ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

THE COMPANY

CenterPoint Properties Trust ("CenterPoint" or the "Company"), a publicly
traded real estate investment trust (REIT), is the first major REIT to focus on
the industrial sector. CenterPoint is focused on providing unsurpassed tenant
satisfaction, and adding value to its shareholders through customer-driven
management, investment, development, and redevelopment of warehouse,
distribution, light manufacturing, and airfreight buildings. The Company is a
Maryland business trust and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol CNT.

CenterPoint began operations in 1984 as Capital and Regional Properties
Corporation, the United States investment vehicle for Capital and Regional plc,
a London Stock Exchange traded property company since 1986. CenterPoint
completed its U.S. initial public offering in December 1993, after consolidating
its operations with, and acquiring the properties controlled by, FCLS Investors
Group, a Chicago-based industrial development company with 30 years local
experience. The Company's history provides it with the longest public experience
of any industrial property REIT.

Although the Company believes it is the largest owner and operator of
warehouse/industrial property in the 1.25 billion square-foot Greater Chicago
Region, its portfolio represented 2.4% of the market (based on square footage)
as of December 31, 2000. This market share allows the Company substantial
opportunities for future growth.

Underpinning the value of CenterPoint's portfolio is the strength of its
internal resources. Key among these is management experience. CenterPoint's
management staff averages 20 years of experience in the industry. Enabled by
strong ties to the real estate development community, an in-depth knowledge of
the market sector, and the ability to gauge and anticipate market trends,
management can creatively and flexibly accommodate tenant requirements in a
manner that is mutually beneficial.

BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND GROWTH PLANS

The Company's fundamental business objective is to maximize total return to
shareholders through increases in per share distributions and increases in the
value of the Company's franchise. In 2000, the company achieved a total return
of 37%. Since its IPO in December 1993, the Company has outperformed the S&P
500, NASDAQ, Dow Jones and NAREIT Equity Index on a total return, dividends
reinvested basis.

To achieve its objective of maximizing shareholder returns, the Company
pursues complementary operating, investment, financial, and merchant strategies.
Efficient systems and processes support the execution of the Company's business.

- PORTFOLIO OPERATIONS. The Company seeks to grow its results from
operations by increasing revenues through lease renewals or replacements
at increased rental rates and by increasing occupancy where vacancies
exist. The Company believes that above average rental growth is primarily
achievable because the Company's focus on tenant service generates higher
renewal and occupancy rates. Moreover, the Company's size, Chicago focus
and market penetration provides superior access to favorable leasing
transactions and investments offering below market rents and growth
opportunities. The Company's portfolio on December 31, 2000 included 170
industrial properties having 27.8 million square feet and was 96% leased
and occupied.

- INVESTMENT. The Company believes that per share growth is maximized
through investment activity concentrating on properties offering immediate
cash yields above its long-term cost of

capital, with the potential for rapid yield growth. The Company seeks to
invest exclusively in warehouse/industrial properties that satisfy its
yield and growth objectives through the lease up of vacancy, property
expansion, redevelopment, or the development or disposition of surplus
land. The Company strictly limits speculative investment.

- MERCHANT ACTIVITIES. To maximize the return on invested capital and per
share cash flow growth, the Company aggressively recycles capital from
mature to new growth opportunities. Management seeks to dispose of
properties where growth has been fully realized, measured by a property's
achievable prospective free cash flow relative to its current net market
value. As an allied strategy, the Company undertakes the development of
buildings for immediate sale to users or investors. In combination, these
"merchant" transactions(undertaken within CenterPoint Realty
Services, Inc., the Company's taxable affiliate and CenterPoint Venture
LLC, the Company's investment partnership with CalEast), provide
substantial capital for reinvestment, as well as attractive fees and
profits boosting the Company's return on invested capital.

- FINANCIAL. The Company maintains conservative financial and leverage
policies to provide financial capacity and flexibility. This strategy
facilitates opportunistic investment by helping assure substantial in
place liquidity. The Company's active disposition program, plus
significant retained cash flow, account for a substantial share of
required investment capital, enhancing per share cash flow growth and
returns. The Company and its affiliates maintain $520 million in lines of
credit. The Company's financial strategy also allows it to secure capital
in the most favorable markets. CenterPoint benefits from investment grade
ratings on its senior unsecured debt and preferred securities, providing
substantial execution efficiency and a lower overall cost of capital.

- MANAGEMENT CONTROLS AND SYSTEMS. To facilitate its business, the Company
has implemented effective information and governance systems, which it
seeks to continually improve. The Company believes that it enjoys
significant operating and financial benefits attributable to these
systems, including better tenant service, improved investment execution,
and enhanced capital planning, all of which the Company believes
contribute to better per share earnings growth and shareholder returns.

BUSINESS FOCUS

As CenterPoint continues to grow, its mission remains to become the
industrial landlord of choice in the Greater Chicago region. CenterPoint
endeavors to achieve this goal by providing creative solutions for the changing
industrial space needs of its current and prospective tenants. This focus both
cultivates and sustains long-term tenant relationships, which contributes to
better margins and earnings stability. CenterPoint serves its tenants by seeking
to provide high-quality, attractive space at competitive rates; unwavering
attention to the care and maintenance of its properties; operating charges that
reflect economic responsibility; and rapid response to expansion, relocation and
other space requirements. In 2000, CenterPoint achieved a 96% tenant retention
rate, evidencing its commitment to tenant satisfaction.

CenterPoint's business plan is anchored by the following six disciplines:

FOCUS ON INDUSTRIAL REAL ESTATE. The Company focuses on
warehouse/industrial properties, because management believes this property type,
for the following reasons, offers consistently attractive returns and stable
cash flow:

- LOW CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. The cost per square foot of developing
warehouse/industrial properties typically ranges between $40-45 per square
foot, which is lower than the cost of developing other types of property.
From the Company's perspective, this results in less

capital committed to any particular property, permitting greater
diversification of the Company's risk. In addition, relative to other
property types, fewer tenant improvements are required to renew or lease
warehouse/industrial space, minimizing the level of recurring capital
expenditures necessary to sustain rental income.

- HIGH LEVEL OF TENANT INVESTMENT. Unlike office, retail and multi-family
buildings, most warehouse/industrial buildings are occupied by a single
tenant. Relocation tends to be costly for tenants of warehouse/industrial
properties because of high tenant investment in production set-up
expenses, machinery and other site specific improvements (in many cases
higher than the landlord's investment). To avoid these costs, tenants
typically lease space that exceeds their immediate needs or that is
readily expandable. Tenant retention and expansion therefore tend to be
higher than for other property types.

- FAVORABLE LEASE TERMS. Warehouse/industrial buildings generally are leased
on a "triple net" basis, under which tenants are contractually obligated
to pay directly, or reimburse the landlord, for virtually all costs of
occupancy, including property taxes, utilities, insurance and maintenance.
In addition, the leases generally provide for rent growth through
contractual rent increases, matching or often exceeding average price
inflation.

- SUPPLY BUILT ON DEMAND. The comparatively short development period for
industrial buildings (typically six to nine months) relative to other
property types has resulted in less speculative building and, therefore, a
supply of industrial property that more closely corresponds to tenant
demand. This has kept vacancy levels, on average, lower than for other
property types and has produced greater rental rate stability.

- LIMITED COMPETITION. Higher overall investment returns are more achievable
for warehouse/ industrial property than other property types because such
assets, typically $5 million to $10 million in purchase price, are too
small to justify institutional attention. The Company's typical competitor
for assets of this size is a sponsor of a single asset partnership that
typically has a higher cost of capital and less financial flexibility than
the Company.

- READILY SALEABLE. Industrial real estate both individually and packaged as
portfolios is sought by a wide variety of institutional and other
investors because of the relative stability of its returns. The consistent
investment demand for industrial assets is important to CenterPoint's
overall strategy of reducing the need for external capital by recycling
capital, through dispositions, from mature assets to new opportunities.

FOCUS ON GREATER CHICAGO. CenterPoint's target market, Greater Chicago, is
comprised of the region within a 150-mile radius of the City of Chicago,
including Milwaukee, Wisconsin and South Bend, Indiana. This region offers
significant opportunities for investment in, and ownership of,
warehouse/industrial property. Greater Chicago lies at the center of one of the
nation's principal population and production regions. With over 1.25 billion
square-feet of industrial/warehouse space and 24 diverse submarkets (according
to a ranking of markets published by CB Richard Ellis), Greater Chicago has
become the largest and most diverse warehouse/industrial market. Its regional
advantages have led to significant business in Chicago making it second only to
New York in the number of Fortune 500 companies. As a consequence of its
geographic location, the Midwest is the continent's premier transportation hub,
possessing attributes critical to a highly diverse industrial real estate
market.

- TRANSPORTATION ADVANTAGES. The Midwest's transportation network, a
consequence of it's central continental location, underpins its status as
a manufacturing and distribution center. Extensive transportation
infrastructure integrates Greater Chicago with the Midwest, as well as
other important business and distribution centers, including Los Angeles
and northern New Jersey. The State of Illinois enacted a $12 billion
infrastructure program in 1999, which will be

available for road, rail and other infrastructure improvements in the
metropolitan Chicago area, enhancing its ability to attract and maintain
business.

Because Chicago serves as a rail, road, air and water hub, Chicago has
benefited from the emergence of intermodal transportation, which is the
movement of goods, usually containerized, by two or more modes of
transportation. Nearly three-quarters of national rail freight passes
through Chicago and intermodal traffic has been the fastest growing
segment. Most of the railway yards have been converted to handle intermodal
traffic. Chicago is the third largest container hub after Singapore and
Hong Kong.

A comparable driver of regional industrial development is O'Hare
International Airport, one of the country's fastest growing airfreight
intermodal hubs. O'Hare is expected to continue to spur industrial real
estate activity with the growth of businesses reliant on the air transport
of product and components. With an average annual increase of 6% in
airfreight volume over the last 4 years, O'Hare handles approximately 3,900
tons of airfreight per day, along with the nearly 70 million commercial
passengers it serves annually.

- BUSINESS DIVERSITY. Regional diversity provides the Company with
opportunities to capitalize on different trends affecting real estate
demand and usage in a wide range of industries. An assorted tenant base
also lessens the Company's cyclical risk, reducing its exposure to changes
in the fortunes of any single type of business. Virtually all of the
"Global 1000" maintain facilities in the Chicago metro area. As in other
large industrial metro areas, Chicago's diversity has been increasing due
to its transformation from a manufacturing to a service-based economy.
Manufacturing employment makes up 15% of the employment base currently,
well below that of many other midwestern metro areas. The diversification
of the regional economy into services accelerated during the recent
expansion as manufacturers continued to restructure operations to lower
costs. The business services industry has been one of the main drivers of
the Chicago economy during the past decade.

The growth of high-tech industries, both manufacturing and service-based,
also holds promise for diversifying the region's employment base and
enhancing prospective demand for industrial and distribution space. The
concentration of high-technology employment ranks Chicago fourth in the
nation behind San Jose, Boston and Washington D.C.

The growth in regional retail activity has also contributed to the demand
for distribution facilities. The region ranks as the nation's third most
populous metro area with 8 million residents. Such companies as Safeway,
Jewel-Osco, Walgreens and Meijer's, among others, are expanding their
presence in the area at a prodigious rate, with expanded space requirements
to service retail operations.

The Company believes other factors favor the continued health of Chicago's
industrial property market. These include a skilled labor force, plentiful
water resources, and utility deregulation expected to improve the
competitiveness of regional manufacturing. In addition, management believes
a favorable political climate exists for attracting and retaining business.
The State of Illinois, the City of Chicago and other area municipalities
have worked aggressively and creatively to promote area business
development, activity directly linked to industrial space demand.

FOCUS ON TENANT SATISFACTION. To become the landlord of choice in the
Greater Chicago Region, the Company strives to provide the highest possible
service to its tenants by addressing its tenants' occupancy needs and meeting
their evolving space requirements. Management believes tenant satisfaction,
resulting from the Company's "hands on" management approach, fuels rental
revenues by increasing tenant retention, minimizing re-letting expense and
facilitating rental

increases. Management also believes that tenant satisfaction creates profitable
expansion and build-to-suit opportunities from existing tenants.

The Company views tenant service as a key factor in its business and has
established tenant satisfaction as one of its primary corporate goals. To
develop its tenant franchise, the Company provides a variety of tenant services:
high quality, attractive space; fair billing practices; obtaining the lowest
possible utility, insurance and real estate tax charges; and responding rapidly
to expansion or space reconfiguration requests.

The Company's tenant service strategy benefits from the size and
concentration of the Company's real estate holdings in Greater Chicago. As a
large owner of warehouse/industrial properties in a single geographic market,
the Company believes it can obtain for its tenants the benefits of bulk purchase
of goods and services. Management believes that minimizing tenants' occupancy
costs builds tenant loyalty and provides the Company with a significant
marketing advantage. In 1998, the Company formed CenterPoint Capital Funding,
LLC ("CenterPoint Capital") to offer its tenants funding for non-real estate
requirements, principally equipment, related to the occupancy and use of the
Company's properties. Funding originated by CenterPoint Capital is brokered in
the marketplace or fully funded by non-recourse debt. The Company believes
making available to its tenants and prospects a "turn-key" facility enhances
tenant satisfaction and ultimately the strength of the Company's franchise.

To motivate employees to provide the highest level of tenant service, the
Company has established a pay-for-performance compensation plan under which the
incentive pay of each participating employee depends in part on the results of
an annual tenant satisfaction survey, independently administered by CEL &
Associates and the Company's independent trustees. Employee incentive pay is
also dependent on the achievement of targeted per share funds from operations
and the results of a company-wide audit pertaining to the adherence to internal
processes and procedures, all of which the Company believes enhances tenant
service.

FOCUS ON VALUE-ADDED INVESTMENTS. The Company seeks to acquire
warehouse/industrial properties that have an initial cash yield greater than the
Company's long term cost of capital (currently estimated to be 9.5% to 10.5%),
that offer the best opportunity for cash flow growth, and that meet the
Company's investment criteria. Management has established strategies for
responding to every stage of the economic cycle, altering its investment
emphasis through the recovery, strong economy, and recession phases. This
ensures that when conditions change, the Company is well prepared to meet the
needs of its clients with minimal reaction time. All investment activities are
focused on creating value for its tenants by providing high quality and
efficient facilities at attractive rental rates.

- RECOVERY U ACQUISITIONS. During a recovering economy, CenterPoint acquires
existing leased generic industrial buildings that are suitable for a wide
variety of tenant uses. Traditionally, the seller is a company that is
growing rapidly and can better invest its capital in its own business
rather than in owning bricks and mortar. CenterPoint takes on that
responsibility and enhances the facility through professional management.

- STRONG ECONOMY U BUILD-TO-SUITS. During a strong economy, many tenants
want to expand their space. As a result of the comfort level achieved
through CenterPoint's long-term relationships with their tenants, as well
as constant communication, the Company can ascertain the specific
requirements of the tenant's future home. It can then be designed and
built in the right location, on time, and within budget.

- RECESSION U REDEVELOPMENTS. During a weaker economy, companies, on
average, want to shrink capacity. Therefore, CenterPoint has developed a
number of refinements within older, economically viable properties,
completely rebuilding an existing facility within a tenant's time

frame. By understanding their tenant's business needs, the Company can
envision the potential of a building and match it to the market.

In addition to revenues from value-added investments, the Company earns fees
from the development of assets for purchase by tenants and institutions.
Typically, these transactions have yields below the Company's investment return
hurdle, but offer substantial profit opportunities relative to the level of
required capital and management time. The Company believes it is afforded these
opportunities as a consequence of the size of its existing portfolio and its
market penetration. The Company's fee development business has been, and is
expected to continue to be, a recurring source of revenue.

FOCUS ON OPERATIONS. The Company is a full service, self managed real
estate company. Six regions, each serving a particular segment of Greater
Chicago, are operated by a team consisting of a regional manager, one or more
property managers, administrative assistants, maintenance, and accounting
support personnel. Property management staff are required to visit each tenant,
on site, at least once every 90 days, and more frequently as warranted by tenant
needs.

The Company believes its competitive advantage derives from its market
penetration, local expertise, tenant relationships and quality reputation with
the Greater Chicago area. Another competitive advantage is its "state of the
art" information system that fully integrates corporate, property management and
accounting systems, enabling the Company to monitor and project each asset and
its financial performance. The Company believes this long-term platform is
capable of supporting its operating and financial objectives as well as its
continued strong growth.

FOCUS ON CONSERVING CAPITAL. The Company seeks to create and maintain
substantial balance sheet capacity, which provides the Company flexibility to
opportunistically tap favorably priced capital to support accretive investments.
The Company believes it can maximize internal capital formation by
(i) investing at yields above its long-term cost of capital; (ii) pursuing
current and future long-term debt financings and refinancings on an unsecured
basis; and (iii) redeploying its capital through asset sales. The Company will
seek, where possible, to sell properties and re-deploy the proceeds of such
sales in higher yielding opportunities where the Company believes significant
value can be added. Disposition activity is integral to the Company's funding
strategy and gains on sale are a regular and recurring component of the
Company's revenues.

To enhance its merchant activities and further expand its capital base, the
Company, during 2000, formed CenterPoint Venture LLC ("CenterPoint Venture"), a
partnership with CalEast, an investment vehicle between the California Public
Employees Retirement System and LaSalle Investment Management. CenterPoint
Venture was formed to position, package and sell stabilized industrial property
investment opportunities routinely passed over by the Company due to its
"value-added" focus. The $200 million fund is capitalized with equity
commitments of $60 million by CalEast and $20 million by CenterPoint and
supported by a $120 million credit facility. The company will receive an 11%
cumulative return to its equity capital and 50% of the distributions, as well as
transaction, administrative and property management fees.

TRANSACTIONS DURING 2000

During 2000, the Company accomplished the following:

2000 ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS:

- During 2000, the Company acquired or completed development of 22
warehouse/industrial properties and one office property totaling
4.3 million square feet and invested approximately $201.4 million in total
acquisitions and construction in progress owned at the REIT level. In
order to fund this investment activity, the Company disposed of 37
warehouse/industrial

properties totaling approximately 2.8 million square feet for
approximately $111.0 million from the owned portfolio.

- On August 10, 2000, the Company purchased a portion of the former Joliet
Arsenal, an Army munitions manufacturing facility closed in 1976, from the
United States Army for redevelopment. The approximately 2,000 acre project
will be one the nation's largest private developments. Over the next
12 years, the Company plans to build as much as 17 million square feet of
distribution and manufacturing space in an industrial park adjacent to a
major multi-modal rail facility to be operated by the Burlington Northern
and Santa Fe Railway Company (BNSF). BNSF has agreed to lease
approximately 560 acres in a phased take down over four years at an
initial rent of $0.1933 per foot, escalating at 2.5% per annum and has
additionally agreed to acquire 57 acres for development of the multi-modal
facility. The Company expects to fund total improvements for the project
of $650 million, which will be offset by entitlements of approximately
$200 million.

- CenterPoint Venture, formed in January 2000, acquired $91.9 million in
2000 and initiated $4.2 million in development. The Venture is expected to
cmplete its first portfolio sale in 2001. Also, in 2000, the Venture
secured a credit facility of $120 million to finance, on average, 60% of
its investment outlays.

2000 SECURITIES ACTIVITIES:

- In November, 2000, the Company completed a public offering of 1,500,000
common shares at $43.25 per share for net proceeds of $64.3 million. The
proceeds from this offering were used to pay down the Company's revolving
line of credit.

2000 FINANCINGS:

- On January 12, 2000 the Company issued $150 million 7.9% senior unsecured
notes due January 15, 2003. The notes were underwritten by Lehman Brothers
Holdings, with A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC,
Bank One Capital Markets, Inc., and First Union Securities acting as
co-managers. The net proceeds of issuance of approximately $149.1 million
were used to pay down the Company's lines of credit.

- In September, 2000, the Company increased its unsecured line of credit
facility, which originated in October, 1996, to $350,000,000. The interest
rate at December 31, 2000 ranges from 7.6875% to 7.8125% (LIBOR plus 1.0%)
for LIBOR borrowings and Prime Rate (9.5%) for other borrowings. The line
requires payments of interest only when LIBOR contracts mature and monthly
on borrowings under Prime Rate.

SUBSEQUENT TRANSACTIONS

On January 24, 2001 the Lake Shore Dunes property was sold and the
$21.3 million mortgage note payable that was secured by the property was assumed
by the new owner.

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of
CRS. In connection with the acquisition, the CRS preferred stock owned by the
Company was cancelled. For the year ended December 31, 2001 and thereafter, the
operations of CRS will be fully consolidated with the Company. During 2001, the
Company will elect for CRS to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary, as
permitted by the Tax Relief Extension Act of 1999.

EMPLOYEES

At March 8, 2001, the Company had 95 full-time employees. Of the full-time
employees, 82 are involved with property management, development, operations,
leasing and acquisition activities,

and 13 are involved with finance and general administration, financing
activities and human resources.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a
current or previous owner, developer or operator of real estate may be liable
for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances
at, on, under or in its property. The costs of removal or remediation of such
substances can be substantial. Such laws often impose liability without regard
to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or
presence of such hazardous substances. The presence of such substances may
adversely affect the owner's ability to sell such real estate or to borrow using
such real estate as collateral. The Company has not been notified by any
governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability or other claim in
connection with any of the properties owned or being acquired as of
December 31, 2000, and the Company is not aware of any environmental condition
with respect to any of its properties that is likely to have a material adverse
effect on the Company. The Company has subjected each of its properties to a
Phase I environmental assessment (which does not involve invasive procedures
such as soil sampling or ground water analysis) by independent consultants.
While some of these assessments have led to further investigation and sampling,
none of the environmental assessments has revealed, nor is the Company aware of,
any environmental liability (including asbestos-related liability) that the
Company believes would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial
condition or results of operations. No assurance can be given, however, that
these assessments and investigations reveal all potential environmental
liabilities, or that no prior owner or operator created any material
environmental condition not known to the Company or the independent consultants
or that future uses or conditions (including, without limitation, customer
actions or changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations) will not
result in unreimbursed costs relating to environmental liabilities.

COMPETITION

All of the Company's existing properties are, and all of the properties that
it may acquire in the future are expected to be, located in areas that include
numerous other warehouse/industrial properties, many of which may be deemed to
be more suitable to a potential tenant than the Company's properties. The
resulting competition could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
ability to lease its properties and to increase the rentals charged on existing
leases.

INVESTMENT IN AND ADVANCES TO AFFILIATES

The Company holds approximately 99% of the economic interest in CenterPoint
Realty Services Corporation, an Illinois corporation ("CRS"). To maintain
compliance with limitations on income from business activities received by REITs
and their qualified REIT subsidiaries, the Company holds its interest in CRS in
the form of non-voting equity ownership, which qualifies CRS as an
unconsolidated taxable subsidiary. Since its inception, CRS has been engaged in
the development, purchase, and sale of warehouse/industrial real estate, and has
provided third party consulting services in conjunction with other merchant
activities.

As of December 31, 2000, the Company had advanced to CRS approximately
$49.9 million under a demand loan with interest rates ranging from 8.125% to
10.125%. The proceeds of the loan were required for development projects.
Principal and interest are due upon demand. For further financial information
relating the CRS, see footnote 5 of the attached financial statements.

CRS owns 25% of CenterPoint Venture which is engaged in merchant activities.
The Company provides property management services for the Venture, and also
earns fees associated with the administration of the Venture and acquisitions
and dispositions completed by the Venture.

As mentioned before, effective January 1, 2001, CRS has made the election to
be treated as a taxable REIT Subsidiary. The Company purchased the balance of
the common stock of CRS not previously owned making CRS a 100% owned subsidiary.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

THE COMPANY'S WAREHOUSE/INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES

At December 31, 2000, the Company's investment portfolio of
warehouse/industrial properties consisted of 160 properties owned at the Company
level and 10 properties owned at the CRS level, totaling approximately
27.8 million square feet, with a diverse base of more than 275 tenants engaged
in a wide variety of businesses.

The Company's current properties are well located, with convenient access to
area interstate highway, rail, and air transportation. Most of the properties,
both free standing and those located in CenterPoint Business Centers(TM), are
typically designed for warehousing and distribution. The properties have an
average project size of 163,258 square feet, and, on average, a tenant at an
industrial property occupies 98,070 rentable square feet. Although a number of
the industrial properties are single-tenant facilities, all are designed to be
divisible and to be leased by multiple tenants.

The leases for the warehouse/industrial properties currently owned by the
Company have terms between one and 18 years, with a weighted average remaining
lease term, weighted on current rent, of approximately 5.1 years as of
December 31, 2000. In addition, rent from no single warehouse/ industrial tenant
comprised more than 5% of the Company's total revenues as of December 31, 2000.

The Company's present warehousing and distribution properties, as well as
warehousing and distribution properties under contract, are designed for bulk
storage of materials and manufactured goods in buildings with interior heights
typically of 22 feet or more. All of the warehousing and distribution properties
have dock facilities for trucks as well as grade level loading for lighter
vehicles and vans. Typically, the distribution buildings are used for storage
and contain a minimal amount of office space.

OPTIONS TO PURCHASE GRANTED TO CERTAIN TENANTS

The following warehouse/industrial properties of the Company are subject to
purchase options granted to certain tenants as follows:

- 8901 102nd Street, Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin is subject to an option to
purchase exercisable on February 28, 2006 at a purchase price equal to 95%
of "fair market value," determined by the average of three independent
appraisals.

- 2600 Elmhurst Road, Elk Grove Village, Illinois is subject to an option
exercisable on or before July 31, 2000 to purchase the premises during
January of 2001 for a purchase price of $5,265,000.

- 21399 Torrence Avenue, Sauk Village, Illinois is subject to an option
exercisable on or between December 31, 2000 and May 31, 2002 to purchase
the property on November 30, 2002 for $9,314,500.

In each case, the option price exceeds the Company's current net book value
for each such property. The Company believes that even if all of the purchase
options are exercised, such exercise will not have an adverse effect upon the
operations of the Company or its ability to maintain its distribution policy. In
addition, if any purchase option is exercised, the Company intends to either
distribute the cash proceeds to stockholders or reinvest the cash proceeds in
additional properties. However, no assurance can be given that such distribution
or reinvestment will occur.

In addition to purchase options, the Company has granted to tenants of
certain properties a right of first refusal (in the event the Company has
received an unsolicited offer from a third party to purchase the property which
the Company desires to accept) or a right of first offer (in the event the
Company has not received an unsolicited third party offer for the property but
desires to entertain an offer). These properties include: One Wildlife Way, Long
Grove, Illinois, 8901 102nd Street, Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, 825 Tollgate
Road, Elgin, Illinois, 7400 Narragansett Avenue, Bedford Park, Illinois, and
7633 S. Sayre, Bedford Park, Illinois. The existence of those rights will not
compel the Company to sell a property for a price less than the price the
Company desires to accept.

THE COMPANY'S OTHER PROPERTIES AND INVESTMENTS

In addition to its warehouse/industrial properties, the Company owns, at the
REIT level, three retail properties having approximately 61,183 square feet of
GLA, two office buildings having approximately 94,000 square feet of GLA in
which the offices of the management company use approximately 48,000 square feet
of one of the properties and the remaining portion is leased, one 682-unit
apartment complex located at 440 North Lake Street, Miller, Indiana and known as
Lakeshore Dunes Apartments, and two fully leased parking lots. The Company does
not intend to acquire properties other than warehouse/industrial properties in
the future. The Company believes, however, that these properties are favorable
investments for the Company, adding to distributable cash flow per share. The
Company also has investments in two uncompleted build-to-suit properties, one of
which is a 59,250 square foot two story office expansion on an existing office
property and the other is the initial phase of the approximately 2,000 acre
development at the former Joliet Arsenal. The Company also owns two stand alone
land parcels totaling 20.53 acres.

The tenants of the Company's retail properties are typical of tenants in
smaller retail centers in Greater Chicago. Generally, the leases require tenants
to pay a fixed base, or "minimum" rent, subject to scheduled increases. Tenants
generally are required to pay their proportionate share of common area
maintenance charges, insurance expenses, operating expenses and real estate
taxes or their portion of these expenses is included in their base rent.

The following table shows as of December 31, 2000 scheduled lease
expirations for the retail properties commencing January 1, 2001, through lease
expiration, assuming no tenants exercise renewal options.

these office properties through the relationship that was already established
with these tenants.

The following table shows as of December 31, 2000 scheduled lease
expirations for the office properties commencing January 1, 2001, through lease
expiration, assuming no tenants exercise renewal options. This table excludes
the offices of the management company.

(1) Operating expenses include real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance,

(2) Other income (expense) includes gains and losses on property dispositions in
1997 and 1996, and other miscellaneous operating and non-operating items.

(3) The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines
funds from operations ("FFO") as net income before extraordinary items plus
depreciation and non-financing amortization, less gains (losses) on the sale
of real estate. CenterPoint calculates FFO as net income to common
shareholders, plus real estate depreciation and non-financing amortization,
inclusive of results from merchant activitites of the Company and its
unconsolidated joint ventures, which includes fee income, and cash gains and
losses on disposition of stabilized Company assets (measured as the sale
price, net of selling costs, less book value after adding back accumulated
depreciation). The Company believes that FFO inclusive of cash gains better
reflects recurring funds because the disposition of stabilized properties,
and the recycling of capital and profits to new "value added" investments,
is fundamental to the Company's business strategy.

Management of the Company believes that Funds from Operations is helpful to
investors as a measure of the performance of equity REIT shares because,
along with cash flows from operating activities, financing activities and
investing activities, it provides investors an understanding of the ability
of the Company to incur and service debt and to make capital expenditures.
Funds from Operations does not represent cash flow from operations as
defined by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), should not be
considered by the reader as an alternative to net income as an indicator of
the Company's operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of
liquidity, and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow
needs. Investors are cautioned that Funds from Operations, as calculated by
the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled but differently
calculated measurers for other REITs.

(4) Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.
Management believes that EBITDA is helpful to investors as an indication of
property operations, because it excludes costs of financing and non-cash
depreciation and amortization amounts. EBITDA does not represent cash flows
from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered by the reader
as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating
performance, and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow
needs. Investors are cautioned that EBITDA, as calculated by the Company,
may not be comparable to similarly titled but differently calculated
measurers for other REITs.

(5) The increase in number of properties in 1996 reflects the acquisition of 15
properties and the disposition of eight properties throughout 1996. The
increase in number of properties in 1997 reflects the acquisition of 21
properties, the completion of seven developments, and the disposition of
three properties throughout 1997. The increase in number of properties in
1998 reflects the acquisition of 30 properties, the completion of two
developments, and the disposition of six properties throughout 1998. The
increase in number of properties in 1999 reflects the acquisition of 61
properties, the completion of three developments, and the disposition of
nine properties throughout 1999. The increase in number of properties in
2000 reflects the acquisition of 20 properties, the completion of two
developments, and the disposition of 37 properties throughout 2000 on the
REIT.

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

The following is a discussion of the historical operating results of the
Company. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial
Statements and the information set forth under "SELECTED HISTORICAL FINANCIAL
DATA."

CENTERPOINT VALUE ADDED STRATEGY

The Company's focus on value added investment and capital recycling has
contributed to the Company's results of operations. This activity includes
investment in acquisitions, build-to-suit and redevelopment activities. Since
1989, the Company has grown its portfolio of warehouse/industrial properties
from six properties, with approximately 1.9 million square feet, to 170
properties with approximately 27.8 million square feet as of December 31, 2000,
including investments within the Company's subsidiaries.

In 2000, the Company's capital recycling strategy provided $149.8 million of
funds for value added acquisitions, investments in construction in progress and
investments in properties at the affiliate level. The Company sold 37 owned
properties and acquired and completed the construction of 22 properties. The
Company's total net increase in owned warehouse/industrial properties, was
1.2 million square feet or 4.8%.

The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 reflect partial period results for
acquisitions, dispositions and expansions made during each respective year.
These statements also include the lease-up of previously vacant space, related
to the properties owned by the Company as of January 1, 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Certain executive officers of the Company had an interest in
entities which were purchased by the Company (one property in 1998). These
transactions satisfied the Company's investment criteria and were approved by
the Company's independent trustees.

Finally, the historical results of the Company reflect the Company's
significant property development and redevelopment activities in which
substantial capital costs and related expenses were incurred in advance of
receipt of rental income. At December 31, 2000, the Company and its subsidiaries
had 0.5 million square feet of developments under construction with an estimated
total cost of $16.9 million that were 100% pre-leased. In addition, the Company
and its subsidiaries owned approximately 2,000 acres of land, as of
December 31, 2000, for the future development of an approximately 617 acre
intermodal railyard and as much as 17.0 million square feet of warehouse/
industrial facilities. $81.9 million of these developments were funded by the
Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and were not producing
income.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999

Revenues

Total revenues increased by $19.5 million or 14.1% over the same period last
year.

In the twelve months of 2000, 96.0% of total revenues of the Company were
derived primarily from base rents, straight-line rents, expense reimbursements
and mortgage income (operating and investment revenue), pursuant to the terms of
tenant leases and mortgages for occupied space at the warehouse/industrial
properties. Operating and investment revenues increased by $29.2 million in
2000. A portion of the increase was due to income from 22 acquired operating
properties and completed developments in 2000, totaling 4.0 million square feet,
net of 37 dispositions as of the end of the year. The remainder of the increase
was attributable to a full period of income from the 1999

acquisition of 61 properties and three build-to-suit properties coming on line,
totaling 5.1 million square feet, net of nine property dispositions.

Other revenues decreased $9.6 million mainly due to the structuring of
2000's merchant transactions as gains on the sale of properties rather than real
estate fee income in tune with our capital recycling strategy. Gains are
included as a separate item in the Statement of Operations.

Operating and Nonoperating Expenses

Real estate tax expense and property operating and leasing expense increased
by $11.0 million from year to year. $6.1 million of the increase resulted from a
full period of real estate taxes on 1999 acquisitions and a partial period of
real estate taxes on 2000 acquisitions, net of dispositions. The balance of the
increase was due to increased leasing expenses, insurance, utilities, repairs
and maintenance and property management costs, which increased proportionate to
the level of acquisitions and development activities of the Company. Property
operating and leasing costs, as a percentage of total revenues, increased from
11.1% to 12.8% when comparing 1999 to 2000 due in part to current and future
growth of the Company's operating team and operating activity on 2000 and 1999
acquisitions and developments.

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.6 million, only a slight
increase, due primarily to the growth of the Company. As a percentage of total
revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased slightly from 3.1% to
3.0% when comparing years.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $5.6 million due to a full period
of depreciation on 1999 acquisitions and a partial period of depreciation on
2000 acquisitions.

Interest incurred increased by approximately $11.0 million over the same
period last year due to increased average balances outstanding and higher
interest rates for variable rate debt in 2000 compared to 1999.

Gains on the sale of real estate increased in 2000 due to the sale of 37
properties, compared to only nine properties in 1999. As mentioned above, more
of the Company's merchant activities were structured as straight property sales
in 2000.

Net Income and Other Measures of Operations

Net income increased $4.1 million or 10.2% due to the growth of the Company
through the net acquisition of warehouse/industrial real estate and merchant
income.

Funds from operations ("FFO") increased 7.4% from $69.0 million to
$74.1 million. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
("NAREIT") defines funds from operations as net income before extraordinary
items plus depreciation and non-financing amortization, less gains (losses) on
the sale of real estate. CenterPoint calculates FFO as net income to common
shareholders, plus real estate depreciation and non-financing amortization,
inclusive of results from merchant activitites of the Company and its
unconsolidated joint ventures, which includes fee income, and cash gains and
losses on disposition of stabilized Company assets (measured as the sale price,
net of selling costs, less book value after adding back accumulated
depreciation). The Company believes that FFO inclusive of cash gains better
reflects recurring funds because the disposition of stabilized properties, and
the recycling of capital and profits to new "value added" investments, is
fundamental to the Company's business strategy. FFO exclusive of gains and
losses from disposition activities decreased 4.8% from $66.3 million to
$63.1 million when comparing periods. FFO does not represent cash flow from
operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"),
should not be considered by the reader as an alternative to net income as an
indicator of the Company's operating performance or to cash flows as a measure
of liquidity, and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow
needs.

On a cash basis, when comparing the 1999 results of operations of properties
owned January 1, 1999 with the results of operations of the same properties for
2000 (the "same store" portfolio), the Company recognized an increase of
approximately 6.2% in net operating income. This same store increase was due to
the timely lease up of vacant space, rental increases on renewed leases and
contractual increases in minimum rent under leases in place.

The Company assesses its operating results, in part, by comparing the Net
Revenue Margin between periods. Net Revenue Margin is calculated for the "in
service" portfolio by dividing net revenue (total operating and investment
revenue less real estate taxes and property operating and leasing expense) by
adjusted operating and investment revenue (operating and investment revenue less
expense reimbursements, adjusted for leases containing expense stops). This
margin indicates the percentage of revenue actually retained by the Company or,
alternatively, the amount of property related expenses not recovered by tenant
reimbursements. The margin for 2000 was 87.6% compared with 88.2% for 1999.

COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998

Revenues

Total revenues increased by $31.7 million or 29.6% over the same period last
year.

In the twelve months of 1999, 88.5% of total revenues of the Company were
derived primarily from base rents, straight-line rents, expense reimbursements
and mortgage income (operating and investment revenue), pursuant to the terms of
tenant leases and mortgages for occupied space at the warehouse/industrial
properties.

Operating and investment revenues increased by $18.5 million in 1999. A
portion of the increase from the prior year is due to income from 61 properties
acquired in 1999 and three build-to-suit properties coming on line totaling
5.1 million square feet, net of nine dispositions as of the end of the year. The
remainder of the increase was attributable to a full period of income from the
1998 acquisition of 30 properties and two build-to-suit properties coming on
line, totaling 4.0 million square feet, net of six property dispositions.

Other revenues increased $13.2 million due to increased fees earned and
profits realized by the Company and the Company's unconsolidated affiliate in
connection with increased volume and simultaneous closings of build-to-suit,
development, and leasing activities.

Operating and Nonoperating Expenses

Real estate tax expense and property operating and leasing expense increased
by $5.5 million from year to year. $3.5 million of the increase, resulted from a
full period of real estate taxes on 1998 acquisitions and a partial period of
real estate taxes on 1999 acquisitions, net of dispositions. The balance of the
increase was due to increased leasing expenses, insurance, utilities, repairs
and maintenance and property management costs, which increased proportionate to
the level of acquisitions. However, property operating and leasing costs as a
percentage of total revenues decreased from 12.6% to 11.1% when comparing 1998
to 1999 due to efficiencies realized by the Company, increased real estate fee
income and equity in the affiliate.

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.2 million for the period
due primarily to the growth of the Company. As a percentage of total revenues,
general and administrative expenses decreased slightly from 3.8% to 3.1% when
comparing years.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $5.9 million due to a full period
of depreciation on 1998 acquisitions and depreciation on 1999 acquisitions.

Interest incurred increased by approximately $6.4 million over the same
period last year due to the Company holding higher average balances outstanding
and higher interest rates for variable rate debt in 1999 compared to 1998.

Other income (expenses) increased due to gains earned upon the disposition
of nine properties in 1999. In 1998, the Company disposed of six properties with
lower gains earned.

Net Income and Other Measures of Operations

Net income increased $16.5 million or 51.2% due to the growth of the Company
through the net acquisition of warehouse/industrial real estate and merchant
income.

FFO (including gains and losses resulting from disposition activities)
increased 47.4% from $46.8 million to $69.0 million. FFO exclusive of gain and
losses from disposition activity increased 42.6% from $46.5 million to
$66.3 million when comparing periods.

On a cash basis, when comparing the 1998 results of operations of properties
owned January 1, 1998 with the results of operations of the same properties for
1999 (the "same store" portfolio), the Company recognized an increase of
approximately 7.1% in net operating income. This same store increase was due to
the timely lease up of vacant space, rental increases on renewed leases and
contractual increases in minimum rent under leases in place.

The net revenue margin for 1999 was 88.2% compared with 88.5% for 1998. The
margin was in line with the Company's expectations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating and Investment Cash Flow

Cash flow generated from Company operations has historically been utilized
for working capital purposes and distributions, while proceeds from stabilized
asset dispositions, supplemented by unsecured financings and periodic capital
raises, have been used to fund, on a long term basis, acquisitions and other
capital costs. Cash flow from operations during 2000 was $71.5 million,
providing $19.7 million of retained capital after distributions of
$51.8 million. The Company expects retained capital to continue to fund a
portion of future investment activities.

In 2000, the Company's investment activities included acquisitions of
$130.7 million, advances for construction in progress of $70.7 million, and
improvements and additions to properties of $43.3 million. These activities were
funded with dispositions of real estate of $111.0 million, the issuance of
common shares of $64.3 million, advances on the Company's lines of credit and a
portion of the Company's retained capital.

Equity and Share Activity

During 2000, the Company paid distributions on common shares of
$41.7 million or $2.01 per share. Also, in 2000, the Company paid dividends on
Series A Preferred Shares of $6.4 million or $2.12 per share and $3.7 million
for dividends on Series B Convertible Preferred Shares or $3.75 per share. The
following factors, among others, will affect the future availability of funds
for distribution: (i) scheduled increases in base rents under existing leases,
(ii) changes in minimum base rents attributable to replacement of existing
leases with new or replacement leases and (iii) restrictions under certain
covenants of the Company's unsecured line of credit.

Debt Capacity

In September, 2000, the Company expanded its unsecured revolving line of
credit facility from $250 million to $350 million and extended its term to
October, 2003 with an interest rate of LIBOR + 100 basis points. The unsecured
facility is led by Bank One, Lead Arranger and Administrative Agent. Other banks
participating in the facility are Bank of America, N.A., Syndication Agent;
First Union National Bank, Documentation Agent; U.S. Bank National Association,

The Northern Trust Company; Comerica Bank; and Key Bank.

On January 12, 2000 the Company issued $150 million 7.9% senior unsecured
notes due January 15, 2003. The notes were underwritten by Lehman Brothers
Holdings, with A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC, Bank
One Capital Markets, Inc., and First Union Securities acting as co-managers. The
net proceeds of issuance of approximately $149.1 million were used to pay down
the Company's revolving line of credit.

As of March 12, 2001, the Company had outstanding borrowings of
approximately $95.0 million under the Company's unsecured line of credit
(approximately 5.5% of the Company's fully diluted total market capitalization),
and the Company had remaining availability of approximately $255.0 million under
its unsecured line of credit.

At December 31, 2000, the Company's debt constituted approximately 31.8% of
its fully diluted total market capitalization. Also, the Company's earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, ("EBITDA") to debt
service coverage ratio decreased from the prior year, but remained high at 3.9
to 1, and the Company's EBITDA to fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.9 to 1 due
to preferred dividends. The Company's fully diluted common equity market
capitalization was approximately $1.1 billion, and its fully diluted total
market capitalization was approximately $1.7 billion.

Standard and Poors, Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. and Moody's Investors
Service's have assigned investment grade ratings to the Company's senior
unsecured debt and preferred stock. As of November 13, 2000, Standard and Poors
reaffirmed the Company's investment grade rating.

The Company has considered its short-term (one year or less) capital needs,
in conjunction with its estimated future cash flow from operations and other
expected sources. The Company believes that its ability to fund operating
expenses, building improvements, debt service requirements and the minimum
distribution required to maintain the Company's REIT qualification under the
Internal Revenue Code, will be met by recurring operating and investment revenue
and other real estate income.

Long-term (greater than one year) capital needs for property acquisitions,
scheduled debt maturities, major redevelopment projects, expansions, and
construction of build-to-suit properties will be supported, initially, by draws
on the Company's unsecured line of credit, followed by the issuance of long-term
unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of equity securities. Management expects
that a significant portion of the Company's investment funds will be supplied by
the proceeds of dispositions of stabilized assets, which is dependent on market
conditions which presently remain favorable.

The Company is pursuing several strategies to boost equity capital. These
include the monetization of the BNSF Ground Lease at the Arsenal and the sale of
senior participation in the developer's notes issued to CenterPoint with respect
to the development. The Company alsohas established the CenterPoint Venture,
allowing the Company to funnel deals that don't meet CenterPoint's investment
criteria through that entity, utilizing its $120 million line of credit and
taking advantage of additional avenues for recycling capital.

INFLATION

Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company because of the
relatively low inflation rates in the Company's markets of operation. Most of
the Company's leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating
expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance,
thereby reducing the Company's exposure to increases in costs and operating
expenses resulting from inflation. In addition, many of the leases are for
remaining terms less than five years which may enable the Company to replace
existing leases with new leases at higher base rental rates if rents of existing
leases are below the then-existing market rate.

RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June, 1998, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement, effective for
financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, provides a
comprehensive and consistent standard for the recognition and measurement of
derivatives and hedging activities. The Company has no derivative positions as
of December 31, 2000.

In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB
101"), Revenue Recognition, which outlines basic criteria that must be met to
recognize revenue and provides guidance for presentation of revenue and for
disclosure related to revenue recognition policies in financial statements filed
with the SEC. The Company adopted SAB 101 in the fourth quarter of 2000 with no
impact on the Company.

In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44, or FIN 44, "Accounting
for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation," which is an
interpretation of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25. This
interpretation clarifies:

- the definition of employee for purposes of applying Opinion 25, which
deals with stock compensation issues;

- the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory
plan;

- the accounting consequence of various modifications to the terms of a
previously fixed stock option or award; and

- the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business
combination.

- this interpretation is effective July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions in
this interpretation cover specific events that occur after either
December 15, 1998, or January 12, 2000. To the extent that this
interpretation covers events occurring during the period after
December 15, 1998, or January 12, 2000, but before the effective date of
July 1, 2000, the effects of applying this interpretation are recognized
on a prospective basis from July 1, 2000. The adoption of FIN 44 had no
impact on the Company.

The Tax Relief Extension Act of 1999, or the REIT Modernization Act, will
take effect on January 1, 2001, modifies certain provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with respect to the taxation of REITs. Two key
provisions of this tax law change will impact future Company operations: the
availability of a taxable REIT subsidiary which may be wholly-owned directly by
a REIT and a reduction in the required level of distribution by a REIT to 90% of
ordinary taxable income. The Company acquired 100% of the common stock of CRS
and canceled its preferred stock on January 1, 2001.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company's
actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward
looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited
to, uncertainties affecting real estate businesses generally (such as entry into
new leases, renewals of leases and dependence on tenants' business operations),
risks relating to acquisition, construction and development activities, possible
environmental liabilities, risks relating to leverage, debt service and
obligations with respect to the payment of dividends (including availability of
financing terms acceptable to the Company and sensitivity of the Company's
operations to fluctuations in interest rates), the potential for the need to use
borrowings to make distributions necessary for the Company to qualify as a REIT,
dependence on the primary market in which the Company's properties are located,
the existence of complex regulations relating to the Company's status as a REIT,
environmental risks, the Company's lack of control of the voting stock in the
Company's unconsolidated subsidiary is required for us to derive income from it
without jeopardizing the Company's REIT status and the potential adverse impact
of the market interest rates on the cost of borrowings by the Company and on the
market price for the Company's securities. See also, Item 3 of Part I of this
report.

ITEM 7A. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company assesses its risk in relation to market conditions, and a
discussion about the Company's exposure to possible changes in market conditions
follows. This discussion involves the effect on earnings, cash flows and the
value of the Company's financial instruments as a result of possible future
market condition changes. The discussions below include "forward looking
statements" regarding market risk, but management is not forecasting the
occurrence of these market changes. The actual earnings and cash flows of the
Company may differ materially from these projections discussed below. At
December 31, 2000, $116.3 million or 21.2% of the Company's debt was variable
rate debt (inclusive of tax exempt debt at a rate of 5.1% as of December 31,
2000) and $431.4 million or 78.8% of the debt was fixed rate debt. Based on the
amount of variable debt outstanding as of December 31, 2000, a 10% increase or
decrease in the Company's interest rate on the Company's variable rate debt
would decrease or increase, respectively, future earnings and cash flows by
approximately $0.8 million per year. A similar change in interest rates on the
Company's fixed rate debt would not increase or decrease the future earnings of
the Company during the term of the debt, but would effect the fair value of the
debt. An increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of the
Company's fixed rate debt. The Company is subject to other non-quantifiable
market risks due to the nature of its business. The business of owning and
investing in real estate is highly competitive. Several factors may adversely
affect the economic performance and value or our properties and the Company.
These factors include:

- Adverse changes in general or local economic conditions affecting real
estate values, rental rates, interest rates, real estate tax rates and
other operating expenses.

- Competitive overbuilding.

- Inability to keep high levels of occupancy.

- Tenant defaults.

- Unfavorable changes in governmental rules and fiscal policies (including
rent control legislation).

- Ability to sell properties.

- Acts of God and other factors that are beyond the Company control.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Trustees and
Shareholders of CenterPoint Properties Trust

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of operations, of shareholders' equity and of cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CenterPoint
Properties Trust and its subsidiaries (the "Company") at December 31, 2000 and
1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

1. ORGANIZATION

CenterPoint Properties Trust (the "Company"), a Maryland trust, and its
wholly owned subsidiaries, owns and operates primarily warehouse/industrial
properties in the metropolitan Chicago area and operates as a real estate
investment trust.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the
respective leases. Unbilled rents receivable represents the amount that
straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents due under the lease agreements.
Unbilled rents receivable, included in tenants accounts receivable, at
December 31, 2000 and 1999 were $19,406 and $12,765, respectively. Recoveries
from tenants for taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses are
recognized in the period the applicable costs are incurred.

Real estate fee income includes revenues recognized for consulting services
provided by the Company, participation interest, merchant related transactions
and tenant lease termination fees of $0 in 2000, $2,584 in 1999, and $1,770 in
1998.

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts against the portion
of accounts receivable and notes receivable which is estimated to be
uncollectible. Accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other assets in the
consolidated balance sheets are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts
of $505 and $731 as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

DEFERRED EXPENSES

Deferred expenses consist principally of financing fees and leasing
commissions. Leasing commissions are amortized on a straight-line basis over the
terms of the respective lease agreements. Financing costs are amortized over the
terms of the respective loan agreements. Deferred expenses relating to debenture
conversions of $136 were charged to paid-in capital in 1999, and fully amortized
deferred expenses of $619 and $2,436 were written off in 2000 and 1999,
respectively. In connection with property dispositions, the Company also wrote
off deferred leasing and other costs of $1,768 and $350 in 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

The balances are as follows:

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
PROPERTIES

Real estate assets are stated at cost. Interest and real estate taxes and
other directly related costs incurred during construction periods are
capitalized and amortized on the same basis as the related assets. Depreciation
expense is computed using the straight-line method based upon the following
estimated useful lives:

YEARS
-----------

Building and improvements................................... 31.5 and 40
Land improvements........................................... 15
Furniture, fixtures and equipment........................... 4 to 15

Construction allowances for tenant improvements are capitalized and
amortized over the terms of each specific lease. Repairs and maintenance are
charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for improvements are capitalized.
When assets are sold or retired, their cost and related accumulated depreciation
are removed from the accounts. The resulting gains or losses from dispositions
of properties are reflected in operations.

The Company reviews the carrying value of its investments in real estate for
impairment in accordance with the Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of", whenever events or changes in circumstances have
indicated that the carrying amount of assets might not be recoverable. If
management determines that an impairment of property has occurred, the carrying
value of such property will be reduced to its fair value.

CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS

Construction in progress consists of properties currently under development.
Land acquisition costs and direct and indirect construction costs are classified
as construction in progress until the property or building is completed. Upon
completion, the project is placed in service, depreciated accordingly and
reclassified into land and building.

REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE

The Company classifies properties under contract for sale as of the end of
the quarter as real estate held for sale. The assets are stated at cost net of
accumulated depreciation, and depreciation expense ceases until the consummation
of the sale or the contract lapses.

At December 31, 2000, the Company had approximately 0.5 million square feet
of residential properties held for sale. Net income (property revenues less real
estate taxes, property operating and leasing expenses, and depreciation and
amortization) related to the properties held for sale as of December 31, 2000
was approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2000 and 1999 respectively. There can be no assurance that such
properties held for sale will be sold.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the consolidated financial statements, the Company considers
all investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.

RESTRICTED CASH

Restricted cash represents escrow and reserve funds for real estate taxes,
capital improvements, and certain security deposits. This account is valued at
cost, which approximates market.

INVESTMENT IN AND ADVANCES TO AFFILIATE

The Company accounts for its investment in affiliate using the equity method
whereby its cost of the investment is adjusted for its share of equity in net
income or loss from the date of acquisition and reduced by distributions
received.

ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures 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.

INCOME TAXES

The Company qualifies as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under
sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code beginning January 1, 1994. In
order to qualify as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 95%
of its taxable income to shareholders and to meet certain asset and income tests
as well as certain other requirements. As a REIT, the Company will generally not
be liable for Federal income taxes, provided it satisfies the necessary
distribution requirements. The distributions declared and paid for the years
ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 include a return of capital of
approximately 2%, 21% and 9%, respectively.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Following are the reconciliations of the numerators and denominators for
computing basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") data:

---------- ---------- ----------
Weighted average common shares outstanding--for
diluted EPS........................................ 21,379,234 20,859,873 20,101,937
========== ========== ==========

The assumed conversion of convertible preferred stock into common shares for
purposes of computing diluted EPS by adding convertible preferred dividends to
the numerator and adding assumed share conversions to the denominator for 2000
and 1999 would be anti-dilutive. Also, the assumed conversion of the convertible
subordinated debentures into common shares for purposes of computing diluted EPS
by adding interest expense for the debentures to the numerators and adding
assumed share conversions to the denominators for 1998 would be anti-dilutive.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's financial instruments include cash equivalents, tenant
accounts receivable, mortgage and other notes receivable, accounts payable,
other accrued expenses, notes payable, and mortgage loans payable. The fair
value of these instruments was not materially different from their carrying or
contract values.

3. PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

During each of the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the Company
acquired 22, 64 and 30 properties, respectively, consisting principally of
single-tenant buildings for an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$134,933, $153,903 and $92,510, respectively. In 1999, 10 and 31 of the
properties were acquired in two separate portfolios, from unrelated third
parties. 15 of the properties in 1998 were acquired as a portfolio from an
unrelated third party. All of the remaining property acquisitions were purchased
individually and include one acquisition in 1998 which was acquired from related
parties. The properties were funded with borrowings under the Company's lines of
credit, proceeds from properties sold during 2000, 1999, and 1998, proceeds of
public offerings of the Company's common shares completed in 2000 and 1998, and
proceeds of public offerings of the Company's preferred shares completed in
1999. The acquisitions have been accounted for utilizing the purchase method of
accounting, and accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired
properties are included in the consolidated statements of operations from the
dates of acquisition.

The Company disposed of 37 properties in 2000, nine properties during 1999
and six properties during 1998 for aggregate proceeds of approximately $110,972,
$52,196 and $33,948, respectively. In 2000, 19 of the properties were disposed
of as a single portfolio.

Due to the effect of securities offerings in November 2000, June 1999,
March 1998 and April 1998 and the 1998, 1999 and 2000 acquisitions and
dispositions of properties, the historical results are not indicative of the
future results of operations. The following unaudited pro forma information for
the twelve months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 is presented as if the 1999
and 2000 acquisitions and dispositions, the 1999 and 2000 securities offerings,
and the corresponding repayment of certain debt had all occurred on January 1,
1999 (or the date the property first commenced operations with a third party
tenant, if later). The 1998 unaudited proforma information is presented as if
the 1999 and 1998 offerings, the corresponding repayment of certain debt, and
the 1999 and 1998 acquisitions and dispositions had all occurred on January 1,
1998. The pro forma information is based upon historical information and does
not purport to present what actual results would have been had the offerings

Participation interest excludes a $2,708 charge to CRS related to the sale
of a property from CRS to the Company because that same charge was eliminated on

from CRS of $60,534 and $108,584, respectively, under a series of demand loans
with interest rates ranging from 8.125% to 10.125%. The proceeds of the loans
were required for development projects and acquisitions.

CRS owns 25% of CenterPoint Joint Venture, L.L.C. (the "Venture") which is
engaged to position, package and sell stabilized industrial property investment
opportunities. The California Public Employees Retirement System and Jones Lang
LaSalle owns the remaining 75% of the Venture. The Company provides property
management services for the Venture, and also earns fees associated with the
administration of the Venture and acquisitions and dispositions completed by the
Venture. During the year, the Company earned $643 for acquisition fees, $27 for
administrative services and $100 for property management fees. At December 31,
2000, the Company had $430 receivable for these fees.

initial interest at a Weekly Adjustable Interest Rate, which from time to
time may be changed by the Company, at a rate determined by the Remarketing
Agent (5.1% and 5.5% at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively). In
August, 2000, the Company paid down $10,900 of the outstanding bonds from
available original proceeds reflecting the reduced scope of the construction
project. The bonds require monthly payments of interest only and mature in
September, 2032. Of the original proceeds, the Company holds $3,098 and
$16,852 in escrow at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, for future
construction costs.

(h) In September, 2000, the Company increased its unsecured line of credit
facility, which originated in October, 1996, to $350,000. The interest rate
at December 31, 2000 ranges from 7.6875% to 7.8125% (LIBOR plus 1.0%) for
LIBOR borrowings and Prime Rate (9.5%) for other borrowings. The interest
rate at December 31, 1999 is 7.5% (LIBOR plus 1.0%) for LIBOR borrowings and
Prime Rate (8.5%) for other borrowings. The line requires payments of
interest only when LIBOR contracts mature and monthly on borrowings under
Prime Rate. There is a commitment fee of $700 per year. At December 31, 2000
and 1999, the Company had $277,800 and $28,300, respectively, available
under the line.

Land, buildings and equipment related to such mortgages with an aggregate
net book value of approximately $131,931 at December 31, 2000 and $123,960 at
December 31, 1999 have been pledged as collateral for the above debt.

8. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

COMMON SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

In November, 2000, the Company completed a public offering of 1,500,000
common shares at $43.25 per share for net proceeds of $64.3 million. The
proceeds from this offering were used to pay down the Company's revolving line
of credit. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company had outstanding shares
of 22,283,930 and 20,649,801, respectively.

CLASS B COMMON SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

On September 22, 1995, the Company completed a $50 million private equity
placement of 2,272,727 non-voting preferred shares of beneficial interest at a
price of $22 per share. In May, 1996, the preferred shares of beneficial
interest automatically converted, on a share for share basis, to non-voting
Class B Common Shares, upon shareholder approval of an amendment to the
Company's charter permitting non-voting Class B Common Shares at the Company's
annual meeting. Distributions on the non-voting shares were equal to the
distribution paid on the voting shares of the Company plus an additional $.0468
per share. In October, 1998, 874,639 non-voting Class B Shares converted to
voting shares. In January, 1999, February, 1999, and August, 1999, 536,981,
784,305 and 76,802, respectively, of non-voting Class B Shares converted to
voting shares. There were no Class B Shares outstanding after the August, 1999
conversion. After conversion to voting common, the distribution paid was the
same as all other voting common shares.

SERIES A CUMULATIVE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

On November 10, 1997, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of 8.48% Series A
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest ("Series A
Preferred Shares") at a purchase price of $25 per share. Dividends on the
Preferred Shares are cumulative from the date of issuance and payable quarterly
commencing on January 30, 1998. The payment of dividends and amounts upon
liquidation will rank senior to the Common Shares and Series B Convertible
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, which are the only other shares of the
Company outstanding. The Preferred Shares are not redeemable prior to
October 30, 2002. On or after October 30, 2002 the Preferred Shares will be
redeemable for cash at the option of the Company, in whole or part, at the
redemption price of $25 per share, plus dividends accrued and unpaid to the
redemption date. The Preferred Shares are not convertible into or exchangeable
for any other property or securities of the Company.

SERIES B CONVERTIBLE CUMULATIVE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SHARES OF BENEFICIAL
INTEREST

On June 23, 1999, the Company completed a public offering of 1,000,000
shares of 7.50% Series B Convertible Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares
("Series B Preferred Shares") at a purchase price of $50.00 per share. Dividends
on the Series B Preferred Shares are cumulative from the date of issuance and
payable quarterly commencing on September 30, 1999. The payment of dividends and
amounts upon liquidation will follow the Series A Preferred Shares, but rank
senior to the Common Shares. The shares have no maturity date, but may be
redeemed by the Company for $50.00 per share after June 30, 2004. The shares are
convertible into common shares at a conversion price of $43.50 per common share,
equivalent to a conversion rate of 1.1494 to 1. In 2000, 5,288 shares were
converted into common shares upon the death of several preferred shareholders in
accordance with the share agreement.

9. STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS

As of December 31, 2000 the Company has reserved 1,000,000 common shares for
future issuance under the 2000 Omnibus Employee Retention and Incentive Plan,
59,711 common shares for future issuance under the 1995 Director Stock Plan and
1,000,000 common shares for future issuance under the dividend reinvestment and
stock purchase plan.

2000 OMNIBUS EMPLOYEE RETENTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN

On May 10, 2000, the Shareholders adopted the 2000 Omnibus Employee
Retention and Incentive Plan (the "2000 Plan") to allow the Company to continue
making share-based awards as part of the Company's compensation. In accordance
with the approved 2000 Plan, no other grants will be made under the 1993 Stock
Option plan or the 1995 Restricted Stock Incentive Plan. The number of shares
issuable under the 2000 Plan was initially 1,200,000 in the form of options and
appreciation rights, performance awards, and restricted shares or share
equivalents. 200,000 options were granted in July, 2000. The plan will be
administered by a committee (the "Committee") consisting of two or more
non-employee trustees designated by the Board of Trustees of the Company. No
awards may be granted under the 2000 Plan after July 31, 2003.

The 2000 Plan authorizes the Committee to grant options to purchase the
Company's common shares in the form of incentive stock options ("ISO's") or
other tax-qualified options which may be subsequently authorized under the
federal tax laws. The exercise price of the options may not be less than 100% of
the fair market value of common shares at the time of issuance. Also, the 2000
Plan authorizes the Committee to grant appreciation rights to key employees,
which entitles the grantee to receive upon exercise the excess of (a) the fair
market value of the specified number of shares at the time of exercise over
(b) a price specified by the Committee which may not be less than 100% of the
fair market value of the common shares at the time of grant. The term of the
option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no option shall be exercisable more
than 10 years after the date of grant.

In addition, the 2000 Plan authorizes the Committee to grant restricted
shares of the Company's common shares. The restriction periods may vary at
Committee's discretion, but may not be less than one year.

Finally, the 2000 Plan authorizes the Committee to grant performance awards
to employees in the form of either grants of performance shares, representing
one share of the Company's common shares, or performance units, representing an
amount established by the Committee at the time of the award. At the time the
award is made, the Committee will establish superior and satisfactory
performance targets measuring the Company's performance over a set period. The
actual awards will be determined by the Committee measured against these goals.

RESTRICTED STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

Under the terms of the 1995 Restricted Stock Incentive Plan, adopted in
1995, the Company initially reserved 150,000 common shares for future grants. On
March 8, 2000, certain employees were granted 76,609 restricted common shares.
Shares were awarded in the name of each of the participants, who have all the
rights of other common shareholders, subject to certain restrictions and
forfeiture provisions. Restrictions on the shares expire no more than eight
years after the date of award, or earlier if certain performance targets are
met. The Shareholders adopted the 2000 Plan

(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR PER SHARE DATA)

9. STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS (CONTINUED)
effective May 10, 2000, which succeeds the 1995 Restricted Stock Incentive Plan.
No further grants will be made from this plan.

Unearned compensation is recorded at the date of awards based on the market
value of shares. Unearned compensation, which is shown as a separate component
of shareholders' equity, is being amortized to expense over the eight year
vesting period. The amount amortized to expense during 2000, 1999, and 1998 was
$515, $49 and $201, respectively.

DIRECTOR STOCK PLAN

The 1995 Director Stock Plan is for an aggregate of 75,000 common shares and
provides that each independent director, upon election or re-election to the
Board, must receive 50% and may elect to receive 100% of his annual retainer fee
in Common Shares at the market price on such date. In 2000, 1999, and 1998,
2,640, 3,058 and 2,304 Common Shares were issued under this plan, respectively.
In connection with the issuance of such shares, $100, $110 and $80 was charged
to expense in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

In July, 1998, the Board of Trustees approved a shareholder protection plan
(the "plan"), declaring a dividend of one right for each share of the Company's
common shares outstanding on or after August 11, 1998. Exercisable 10 days after
any person or group acquires 15 percent or more or commences a tender offer for
15 percent or more of the Company's common shares, each right entitles the
holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a Junior Preferred
Share of Beneficial Interest, Series A (a "Rights Preferred Share"), at a price
of $120, subject to adjustment. The Rights Preferred Shares (1) are
non-redeemable, (2) are entitled to a minimum preferential quarterly dividend
payment equal to the greater of $25 per share or 1,000 times the Company's
common share dividend, (3) have a minimum liquidation preference equal to the
greater of $100 per share or 1,000 times the liquidation payment made per common
share and (4) are entitled to vote with the common shares with each Rights
Preferred Share having 1,000 votes. 50,000 of the Company's authorized preferred
shares have been designated for the plan.

The plan was not adopted in response to any takeover attempt but was
intended to provide the Board with sufficient time to consider any and all
alternatives under such circumstances. Its provisions are designed to protect
the Company's shareholders in the event of an unsolicited attempt to acquire the
Company at a value that is not in the best interest of the Company's
shareholders.

STOCK OPTIONS OUTSTANDING

Under the terms of the 1993 Stock Option Plan, the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Trustees granted employees 215,803 options on March 8, 2000 and
independent directors 38,000 options on May 10, 2000. The 2000 Plan succeeds the
1993 Stock Option Plan. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustee
granted 200,000 options under the terms of the 2000 Plan on July 5, 2000.

The options from both the 1993 Stock Option Plan and the 2000 Plan were
granted at fair market value on the date of grant and have a 10-year term. They
become exercisable in 20% annual

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Company is involved
in legal actions relating to the ownership and operations of its properties. In
management's opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from
such legal actions are not expected to have a materially adverse effect on the
consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity of the
Company.

The Company has entered into several contracts for the acquisition of
properties. Each acquisition is subject to satisfactory completion of due
diligence and, in the case of developments, completion and occupancy of the
project.

At December 31, 2000, four of the properties owned are subject to purchase
options held by certain tenants. The purchase options are exercisable at various
intervals through 2006 for amounts that are greater than the net book value of
the assets.

13. SUBSEQUENT TRANSACTIONS

On January 24, 2001 the Lake Shore Dunes property was sold and the
$21.3 million mortgage note payable that was secured by the property was assumed
by the new owner.
