain  on  treasury  lock
terminations,  a $55.1 million  decrease in net gain on sales of real estate,  a
$1.1  million  increase  in  extraordinary  items,  a $1.8  million  increase in
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, an $11.1 million decrease
in tenant receivables,  a $0.2 million increase in accrued interest payable, and
a $3.4 million increase in other liabilities.

     We had  consolidated  net  cash  used in  investing  activities  of  $149.4
million, $26.2 million and $439.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2001,
2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The $123.2  million  increase in net cash used in
investing  activities for the year ended December 31, 2001,  from the year ended
December 31, 2000, was primarily due to a $28.8 million increase in expenditures
for real estate and equipment,  principally related to property development, and
a $116.6 million decrease in proceeds from the sales of real estate, offset by a
$12.2 million decrease in additional advances on the mortgage note receivable, a
$2.3 million  decrease in restricted  cash escrows,  a $2.9 million  decrease in
leasing costs, and a $4.8 million decrease in net loans to the Services Company.

     The $413.6  million  decrease in net cash used in investing  activities for
the year ended  December  31,  2000 from the year ended  December  31,  1999 was
primarily due to a $461.1 million  decrease in expenditures  for real estate and
equipment,  principally related to property acquisitions and development,  and a
$4.6 million decrease in the purchase of and additional advances on the mortgage
note  receivable,  offset by a $12.3 million decrease in proceeds from the sales
of real  estate,  a $3.8  million  increase in leasing  costs,  a $27.2  million
increase in restricted cash escrows, a $7.5 million increase in net loans to the
Services  Company and a $1.3 million  decrease in  distributions  received  from
unconsolidated joint ventures.

     We had  consolidated  net cash  provided by financing  activities  of $73.2
million for the year ended  December  31,  2001,  consolidated  net cash used in
financing  activities of $32.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, and
consolidated net cash provided by financing activities of $306.9 million for the
year ended December 31, 1999.  The $106.0 million  increase in net cash provided
by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2001 from the year ended
December  31, 2000 was  primarily  due to a $8.9  million  decrease in financing
costs, a $19.5 million decrease in net repayment of credit  facilities,  a $77.5
million  decrease in the repayment of mortgage  notes  payable,  a $17.3 million
decrease  in the  repayment  of bonds  payable,  a $105.6  million  increase  in
proceeds from construction  financing, a $0.7 million decrease in the repurchase
of Operating  Partnership  minority  interest  common units,  and a $0.3 million
decrease in distributions  paid to minority  interest  unitholders,  offset by a
$122.0 million decrease in proceeds from mortgage notes payable,  a $0.4 million
increase in common share  repurchases,  a $1.0 million decrease in contributions
from other minority interests,  and a $0.4 million increase in dividends paid to
common shareholders.

     The $339.7  million  increase in net cash used in financing  activities for
the year ended  December  31,  2000 from the year ended  December  31,  1999 was
primarily  due to a $288.3  million  decrease in proceeds  from  mortgage  notes
payable, a $39.0 million increase in net repayment of credit facilities,  a $5.4
million  increase  in  financing  costs,  a $15.3  million  decrease in deposits
returned  under   treasury  lock   agreements,   a  $0.9  million   increase  in
distributions  to  preferred  shareholders,  common  shareholders,  and minority
interests,   and  a  $0.7  million  increase  in  the  repurchase  of  operating
partnership  minority  interest units,  offset by a $8.5 million decrease in the
repayment  of  mortgage  notes and bonds  payable,  a $1.0  million  increase in
contributions  from other  minority  interests,  and a $0.4 million  decrease in
preferred stock transaction fees.

Funds from Operations

     Industry analysis generally  consider Funds from Operations,  as defined by
the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts  (“NAREIT”),
an alternative  measure of performance of an equity REIT.  Funds from Operations
is defined by NAREIT as net income (loss)  determined  in accordance  with GAAP,
excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable  operating property,  plus
depreciation and  amortization  (other than  amortization of deferred  financing
costs and  depreciation  of non-real  estate  assets) and after  adjustment  for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  Non-recurring items, other than
those  considered  “extraordinary”  under GAAP, are not adjustments to
funds  from  operations.  We  believe  that  in  order  to  facilitate  a  clear
understanding  of  our  combined  historical   operating  results,   Funds  from
Operations should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented
in the unaudited financial  statements included elsewhere in this form 10-K. The
following  tables  represent  the  unaudited  calculation  of  our  consolidated
quarterly  summary of Funds from  Operations  for the years ended  December  31,
2001, 2000 and 1999 (amounts in thousands):

(1)  Excludes the amortization of deferred  financings costs and non-real estate
     related depreciation.
(2)  For the year ended December 31, 2001, the second quarter extraordinary loss
     previously reported has been restated by $223, net of minority interests of
     $153, to reflect an adjustment we recorded in the fourth quarter to reverse
     the write-off of deferred financing fees incorrectly recorded in the second
     quarter.  The  restatement  did  not  significantly  affect  our  trend  of
     earnings.
(3)  During the fourth  quarter of 2000, we changed our method of accounting for
     revenue  recognition in accordance with SAB 101. Effective January 1, 2000,
     we  recorded a charge to income of $1,843,  net of  minority  interests  of
     $1,140,  representing  the  cumulative  effect  of  adopting  SAB 101 as of
     January 1, 2000. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement
     No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements",  the
     previously  reported quarterly  information for the first three quarters of
     2000 has been restated.  The net quarterly effect in 2000 was a decrease in
     net income  (loss)  available  to common  shares of $1,867 and $230 for the
     first and second  quarters,  respectively,  and an increase of $238 for the
     third quarter of 2000, a decrease in funds from  operations of $42 and $392
     for the first and second quarters,  respectively,  and an increase in funds
     from  operations  of $406 for the third  quarter.  No  restatement  of 1999
     information  was  necessary.  Included in the above four  quarters  revenue
     adjustments  is $255,  $85,  $74 and $73 for the first,  second,  third and
     fourth  quarters,  respectively,  of revenue  previously  recorded 1999. On
     January 1, 2001,  we adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards
     ("SFAS")  No.  133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging
     Activities," as amended by SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative
     Instruments  and  Certain  Hedging  Activities."  SFAS No. 133, as amended,
     established accounting and reporting standards for derivative  instruments.
     Specifically,  SFAS No. 133 requires an entity to recognize all derivatives
     as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial  position and
     to measure those  instruments at fair value.  Additionally,  the fair value
     adjustments will affect either shareholders' equity or net income depending
     on whether the  derivative  instrument  qualifies as a hedge for accounting
     purposes and, if so, the nature of the hedging  activity.  Upon adoption of
     SFAS 138 and SFAS 133, we recorded as a cumulative  effect of an accounting
     change a net transition adjustment (unrealized loss) of $0.5 million in net
     income,  and a  transition  adjustment  of $3.2  million as an  increase in
     accumulated other  comprehensive loss. Adoption of the standard resulted in
     a net transition  adjustment of $3.8 million on our balance sheet reflected
     as a $0.5 million  reduction in deferred costs, a $1.4 million reduction in
     investment in  unconsolidated  entities and a deferred  hedge  liability of
     $1.9 million.  In August 2001,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board
     issued final  guidance on the  accounting  for options used as hedges under
     SFAS No. 133. This guidance is pursuant to Derivatives Implementation Group
     Issue No. G20 ("G20").  Provided  certain  criteria are met, options can be
     considered fully effective hedging  vehicles,  with gains and losses due to
     changes in market value recorded in other accumulated  comprehensive income
     on our balance sheet. On September 1, 2001, we adopted G20 for its interest
     rate hedge  instruments.  Any subsequent  unrealized gains or losses due to
     changes in market  value of options,  such as interest  rate caps,  will be
     recorded in the other accumulated comprehensive income.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

     Non-Compete  Agreement Among the Company,  PGI and Michael W. Reschke.  We,
PGI and Mr.  Reschke are parties to a Non-Compete  Agreement that provided that,
so long as PGI and/or its affiliates own a 5.0% or greater economic  interest in
us or Mr.  Reschke is the  Chairman of our Board,  neither  Mr.  Reschke nor PGI
(including  its  affiliates)  will own,  acquire or manage  office or industrial
properties  (except any ownership  resulting from foreclosure of  indebtedness).
Excluded  from the  foregoing  restrictions  are (i) any  interest  in us or our
Operating Partnership, (ii) all properties in which PGI had an interest prior to
the formation  transactions  in connection  with our initial public offering and
(iii) PGI’s or Mr. Reschke’s  ownership of less than 5.0% of any class
of securities listed on a national securities exchange or on the Nasdaq National
Market. In addition,  under the agreement,  PGI and Mr. Reschke are permitted to
provide debt or lease financing for properties  similar to the properties  owned
or managed by us and to acquire any  preferred  equity  position in any owner or
lessee of any such type of properties.

     Consulting  Agreement with Stephen J. Nardi. We have a consulting agreement
with  Stephen  J.  Nardi,  one of our  Trustees.  The  consulting  agreement  is
automatically  extended for one-year terms unless we or Mr. Nardi  terminates it
in writing.  The consulting agreement requires Mr. Nardi to devote substantially
all of his time and energy to performing  consulting  services on our behalf. In
addition to an initial  base fee of $200,000 per annum,  which was  increased to
$220,000  per  annum for 2001,  Mr.  Nardi is  entitled  to  receive  additional
incentive  compensation  in an  amount  up to  100% of his  base  fee  based  on
achievement  of  such  company  and  individual  goals  and  objectives  as  are
established by our Board of Trustees or its Compensation Committee. In 2000, Mr.
Nardi earned  $100,000 in cash and 4,891  restricted  common  shares (which were
granted  in 2001  for  performance  in  2000)  as  incentive  compensation.  The
consulting  agreement contains  non-compete  provisions which are applicable for
two years  following  the (i)  expiration  of the  consulting  agreement or (ii)
termination of the  consulting  agreement by Mr. Nardi or by us as a result of a
breach of the agreement by Mr. Nardi or certain acts of misconduct by Mr. Nardi.

     Agreements to Purchase Certain Properties.  We have an option to purchase a
parking garage located at 300 N. LaSalle Street in Chicago from PGI which option
has approximately  five and one-half years remaining on its term. 300 N. LaSalle
Street  contains   approximately   58,000  square  feet  of  land  suitable  for
development.  We have an option to  purchase  the  property at 95.0% of the then
fair market value of the property.

     We also have  approximately  ten and one-half years remaining on a right of
first offer to develop (or develop and acquire an ownership  interest in) all or
any portion of approximately 360 acres of undeveloped office and industrial land
in Huntley, Illinois. The right of first offer will apply to the extent that PGI
determines  that a parcel will be utilized for the  construction of an office or
industrial  facility  to be owned and leased to third  parties by PGI or held by
PGI for sale to a third party.  The site is subject to a participation  interest
held by an unaffiliated third-party lender.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions (continued)

     The option and right of first offer may be exercised only with the approval
of our  independent  Trustees.  PGI leases  22,620 square feet of space at 77 W.
Wacker  Drive,  Chicago,  Illinois,  an  office  building  owned  by  one of the
Company’s  unconsolidated  real estate  joint  ventures.  PGI paid rent and
operating expense  escalations to the joint venture totaling  approximately $0.8
million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999.  PGI’s  lease
expires October 31, 2007 with an option,  effective April 30, 2002, to terminate
the lease upon six months written notice.

     During 2001 and ending  February 2002, we subleased a portion of PGI’s
space pursuant to a month-to-month  lease for an approximate annual rent of $0.2
million.

     Issuance of Limited Partner Common Units to Affiliates of Stephen J. Nardi.
Pursuant to an agreement  with the The Nardi  Group,  L.L.C.,  (the  “Nardi
Group”), a limited liability company controlled by Stephen J. Nardi, one of
our Trustees, and to the approval of our shareholders at our 2000 Annual Meeting
of Shareholders,  on August 8, 2000, the Nardi Group’s 927,100 common units
of general  partner  interest in the Operating  Partnership  were converted into
927,100 limited partner common units which are by their terms  exchangeable  for
common shares on a one-for-one basis, or, at our option,  cash equivalent to the
fair market  value of a common share at the time of  exchange.  In addition,  in
connection  with  various  purchases  of land  described  above,  the  Operating
Partnership  issued an aggregate of 1,096,260  limited  partner  common units to
affiliates of Mr. Nardi.

     We and certain  affiliates  of the Nardi Group  entered  into a vacant land
agreement in  connection  with the  contribution  of certain  properties  to our
Operating  Partnership at the time of our initial public  offering.  Pursuant to
the  agreement,  we are  obligated  to  purchase,  over a five-year  period that
commenced in November 1997, an aggregate of  approximately  95.0 acres of vacant
land in Carol  Stream and Batavia,  Illinois  for a purchase  price of $3.00 per
square  foot,  which  is to be  paid  for  in  common  units  in  our  Operating
Partnership.  Under the agreement,  we acquired approximately 40.5 acres of such
land in 1999 for a purchase price of approximately  $5.4 million (359,252 common
units and $0.1 million cash).  In March 2000, we acquired  another 29.6 acres of
land under this  agreement for a purchase  price of  approximately  $3.8 million
(272,126 common units). Further, under the agreement, in March 2002, we acquired
approximately 24.9 acres of such land for a purchase price of approximately $3.3
million  (344,331 common units).  Our obligations  under this contract have been
satisfied.

     Tax Indemnification  Agreements.  The Operating  Partnership entered into a
tax indemnification  agreement with certain principals affiliated with Edward S.
Hadesman,  one of our executive  officers,  which  contributed  properties to us
during our initial public offering  (“IBD  Contributors”)  pursuant to
which the we are required to indemnify  the IBD  Contributors  for,  among other
things, the income tax liability that would result from the income or gain which
they recognize upon the refinancing or repayment by us of its liabilities or the
sale or other  disposition by us of the properties they  contributed.  Under the
terms of the  agreement,  we will  indemnify  the IBD  Contributors  for certain
income tax liabilities  based on income or gain which the IBD  Contributors  are
required  to  include in their  gross  income  for  federal or state  income tax
purposes as a result of a such an event.  This  indemnity  covers  these  income
taxes,  interest  and  penalties  and is required to be made on a  “grossed
up”  basis that effectively  results in the IBD Contributors  receiving the
indemnity  payment  on a  net,  after-tax  basis.  The  percentage  of  the  tax
liabilities  which the we are  required to indemnify is 70% for the taxable year
ending on December 31,  2001,  and  declines by 10% each year  thereafter  until
December 31, 2007.  We are not required to indemnify  the IBD  Contributors  for
income or gain realized by them after the taxable year ended  December 31, 2007.
We estimate our maximum possible  exposure at December 31, 2001 is $9.0 million.

     We entered into a tax  indemnification  agreement  with certain  principals
affiliated  with Mr. Nardi (the “NAC  Contributors”)  who  contributed
properties to us during our initial  public  offering,  pursuant to which we are
required to indemnify the NAC Contributors  for, among other things,  the income
tax  liability  that would  result from the income or gain which they  recognize
upon the  refinancing or repayment by us of its liabilities on the sale or other
disposition by the us of the properties they contributed. Under the terms of the
agreement,  we will indemnify the NAC  Contributors  for certain tax liabilities
based on income or gain which the NAC  Contributors  are  required to include in
their gross income for federal,  applicable  state and certain  local income tax
purposes as a result of such an event.  In connection with the conversion of the
Nardi  Group’s  general  partner  common units into limited  partner common
units  as  described  above,  our tax  indemnification  agreement  with  the NAC
Contributors  was  amended  to  provide  that the tax  indemnification  by us is
reduced  by 10% per  year  over  the  10-year  term  of the tax  indemnification
agreement,  effective  retroactively  from the date of the IPO.  This  indemnity
covers these income taxes,  interest and penalties and is required to be made on
a “grossed  up” basis that effectively results in the IBD Contributors
receiving the indemnity payment on a net, after-tax basis. The percentage of the
tax  liabilities  which we are required to indemnify is 70% for the taxable year
ended on December  31,  2001,  and  declines by 10% each year  thereafter  until
December 31, 2007.  We are not required to indemnify  the NAC  Contributors  for
income or gain realized by them after the taxable year ended  December 31, 2007.
We estimate our maximum  possible  exposure under this indemnity at December 31,
2001 is $15.8 million.

     Other Transactions.  Two affiliates of Mr. Nardi leased space at two of our
buildings for an aggregate  annual rent of  approximately  $1.3 million in 2000.
One  affiliate  leased  space at one of our  buildings  in 2001 for an aggregate
annual rent of approximately $0.6 million.

     On or about  September 26, 2000, an affiliate of PGI closed on the purchase
of  the  40%  partnership  interest  in  Primestone  held  by  an  affiliate  of
Blackstone.  Primestone,  which owns the 7,944,893 Primestone Units, was created
in  connection  with our  initial  public  offering as a joint  venture  between
affiliates of PGI and Blackstone.  PGI is a privately held company controlled by
Mr. Reschke. Primestone secured financing for the transaction from affiliates of
Prudential     Securities     Incorporated     and    Vornado    Realty    Trust
(“Vornado”).  As a result of the  transaction,  PGI and its affiliates
own 100% of  Primestone,  making  PGI our  largest  equity  holder  through  the
Primestone  Units. The Primestone Units are convertible into common shares, on a
one-for-one basis or, at our option, in cash equal to the fair market value of a
common share at the time of exchange.

     As part of the financing for the transaction,  PGI’s lenders requested
certain  consents and other  agreements  relating to us. These  requests are set
forth above in the section entitled “Business -- Recent Developments.”

     To address the Subordinate  Lender’s request, the independent Trustees
retained an  independent  financial  advisor and  independent  legal  counsel to
advise the independent  Trustees as to the  reasonableness  and fairness of such
requests.   This   request  is  set  forth   above  in  the   section   entitled
“Business--Recent Developments.”

     We are  aware  of  environmental  contamination  at  certain  of its  older
industrial properties  contributed to it as an equity contribution by PGI during
our initial public offering.  These environmental matters are set forth above in
the  section  entitled   “Business--Government   Regulations--Environmental
Matters.”

     Governor  James R.  Thompson,  one of our Trustees,  is Chairman of the law
firm of Winston &  Strawn, which has provided, and continues to provide,
legal services to us. Winston  &  Strawn earned fees of $2.8 million for
legal services provided to us in 2001.
Critical Accounting Policies

     General.  The previous  discussion and analysis of our financial  condition
and results of operations are based upon our consolidated  financial statements,
which have been  prepared in accordance  with  accounting  principles  generally
accepted in the United  States.  The  preparation  of our  financial  statements
requires  us to make  estimates  and  judgments  about the effects of matters or
future events that are inherently  uncertain.  These estimates and judgments may
affect the reported amounts of assets,  liabilities,  revenues and expenses, and
related  disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an on-going basis,
we evaluate our estimates, including contingencies and litigation. We base these
estimates on  historical  experience  and on various other  assumptions  that we
believe to be  reasonable in the  circumstances,  the results of which and these
estimates  form the basis for  making  judgments  about the  carrying  values of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual
results  may  differ  from  these  estimates  under  different   assumptions  or
conditions.

     To  assist  in  understanding  our  results  of  operations  and  financial
position, we have identified our critical accounting policies and discussed them
below.  These  accounting  policies are most  important to the  portrayal of our
results  and  financial  position,  either  because of the  significance  of the
financial  statement  items to which they  relate or because  they  require  our
management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.

     Allowance   for   Doubtful   Accounts.   We  monitor  the   liquidity   and
creditworthiness  of our tenants on an ongoing basis. We maintain allowances for
doubtful accounts using the specific  identification method for estimated losses
resulting from the inability of certain of our tenants to make payments required
by the terms of their respective leases. No general reserve is recorded.  If the
financial  condition of our tenants were to deteriorate,  additional  allowances
may be required.

     Deferred  Tax Asset.  We account for income  taxes  payable by our Services
Company in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”
which  requires that  deferred tax assets and  liabilities  be recognized  using
enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary  differences  between the book and
tax bases of recorded  assets and  liabilities.  SFAS No. 109 also requires that
deferred  tax assets be reduced by a  valuation  allowance  if it is more likely
than  not  that  some  portion  or all of the  deferred  tax  asset  will not be
realized. At December 31, 2001, we had deferred tax assets in excess of deferred
tax  liabilities of $3.2 million  (included in other assets in our  consolidated
balance sheet).

     We evaluate  quarterly  the  realizability  of our  deferred  tax assets by
assessing the valuation  allowance and by adjusting the amount of the allowance,
if necessary.  The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization  are our
forecast of future  taxable  income and available tax planning  strategies  that
could be  implemented to realize the net deferred tax. We have used tax planning
strategies  to  realize or renew net  deferred  tax assets in order to avoid the
potential loss of future tax benefits.

     Approximately  $8.0 million of future taxable income earned by our Services
Company  is  ultimately  required  to  realize  the net  deferred  tax assets at
December  31,  2001.  This is based on the  recognition  in future  years by the
Services  Company of  taxable  income  anticipated  from  certain  build to suit
activities  and  management  fees  earned on two of our  properties.  Failure to
achieve forecasted  taxable income might affect the ultimate  realization of the
net deferred tax assets described above.  Factors that may affect our ability to
achieve sufficient  forecasted  taxable income include,  but are not limited to,
unanticipated  decreases in the profitability of build to suit activities and/or
the sale of properties and subsequent loss of the related management contracts.

     Assumed  Lease  Liabilities.  As a result  of the  negotiation  of  certain
leases, we assumed the liability for the  tenants’  obligation or agreed to
reimburse the  tenants’  for their obligation under leases with their prior
landlords.  In  addition,  in  connection  with the sale of  certain  industrial
properties in 1999, we agreed to a master lease agreement for certain properties
for a defined period.  Our Services  Company agreed to a similar  arrangement in
February 2002 in connection with a contract to sell an industrial property.  Our
policy is to record  the  estimated  net  obligation  we may be  subject to as a
liability.  The net obligation is derived by calculating  our total  contractual
obligation  and  reducing  the amount by existing  subleases  and an estimate of
subleases we anticipate  signing in the future based on the nature of the space,
the property and market conditions.  We periodically  review these estimates for
reasonableness  based on changes in market  conditions  and executed  subleases.
Failure to achieve  forecasted  results  could lead to a future  increase in the
liabilities associated with these transactions.

     Provisions  for  Impairment.  In evaluating our assets for  impairment,  in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting  Standards  (“SFAS”)
No.  121,  “Accounting  for the  Impairment  of  Long-Lived  Assets and for
Long-Lived  Assets  to Be  Disposed  Of,”  we record  impairment  losses on
long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that
the assets might be impaired  and the  undiscounted  cash flows  estimated to be
generated by those assets are less than the  carrying  amounts of those  assets.
Impairment losses are measured as the difference between carrying value and fair
value of assets.  Beginning in 2002, we will follow the guidance of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards  (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for
the  Impairment  or Disposal  of  Long-Lived  Assets”.  Under SFAS No. 144,
assets which display  indicators of possible  impairment  are reviewed to see if
their net book  value  will be  recovered  from  estimated  cash  flows  over an
anticipated hold period.  If these cash flows,  plus the proceeds from a sale at
the end of the anticipated hold period,  are less than the net book value of our
related  asset,  our policy is to record an  impairment  reserve  related to the
asset  in the  amount  of the  difference  between  its net book  value  and our
estimate of its fair market value, less costs of sale.

     In  evaluating  our assets for  impairment at December 31, 2001, we assumed
anticipated  hold  periods  of three  to five  years  for many of our  operating
properties  and concluded no reserve was warranted for these  properties at this
time. However, as discussed under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” we
may  need to sell  assets  to meet  our  liquidity  needs  during  2002.  If our
anticipated hold periods for certain assets were shortened,  impairment reserves
would  be  required.  These  reserves  would  have  significant  impacts  on our
operating results.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

     On January 1, 2001, we adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards
(“SFAS”)  No. 133,  “Accounting  for Derivative  Instruments  and
Hedging  Activities,”  as amended  by SFAS No.  138,  “Accounting  for
Certain Derivative  Instruments and Certain Hedging  Activities.”  SFAS No.
133, as amended,  established  accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments.  Specifically,  SFAS No. 133  requires an entity to  recognize  all
derivatives  as either  assets or  liabilities  in the  statement  of  financial
position and to measure those instruments at fair value. Additionally,  the fair
value  adjustments  will affect either  shareholders’  equity or net income
depending  on  whether  the  derivative  instrument  qualifies  as a  hedge  for
accounting  purposes  and,  if so,  the  nature of the  hedging  activity.  Upon
adoption  of SFAS 138 and SFAS 133, we  recorded  as a  cumulative  effect of an
accounting change a net transition adjustment  (unrealized loss) of $0.5 million
in net income,  and a  transition  adjustment  of $3.2 million as an increase in
accumulated other comprehensive loss. Adoption of the standard resulted in a net
transition  adjustment of $3.8 million on our balance sheet  reflected as a $0.5
million  reduction in deferred costs, a $1.4 million  reduction in investment in
unconsolidated  entities  and a deferred  hedge  liability of $1.9  million.  In
August 2001, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued final guidance on
the  accounting  for options used as hedges under SFAS No. 133. This guidance is
pursuant to Derivatives  Implementation  Group Issue No. G20  (“G20”).
Provided  certain  criteria are met,  options can be considered  fully effective
hedging vehicles,  with gains and losses due to changes in market value recorded
in other accumulated  comprehensive income on our balance sheet. On September 1,
2001, we adopted G20 for its interest  rate hedge  instruments.  Any  subsequent
unrealized  gains or losses due to changes in market  value of options,  such as
interest  rate caps,  will be  recorded in the other  accumulated  comprehensive
income.

     In October  2001,  the FASB issued  Statement No. 144,  Accounting  for the
Impairment  or Disposal of  Long-Lived  Assets  (“FAS  144”).  FAS 144
supersedes  FASB Statement No. 121,  Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to Be  Disposed  Of,  however it retains  the
fundamental  provisions  of  that  statement  related  to  the  recognition  and
measurement  of  the  impairment  of  long-lived  assets  to be  “held  and
used.” In addition, FAS 144 provides more guidance on estimating cash flows
when performing a  recoverability  test,  requires that a long-lived asset to be
disposed of other than by sale (e.g.  abandoned) be classified as “held and
used” until it is disposed of, and established more restrictive criteria to
classify  an  asset as  “held  for  sale.”  FAS 144 is  effective  for
year-ends  beginning  after  December 15, 2001.  We will adopt FAS 144 effective
January  1,  2002  and do not  expect  a  material  impact  on our  consolidated
financial statements. 
Inflation

     Substantially  all of our office and industrial  leases require  tenants to
pay, as  additional  rent,  a portion of any  increases in real estate taxes and
operating  expenses  over a base  amount.  In  addition,  many of the office and
industrial   leases  provide  for  fixed  increases  in  base  rent  or  indexed
escalations  (based on the Consumer Price Index or other  measures).  We believe
that inflationary  increases in expenses will be offset, in part, by the expense
reimbursements and contractual rent increases described above.

     As of December 31, 2001,  approximately  $519.4 million of our  outstanding
indebtedness was subject to interest at floating rates.  Future indebtedness may
also be subject to floating  rate  interest.  The  floating  rate debt  includes
$155.2 million  subject to an interest rate swap  agreement,  which  effectively
results in a fixed rate of 8.0%, $140.9 million subject to various interest rate
cap agreements and $67.0 million  subject to an interest rate collar  agreement.
Inflation, and its impact on floating interest rates, could affect the amount of
interest payments due on such indebtedness.

ITEM 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     The following  table provides  information  about our derivative  financial
instruments  and other  financial  instruments  that are sensitive to changes in
interest rates. For our mortgage note receivable, mortgage notes payable, credit
facilities and bonds payable, the table presents principal cash flows, including
principal amortization,  and related weighted-average interest rates by expected
maturity  dates as of  December  31,  2001.  This table  reflects  the waiver or
modification  of certain of our loan covenants  during the first quarter of 2002
as without these waivers or  modifications  certain  maturities  would have been
accelerated.  For the interest rate protection agreement, the table presents the
notional amount entered into and the lock rate.

(1)  Based upon the rates in effect  December  31,  2001,  the  weighted-average
     interest  rates,   including  the  interest  rate  swap,   collar  and  cap
     agreements, on our mortgage notes payable and bonds payable at December 31,
     2001 were 7.38% and 4.09%, respectively.  If interest rates on our variable
     rate debt increased by one percentage  point, our annual interest  incurred
     (including the effects of the interest rate  protection  agreements)  would
     increase by $3.2 million.
(2)  See  Note  3  to  our  consolidated  financial  statements  for  additional
     information.
(3)  The bonds payable of $48.2 million and $9.0 million are  collateralized  by
     letters  of  credit  of  $48.8  million  and  $9.3  million,  respectively,
     incurring annual fees of 3.00% and quarterly extension fees,  respectively.
     The scheduled  maturity date for the bonds is 2022 ($48.2 million) and 2014
     ($9.0 million). The earlier maturity dates shown here reflect the scheduled
     expiration  of letters of credit which credit  enhance the bonds,  which if
     not extended or replaced,  would have accelerated maturity of the bonds. On
     January 2, 2002,  we purchased  $23.3  million of the $48.2  million  bonds
     payable  and we  obtained  replacement  letters  of  credit  enhancing  the
     remaining bonds ($24.9 million).  The replacement  letters of credit have a
     maturity date of January 2, 2007.
(4)  The cap effect of this collar  agreement is  effectively  eliminated by our
     sale of an interest  rate cap for a notional  amount of $65.0 million which
     matured on January 31, 2002.  Concurrent  with the sale, we entered into an
     interest  rate cap for a notional  amount of $67.0 million which capped the
     interest  rate at a LIBOR index rate of 6.50%.  The interest rate cap which
     matured on January 31, 2002 was extended on December 6, 2001 until  January
     31, 2003.
(5)  On August 22, 2001,  we entered into an interest rate cap agreement for the
     period from January 22, 2002  through  January 5, 2004.  The interest  rate
     under the terms of the agreement is capped at the LIBOR index rate of 4.25%
     increasing to 7.4% over the term of the cap agreement.  The notional amount
     of the cap begins at $81.0 million and  increases  over the term of the cap
     agreement to a maximum of $230.0 million, based on increases anticipated in
     the  construction  loan  during  the  expected  construction  period of the
     property.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Board of Trustees
Prime Group Realty Trust

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Prime Group
Realty  Trust as of  December  31, 2001 and 2000,  and the related  consolidated
statements of operations,  shareholders’  equity and cash flows for each of
the  three  years  in the  period  ended  December  31,  2001.  These  financial
statements are the responsibility of Prime Group Realty Trust’s management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based
on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance  with  auditing  standards  generally
accepted in the 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.  An
audit also includes  assessing the accounting  principles  used and  significant
estimates  made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial
statement  presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable  basis
for our opinion.

     In our opinion,  the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material  respects,  the consolidated  financial  position of Prime Group
Realty Trust at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated  results of its
operations  and its cash flows for each of the three  years in the period  ended
December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting  principles  generally accepted
in the United States.

     The accompanying  financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the
holder of the Company’s 2,000,000 Series A-Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Shares of beneficial  interest currently has the right to require the redemption
of the shares.  Additionally,  the Company has experienced  short-term liquidity
problems.  These conditions  raise  substantial  doubt about the  Company’s
ability to continue  as a going  concern.  Management’s  plans in regard to
these  matters are also  described in Note 2. The  financial  statements  do not
include  any   adjustments  to  reflect  the  possible  future  effects  on  the
recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of
liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

     As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated  financial statements,  in 2001,
the Company  changed its method of accounting  for  derivative  instruments  and
hedging activities.

                                                          /s/Ernst & Young LLP

qualified as a real estate  investment trust ("REIT")  beginning with the period
ended  December 31, 1997,  under the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
for Federal income tax purposes. On November 17, 1997, the Company completed its
initial public  offering and contributed the net proceeds to Prime Group Realty,
L.P.  (the  "Operating  Partnership")  in  exchange  for  preferred  and  common
partnership interests.In 1998, the Company issued
and sold  2,579,994  common  shares,  granted  25,000  common  shares to certain
employees and trustees and issued and sold 4,000,000 of its Series  B-cumulative
redeemable  preferred  shares and  contributed the net proceeds to the Operating
Partnership in exchange for the same number of common units and preferred  units
of  partnership  interest.  In addition,  during 1998,  the Company  repurchased
474,200 of its common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $7,267, pursuant
to a common share repurchase program the Company  established in September 1998.
On January 8, 1999, the Company filed its initial shelf  registration  statement

and 59.4% and 59.2% of the common  units  issued at December  31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.  Each  preferred  unit and common  unit  entitles  the  Company to
receive distributions from the Operating Partnership.  Distributions declared or
paid to  holders  of common  shares  and  preferred  shares  are based upon such
distributions  the  Company  receives  with  respect  to its  common  units  and
preferred units.During 2000, an affiliate
of one of the Company's Board members  exchanged 927,100 common units of general
partner  interest  of the  Operating  Partnership  for 927,100  common  units of
limited partner  interest.  These common units of limited  partner  interest are
exchangeable  on a  one-for-one  basis,  for common  shares or, at the Company's
option,  cash  equivalent to the fair market value of a common share at the time
of  exchange.  In  connection  with  the  modification,  a  tax  indemnification
agreement with the affiliate was amended to provide that the tax indemnification
by the Operating Partnership is reduced by 10% per year over the 10-year term of
the tax indemnification  agreement,  effective  retroactively from the Company's
initial public  offering.  In addition,  the  affiliate's  put option  agreement
allowing the affiliate to put the general  partner common units to the Operating
Partnership was terminated.In  September 2000, an
affiliate  of The  Prime  Group,  Inc.  ("PGI")  purchased  the 40%  partnership
interest  held  by  an  affiliate  of  Blackstone  Real  Estate  Advisors,  L.P.
("Blackstone"),  in  Primestone  Investment  Partners L.P.  ("Primestone").  The
affiliate of PGI had already owned 60% of Primestone.  Primestone owns 7,944,893
limited  partner  common  units  (the  "Primestone   Units")  of  the  Operating
Partnership  and was created in  connection  with the Company's  initial  public
offering as a joint venture between  affiliates of PGI and Blackstone.  PGI is a
privately  held company  controlled by Michael W.  Reschke,  the Chairman of the
Company's Board of Trustees.  Primestone  secured  financing for the transaction
from affiliates of Prudential  Securities  Incorporated and Vornado Realty Trust
("Subordinate  Lender").  As a result  of the  transaction,  PGI is now the 100%
owner of  Primestone,  making PGI the  Operating  Partnership's  second  largest
equity holder through the Primestone Units. The Primestone Units are convertible
into the Company's  common shares,  on a one-for-one  basis or, at the Company's
option,  in cash  equivalent  to the fair market  value of a common share at the
time of exchange,  subject to the Company's 9.9% ownership  limitation contained
in the Company's charter.As part of PGI's financing
for the transaction,  PGI's lenders  requested and received certain consents and
other  agreements  relating to the Company,  including  (i) a waiver of the 9.9%
common share  ownership  limitation set forth in the Company's  charter;  (ii) a
right of the  Subordinate  Lender to  receive  a  position  on the  Board  (this
position is subject to  re-election  by the Company's  shareholders  in the same
manner as all other  Trustees)  under  certain  events;  and (iii) under certain
events,  including the  Subordinate  Lender becoming the owner of the Primestone
Units after a successful  foreclosure  action,  that Mr.  Reschke and Richard S.
Curto, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and one of the Company's  Trustees,
had agreed to tender their  resignations to the Board. On November 13, 2001, Mr.
Reschke and Mr. Curto  delivered  written  notices to the Board stating that Mr.
Reschke  and Mr.  Curto  were  rescinding  the  resignation  letters  previously
delivered  by them to the  Subordinate  Lender and gave notice to the Board that
both  individuals  no longer  intended  to resign from their  current  executive
positions  with the  Company  or from the  Board.  On  December  20,  2001,  the
Subordinate  Lender delivered the original,  signed  resignation  letters of Mr.
Reschke and Mr. Curto to the Trust. The Board of the Company then consulted with
its outside legal counsel,  who advised the Board that in light of the fact that
Messrs.  Reschke  and Curto  clearly do not intend to  resign,  the  resignation
letters   delivered  by  the   Subordinate   Lender  do  not  constitute   valid
resignations.  Consistent with this advice of counsel,  the Board took no action
with respect to the resignation letters.

Basis of Presentation

The Company's  consolidated
financial  statements  include  all of its  accounts,  including  the  Operating
Partnership and the other entities in which the Company has control or for which
the  Company  receives  all  economic  benefits  through  its  ownership  of the
entities' mortgage notes. The preparation of financial  statements in conformity
with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the United States  requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and  liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial  statements  and the reported  amounts of revenues and
expenses  during the reporting  period.  Actual  results could differ from those
estimates.Investments in corporations
and  partnerships  in which the Company does not have  operational  control or a
majority    interest   are    accounted    for   on   the   equity   method   of
accounting.Significant  intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.Certain  amounts in the
prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform
to the current period presentation, with no effect on the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.Commencing  on January 2,
2001, Prime Group Realty Services,  Inc. (the "Services  Company") elected to be
treated as a Taxable REIT Subsidiary as defined under the Internal Revenue Code,
as amended.  On January 1, 2001, the Operating  Partnership  acquired all of the
outstanding  common stock of the Services  Company and had the Services  Company
redeem all of the preferred stock  outstanding  previously held by the Operating
Partnership.  The  Company  now  consolidates  the  operations  of the  Services
Company.The Company indirectly owns
a significant  interest in an entity which owns 100% of the development  project
known  as  Dearborn  Center,  located  in  Chicago,  Illinois.  This  entity  is
consolidated by the Company.

Real Estate

Depreciation is calculated
on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets, which are
as follows:
Building and improvements           40 years
Tenant improvements                 Term of related leases
Furniture and equipment             3-7 years

Development costs, which
include land acquisition  costs, fees and other costs incurred in developing new
properties,  are  capitalized  as incurred.  Upon  completion  of  construction,
development costs are included in buildings and improvements and are depreciated
over the useful lives of the  respective  properties on a  straight-line  basis.
Interest,  financing costs,  real estate taxes,  other direct costs and indirect
costs  (including  certain employee  compensation  costs and related general and
administrative  expenses) incurred during development periods are capitalized as
a component of the building costs. Real estate is carried at
depreciated cost. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed
to  operations  as incurred.  Significant  renovations  and  improvements  which
improve  and/or  extend  the  useful  life  of the  asset  are  capitalized  and
depreciated  over their  estimated  useful life. In accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards  (“SFAS”) No. 121, “Accounting for
the  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to Be Disposed
Of,”  the Company records  impairment  losses on long-lived  assets used in
operations  when  events and  circumstances  indicate  that the assets  might be
impaired  and the  undiscounted  cash flows  estimated  to be generated by those
assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. Impairment losses are
measured as the difference  between carrying value and fair value of assets. For
assets held for sale,  impairment is measured as the difference between carrying
value and fair value,  less costs to dispose.  Fair value is based on  estimated
cash flows  discounted at a  risk-adjusted  rate of interest.  Property held for
future  development  and  property  under  development  are also  evaluated  for
impairment.  Impairment is determined  for  development  costs  associated  with
property held for future  development and property under  development based upon
management’s assessment that these costs have no future value. In October 2001, the FASB
issued  Statement  No.  144,  Accounting  for  the  Impairment  or  Disposal  of
Long-Lived Assets (“FAS  144”).  FAS 144 supersedes FASB Statement No.
121,  Accounting  for the  Impairment  of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of, however it retains the fundamental  provisions of that
statement  related to the  recognition  and  measurement  of the  impairment  of
long-lived assets to be “held and used.” In addition, FAS 144 provides
more guidance on estimating  cash flows when performing a  recoverability  test,
requires  that a  long-lived  asset to be  disposed  of other than by sale (e.g.
abandoned) be classified as “held and  used”  until it is disposed of,
and established more restrictive criteria to classify an asset as “held for
sale.”  FAS 144 is effective for  year-ends  beginning  after  December 15,
2001.  The  Company  will adopt FAS 144  effective  January 1, 2002 and does not
expect a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. 

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased
to be cash equivalents. 

Deferred Costs

Costs incurred in
connection with financings,  refinancings or debt  modifications are capitalized
as deferred  financing costs and are amortized on the straight-line  method over
the lives of the related  loans.  Leasing  commissions  and other  leasing costs
directly attributable to tenant leases are capitalized as deferred leasing costs
and are  amortized  on the  straight-line  method  over the terms of the related
lease agreements. 

Leases Assumed

In connection with certain
tenant leases,  the Company has assumed the liability for the remaining terms of
the tenants’  existing leases in their previous  location.  The Company has
recorded a  liability  at  December  31,  2001 of  approximately  $5,976 for the
difference  between total  remaining  costs for leases  assumed and the expected
benefits from subleases of the assumed lease  properties.  The related incentive
to the lessee has been  capitalized as a deferred  charge and is being amortized
to rental revenue over the life of the respective lease. The deferred charge and
related  liability  are  adjusted  for  changes in the  expected  benefits  from
subleases. 

Rental Revenue

Rental revenue is recorded
on the  straight-line  method over the terms of the related lease agreements for
new leases and the remaining terms of existing  leases for acquired  properties.
Differences  between  rental  revenue  earned and amounts due per the respective
lease  agreements  are  credited or charged,  as  applicable,  to deferred  rent
receivable.  Rental payments  received prior to their  recognition as income are
classified as rent received in advance. 

Revenue Recognition

In December 1999, the
Securities and Exchange  Commission  (the  “Commission”)  issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (“SAB 101”),  “Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements.”  SAB 101 summarizes certain of the Commission’s
views  in  applying   generally  accepted   accounting   principles  to  revenue
recognition in financial statements.  The Company adopted SAB 101 retroactive to
January  1, 2000 and  recorded  a charge to income of  $1,843,  net of  minority
interests of $1,140,  representing the cumulative  effect of adopting SAB 101 as
of January 1, 2000. The cumulative  effect  represents income recognized in 1999
and relates to certain  permanent  property  easements  and leasing  activities.
During  2001 and 2000,  respectively,  the Company  recognized  $293 and $487 of
other income (a portion of which is included in other  property  revenues in the
consolidated statements of operations) previously recorded in 1999. Applying the
accounting  change  retroactively  would result in 1999 net income  available to
common  shareholders  of $40,990  ($2.71 per basic and $2.70 per diluted  common
share).  Although the adoption of SAB 101 may impact the period in which certain
revenues are recognized by the Company,  it is not expected to impact the timing
of the Company’s cash flow from operations. 

Interest Rate Protection Agreements

In the normal course of
business,  the Company uses a variety of  derivative  financial  instruments  to
manage,  or hedge,  interest  rate  risk.  The  Company  requires  that  hedging
derivative  instruments be effective in reducing the interest rate risk exposure
that  they  are  designated  to  hedge.  This  effectiveness  is  essential  for
qualifying for hedge accounting. Some derivative instruments are associated with
the hedge of an anticipated  transaction.  In those cases,  hedge  effectiveness
criteria  also  require  that it be  probable  that the  underlying  transaction
occurs.  Instruments that meet these hedging criteria are formally designated as
hedges  at the  inception  of the  derivative  contract.  When  the  terms of an
underlying  transaction are modified,  or when the underlying hedged item ceases
to exist,  all changes in the fair value of the instrument are  marked-to-market
with changes in value  included in net income each period  until the  instrument
matures,   unless  the  instrument  is   redesignated  as  a  hedge  of  another
transaction.  Any derivative  instrument  used for risk management that does not
meet  the  hedging  criteria  is  marked-to-market   each  period  in  earnings.
To determine the fair
values of  derivative  instruments,  the  Company  uses a variety of methods and
assumptions  that are based on market  conditions  and  risks  existing  at each
balance sheet date.  For the majority of financial  instruments  including  most
derivatives,   long-term   investments  and  long-term  debt,   standard  market
conventions and techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing
models, replacement cost, and termination cost are used to determine fair value.
All methods of assessing fair value result in a general  approximation of value,
and such value may never actually be realized. In the normal course of
business,  the Company is exposed to the effect of interest  rate  changes.  The
Company limits these risks by following established risk management policies and
procedures  including  the use of  derivatives.  For  interest  rate  exposures,
derivatives  are used primarily to align rate movements  between  interest rates
associated with the  Company’s  leasing income and other  financial  assets
with  interest  rates on  related  debt,  and to  manage  the cost of  borrowing
obligations. The Company has a policy of
only entering into derivative contracts with major financial  institutions based
upon their credit ratings and other factors. When viewed in conjunction with the
underlying and offsetting  exposure that the  derivatives are designed to hedge,
the Company has not sustained a material loss from those instruments nor does it
anticipate any material  adverse effect on its net income or financial  position
in the future from the use of derivatives. Interest rate hedges, that
are  designated  as cash flow  hedges,  hedge the future cash  outflows on debt.
Interest rate swaps that convert variable  payments to fixed payments,  interest
rate caps,  floors,  collars,  and forwards are cash flow hedges. The unrealized
gains/losses in the fair value of these hedges are reported on the balance sheet
with a corresponding adjustment to either accumulated other comprehensive income
or in earnings,  depending on the type of hedging  relationship.  If the hedging
transaction  is a cash flow  hedge,  then the  offsetting  gains and  losses are
reported in accumulated other  comprehensive  income.  Over time, the unrealized
gains  and  losses  held  in  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  will be
reclassified to earnings.  This  reclassification  is consistent when the hedged
items are also  recognized  in  earnings.  Within the next  twelve  months,  the
Company expects to reclassify to earnings  approximately $275 of amounts held in
accumulated other comprehensive income. If a derivative instrument is terminated
or the hedging transaction is no longer determined to be effective, amounts held
in accumulated  other  comprehensive  income are reclassified into earnings over
the term of the future cash outflows on the related debt. On January 1, 2001, the
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting  Standards  (“SFAS”)
No.   133,    “Accounting   for   Derivative    Instruments   and   Hedging
Activities,”  as  amended by SFAS No.  138,  “Accounting  for  Certain
Derivative  Instruments and Certain Hedging  Activities.”  SFAS No. 133, as
amended,   established   accounting  and  reporting   standards  for  derivative
instruments.  Specifically  SFAS No. 133  requires  an entity to  recognize  all
derivatives  as either  assets or  liabilities  in the  statement  of  financial
position and to measure those instruments at fair value. Additionally,  the fair
value  adjustments  will affect either  shareholders’  equity or net income
depending  on  whether  the  derivative  instrument  qualifies  as a  hedge  for
accounting  purposes  and,  if so,  the  nature of the  hedging  activity.  Upon
adoption of SFAS 138 and SFAS 133, the Company  recorded as a cumulative  effect
of an accounting change a net transition adjustment (unrealized loss) of $539 in
net income, and a transition  adjustment of $3,227 as an increase in accumulated
other  comprehensive loss. Adoption of the standard resulted in a net transition
adjustment  of $3,766 on the balance  sheet  reflected  as a $539  reduction  in
deferred costs, a $1,373 reduction in investment in unconsolidated  entities and
a deferred hedge liability of $1,854. In August 2001, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued final guidance on the accounting for
options  used as hedged  under  SFAS No.  133.  This  guidance  is  pursuant  to
Derivatives  Implementation  Group  Issue No.  G20  (“G20”).  Provided
certain  criteria are met,  options can be considered  fully  effective  hedging
vehicles, with gains and losses due to changes in market value recorded in other
accumulated comprehensive income on the balance sheet. On September 1, 2001, the
Company  adopted G20 for its interest  rate hedge  instruments.  Any  subsequent
unrealized  gains or losses due to changes in market  value of options,  such as
interest  rate caps,  will be  recorded in the other  accumulated  comprehensive
income. On December 31, 2001, the
derivative  instruments  were  reported  at their fair value as other  assets of
$432,  a deferred  hedge  liability  of $6,455,  a reduction  in  investment  in
unconsolidated  entities of $4,677 and accumulated other  comprehensive  loss of
$11,055  ($0.71 per  weighted  average  share).  The  Company  has  recorded  an
unrealized loss of $230 for the year ended December 31, 2001,  which is included
in interest income and other on the statement of operations. 

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share
(“EPS”)  is  calculated  by dividing  net income  available  to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares  outstanding during
the period.  Diluted EPS includes the potentially dilutive effect, if any, which
would occur if  outstanding:  (i) common  share  options  were  exercised,  (ii)
limited  partner  common units in the Operating  Partnership  were exchanged for
common shares, (iii) common share grants were fully-vested, and (iv) convertible
preferred shares were converted into common shares. 

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for
common  share option  grants in  accordance  with  Accounting  Principles  Board
Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”  (“APB
25”).  Under APB 25, no  compensation  expense is recognized for the common
share option grants  because the exercise price of the options equals the market
price of the underlying shares at the date of grant. 

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to
be  taxed  as a  REIT  under  the  Internal  Revenue  Code  of  1986  (“the
Code”), as amended. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to
federal  income tax to the extent that it  distributes  at least 90% of its REIT
taxable  income  to  its  shareholders.   REITs  are  subject  to  a  number  of
organizational and operational requirements.  If the Company fails to qualify as
a REIT in any taxable  year,  the Company will be subject to federal  income tax
(including  any  applicable  alternative  minimum tax) on its taxable  income at
regular corporate tax rates. As of December 31, 2001,
for income tax  purposes,  the  Company’s  real  estate had a gross and net
basis of $820,272 and $734,593,  respectively,  mortgage notes  receivable had a
basis of $40,466,  investment in Real Estate Mortgage  Investment Conduits had a
tax basis of  $51,786,  deferred  costs had a gross and net basis of $47,616 and
$23,884,  respectively,  and  deferred  rent  receivable  had no tax basis.  The
Company’s  investment in  unconsolidated  real estate joint  ventures,  for
income  tax  purposes,  had a gross  and net  basis  of  $126,655  and  $29,549,
respectively. The Company accounts for
income taxes payable by the Services  Company in  accordance  with SFAS No. 109,
“Accounting for Income Taxes”  which requires that deferred tax assets
and  liabilities  be  recognized  using  enacted  tax  rates  for the  effect of
temporary  differences  between  the book and tax bases of  recorded  assets and
liabilities. SFAS No. 109 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a
valuation  allowance  if it is more likely than not that some  portion or all of
the deferred tax asset will not be realized.  At December 31, 2001, the Services
Company had deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax  liabilities of $3,160
(included in other assets on the  consolidated  balance sheet).  At December 31,
2001, the Services Company had net operating loss carry forwards for federal tax
purposes of  approximately  $8,000 which are available to offset future  taxable
income, if any, through 2015. 

2.  Going Concern

As described in Note 7, the
holder of the Company’s 2,000,000 Series A-Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Shares of beneficial interest (“Series A preferred  shares”) currently
has the right to  require  the  redemption  of the  shares,  which  equates to a
redemption value of $40,000, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.  The Company
has  provided  the holder of the Series A  preferred  shares an  increase in the
shares pay rate as an incentive not to exercise its right to require  redemption
of the shares.  However,  the holder  continues to have a  contractual  right to
cause the redemption of the shares at the redemption  value upon ten-day notice.
Management  is  pursuing  various  capital  events,  which,  if  consummated  in
sufficient  amounts,  would  enable  the  Company  to redeem  the  shares if the
redemption  right is  exercised.  However,  there can be no  assurance  that the
holder of the Series A- preferred  shares will not exercise its right to require
the redemption of the shares prior to the Company’s ability to obtain funds
necessary  for  redemption or that the Company will be successful in its efforts
to execute  capital events yielding  proceeds  sufficient to redeem the Series A
preferred shares. As described in Note 5, the
Company’s  debt obligations  require compliance with various financial loan
covenants.  As a result of its financial  results for the quarter and year ended
December 31, 2001,  the Company is not in compliance  with  financial  covenants
contained  in  certain  of its debt  facilities  as of  December  31,  2001.  In
addition, the Company’s anticipated cash flows from operations in 2002 will
not be sufficient to fund the Company’s  anticipated  operating and capital
needs or meet the current debt covenant  requirements in 2002. None of the loans
have been  accelerated  nor, did the Company  receive  notice of the  respective
lender’s intention to accelerate the maturity of the loans. The Company has
either  entered  into  amendments  to  alleviate  the  current  and  anticipated
violations or has received waivers,  which waived the covenant  violations as of
December 31, 2001,  and in certain  circumstances  through  March 31, 2002.  The
waived  covenants   primarily   relate  to  minimum   quarter-end  cash  balance
requirements of $20,000.  The Company’s  ability to meet these covenants in
the future is contingent on its ability to execute certain capital events and on
its future  financial  results.  Management is pursuing  various capital events,
which,  if consummated in sufficient  amounts,  would provide the necessary cash
proceeds  to meet these  covenant  requirements  in  addition  to the  potential
redemption of Series A - preferred shares discussed above. If the capital events
are not  consummated,  or the proceeds are not sufficient to meet the covenants,
management intends to seek additional waivers or modifications from the lenders.
However,  there is no guarantee that the Company will be successful  and/or will
be in compliance  with the loan covenants in the future or that the Company will
be able obtain waivers or amendments of violations at that time. The above conditions raise
substantial  doubt  about the  Company’s  ability  to  continue  as a going
concern.  The financial  statements do not include any adjustment to reflect the
possible future effects on the  recoverability  and  classification of assets or
the amounts and  classification  of liabilities that may result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.

(A)  The mortgage  notes payable are subject to various  operating and financial
     covenants (see Note 16,  Subsequent  Events).  In addition,  the Company is
     required  to  maintain  escrow  accounts to fund future real estate tax and
     other  operating  expense  payments,  which are included in restricted cash
     escrows,   as  well  as  certain   tenant   releasing   costs  and  capital
     expenditures.  The Company has entered into an interest  rate cap agreement
     for the full  term of the loan at a LIBOR  index  rate of  7.25%.  In March
     2001, the Company entered into an agreement to amend a loan collateralized,
     in part,  by a pledge of the first  mortgage loan that we held and which is
     secured  by the  property  known as 180 North  LaSalle  Street in  Chicago,
     Illinois.  The original  commitment  under the loan was  $64,000,  of which
     $52,000 had been disbursed.  Under the terms of the amendment,  the maximum
     loan amount was reduced to $60,000 and the  remaining  $8,000 of  borrowing
     availability  was funded.  Restricted  cash  escrows at  December  31, 2001
     include $2,500 related to this loan for future capital expenditures, tenant
     improvements and lease commissions.  As part of the agreement,  the Company
     agreed to allow the lender to securitize the loan by utilizing a REMIC,  if
     desirable.  The REMIC closed on October 30, 2001 and matures on January 15,
     2004. The lender has transferred the first mortgage loan to the REMIC.  The
     principal amount of the REMIC is $113,700 and is comprised of three classes
     of certificate holders. Class "A" certificates represent the original first
     mortgage holder owning a $60,000 priority interest,  Class "B" certificates
     are owned by us and represent a $53,700 interest subordinate to the Class A
     certificates, and the Class "R" certificates represent any residual amounts
     due to us  upon  any  sale  of the  property  should  net  proceeds  exceed
     $113,700.  The  interest  rate on the Class "A"  certificate  is LIBOR plus
     3.75% and the interest  note on the Class "B"  certificate  is equal to the
     difference  between (i) 16.22% and (ii) the product of LIBOR  multiplied by
     1.1179. Our Services Company acts as the loan servicer for the REMIC and we
     account for our ownership interest on a consolidated basis.

(B)  All of the Company's real estate assets and its mortgage  notes  receivable
     have been pledged as  collateral  for its mortgage  notes payable and bonds
     payable.

(C)  Permanent financing for certain industrial  properties has been provided by
     $48,150 of tax-exempt  industrial  development revenue bonds that mature on
     February 16, 2022. Under the terms of the bond loan agreements, the Company
     makes  interest-only  payments  monthly,  calculated  using a floating rate
     determined  by the  remarketing  agent of the bonds.  The rates ranged from
     1.33% and 4.98% during 2001,  3.09% to 5.97% during 2000 and 2.28% to 5.67%
     during 1999.  The rate at December 31, 2001 was 1.80%.  The maximum  annual
     interest rate on the bonds is 13%. Under certain  conditions,  the interest
     rate  on the  bonds  may be  converted  to a fixed  rate  at the  Company's
     request.

     The  bonds  were  collateralized  by  letters-of-credit  from  a  financial
     institution  totaling  $48,800  which were to expire in January  2002.  The
     letters-of-credit   were   collateralized   by  mortgages  on  the  related
     industrial  facilities  and a $23,000  cash  collateral  account and had an
     annual fee (paid quarterly) of 3.00% of the letters-of-credit  face amounts
     and is  included  in  interest  expense.  On January 2, 2002,  the  Company
     purchased $23,250 of the bonds and obtained  replacement  letters of credit
     having a maturity date of January 2, 2007 to enhance the remaining bonds of
     $24,900.  The  letters of credit are  collateralized  by  mortgages  on the
     related  industrial  facilities  and have an annual fee (paid  annually) of
     2.35% of the letters of credit  face  amounts and which will be included in
     interest expense.  In addition,  the Company has guaranteed all obligations
     under this replacement  letter of credit  facility.  In order to secure the
     obligations under the guarantee, the Company pledged the bonds purchased of
     $23,250 as well as certain property assets.

     The  bondholders  may tender  bonds on any business day during the variable
     interest rate period  discussed above and receive  principal,  plus accrued
     interest,  through the tender date. Upon tender, the remarketing agent will
     immediately remarket the bonds. In the event the remarketing agent fails to
     remarket any bonds,  the Company is obligated to purchase those bonds.  The
     remarketing  agent  receives  a fee of 0.11% per  annum of the  outstanding
     bonds balance, payable quarterly in advance.

(D)  Permanent  financing  for certain  office  properties  has been provided by
     $26,300 of tax-exempt industrial revenue bonds. During 2000, $17,300 of the
     bonds were repaid with proceeds  from the sales of the related  properties.
     The  remaining  $9,000  of  bonds  mature  on  December  1,  2014  and  are
     collateralized  by  letters-of-credit  totaling $9,300 which are subject to
     quarterly  extension fees. The  letters-of-credit  are  collateralized by a
     cash escrow account of $6,730 at December 31, 2001.  Under the terms of the
     bond  agreements,   the  Company  makes  interest-only   payments  monthly,
     calculated using a floating rate determined by the remarketing agent of the
     bonds.  The rates ranged from 1.45% to 4.50%  during  2001,  3.55% to 5.50%
     during 2000 and 3.05% to 4.55% during  1999.  The rate at December 31, 2001
     was 1.45%. Under certain conditions, the interest rates on the bonds may be
     converted to a fixed rate at the Company's request.

     Under the terms of the bond agreements,  the bondholders have the option to
     require the  Company to purchase  any of their bonds on the 15th day of any
     month  while  the  bonds  are   outstanding.   Upon  the  exercise  of  the
     bondholders'  option to  require  the  Company  to redeem  the  bonds,  the
     remarketing  agent will  immediately  remarket the bonds.  In the event the
     remarketing  agent fails to remarket the bonds, the Company is obligated to
     purchase  those bonds.  The  remarketing  agent receives a fee of 0.10% per
     annum  of the  outstanding  balance  of the  bonds,  payable  quarterly  in
     advance.

(E)  Both  construction  facilities  related to the Dearborn  Center project are
     subject  to  various  financial  covenants.   The  construction   mezzanine
     facility's  additional  accrual  interest  rate  ranges from 9.5% and 13.0%
     dependent upon certain leasing levels thresholds.  In addition, the Company
     is required  to  maintain  various  escrow  accounts to fund future  tenant
     commitments.  A $3,000 escrow, as amended, was established in 2001 with the
     mezzanine  lender  as a  contingency  against  possible  construction  cost
     overruns on Dearborn  Center.  In addition,  an $8,800 cash escrow is being
     established  with the  construction  lender over time for  certain  leasing
     commissions and tenant  improvement costs related to the Company's sublease
     obligation at One North Wacker Drive.  As of December 31, 2001,  $5,800 has
     been deposited into this escrow.

During the years ended
December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company wrote-off deferred financing costs
of $230,  $3,523 and $1,836,  respectively,  net of accumulated  amortization of
$217,  $1,620 and $945,  respectively.  These write-offs  resulted from mortgage
notes,  bonds payable and a  line-of-credit  that were repaid or refinanced.  The
total of these  write-offs  has been reflected as an  extraordinary  loss in the
2001,  2000 and 1999  statements  of income,  net of minority  interests of $93,
$1,347 and $754, respectively. Total interest paid on the
mortgage notes payable,  bonds payable and  construction  financing was $69,756,
$69,143  and  $49,566  for the years ended  December  31,  2001,  2000 and 1999,
respectively.  During the years ended  December  31,  2001,  2000 and 1999,  the
Company incurred interest expense of $75,726, $69,988 and $50,634, respectively,
of which  $23,875,  $14,232 and  $7,986,  respectively,  related to  development
projects, was capitalized . In 1998, the Company
entered into two treasury lock  agreements  with two financial  institutions  to
lock certain debt  instruments  at the interest rate on ten-year  Treasury Notes
effective on the date of the agreements to provide  interest rate  protection on
future debt financings. One of these agreements was entered into in anticipation
of a planned  future  securitization  of a $170,000  loan related to the 77 West
Wacker Drive  building,  and had a lock rate of 5.364%.  The other agreement was
entered into in  anticipation  of $160,000 in debt related to the acquisition of
IBM Plaza,  had a lock rate of 4.732% and was to expire on March 19,  1999.  The
Company  made  deposits as required by the  agreements,  totaling  approximately
$14,641.  The deposits  were  exclusive of a $2,000 credit  threshold  described
below.  The  $170,000  agreement  was to expire on February  18,  1999,  but was
extended to April 15, 1999.  At that time,  the lock rate was modified to 5.016%
and the credit  threshold  reduced  from $2,000 to $500.  On March 1, 1999,  the
Company  terminated  the $160,000  treasury lock  agreement due to the change in
terms and timing of the IBM Plaza  purchase.  Approximately  $557 on deposit was
forfeited at the time of  termination.  On May 11, 1999, the Company  terminated
the  $170,000  treasury  lock  agreement  due to  changes in timing of a planned
future loan  securitization  related to the 77 West Wacker Drive  building.  The
termination  resulted in a net settlement  and gain upon  termination of $1,172.
The net gain of $615 from the two  terminations  has been included as a net gain
in other income in the statement of income for the year ended December 31, 1999.
During the period January 1, 1999 through May 11, 1999, the Company received net
cash  settlements  of  approximately  $15,256  ($7,094  related to the  $170,000
agreement,  and $8,162 related to the $160,000 treasury lock agreement)  related
to both treasury lock agreements. On January 31, 1999, the
Company  entered  into an interest  rate collar  agreement,  with respect to the
property  at 33 West  Monroe  Street  in  Chicago,  Illinois,  that  hedged  the
Company’s interest rate exposure with respect to the variable rate mortgage
note secured by the 33 West Monroe property. The interest rate ceiling under the
agreement is based on a LIBOR index rate of 7.50% and the interest rate floor is
based on a LIBOR index rate of 3.73%. This agreement is for an original notional
amount of $65,000 and its term is coincident  with the  aforementioned  variable
rate mortgage note (January 31, 1999 through  January 31, 2002). On November 15,
2000, the underlying note was refinanced with the proceeds of a $67,000 variable
rate mortgage note. The interest rate collar agreement remained in place and was
designated to the new loan in conjunction  with an additional  interest rate cap
agreement.  (See November 15, 2000 hedge agreement  activity described below for
further discussion). On November 1, 1999, the
Company  entered  into an interest  rate collar  agreement,  with respect to the
property  at 77 West  Wacker  Drive in  Chicago,  Illinois,  for the period from
November 1, 1999 through September 30, 2002 with a financial  institution for an
original  notional  amount of  $170,000.  The interest  rate  ceiling  under the
agreement is based on a LIBOR index rate of 7.75% and the interest rate floor is
based on a LIBOR  index  rate of  5.62%.  On  November  22,  1999,  the  Company
transferred  the $170,000  interest rate collar  agreement to an  unconsolidated
real estate joint venture which owns the property and related  indebtedness.  On
November 10, 1999,  the joint venture  entered into an additional  interest rate
collar agreement for the period from October 1, 2002 through  September 30, 2004
with a financial  institution for an original  notional amount of $157,500.  The
interest  rate  ceiling  under the  agreement  is based on a LIBOR index rate of
7.75%  and the  interest  floor is based on a LIBOR  index  rate of  6.10%.  The
$157,500  collar  agreement  requires  the joint  venture  to make  cash  escrow
deposits to the extent that the instrument’s  valuation decreases more than
$5,000.  As of December  31, 2001,  no deposits  were  required  relating to the
$170,000 and the $157,000 collar agreements.  On March 12, 2001, the Company was
replaced by its joint  venture  partner as the  guarantor to the  counterparties
related to these collar agreements. If the Company’s joint venture partner,
as guarantor,  were required to pay either of the counterparties under the terms
of the interest rate collar agreements, the Company would be liable to reimburse
its  joint  venture  partner  its  fifty  percent  share  of  any  amount  paid.
On December 10, 1999, the
Company  entered  into an  interest  rate swap  agreement,  with  respect to the
property at 330 North Wabash  Avenue (IBM Plaza) in Chicago,  Illinois,  for the
period from  December 10, 1999 through  December 10, 2002 based on a LIBOR index
rate of 6.3%  that  effectively  fixed  the  Company’s  interest  rate with
respect to the variable  rate  mortgage  note  payable  secured by the IBM Plaza
property at a rate of 8.0%.  This agreement had an original  notional  amount of
$160,000  that  decreased  to  $158,400 on December  10, 2000 and  decreased  to
$155,200  on  December  10,  2001,  coincident  with  the  originally  scheduled
principal  payments  on the  mortgage  note  payable  secured  by the IBM  Plaza
property.  The  Company  received  the net amount of $107 under the terms of the
swap  agreement  during 2000. No amounts were paid or received  during 1999. The
Company has provided a guaranty to the counterparty related to this agreement to
the extent of any decrease in value in the swap  agreement.  In accordance  with
this guarantee,  the swap agreement  requires cash escrow deposits to the extent
that the  instrument’s  valuation  decreases more than $500. As of December
31, 2001 and 2000,  respectively,  the Company has  deposited  $5,633 and $1,387
pertaining to the interest rate swap agreement. 

5.  Mortgage Notes Payable, Bonds Payable and Construction Financing (continued)

On July 11, 2000, the
Company  entered  into an  interest  rate cap  agreement,  with  respect  to the
property at 180 North LaSalle Street in Chicago,  Illinois,  for the period from
July 11, 2000 through  August 1, 2001 with respect to the $52,000  variable rate
note payable  secured by the 180 N. LaSalle Street  property.  The agreement was
subsequently  extended to January 15, 2004 and the notional amount was increased
to $60,000.  The interest  rate under the agreement is capped at the LIBOR index
rate of 7.25%. No amounts were received under the terms of the agreement  during
2001 and 2000. On November 15, 2000, the
Company  entered  into an  interest  rate cap  agreement,  with  respect  to the
property located at 33 West Monroe Street in Chicago,  Illinois,  for a notional
amount of $67,000 for the period from  November  15,  2000  through  January 31,
2002. On December 6, 2001, the Company  extended the interest rate cap agreement
to January 31, 2003 (an  additional  hedge  agreement is required by February 1,
2003,  for the period  February 1, 2003,  through debt  maturity of November 15,
2005) with respect to the $67,000  variable rate note payable  secured by the 33
West Monroe Street property.  The interest rate under the terms of the agreement
is capped at the LIBOR  index  rate of 6.50% for a notional  amount of  $67,000.
Included in the initial  interest rate cap agreement was the sale of an interest
rate cap based on the LIBOR index rate of 7.50% for the period from November 15,
2000 through January 31, 2002, for a notional amount of $65,000.  This agreement
allowed  the  Company  to  reduce  the cost of this  hedge  instrument  and take
advantage of the  remaining  term of the existing  collar  agreement  originally
entered  into on January 31, 1999.  The Company  received $10 under the terms of
the cap agreement during 2000 and no amounts during 2001. On November 15, 2000, the
Company  entered  into an  interest  rate cap  agreement,  with  respect  to the
property at 33 West Monroe Street in Chicago, Illinois, for a notional amount of
$12,500 for the period November 15, 2000 through  November 15, 2003 with respect
to the $12,500  variable rate note payable  secured by the 33 West Monroe Street
property.  The interest  rate under the terms of the  agreement is capped at the
LIBOR  index rate of 8.35%,  8.75% and 9.0% for loan  years one,  two and three,
respectively,  for a notional amount of $12,500.  No amounts were received under
the terms of the cap agreement during 2001 and 2000. On August 22, 2001, the
Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement with respect to the Dearborn
Center  property in  Chicago,  Illinois,  for the period  from  January 22, 2002
through  January 5, 2004.  The interest rate under the terms of the agreement is
capped at the LIBOR index rate of 4.25%  increasing to 7.4% over the term of the
cap  agreement.  The notional  amount of the cap begins at $81,000 and increases
over the term of the cap agreement to a maximum of $230,000,  based on increases
anticipated in the construction loan during the expected  construction period of
the property. The Company has provided
guarantees  ranging from 25% to 100% of the  outstanding  principal  balances on
certain mortgage notes payable, bonds payable and construction  financing. As of
December 31, 2001, the guarantees totaled $143,600. Certain mortgage notes
payable,  construction  financing,  and bonds  payable  are  subject  to various
financial  covenants  including  minimum cash balances and debt service coverage
ratios. In addition,  certain loans contain  cross-default  provisions whereby a
default under the covenants related to one loan agreement would also result in a
default under the provisions of one or more loans. The following represents
the  Company’s  future minimum principal payments due on its mortgage notes
payable,  bonds payable and construction  financing  outstanding at December 31,
2001:

6.  Future Minimum Lease Income and Payments

The Company has entered
into lease  agreements  with tenants  with lease terms  ranging from one year to
twenty years at lease  inception.  The leases  generally  provide for tenants to
share in  increases  in  operating  expenses  and real estate taxes in excess of
specified base amounts. The total future minimum
rentals to be received by the Company under such noncancelable  operating leases
in  effect  at  December  31,  2001,  exclusive  of  tenant  reimbursements  and
contingent rentals, are as follows:

Approximately 27%, 25% and
21% of rental  revenue for the years ended  December  31,  2001,  2000 and 1999,
respectively,  was  received  from five  tenants  (all five tenants were present
during the years ended December 31, 2001,  2000 and 1999).  This includes Arthur
Andersen LLP which  currently  leases 664,162 net rentable square feet in two of
the Company’s office properties.  Given the widely publicized uncertainties
facing  Arthur  Andersen,  there can be no assurance  that Arthur  Andersen will
continue  to occupy  space in the  Company’s  portfolio,  pay rent for such
space on a timely basis, and fulfill its lease  obligations.  If Arthur Andersen
were to cease payment of its rental obligation, this could negatively impact the
Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations. As a part of lease
agreements   entered  into  with  certain  tenants,   the  Company  assumed  the
tenants’  leases at their  previous  locations  and  subsequently  executed
subleases for certain of the assumed lease space. Future minimum rental payments
to be paid by the  Company  under  leases  assumed,  net of  subleases  executed
through December 31, 2001, are as follows:

During the years ended
December 31,  2001,  2000 and 1999,  the Company  recognized  lease  termination
income of $416,  $1,403 and  $5,205,  respectively,  which is included in rental
revenue.  In 1999, the Company granted permanent  easements and recorded fees of
$2,600, which are being recognized in other property revenues over terms ranging
from 10 to 15 years beginning in 2000. On February 23, 2001, the
Company  finalized a lease with a tenant for space in Dearborn Center, an office
development  located in Chicago,  Illinois.  The Company has agreed to reimburse
the tenant for the  financial  obligations  consisting  of base rent and the pro
rata share of operating  expenses and real estate taxes, under the tenant’s
lease for future  occupancy  executed  at an  unrelated  development  located in
downtown Chicago,  Illinois. This lease has a nominal gross rental obligation of
approximately $82,000 over the initial term of the lease. The Company intends to
mitigate  its  financial  obligations  by  subleasing  the  space  and  recorded
approximately  $3,800 in  liabilities  for leases  assumed during the year ended
December 31, 2001,  representing  its estimate of the net liability  anticipated
related to this obligation. On November 26, 2001, the
Company  finalized  a lease with a tenant for space in  Continental  Towers,  an
office building located in Rolling Meadows,  Illinois. The Company has agreed to
reimburse  the tenant for a portion of the financial  obligations  consisting of
base rent and the pro rata share of operating  expenses  and real estate  taxes,
under the  tenant’s  lease for  occupancy  executed  at an office  building
located in downtown Chicago,  Illinois. This lease has a nominal estimated gross
rental  obligation of  approximately  $4,096 over the initial term of the lease.
The Company  intends to mitigate its financial  obligations  by  subleasing  the
space and recorded approximately $1,317 in liabilities for leases assumed during
the year ended December 31, 2001, representing its estimate of the net liability
anticipated related to this obligation. 

7.  Preferred Shares

The Company is authorized
to issue up to 30,000,000 of non-voting  preferred shares of beneficial interest
in one or more series.  At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company had 2,000,000
Series  A-Cumulative   Convertible   Preferred  Shares  of  beneficial  interest
(“Series  A-preferred  shares”)  with a $0.01  par  value  designated,
issued and  outstanding.  On June 5, 1998,  the  Company  completed  the sale of
4,000,000 Series B-Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of beneficial interest
(“Series  B-preferred  shares”)  with a $0.01 par  value,  which  were
designated issued and outstanding at December 31, 2001 and 2000. Dividends on the Series
B-preferred  shares are payable  quarterly  on or about the last day of January,
April, July and October of each year, at the rate of 9% (equivalent to $2.25 per
annum per Series  B-preferred  share). The Series B-preferred shares rank senior
to the  Company’s  common  shares and Series  A-preferred  shares as to the
payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon  liquidation.  On
and after June 5, 2003,  the Series  B-preferred  shares may be  redeemed at the
Company’s option at a redemption price of $25.00 per share plus accrued and
unpaid distributions. The redemption price is payable solely out of the proceeds
from the sale of other  capital  shares of  beneficial  interest of the Company.
Dividends on the Series
A-preferred  shares are payable quarterly no later than the last business day of
the calendar month following the end of March,  June,  September and December of
each  year,  at a rate of  7.5%  (equivalent  of  $1.50  per  annum  per  Series
A-preferred   share).   The  Series   A-preferred  shares  rank  senior  to  the
Company’s  common  shares  as to the  payment  of  dividends  and as to the
distribution  of assets.  Series  A-preferred  shareholders  can  convert  their
preferred  shares into the  Company’s  common  shares based on a conversion
price,  as  defined in our  charter.  The  Company  has the option to redeem the
Series  A-preferred  shares  beginning on and after  November 17, 2007,  in cash
equal  to the  original  issue  price  ($20.00)  plus  any  accrued  and  unpaid
dividends. On April 13, 1999, the
Company  modified the terms of the  Company’s  Series  A-preferred  shares.
Under the  original  terms,  the  holders of the Series  A-preferred  shares had
certain  redemption rights if for two consecutive  quarters (1) the ratio of the
Company’s  debt plus  nonconvertible  preferred shares divided by its total
market capitalization  exceeded 65% or (2) its fixed charges coverage ratio fell
below  1.4.  The new  agreement  eliminates  the  debt-to-market  capitalization
covenant. In exchange, the holders of the Series A-preferred shares were granted
the future  right to cause the  redemption  of their shares at a price of $20.00
per share upon 120 days’ prior written notice,  (subsequently amended to 10
days  prior  written  notice),  which  redemption  may occur  during  the period
beginning  January 15, 2002 and ending January 15, 2004. The Company made a $400
one-time payment as part of this  transaction,  which is being amortized,  using
the straight-line method, through January 15, 2002, as a preferred dividend. All
2,000,000  outstanding  shares of the  Company’s  Series A-preferred shares
have been reclassified to redeemable equity at their aggregate  redemption price
of $40,000, net of the unamortized transaction fee ($150 and $297 as of December
31, 2000 and 1999,  respectively),  in the consolidated balance sheet. (See Note
16 “Subsequent Events”). The holders of the
Company’s  Series A preferred shares have the right to elect one additional
member to the  Company’s  Board  (or two  additional  members  if the Board
consists of more than 10 members) if two consecutive quarterly distributions (i)
on the Series A preferred shares or (ii) on the Company’s  common shares in
an amount of at least $0.3375 per share,  are not made.  The term of any Trustee
elected by the Series A  preferred  shareholders  will  expire,  as  applicable,
whenever  all arrears in  dividends  on the Series A preferred  shares have been
paid and  current  dividends  declared  and set apart for  payment,  or when the
Company has paid a dividend  on its common  shares at least equal to $0.3375 for
two consecutive  quarters.  The holders of the Company’s Series B preferred
shares  have the right to elect two  additional  members  to the  Company’s
Board if six  consecutive  quarterly  distributions  on the  Series B  preferred
shares are not made. The term of any Trustees  elected by the Series B preferred
shareholders  will  expire  whenever  all arrears in  dividends  on the Series B
preferred shares have been paid and current dividends declared and set apart for
payment.

8.  Earnings Per Share (continued)

For the 2001 earnings per
share  computation,  2,574,754 of the  Company’s  options  during the first
quarter of 2001,  2,550,642 options during the second quarter of 2001, 2,304,741
options  during the third  quarter of 2001,  and  2,295,364  options  during the
fourth quarter of 2001 were not included in the computation of diluted  earnings
per share because the conversion would have been antidilutive. For the 2000 earnings per
share  computation,  2,009,954 of the  Company’s  options  during the first
quarter of 2000, 1,216,166 options during the second and third quarters of 2000,
and 1,167,000 options during the fourth quarter of 2000 were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share because the conversion would have been
antidilutive. For the 1999 earnings per
share  computation,  1,122,833 of the  Company’s  options  during the first
quarter of 1999, 1,120,333 options during the second and third quarters of 1999,
and 1,227,833 options during the fourth quarter of 1999 were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share because the conversion would have been
antidilutive. The Company had nonvested
stock grants for 58,980 shares  outstanding  during the year ended  December 31,
2001,  which were not included in the computation of diluted  earnings per share
because the effect would have been antidilutive. The minority interest in
the Operating  Partnership had 10,722,853,  10,876,506 and 10,558,545,  weighted
average limited partner common units outstanding during the years ended December
31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, of which 10,661,808, 9,662,666, 9,631,445
and 9,355,421, respectively, may be exchanged for common shares on a one-for-one
basis,  subject to the Company’s 9.9% ownership limitation contained in the
Company’s charter, or, at the Company’s option, cash equivalent to the
fair market value of a common share at the time of exchange. The limited partner
common units were not included in the computation of diluted  earnings per share
because the conversion would have been antidilutive. The Company had 2,000,000
Series  A-cumulative  convertible  preferred shares outstanding during the years
ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999. The Series A- preferred  shares were not
included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the conversion
would have been antidilutive. 

9.  Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has a Share
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)  which permits the grant of share options,
share appreciation rights,  restricted shares,  restricted units and performance
units to officers  and other key  employees  and to officers  and  employees  of
subsidiaries,  the Operating  Partnership,  the Services Company and other-owned
partnerships.  The Plan also permits the grant of share options to  non-employee
Trustees. Under the Plan, up to
2,860,774 of the  Company’s  common shares may be issued or  transferred to
participants. The maximum aggregate number of common shares and share equivalent
units that may be subject to awards  granted during any calendar year to any one
participant under the Plan,  regardless of the type of awards, is 200,000.  This
limit applies  regardless of whether such  compensation is paid in common shares
or share equivalent units. The Compensation Committee
of the Company’s Board of Trustees (the “Compensation Committee”)
administers  the Plan and has the  authority to  determine,  among other things,
subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan,  the  individuals to be granted
options,  the  exercise  price at which  shares may be  acquired,  the number of
shares subject to options,  the vesting  requirements and the exercise period of
each option.  The Compensation  Committee is granted discretion to determine the
term of  each  option  granted  under  the  Plan to  employees,  executives  and
Trustees,  but in no event  will the term  exceed ten years and one day from the
date of the grant. During 2000 and 1999, the
Board  granted  options to purchase a total of 7,500 and 107,500,  respectively,
(exclusive  of  options  described  below as part of the  Company’s  annual
incentive  award  program)  of  the  Company’s  common  shares  to  various
employees  and  executives  of the  Company  hired in 2000 and 1999 at  exercise
prices equal to the closing price on the day before the grant of the options. In
addition,  during  2001,  2000 and 1999,  289,647,  201,850 and 63,167  options,
respectively,  expired  as the  result  of  employees  or  executives,  who held
options,  resigning  from the Company.  In 2001,  the Company  also  repurchased
15,625  options from a former  executive for a nominal  payment equal to the net
value of the  options.  Options  for  these  shares  granted  under  the Plan to
executives  and employees  have a term of 10 years and will be  exercisable  and
vest in installments as follows: (i) 33.3% of the number of shares commencing in
the first  anniversary  of the date of grant;  (ii) an additional  33.3% for the
shares commencing on the second  anniversary of the date of the grant; and (iii)
the remainder of the shares  commencing on the third  anniversary of the date of
grant. On December 16, 1999, the
Board  granted  each of the four  non-employee  Trustees  options  to acquire an
additional 5,000 common shares at $13.19 per share (the closing price on the day
before the grant of the options).  Share options  granted to the Trustees have a
term of 10 years and will vest and be  exercisable at the rate of 33.3% per year
over three years  commencing  on the first  anniversary  of their date of grant.
Under a consulting
agreement  with one of the members of the Board,  the Board  granted on November
17, 1997, options to purchase 75,000 of the  Company’s  common shares at an
exercise  price of $20.00 per share.  Pursuant  to the  agreement,  the  options
granted have a term of 10 years and will be exercisable  and vest at the rate of
33.3% per year over three years  commencing  on the first  anniversary  of their
date of grant. During 2000, the Company
issued 5,000 common shares  granted to one of its Board members  pursuant to his
consulting  agreement  valued at the market price of the  Company’s  common
shares at the date of grant, totaling $77. As part of an annual
incentive  award  program,  on  January  23,  2001,  the Board  granted  certain
executives  15,482 shares of the  Company’s  common shares,  and options to
purchase  33,400 of the  Company’s  common  shares at an exercise  price of
$14.31 per share.  The common  share grants vest 50% on January 23, 2001 and 50%
on January 15, 2002 and the options  vested on January 23, 2001.  The Board also
granted certain executives 57,190 shares of the Company’s common shares and
certain  executives  options to  purchase  33,400 of the  Company’s  common
shares,  at an  exercise  price of  $14.31  per  share,  as part of a  long-term
incentive  program.  These  common  share grants and options vest at the rate of
25.0% per year in four  annual  installments  commencing  on January  23,  2001.
As part of an annual
incentive  award  program,  on December  16,  1999,  the Board  granted  certain
executives  32,668 shares of the  Company’s  common shares,  and options to
purchase  363,891 of the  Company’s  common shares at an exercise  price of
$13.19 per share.  The common  share grants vest 50% on January 15, 2000 and 50%
on January 15, 2001 and the options  vested on January 15, 2000.  The Board also
granted certain executives 25,380 shares of the Company’s common shares and
certain   executives   and  employees   options  to  purchase   364,200  of  the
Company’s  common shares, at an exercise price of $13.19 per share, as part
of a long-term incentive program.  These common share grants and options vest at
the rate of 25.0% per year in four annual installments commencing on January 15,
2000. As part of an annual
incentive  award  program,  on December  17,  1998,  the Board  granted  certain
executives 24,933 common shares and options to purchase 538,889 common shares at
an exercise  price of $14.00 per share.  The common share  grants  vested 50% on
January 15,  1999 and 50% on January 15, 2000 and the options  vested on January
15, 1999. The Board also granted certain  executives options to purchase 254,000
common shares,  at an exercise price of $14.00 per share, as part of a long-term
incentive  program.  These  options  vest at the rate of 25.0%  per year in four
annual installments commencing on January 15, 1999. The unaudited pro-forma
information  regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS No.
123,   “Accounting  for  Stock-Based   Compensation,”   and  has  been
determined  as if the Company had accounted for its options under the fair value
method of that  statement.  The fair value for the options was  estimated at the
date of grant using a  Black-Scholes  option  pricing  model with the  following
weighted average  assumptions for 2001, 2000 and 1999,  respectively:  risk-free
interest rate of 5.22%, 6.77% and 6.47%; expected dividend yield of 9.43%, 8.85%
and 10.0%;  volatility  factor of the expected  market  price  common  shares of
0.294, 0.307 and 0.307; and a  weighted-average  expected life of the options of
seven years for 2001,  2000 and 1999. The unaudited  pro-forma  expense would be
$175 ($0.01 per basic and diluted  common  share),  $1,153  ($0.07 per basic and
diluted  common share) and $1,655 ($0.11 per basic and diluted common share) for
the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and, 1999, respectively.  The effects on
unaudited  pro-forma net income and pro-forma  earnings per common share for the
years  ended  December  31,  2001,  2000 and 1999 of  amortizing  to expense the
estimated fair value of share options are not necessarily  representative of the
effects on net income to be reported  in future  years due to such things as the
vesting  period  of the  share  options,  and  the  potential  for  issuance  of
additional share options in future years. For purposes of pro-forma disclosures,
the  estimated  fair value of the  options  is  amortized  to  expense  over the
options’ vesting periods. The Black-Scholes options
valuation  model was developed  for use in  estimating  the fair value of traded
options  which  have no  vesting  restrictions  and are fully  transferable.  In
addition,  option  valuation  models  require  the  input of  highly  subjective
assumptions  including the expected stock price  volatility.  Because changes in
the subjective input  assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate,
in the opinion of the  Company’s  management,  the  existing  models do not
necessarily  provide a reliable  single measure of the fair value of the options
granted under the Plan. In February 2002, the
Company’s  Compensation  Committee  approved  2001  bonuses  and 2002  stay
bonuses  totaling  $425  for  certain  members  of  the  Company’s   senior
management.  None of the  participants  in the bonus program is a Trustee of the
Company.  One-half of the bonus pool was  designated as bonuses for 2001 and the
other one-half as stay bonuses that vest in two increments,  two-thirds on April
1, 2002 and one-third on June 1, 2002.  Any vested or earned amounts are payable
at the  option of the  Company  at any time on or  before  August 8, 2002 in (i)
cash,  or (ii)  restricted  shares of the  Company  under  the  Plan,  having an
equivalent  value based on the average of the high and low trading  price of the
common  shares on the day before  notification  of such election is given to the
relevant employee. In addition, the participants can elect to receive any vested
or earned bonus amounts in restricted shares. The following is a summary
of the  Company’s  share option activity,  and related  information for the
years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999:

10.  Related Party Transactions

For the year beginning
January 1, 2001,  the Services  Company  elected to be treated as a Taxable REIT
Subsidiary (as defined in the Code). On January 1, 2001 the Company acquired all
of the outstanding  common stock of the Services Company previously owned by the
Company’s Chairman of the Board and its Chief Executive Officer and had the
Services Company redeem all of the preferred stock  outstanding  previously held
by the Operating Partnership.  Effective January, 2001, the Company consolidates
the operations of the Services Company. Prior to January 1, 2001,
the Company owned 100% of the nonvoting  preferred stock of the Services Company
which had an initial  carrying value of $425 and the Company  provided a loan in
the amount of $4,800  (included  in other  assets at December  31,  2000) to the
Services  Company (unpaid  interest  expense was included in the  line-of-credit
balance described below), with interest at 11% per annum,  payable quarterly and
principal due November 2007. On January 1, 1998, the
Company provided the Services Company a $5,000 line-of-credit,  with interest at
LIBOR plus 3%,  principal and interest payable monthly from available cash flow,
as defined,  which is due on January 1, 2004. The line is  collateralized by the
Services  Company’s  third  party  receivables  and is  subject  to various
covenants.  As of December 31, 2000, the line-of-credit  balance was $4,728, and
was included in other assets. The Company’s net
deficit  investment in the Services Company at December 31, 2000 was $5,008, and
was included in other assets. During the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999,
the Company  recorded net losses  related to the Services  Company of $1,238 and
$3,234, respectively, representing its share of the Services Company’s loss
from  operations of $1,303 and $3,865,  respectively,  net of interest income of
$942 and $631,  respectively,  related to the  previously  described  loans.  In
December 1999, the Services Company wrote-off  approximately  $4,970 in goodwill
and related  capitalized  costs  associated  with its initial  acquisition  of a
management  and  construction   company.   The  Company’s   share  of  this
write-down,  net of the tax benefit at the service  subsidiary level, was $2,833
and was  included in its share of the Services  Company loss for 1999  described
above. The Company also paid
general and administrative  expenses  (primarily rent, salaries and benefits) of
$645 and $505 on behalf of the Services Company for the years ended December 31,
2000 and 1999, respectively. During the years ended
December  31, 2000 and 1999,  the  Services  Company  provided  the Company with
development,  acquisition due diligence, construction,  construction management,
leasing and  property  management  services,  which are  summarized  as follows:

                                                        2000       1999

The Company has lease
agreements with minority interest holders and certain affiliates,  from which it
recognized  rental  revenue of $233 and $1,014 for the years ended  December 31,
2000 and 1999, respectively,  and tenant reimbursements revenue of $81, $205 and
$671 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. In 2000
and 1999 the  Company  provided  $2,015  and $181,  respectively,  to one of the
minority  interest  holders,  and certain  affiliates  for tenant  improvements.
During  2000,  the  Company  also paid $170 of lease  commissions  to a minority
interest holder. The Company recognized
rental revenue of $1,000 from a nonaffiliated  former  minority  interest holder
(no longer an investor as of September 20, 2000) during both 2000 and 1999. This
lease was terminated in 2000. During 1999, the Operating
Partnership  acquired  various  office and industrial  properties  from minority
interest  holders for a total  purchase  price of $366,200 and assumed  mortgage
notes  payable of  $70,092  (see Note 12 for a listing  of the  properties).  In
addition, the Operating Partnership also acquired 29.6 acres of land in 2000 and
40.5 acres of land in 1999 from Stephen J. Nardi, a Company Trustee, for a total
purchase price of $3,843 paid in limited  partner common units and $5,430,  paid
in $5,289 of limited  partner  common units and $140 in cash,  respectively.  On
March 7, 2002,  the Operating  Partnership  acquired 24.9 acres of land from Mr.
Nardi for a total  purchase  price of $3,254  paid in  344,331  limited  partner
common units. The Company has a
receivable  of $441  due from  PGI  (included  in  other  assets),  relating  to
PGI’s   indemnification   to  the  Company   for  costs  of   environmental
remediation. 

10. Related Party Transactions (continued)

The Company has advances of
$128 to employees and  independent  contractors to be repaid from the payment of
future commissions of which $69, relating to an independent  contractor who left
the Company in January 2002,  was reserved for in the allowance for bad debts as
of December 31, 2001. During 2000, the Company
recognized $2,000 of lease commissions  revenue (included in other revenue) from
a consolidated real estate joint venture,  representing the portion of the total
lease commissions earned for which the other partner’s minority interest in
the joint venture is at risk. During 2000, prior to
consolidating  the  operations of 180 North LaSalle Street  effective  August 1,
2000,  the  Company  recognized  $958  of  lease  commissions   revenue  net  of
commissions  expense  (included in other revenue) for lease  commissions  earned
related to 180 North LaSalle Street. Average balances of amounts
due from affiliates (loans receivable from Services Company) for the years ended
December 31, 2000 and 1999, were $8,686 and $5,738, respectively. The Company recognized
property   management   fee  income   (included  in  other   revenue)   from  an
unconsolidated  real estate joint venture in the amounts of $507,  $481 and $117
during  the  years  ended  December  31,  2001,  2000  and  1999,  respectively.
The Company has a
consulting  agreement with Stephen J. Nardi, a Company  Trustee.  The consulting
agreement is automatically extended for one-year terms unless the Company or Mr.
Nardi terminates it in writing.  The consulting  agreement requires Mr. Nardi to
devote  substantially  all of his  time  and  energy  to  performing  consulting
services on the Company’s behalf. In addition to an initial base consulting
fee of $220 per annum in 2001  ($200 per annum in 2000 and 1999),  Mr.  Nardi is
entitled to receive additional incentive compensation in an amount up to 100% of
his base fee based on achievement of the Company’s  goals and objectives as
are  established  by the  Company’s  Board of Trustees or its  Compensation
Committee.  In 2000, Mr. Nardi earned $100 in cash and 4,891  restricted  common
shares  (which  were  granted  in 2001 for  performance  in  2000) as  incentive
compensation. The consulting agreement contains non-compete provisions which are
applicable  for  two  years  following  the  (i)  expiration  of the  consulting
agreement or (ii) termination of the consulting agreement by Mr. Nardi or by the
Company as a result of a breach of the agreement by Mr. Nardi or certain acts of
misconduct by Mr. Nardi. At December 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively, the Company had a receivable of $125 and $26 from affiliates
of Mr.  Nardi,  representing  rent  receivable  due under a lease  agreement the
affiliates  had with the Company,  net of amounts due the  affiliates  and Board
member   for  lease   commissions,   expense   reimbursements   and   consulting
compensation. Governor James R. Thompson,
a Company  Trustee,  is the  Chairman  of a law firm  which has  provided  legal
services to the Company during 2001,  2000 and 1999. The law firm earned fees of
$2,814,  $1,847 and $2,281 for legal  services  provided to the Company in 2001,
2000 and 1999, respectively. The  Company owns a 10%
common ownership interest in a joint venture that owns and office property under
development in Libertyville,  Illinois. Under the terms of a $9,300 construction
loan  collateralized by the property ($4,271  outstanding at December 31, 2001),
the Company has provided a full guaranty on this loan.During 2001, the Company
elected not to use the proceeds  from a property  sale to acquire a  replacement
property but rather elected to use the proceeds for general corporate  purposes.
A portion of the gain on the sale of the property  was covered by tax  indemnity
agreements with two partners in the Company’s  Operating Partnership.  As a
result,  for the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company recorded a $1,191 tax
indemnification  loss  representing  its  liability  to  the  partners  for  tax
indemnity  payments  under these  agreements.  PGI leases  22,620 square feet of
space at 77 W. Wacker Drive, Chicago,  Illinois, an office building owned by one
of the company’s  unconsolidated real estate joint ventures.  PGI paid rent
and operating  expense  escalations to the joint venture totaling $822, $791 and
$776 for the  years  ended  December  31,  2001,  2000 and  1999,  respectively.
PGI’s  lease expires  October 31, 2007 with an option,  effective April 30,
2002, to terminate the lease upon six months written notice. During 2001 and 2000, the
Company incurred rent expense of $209 and $202, respectively, under the terms of
a month-to-month sublease with PGI. On April 25, 2001, the
Company’s  Operating  Partnership  acquired  33,085  of the  Company’s
common shares of beneficial  interest,  $0.01 par value per share, from a former
employee  of the  Company  for a price of $478.  The  acquired  shares have been
pledged to the lenders under the Dearborn  Center  mezzanine  loan as collateral
for  certain  obligations  under  the loan  agreement.  In  connection  with the
acquisition,  the former  employee  agreed to cancel all of his options  granted
pursuant to the Company’s  1997 Share Incentive Plan and an award agreement
dated December 17, 1998 between the Company and the former  employee in exchange
for a payment equal to the net value of the options. 

11.  Fair Values of Financial Instruments

SFAS No. 107,
“Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial  Instruments”  and SFAS No.
119,  “Disclosure  about Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of
Financial  Instruments”  require  disclosure  of the fair  value of certain
on-and  off-balance  sheet financial  instruments for which it is practicable to
estimate.  Fair  value is  defined  by SFAS No.  107 as the  amount at which the
instrument could be exchanged in a current  transaction between willing parties,
other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The Company used the
following  methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value  disclosures for
financial instruments. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Escrows

The carrying amount of cash
and cash  equivalents and restricted cash escrows  reported in the  consolidated
balance sheets approximates their fair value. The Company maintains its
cash and cash  equivalents  and  restricted  cash  escrows at various  financial
institutions.  The combined account  balances at each  institution  periodically
exceed FDIC insurance  coverage,  and as a result,  there is a concentration  of
credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance  coverage.
The Company believes that the risk is not significant. 

Mortgage Notes Payable and Bonds Payable

The carrying amount of the
Company’s  variable  and  fixed  rate  debt  (including  accrued  interest)
approximates fair value based on the current borrowing rate for similar types of
debt. At December 31, 2001, the
fair value of the  Company’s  interest rate protection  agreements is a net
liability of $6,023. 

12.  Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is a defendant
in legal actions arising in the normal course of business.  The Company believes
that the  ultimate  outcome  of those  actions  will not  materially  affect its
consolidated financial position. All of the Company’s
properties  were  subject to Phase I or  similar  environmental  assessments  by
independent   environmental   consultants   which  were   intended  to  discover
information  regarding,  and to evaluate  the  environmental  condition  of, the
surveyed  property  and  surrounding   properties.   The  Company  is  aware  of
contamination  at  certain of its  industrial  properties  which are  already in
remediation programs sponsored by the state in which they are located. The Phase
I assessments  estimate that remedial  action plans will have a probable cost of
approximately  $3,205. During 1997, PGI, the former owner of the above mentioned
industrial  properties,   initiated  lawsuits  against  a  former  environmental
consultant  and a former tenant of one of these  properties for damages to cover
the cost of the remedial  action  plans.  During 1997, a liability of $3,205 was
recorded  (included in other liabilities at December 31, 2001 and 2000). PGI has
contractually agreed to indemnify the Company for any environmental  liabilities
the Company may incur in connection with its Chicago,  Hammond, and East Chicago
Enterprise industrial parks. On February 20, 1998, PGI reached an agreement with
the former tenant and received a $1,822 settlement payment.  The Company is also
aware of contamination at two other  properties.  At one of the properties,  the
tenant has provided the Company  with an indemnity  for all the cost  associated
with the  environmental  remediation  and the tenant has purchased the property.
The second  property is in the  remediation  program  sponsored  by the state in
which it is located and the previous  owner has placed in an escrow account $760
(the maximum cost the previous owner has agreed to pay),  which is being used in
the clean up of the property. In November 2001, at the
request  of the  Department  of the Army of the United  States of  America  (the
“DOA”), the Company granted the DOA a right of entry for environmental
assessment  and response in connection  with its property known as the Atrium at
280 Shuman Boulevard in Naperville,  Illinois (the “Atrium”).  The DOA
informed  the  Company  that the  property  was  located  north of a former Nike
Missile  Base  and  that  the DOA was  investigating  whether  certain  regional
contamination  of the groundwater by  trichloethene  (“TCE”)  emanated
from the base and whether the DOA would be required to restore the environmental
integrity of the region under the Defense Environmental  Restoration Program for
Formerly Used Defense Sites. In December 2001, the results from the tests of the
groundwater from the site indicated  elevated levels of TCE. It is currently the
Company’s  understanding  based on  information  provided by the DOA and an
analysis  prepared by its  environmental  consultants that (i) the source of the
TCE  contamination  did not result  from the past or current  activities  on the
Atrium  property,  (ii) the TCE  contamination is a regional problem that is not
confined to the Atrium,  and (iii) the DOA has not yet  identified the source of
the TCE in the groundwater.  The Company’s  environmental  consultants have
advised  it  that  the  United  States  Environmental   Protection  Agency  (the
“EPA”)  has issued a Statement  of Policy  towards  owners of property
containing  contaminated  acquifers.   According  to  this  policy,  it  is  the
EPA’s position that where hazardous substances have come to be located on a
property  solely as a result  of  subsurface  migration  in an  aquifer  from an
offsite source,  the EPA will not take enforcement  actions against the owner of
the property.  The groundwater  underneath this property is relatively deep, and
the property  obtains its potable water supply from the City of  Naperville  and
not from a groundwater  well.  Accordingly,  the Company does not anticipate any
material liability to it because of this TCE contamination. The Company has contracts
to acquire  30.3 acres of land for  approximately  $2,510.  These  acres must be
purchased at the Company’s discretion by June 2003. The Company is required
to make periodic  installment  payments,  of which $596 was paid in 2001 (amount
included in property development). The  Company  has
contractual  obligations  under capital  leases of $1,052  payable over the next
five years.During 1999, the Company
sold ten  properties  in a single  transaction  resulting in a deferred  gain of
$3,570. As a condition of the sale, the Company agreed to assume  responsibility
for  re-leasing  two of the  properties  for a period  of five  years  after the
expiration  in  2000  and  2001  of  the  then  existing   tenant  leases.   The
Company’s  remaining nominal gross lease obligation at December 31, 2001 is
approximately  $13,757.  During 2001, the Company released one of the properties
and revised its leasing assumptions related to the second property.  At December
31, 2001, the Company has a net liability of approximately $3,948 in liabilities
for leases assumed,  representing its estimate of the net liability  anticipated
related to this  obligation.  Correspondingly,  the remaining  deferred gain has
been  reduced to zero and the  Company  has  recorded a loss on the sale of real
estate of $2,553 in 2001. The Company has provided a
guarantee related to an interest rate protection  agreement described in Note 3.
Additionally, this agreement has a notional amount of $155,200 and requires cash
escrow  deposits to the extent that the  instrument’s  valuation  decreases
more than $500, based upon declines in certain forward rates. 

12.  Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

During 1999, the Company
granted to  unrelated  parties  permanent  easements  to space  within an office
property  and to  industrial  land for total  fees of  $2,600,  which  have been
included in other property revenues in 1999 (see “Revenue Recognition”
in Note 1). The Company believes that the easements do not decrease the value of
the properties. The Operating Partnership
entered into a tax indemnification  agreement with certain principals affiliated
with one of the Company’s  executive officers which contributed  properties
to the Company  during the  Company’s  initial public  offering  (“IBD
Contributors”)  pursuant to which the Operating  Partnership is required to
indemnify the IBD Contributors for, among other things, the income tax liability
that  would  result  from the  income  or gain  which  they  recognize  upon the
refinancing or repayment by the Operating  Partnership of its liabilities or the
sale or other  disposition by the Operating  Partnership of the properties  they
contributed.  Under the terms of the agreement,  the Operating  Partnership will
indemnify  the IBD  Contributors  for certain  income tax  liabilities  based on
income or gain which the IBD Contributors are required to include in their gross
income for federal or state  income tax purposes as a result of a such an event.
This indemnity covers these income taxes, interest and penalties and is required
to be made on a “grossed up” basis that effectively results in the IBD
Contributors  receiving the indemnity  payment on a net,  after-tax  basis.  The
percentage of the tax liabilities which the Operating Partnership is required to
indemnify is 70% for the taxable year ending on December 31, 2001,  and declines
by 10% each year thereafter  until December 31, 2007. The Operating  Partnership
is not required to indemnify the IBD Contributors for income or gain realized by
them after the taxable year ended December 31, 2007.  The Company  estimates its
maximum  possible  exposure under this indemnity at December 31, 2001 is $8,985.
PGI has entered into an
agreement  with the  Operating  Partnership  pursuant to which PGI has agreed to
indemnify  the  Operating  Partnership  for any  amounts  paid by the  Operating
Partnership to the IBD Contributors pursuant to such agreement;  provided,  that
PGI is liable to the Operating  Partnership  for such amounts only to the extent
that the Operating Partnership uses its best efforts to avoid such tax liability
(including  exploring the opportunity for a tax-free exchange under Section 1031
of the Code for the  transaction  that gave rise to the  obligation  under  such
agreement). The Operating Partnership
also  entered  into a tax  indemnification  agreement  with  certain  principals
affiliated  with  one  of  the  Company’s  Board  members  who  contributed
properties to the Company  during the  Company’s  initial  public  offering
(“NAC  Contributors”),  pursuant to which the Operating Partnership is
required to indemnify the NAC Contributors  for, among other things,  the income
tax  liability  that would  result from the income or gain which they  recognize
upon  the  refinancing  or  repayment  by  the  Operating   Partnership  of  its
liabilities or the sale or other disposition by the Operating Partnership of the
properties  they  contributed.  Under the terms of the agreement,  the Operating
Partnership  will  indemnify the NAC  Contributors  for certain tax  liabilities
based on income or gain which the NAC  Contributors  are  required to include in
their gross income for federal,  applicable  state and certain  local income tax
purposes as a result of such an event. This indemnity covers these income taxes,
interest and  penalties and is required to be made on a  “grossed  up”
basis that effectively  results in the NAC Contributors  receiving the indemnity
payment on a net,  after tax  basis.  On August 8,  2000,  the NAC  Contributors
converted 927,100 general partner common units of the Operating Partnership into
927,100  limited  partner common units.  These limited  partner common units are
exchangeable for common shares on a one-for-one basis, or, at the Company’s
option,  cash  equivalent to the fair market value of a common share at the time
of  exchange.  In  connection  with  the  conversion,  the  tax  indemnification
agreement   with  the   affiliates   was   amended  to  provide   that  the  tax
indemnification by the Operating Partnership is reduced by 10% per year over the
10-year term of the tax indemnification agreement,  effective retroactively from
the  Company’s   initial  public  offering.   The  percentage  of  the  tax
liabilities which the Operating  Partnership is required to indemnify is 70% for
the taxable  year ending on December  31,  2001,  and  declines by 10% each year
thereafter until December 31, 2007. The Operating Partnership is not required to
indemnify  the NAC  Contributors  for income or gain  realized by them after the
taxable year ended December 31, 2007. The Company estimates its maximum possible
exposure under this indemnity at December 31, 2001 is $15,816. PGI has also entered an
agreement  with the  Operating  Partnership  pursuant to which PGI has agreed to
indemnify  the  Operating  Partnership  for any  amounts  paid by the  Operating
Partnership to the NAC Contributors  pursuant to the agreement;  provided,  that
PGI is liable to the  Operating  Partnership  for the amounts only to the extent
that the Operating Partnership used its best efforts to avoid such tax liability
(including  exploring the opportunity for a tax-free exchange under Section 1031
of the Code for the  transaction  that gave rise to the  obligation  under  such
agreement.) In May 2001, the Company
sold 43-47 Hintz Road, a property  covered by the tax  indemnities  with the IBD
Contributors  and the NAC  Contributors,  and  deposited the proceeds into a tax
deferred  exchange  trust.  In November 2001, the Company elected not to use the
proceeds to acquire a replacement  property,  thereby triggering the tax gain on
the sale. As a result,  the Company has accrued indemnity payments of $1,177 and
$14 due the IBD Contributors and NAC Contributors, respectively. On December 12, 1997, the
Company  purchased and amended the mortgage note  encumbering the property known
as  Continental  Towers  located  in  Rolling  Meadows,  Illinois  (the  Company
currently  receives  all of the  economic  benefits  from the  property  and has
consolidated the operations). As part of this transaction, the Company agreed to
indemnify the two limited partners (the  “Principals”)  of the limited
partnership  which owns the property for,  among other  things,  the federal and
applicable  state  income tax  liabilities  that  result from the income or gain
which they recognize upon refinancing,  sale,  foreclosure or other action taken
by the Company with  respect to the  property or the mortgage  note (a “Tax
Event”).  Under the terms of the agreement, if an Indemnification Event, as
defined,  results in a Tax Event,  the Company is required to immediately pay to
the Principals the amount of any resulting  federal or state tax,  including any
interest  and  penalties,   as  well  as  a  “gross  up”  amount  that
effectively results in the Principals receiving this indemnity payment on a net,
after tax basis.  However,  if a legal opinion is obtained from  independent tax
counsel  that the  Indemnification  Event  “should”  not trigger a Tax
Event  resulting  in  taxable  income or gain to the  Principals,  no  indemnity
payment is immediately  required. If the legal opinion obtained from independent
tax counsel states that the Principals have a “reasonable  basis”  for
reporting  the  Indemnification  Event without  including any taxable  income or
gain,  no  indemnity  payment  is  immediately  required.  In either  case,  the
indemnity  payment  would be required  if a Tax Event  occurred.  However,  if a
“reasonable  basis”  opinion is received  regarding an Indemnification
Event  and if the  equity  market  capitalization  of the  Company  is less than
$400,000 (but more than $200,000), the Company is required to deposit 50% of the
total   indemnity   amount  into  an  escrow  in  cash  or  in  the  form  of  a
letter-of-credit.  If (i) an Indemnification  Event occurs and the equity market
capitalization  of the Company falls below $200,000 for more than 30 consecutive
trading days, (ii) or immediately after the Company sells or otherwise  disposes
of the  lesser of  $100,000  or 33% of its gross  assets  within a twelve  month
period  (“a  Trigger  Disposition”),  the Company  desires to cause an
Indemnification  Event and the equity  market  capitalization  of the Company is
less than  $200,000,  then the Company  will be required to deposit  100% of the
total indemnity  amount into the escrow.  In addition,  in the case of a Trigger
Disposition  and the equity  market  capitalization  of the Company  falls below
$200,000,  the  Principals may acquire the general  partnership  interest in the
limited  partnership  which owns the  property for $1,000 and be able to prevent
the Indemnification  Event from occurring.  The tax indemnity obligation expires
January 5, 2013. The Company estimates its maximum possible exposure at December
31, 2001 is $57,150. After the Company’s
public  announcement  on August  28,  2001 of the  proposed  acquisition  of the
Company by Cadim inc., an affiliate of CDP Capital and the Prime Group, Inc., an
affiliate of Michael W. Reschke, the Chairman of the Board of the Company,  five
purported class action lawsuits were filed against the Company and its trustees,
three in the Circuit  Court for  Baltimore  City,  Maryland,  one in the Circuit
Court for  Montgomery  County,  Maryland  and one in the  Circuit  Court of Cook
County (Chancery Division), Illinois. Also named as defendants in certain of the
lawsuits are The Prime Group,  Inc., Cadim, Inc. and CDP Capital.  The purported
plaintiff classes consisted of shareholders of the Company. The actions alleged,
among other  things,  that the  potential  acquisition,  which was  subsequently
withdrawn by Cadim in October 2001,  would under  compensate the  Company’s
shareholders   for  their  common  shares  and  that  certain   members  of  the
Company’s  board of trustees  breached their fiduciary  duties by allegedly
engaging in a scheme to acquire the Company’s  outstanding common shares at
an inadequate  purchase price.  The plaintiffs in these lawsuits  sought,  among
other things,  certification  of their  classes,  injunctive  relief against the
completion  of the  proposed  acquisition  and  attorneys’  fees and costs.
Following the October 2001 withdrawal of the proposal by Cadim inc., the Company
and the other parties to these lawsuits agreed to halt further proceedings until
the possibility of a similar  transaction is definitively  foreclosed.  Three of
these lawsuits have been  subsequently  voluntarily  dismissed by the parties to
these  lawsuits  and  the  other  two  lawsuits  are in  the  process  of  being
voluntarily dismissed.

13.    Property Acquisitions and Dispositions (continued)

(1)  The Company has contracts that require it to purchase 30.3 additional acres
     by June 2003. Certain minimum installment  payments are required;  however,
     the timing of purchases is at the Company's discretion.
(2)  The Company's sale of this property  resulted in a gain of $306.  $8,000 of
     the  proceeds  from  this  transaction  were  deposited  into an  escrow as
     additional  collateral  for the letters of credit that  enhance  $48,150 of
     industrial revenue bonds.
(3)  The  Company's  sale of this  property  resulted  in a gain  of  $512.  The
     proceeds of this sale were deposited into a tax deferred exchange trust and
     used to acquire 200 South Mitchell Court.
(4)  The  Company's  sale of this  property  resulted  in a gain of $1,622.  The
     proceeds of this sale were initially deposited into a tax deferred exchange
     trust. In November,  2001, the Company elected not to use these proceeds to
     acquire a replacement property but rather elected to use these proceeds for
     general  corporate  purposes.  A portion of the gain on this  property  was
     covered by tax  indemnity  agreements  with two  partners in the  Operating
     Partnership.  As a result,  the Company  will be liable to the partners for
     approximately $1,191 of tax indemnity payments under these agreements.
(5)  The  Company's  sale of this  parcel of land  adjacent to one of its office
     properties resulted in a gain of $405.
(6)  These parcels were acquired  from a limited  partner  common unit holder of
     the Operating Partnership.
(7)  These properties were sold in a single transaction with a total sales price
     of $20,200  resulting in a loss of  approximately  $3,900. A portion of the
     proceeds were used to pay off $17,300 of tax-exempt bonds.
(8)  These properties were sold in a single transaction with a total sales price
     of $16,800,  resulting in a gain of $121. The proceeds were used to pay off
     a $7,527  line of  credit  and  $9,200  was  deposited  into an  escrow  as
     collateral for existing tax-exempt bonds.
(9)  On April 19,  1999,  the Company  sold  approximately  161,710 net rentable
     square  feet  of  its  122  South  Michigan   Avenue  office   building  to
     National-Louis  University (NLU), resulting in a gain of $3,828. As part of
     this sale,  NLU has also acquired an undivided  31.56%  interest in certain
     common areas of the  property.  The Company  continued to own the remaining
     350,659 net rentable  square feet of the building and was  responsible  for
     the  management of the entire  property.  On August 21, 2000, the remaining
     portion  of the  building  was sold,  resulting  in an  additional  gain of
     $2,433.
(10) The  Company  formed  a  joint  venture  with  Multi-Employers  Development
     Partnership,   L.P.  to  develop  the  remaining  two,  three-story  office
     buildings at the Company's Pine Meadows  Corporate  Center in Libertyville,
     Illinois. The two buildings to be constructed will contain 202,000 rentable
     square feet.  The Company has a 10% interest in the joint venture and, upon
     completion of the buildings,  will receive  ongoing  management  fees and a
     proportionate  share of the earnings of the joint venture.  On December 21,
     2000, the Company  contributed  one of the two parcels of land. In exchange
     for this  contribution,  the Company received an initial capital account of
     $238,  resulting in a gain of $412. The Company has provided a guarantee to
     the joint venture for hard construction cost overruns,  if any. The Company
     is  recording  its  investment  in the new joint  venture  using the equity
     method of  accounting.  On January 8, 2002,  the Company  received  written
     notice from its joint venture partner,  in accordance with the terms of the
     joint venture agreement, of its intent not to fund its capital contribution
     necessary to develop a second building.
(11) On December 22, 2000, the Company contributed these parcels of land and two
     related  mortgage  notes  totaling  $28,000 to a newly formed joint venture
     with an affiliate of Pritzker Realty Group, L.P. ("Pritzker").  In exchange
     for the Company's  contribution,  the Company  received an initial  capital
     account of $21,007. The value of the Company's interest in the venture also
     included an  additional  ascribed  value of $13,014  relating to Pritzker's
     commitment  to cause it and its  affiliates  to enter  into  leases  in the
     development for at least 300,000 square feet once the proposed  building is
     constructed. As a result of this contribution,  the Company recorded a loss
     of $7,719 in 2000  representing  the difference  between the Company's book
     value at the date of  contribution,  net of the  $28,000  of debt,  and the
     total value of its interest in the joint venture. The joint venture intends
     to construct an  approximately  1.2 million square foot office  building on
     the site.  The Company  recorded its  investment in the joint venture using
     the equity method of accounting.  On January 16, 2002, the Company assigned
     its interest in the joint venture to its joint venture  partner for $22,937
     and repaid the $16,500 it borrowed from the joint venture  partner in 2001.
     The Company has an option until June 28, 2002 to repurchase its interest in
     the joint venture for $22,937, plus a 10% compounded return. As a result of
     assessing the effect of the impending  assignment of the Company's interest
     in the joint venture,  the Company  recorded a $15,088  provision for asset
     impairment during 2001.
(12) These properties were sold in a single transaction  resulting in a deferred
     gain of $3,570.  As a condition of the sale,  the Company  agreed to assume
     responsibility  for  releasing two of the  properties  for a period of five
     years after the  expiration  in 2000 and 2001 of the then  existing  tenant
     leases. The Company's  remaining nominal gross lease obligation at December
     31, 2001 is approximately $13,757. During 2001, the Company released one of
     the  properties and revised its leasing  assumptions  related to the second
     property.  At  December  31,  2001,  the  Company  has a net  liability  of
     approximately  $3,948 in liabilities for leases assumed,  representing  its
     estimate  of the net  liability  anticipated  related  to this  obligation.
     Correspondingly, the remaining deferred gains have been reduced to zero and
     the  Company  has  recorded a loss on the sale of real  estate of $2,553 in
     2001.
(13) On September 30, 1999, the Company sold a 50% common interest and a $66,000
     preferred  interest in the 77 West Wacker Drive office building for $22,000
     resulting  in a gain of $48,339.  The  remaining  50% common  interest  was
     contributed  to 77 West Wacker Drive,  LLC ("77 LLC") in exchange for a 50%
     common ownership  interest,  which is accounted for using the equity method
     of  accounting.  At  December  31,  2001,  2000  and  1999,  the  Company's
     investment in 77 LLC was a deficit of $5,260, $530 and $1,019, (included in
     investments in unconsolidated entities) respectively, consisting of $1,484,
     $489 and $256  representing its share of 77 LLC's  operations  (included in
     other revenue) net of $1,535 and $1,275 of  distributions  received from 77
     LLC for the period  ended  December 31, 2001 and 1999,  respectively.  Also
     included in the investment in 77 LLC is $4,679  representing  the Company's
     share of amortization of the other comprehensive loss in 2001. In addition,
     the joint venture owed the Company $545 and $1,390 at December 31, 2001 and
     2000,  respectively and the Company owed the joint venture $719 at December
     31, 1999  (included in other  receivables).  At December 31, 2001 and 2000,
     the debt  obligations  of the joint  venture were  $162,000  and  $166,000,
     respectively.

On December 16, 1997, the
Company acquired for  approximately  $51,163 in cash and $5,100 in common units,
the first  mortgage  note  encumbering  the office  property  known as 180 North
LaSalle Street.  During 2000 and 1999, the Company made  additional  advances of
$10,908 and $17,146, respectively,  which were used to fund the redevelopment of
the building and pay various operating expenses.  The note provides for interest
at an accrual  rate of 9.64% per annum,  and a minimum  pay rate at the lower of
8.25% per annum, or $2,400 annually,  as defined,  payable monthly.  During 2000
and 1999, the Company  received  interest  income payments of $3,009 and $4,728,
respectively.  During the years ended  December  31,  2000 and 1999,  $1,855 and
$1,995,  respectively,  of interest  income was added to the principal  balance.

13.    Property Acquisitions and Dispositions (continued)

Included in the purchase of
the first mortgage was a  non-refundable  option to acquire the existing $85,000
second  mortgage on the 180 North LaSalle  Street  property for $4,400 in common
units of the Operating  Partnership.  Under the terms of the option, the Company
was required to issue Operating  Partnership  common units on a monthly basis to
the then current holder of the second mortgage valued at the lower of $20.00 per
unit or the  Company’s  common share price at the date issued (5,000 common
units per month if the  Company’s  common share Company received an initial
capital  account of $21,007.  The value of the  Company’s  market value was
equal to or greater than $20.00 per share;  or $100 in common units per month if
the Company’s common share market value was below $20.00 per share); 41,898
and 80,442  common  units were  issued  under the option  during the years ended
December 31, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  In 2000 and 1999, the holder of such
common units redeemed 90,460 and 53,611 common units,  respectively,  for common
shares of the Company on a one-for one basis.  At December 31, 1999,  $2,500 was
included in other assets  related to the option.  On August 1, 2000, the Company
acquired  the second  mortgage  which had an  outstanding  principal  balance of
$90,625  under the terms of the  option for  $1,300 of cash.  On this date,  the
Company also redeemed and canceled $700 of common units (45,287  common  units),
which were previously  issued  pursuant to the option.  The Company will receive
all of the economic  benefits  from its interest in the property and  therefore,
has  consolidated  the operations of the property  effective August 1, 2000. The
Company  also has an option to purchase  the equity  ownership  of the  property
during the period from  January 15, 2004 to February  15, 2004 for a price equal
to the greater of the fair market value of the interest or $2,000. During 1999, the Company
provided  construction  management  services  to the 180  North  LaSalle  Street
property  of $585,  to the  property,  which  have been  added to the  principal
balance.  The Services Company provides property management and leasing services
for  the  property  pursuant  to a  10-year  management  and  leasing  contract.
The Company owns a 23.1%
common interest in Plumcor Thistle, LLC, which owns a 386,048 square foot office
building located in Phoenix,  Arizona,  that opened in late 1999. The Company is
accounting  for its  investment  using  the  equity  method of  accounting.  The
Company’s interest is included in investments in unconsolidated real estate
joint ventures ($1,856 and $3,799 at December 31, 2001 and 2000,  respectively).

15.  Segment Reporting

Operating segments are
defined  as  components  of  an  enterprise   about  which  separate   financial
information  is  available  that is evaluated  regularly by the chief  operating
decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate  resources
and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision makers
manage  its  operating  segments   separately  because  each  operating  segment
represents  a  strategic  business  unit  that has  different  issues  and serve
different markets. The Company’s  reportable operating segments include its
office division and industrial division,  with properties principally located in
the Chicago  metropolitan  area. The Company evaluates its office and industrial
divisions operations principally on their contribution to overall net income and
funds from operations.

16.  Subsequent Events

Under  the terms of the two
construction loans relating to Dearborn Center totaling $290,000, the Company is
required,  among other things, to maintain $20,000 in unrestricted cash balances
at the end of each fiscal  quarter.  At December 31,  2001,  the Company did not
have sufficient  unrestricted cash balance to meet this requirement.  During the
first quarter of 2002, the Company obtained waivers from the respective lenders.
In  consideration  for the waivers from the  lenders,  the Company agreed to
deposit $2,000 into a cash collateral account over a four-month  period,  of which
$500 was deposited at the time the waiver was obtained,  and to pledge,  as
additional  collateral under the loans, the tax increment  financing  assistance
that it will receive from the City of Chicago  with  respect to Dearborn  Center.
The waiver  covers the  quarters  ended  December  31, 2001 and March 31,  2002.
Additionally,  the lenders agreed to permanently reduce the $20,000 unrestricted
cash balance covenant to $17,500.Under the terms of three
mortgage  loans payable  totaling  $81,105,  the Company is required to maintain
$20,000 in  unrestricted  cash  balances at the end of each fiscal  quarter.  At
December  31,  2001,  the  Company  did not have  sufficient  unrestricted  cash
balances to meet this requirement. During the first quarter of 2002, the Company
obtained a waiver from the lender for the quarter ended  December 31, 2001.  The
Company  does not expect to meet this  requirement  as of March 31,  2002 and is
engaged in discussions with the lender to obtain a waiver for the fiscal quarter
ended March 31, 2002.
Under the terms of a
$20,000  mortgage  note payable  collateralized  by three of the  Company’s
properties,  and a $9,000 letter of credit  facility  with the same lender,  the
Company is required to limit the amount of distributions that can be paid to its
common shareholders/unitholders to a maximum of 90% of funds from operations (as
defined) for each calendar  year. At December 31, 2001, the Company did not meet
this  requirement with respect to calendar year 2001. In March 2002, the Company
obtained  amendments  to the mortgage  loan and the letter of credit  faciltity.
Under the amendments, the Company obtained a waiver of the distribution covenant
for calendar year 2001,  and agreed,  among other  things,  to increase a $3,500
guaranty related to a $12,500 mezzanine  facility on its 33 West Monroe property
with the same lender to a full guaranty of such mezzanine loan. On January 2, 2002, the
Company purchased $23,250 of tax-exempt industrial development revenue bonds and
obtained  replacement  letters of credit  having a  maturity  date of January 2,
2007,  enhancing  the remaining  bonds of $24,900.  The  replacement  letters of
credit  totaling  $25,241  are   collateralized  by  mortgages  on  the  related
industrial  facilities  and have an annual fee (paid  annually)  of 2.35% of the
letters of credit face amounts which will be included in interest  expense.  The
agreement  with the  financial  institution  providing  the  letters  of  credit
includes a future  lease value  clawback  provision  which  compares the lenders
credit risk with the underlying value of the related industrial facilities.  The
Company is required to deposit $2,526 into a cash collateral escrow by March 31,
2002 under this provision.  Any future changes in property values will result in
additional  deposits or releases of funds from the cash  collateral  escrow on a
quarterly basis. In addition,  the Company has guaranteed all obligations  under
this replacement  letter of credit facility.  In order to secure the obligations
under the guarantee,  the Company pledged the bonds purchased of $23,250 as well
as certain property assets. On January 8, 2002, the
Company  received from its joint venture  partner in the Pine Meadows  Corporate
Center development in Libertyville, Illinois, written notice, in accordance with
the terms of the joint venture  agreement,  of the joint venture  partners’
intent  not to fund its  capital  contribution  necessary  to  develop  a second
building. On January 9, 2002 the
Company  extended the maturity date of the $30,000 mortgage note payable secured
by 100%  of its  ownership  interest  in IBM  Plaza,  Chicago,  Illinois,  until
February 23, 2003 for a fee of $188.  The  principal  balance as of December 31,
2001 was $29,400. On January 15, 2002, the
Company extended the $8,000 mortgage note payable collateralized by the land the
Company owns in Aurora,  Illinois  until  February 15, 2002 for a fee of $80. On
February 5, 2002, the Company repaid $2,200 reducing the loan balance to $5,800.
On February 15 2002,  the  Company  extended  the loan until March 1, 2002 for a
nominal fee plus  expenses of the lender.  On  February  28,  2002,  the Company
repaid $2,800 reducing the loan balance to $3,000. On March 1, 2002, the Company
extended  the loan until  March 31,  2002 for a fee of $30 plus  expenses of the
lender and agreed that the interest  rate would  increase by 2% on each of March
16, 2002,  March 23, 2002 and March 30,  2002,  if the loan has not been repaid.
Both  principal  reductions  made in 2002 were  generated from proceeds from the
sale of vacant land in Aurora, Illinois. On January 16, 2002, the
Company  assigned its interest in a joint venture to its joint  venture  partner
for $22,937 and used a portion of the  proceeds to repay the $16,500 it borrowed

until June 28, 2002 to repurchase  its interest in the joint venture for $22,937
plus a 10%  compounded  return.  As a result  of  assessing  the  effect  of the
impending  assignment of the Company’s  interest in the joint venture,  the
Company  recorded  a  $15,088   provision  for  asset  impairment   during  2001
On January 31, 2002, the
Company paid  distributions  of $0.375 per Series A Preferred  share and $0.5625

On February 5, 2002, the

trust.  The Services  Company agreed to act as the developer in connection  with
the  construction of a 350,000 square foot build to suit industrial  building on
this  property.  In connection  with this sale,  the Services  Company agreed to
acquire a 222,840 square foot industrial  building  located in Aurora,  Illinois
for $10,350.  The Services  Company has contracted with a third party to acquire
this property for a purchase price of $10,350. As part of the sale, the Services
Company will master lease vacant space in the building for two years for a total
rent of approximately $666. On February 15, 2002, the
Company  extended the maturity date from May 9, 2002 to November 9, 2002 for the
letters of credit enhancing the industrial  revenue bonds for an office property
located in Knoxville, Tennessee, for a fee of $35. On February 22, 2002, the
Company  amended the securities  purchase  agreement with the Series A Preferred
Shareholder and agreed to pay a deferral payment, as defined, of 3.5% calculated
on the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares. This payment accrues from February
8, 2002 to the date of notice of redemption  and compounds  quarterly  beginning
March 31, 2002.  The deferral  payment  increases by 0.50% every 90 days up to a
maximum rate of 5.25%. On February 28, 2002, the
Company  sold  52.5  acres  of  vacant  land in  Aurora,  Illinois  for  $6,998.
Approximately  33  acres of the 52.5  acres  were  acquired  by the  Company  on
February 28, 2002 for a purchase price of $2,664. On March 7, 2002, pursuant

of Stephen J. Nardi,  a Company  Trustee,  for a total  purchase price of $3,254

     the period from  November  17, 1997 through  December  31, 1997,  have been
     restated in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors
     of NAREIT in its 1999  White  Paper,  which  results  in the  exclusion  of
     certain   nonrecurring   items  and  the   inclusion   of  the  effects  of
     straight-line  rental revenue.  Periods prior to November 17, 1997 have not
     been restated due to the unavailability of certain required information.
