1. Background and Basis of Presentation
Background
Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") formed in 1994. We are engaged primarily in the ownership, operation, management, acquisition, conversion, retrofitting, expansion and selective development and redevelopment of properties containing a combination of office and laboratory space. We refer to these properties as "Life Science Facilities." Our Life Science Facilities are designed and improved for lease primarily to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, life science product and services entities, not-for-profit research institutions, universities, related government agencies and technology enterprises. As of June 30, 2001, our portfolio consisted of 78 properties in nine states with approximately 5.1 million rentable square feet.
We have prepared the accompanying interim financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In our opinion, the interim financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal and recurring adjustments, which are necessary to fairly present the interim financial statements. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Investments
We hold equity investments in certain publicly traded companies and privately held entities. All of our investments in publicly traded companies are considered "available for sale" under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," and have been included at fair value in other assets in the accompanying balance sheets. Fair value has been determined by the closing trading price at the balance sheet date, with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders' equity. The cost of investments sold is determined using the specific identification method, with realized gains and losses included in interest and other income.
Investment income of $480,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 consisted of gross realized gains of $632,000 and gross realized losses of $152,000. The fair value of available-for-sale securities as of June 30, 2001 was $7,862,000, with related gross unrealized gains of $5,315,000 and gross unrealized losses of $200,000, respectively. At June 30, 2001, the cost of available-for- sale securities totaled $2,747,000.
Investments in non-publicly held entities as of June 30, 2001, totaled $20,738,000. These investments are accounted for under the cost method and are included in other assets in the accompanying balance sheets.

During the three months ended June 30, 2001, we acquired a property containing approximately 96,000 rentable square feet from an unrelated third party for an aggregate purchase price (including closing and transaction costs) of approximately $11.9 million.
3. Unsecured Line of Credit
We have an unsecured line of credit that provides for borrowings of up to $325 million. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at a floating rate based on our election of either a LIBOR based rate or the higher of the bank's reference rate and the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%. For each LIBOR based advance, we must elect to fix the rate for a period of one, two, three or six months. As of June 30, 2001, borrowings outstanding on the line of credit carried a weighted average interest rate of 5.87%.
The line of credit contains financial covenants, including, among other things, maintenance of minimum net worth, a total liabilities to gross asset value ratio, and a fixed charge coverage ratio. In addition, the terms of the line of credit restrict, among other things, certain investments, indebtedness, distributions and mergers.
The line of credit expires February 2003 and provides for an extension (provided there is no default) of an additional one-year period, upon notice by the company and consent of the participating banks.
4. Interest Rate Swap Agreements
We utilize interest rate swap agreements to hedge our exposure to variable interest rates associated with our unsecured line of credit. These agreements involve an exchange of fixed and floating interest payments without the exchange of the underlying principal amount (the "notional amount"). Interest received under all of our swap agreements is based on the one-month LIBOR rate.
The following table summarizes our interest rate swap agreements as of June 30, 2001 (dollars in thousands):
Notional Interest
Transaction Date Effective Date Amount Pay Rate Termination Date Fair Value
- ------------------- --------------- ------------ -------- ---------------- -----------
April 2000 May 20, 2000 $ 50,000 6.995% January 2, 2003 $ (1,959)
July 2000 May 31, 2001 $ 50,000 7.070% May 31, 2003 $ (2,294)
January 2001 January 31, 2001 $ 50,000 6.350% December 31, 2002$ (1,479)
------------
Total $ (5,732)
============
Effective January 1, 2001, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by Statement No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities." SFAS 133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative financial instruments such as our interest rate swap agreements. Specifically, SFAS 133 requires us to reflect our interest rate swap agreements on the balance sheet at their estimated fair value. We use a variety of methods and assumptions based on market conditions and risks existing at each balance sheet date to determine the fair values of our interest rate swap agreements. These methods of assessing fair value result in a general approximation of value, and such value may never be realized. As of January 1, 2001, the adoption of SFAS 133, as amended, resulted in qualifying interest rate swap agreements reported on the balance sheet as a liability of approximately $3.5 million, with a corresponding reduction to accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders' equity.
All of our interest rate swap agreements meet the criteria to be deemed "effective" under SFAS 133 in reducing our exposure to variable interest rates. Accordingly, we have categorized these instruments as cash flow hedges.
As of June 30, 2001, our interest rate swap agreements have been reported in the accompanying balance sheet at their fair value as other liabilities of approximately $5.7 million. Unrealized losses on our interest rate swap agreements are initially reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income. Balances in accumulated other comprehensive income are recognized in earnings as swap payments are made.
5. Stockholders' Equity
In April 2001, we completed the placement of 500,000 shares of common stock to institutional investors. The shares were issued at a price of $36.444 per share, resulting in aggregate proceeds of approximately $16.8 million, net of offering costs.
On June 14, 2001, we declared a cash dividend on our common stock aggregating $7,478,000 ($ 0.46 per share) for the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2001. We paid the dividend on July 16, 2001. On June 14, 2001, we also declared a cash dividend on our Series A preferred stock aggregating $916,000 ($ 0.59375 per share) for the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2001. We paid the dividend on July 16, 2001.

The loan is payable in monthly installments and is due in August 2010.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain information and statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements containing the words "believes," "expects", "may", "will", "should", "seeks", "approximately", "intends", "plans", "estimates" or "anticipates", or the negative of these words or similar words, constitute "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. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties regarding events, conditions and financial trends that may affect our future plans of operation, business strategy, results of operations and financial position.

We do not take any responsibility to update any of these factors or to announce publicly any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained in this or any other document, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Readers of this Form 10-Q should also read our Securities and Exchange Commission and other publicly filed documents for further discussion regarding such factors. As used in this Form 10-Q, "we," "our," "ours" and "us" refer to Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this report.
Overview
Since our formation in October 1994, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the ownership, operation, management, acquisition, conversion, retrofitting, expansion and selective development and redevelopment of strategically located Life Science Facilities in our target markets.
As of June 30, 2001, our portfolio consisted of 78 properties containing approximately 5.1 million rentable square feet of office/laboratory space. As of that date, our properties were approximately 99% leased, excluding those properties in our development program. Our primary source of revenue is rental income and tenant recoveries from leases at the properties we own. The comparability of financial data from period to period is affected by the timing of our acquisition and development activities.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 ("Second Quarter 2001") to Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 ("Second Quarter 2000")
Rental revenue increased by $3.9 million, or 20%, to $23.6 million for Second Quarter 2001 compared to $19.7 million for Second Quarter 2000. The increase resulted primarily from rental revenue from properties acquired or placed in service after April 1, 2000. Rental revenue from the properties operating before April 1, 2000 (the "Second Quarter Same Properties") increased by $966,000, or 5.7%, due to increases in rental rates and occupancy.
Tenant recoveries increased by $1.2 million, or 25%, to $5.9 million for Second Quarter 2001 compared to $4.7 million for Second Quarter 2000. The increase resulted partially from tenant recoveries from the properties acquired or placed in service after April 1, 2000. Tenant recoveries for the Second Quarter Same Properties increased by $444,000, or 10.5%, primarily due to increases in certain recoverable operating expenses.
Interest and other income increased by $385,000, or 70%, to $938,000 for Second Quarter 2001 compared to $553,000 for Second Quarter 2000, resulting primarily from $480,000 of investment income.
Rental operating expenses increased by $1.1 million, or 22%, to $5.9 million for Second Quarter 2001 compared to $4.8 million for Second Quarter 2000. The increase resulted partially from rental operating expenses from the properties acquired or placed in service after April 1, 2000. Operating expenses for the Second Quarter Same Properties increased by $599,000, or 13.7%, primarily due to increases in utilities and tenant related expenses (substantially all of which are recoverable from our tenants through tenant recoveries).
The following is a comparison of property operating data computed under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP Basis") and under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, adjusted to exclude the effect of straight line rent adjustments required by GAAP ("Cash Basis") for the Second Quarter Same Properties (dollars in thousands):
For the Three Months
Ended June 30,
-----------------------
2001 2000 Change
----------- ----------- ---------
GAAP BASIS:
Revenue $22,943 $21,620 6.1%
Rental operating expenses 4,959 4,360 13.7%
----------- ----------- ---------
Net operating income $17,984 $17,260 4.2%
=========== =========== =========
CASH BASIS (1):
Revenue $22,593 $20,797 8.6%
Rental operating expenses 4,959 4,360 13.7%
----------- ----------- ---------
Net operating income $17,634 $16,437 7.3%
=========== =========== =========
_________
(1) Revenue and operating expenses are computed in accordance with GAAP, except that revenue excludes the effect of straight line rent adjustments.
General and administrative expenses increased by $715,000, or 34%, to $2.8 million for Second Quarter 2001 compared to $2.1 million for Second Quarter 2000. The increase was primarily due to general and administrative expenses associated with the continued expansion of our portfolio of Life Science Facilities and related scope of operations.
Interest expense increased by $915,000, or 15%, to $6.9 million for Second Quarter 2001 compared to $6.0 million for Second Quarter 2000. The increase resulted from (a) indebtedness incurred to purchase the properties acquired after April 1, 2000 and (b) indebtedness incurred to finance the development of properties, for which development has now been completed.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $1.8 million, or 32%, to $7.5 million for Second Quarter 2001 compared to $5.7 million for Second Quarter 2000. The increase resulted primarily from depreciation associated with the properties acquired or placed in service after April 1, 2000.
As a result of the foregoing, net income was $7.3 million for Second Quarter 2001 compared to $6.3 million for Second Quarter 2000.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 ("Six Months 2001") to Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 ("Six Months 2000")
Rental revenue increased by approximately $8.9 million, or 23%, to $47.2 million for Six Months 2001 compared to $38.3 million for Six Months 2000. The increase resulted primarily from rental revenue from properties acquired or placed in service after January 1, 2000. Rental revenue from the Properties acquired or placed in service before January 1, 2000 (the "Six Months Same Properties") increased by $2.1 million, or 7.5%, primarily due to increases in rental rates.
Tenant recoveries increased by approximately $2.7 million, or 29%, to $12.2 million for Six Months 2001 compared to $9.5 million for Six Months 2000. The increase resulted primarily from tenant recoveries from properties acquired or placed in service after January 1, 2000. Tenant recoveries from the Six Months Same Properties increased by $1.1 million, or 15.4%, primarily due to increases in certain recoverable operating expenses.
Interest and other income increased by $924,000, or 84%, to $2.0 million for Six Months 2001 compared to $1.1 million for Six Months 2000, resulting from $1.1 million of investment income.
Rental operating expenses increased by approximately $2.8 million, or 29%, to $12.6 million for Six Months 2001 compared to $9.8 million for Six Months 2000. The increase resulted primarily from properties acquired or placed in service after January 1, 2000. Operating expenses for the Six Months Same Properties increased by $1.5 million, or 20.4%, primarily due to increases in utilities and tenant related expenses (substantially all of which are recoverable from our tenants through tenant recoveries).
The following is a comparison of property operating data computed on a GAAP Basis and on a Cash Basis for the Six Months Same Properties (dollars in thousands):

(1) Revenue and operating expenses are computed in accordance with GAAP, except that revenue excludes the effect of straight line rent adjustments.
General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $1.5 million, or 36%, to $5.7 million for Six Months 2001 compared to $4.2 million for Six Months 2000. The increase was primarily due to the continued increase in the scope of our operations.
Interest expense increased by approximately $2.7 million, or 24%, to $14.2 million for Six Months 2001 compared to $11.5 million for Six Months 2000. The increase resulted from (a) indebtedness incurred to purchase the properties acquired after January 1, 2000 and (b) indebtedness incurred to finance the development of properties, for which development has now been completed.
Depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $2.9 million, or 26%, to $14.2 million for Six Months 2001 compared to $11.3 million for Six Months 2000. The increase resulted primarily from depreciation associated with properties acquired or placed in service after January 1, 2000.
As a result of the foregoing, net income was $14.6 million for Six Months 2001 compared to $12.1 million for Six Months 2000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities for Six Months 2001 increased by $5.1 million, to $19.3 million compared to $14.2 million for Six Months 2000. The increase resulted primarily from increases in operating cash flows from properties acquired or placed in service after January 1, 2000 and increases in trade accounts payable due to the timing of disbursements. These increases were offset by the increase in restricted cash held in escrow to complete the development of an office/laboratory facility.
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $30.1 million, to $92.5 million for Six Months 2001 compared to $62.4 million for Six Months 2000 primarily due to a higher level of acquisition and redevelopment activity during Six Months 2001 compared to Six Months 2000.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $28.5 million, to $74.0 million for Six Months 2001 compared to $45.5 million for Six Months 2000. Cash provided by financing activities for Six Months 2001 and Six Months 2000 consisted primarily of net proceeds from our unsecured line of credit, secured debt and exercise of stock options, partially offset by principal reductions on our secured debt and distributions to stockholders.
Commitments
As of June 30, 2001, we were committed under the terms of certain leases to complete the construction of buildings and related improvements at a remaining aggregate cost of $18.5 million.
As of June 30, 2001, we were also committed to fund approximately $52.8 million for the construction of generic building infrastructure improvements for tenants under the terms of various leases and for certain investments.

Unsecured line of credit
We have an unsecured line of credit that provides for borrowings of up to $325 million. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at a floating rate based on our election of either a LIBOR based rate or the higher of the bank's reference rate and the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%. For each LIBOR based advance, we must elect to fix the rate for a period of one, two, three or six months. As of June 30, 2001, borrowings outstanding on the line of credit carried a weighted average interest rate of 5.87%.
The line of credit contains financial covenants, including, among other things, maintenance of minimum net worth, a total liabilities to gross asset value ratio, and a fixed charge coverage ratio. In addition, the terms of the line of credit restrict, among other things, certain investments, indebtedness, distributions and mergers.
The line of credit expires February 2003 and provides for an extension (provided there is no default) of an additional one-year period, upon notice by us and consent of the participating banks.
We utilize interest rate swap agreements to hedge our exposure to variable interest rates associated with our unsecured line of credit. These agreements involve an exchange of fixed and floating interest payments without the exchange of the underlying principal amount (the "notional amount"). Interest received under all of our swap agreements is based on the one-month LIBOR rate. The net difference between the interest paid and the interest received is reflected as an adjustment to interest expense.
The following table summarizes our interest rate swap agreements (dollars in thousands):
Notional Interest
Transaction Date Effective Date Amount Pay Rate Termination Date Fair Value
- ------------------- --------------- ------------ -------- ---------------- -----------
April 2000 May 20, 2000 $ 50,000 6.995% January 2, 2003 $ (1,959)

============
With respect to our swap agreements, we are exposed to losses in the event the financial institution is unable to perform under the agreements, or in the event one-month LIBOR is less than the agreed-upon fixed interest rates.
Other Resources and Liquidity Requirements
We expect to continue meeting our short-term liquidity and capital requirements generally by using our working capital and net cash provided by operating activities. We believe that the net cash provided by operating activities will continue to be sufficient to make distributions necessary to enable us to continue qualifying as a real estate investment trust. We also believe that net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to fund our recurring non-revenue enhancing capital expenditures and leasing commissions.
We expect to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements, for purposes such as property acquisitions, property development and redevelopment activities, scheduled debt maturities, generic building infrastructure improvements funded for tenants and non-recurring capital improvements, through long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, including borrowings under our line of credit, and the issuance of additional debt and/or equity securities.
Inflation
Approximately 83% of our leases (on a square footage basis) are triple net leases, requiring tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes and insurance, common area and other operating expenses, including increases therein. In addition, approximately 11% of our leases (on a square footage basis) require the tenants to pay a majority of operating expenses. Approximately 91% of our leases (on a square footage basis) contain effective annual rent escalations that are either fixed (generally ranging from 3% to 4%) or indexed based on a CPI index. Accordingly, we do not believe that our earnings or cash flow are subject to any significant risk from inflation. An increase in inflation, however, could result in an increase in our variable rate borrowing cost, including borrowings under our unsecured line of credit.
Funds from Operations
We believe that funds from operations ("FFO") is helpful to investors as a measure of the performance of an equity REIT because, along with cash flows from operating activities, financing activities and investing activities, it provides investors with an understanding of our ability to incur and service debt, to make capital expenditures and to make distributions. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") in its October 1999 White Paper (the "White Paper"), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Further, FFO does not represent amounts available for our discretionary use because a portion of FFO is needed for capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. The White Paper defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as an indication of our financial performance or to cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions.
The following table presents our FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 (in thousands):

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk, which is the result of many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control.
In order to modify and manage the interest characteristics of our outstanding debt and limit the effects of interest rates on our operations, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, floors and other interest rate exchange contracts. The use of these types of instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates carries additional risks such as counter-party credit risk and legal enforceability of hedging contracts.
Our future earnings, cash flows and fair values relating to financial instruments are primarily dependent upon market rates of interest, such as LIBOR. However, our interest rate swap agreements are intended to reduce the effects of interest rate changes. Based on interest rates at, and our swap agreements in effect on, June 30, 2001, we estimate that a 1% increase in interest rates on our line of credit would decrease annual future earnings and cash flows, after considering the effect of our interest rate swap agreements, by approximately $1.2 million. We further estimate that a 1% decrease in interest rates on our line of credit would increase annual future earnings and cash flows, after considering the effect of our interest rate swap agreements, by approximately $1.2 million. A 1% increase in interest rates on our secured debt and interest rate swap agreements would decrease their aggregate fair value by approximately $11.3 million. A 1% decrease in interest rates on our secured debt and interest rate swap agreements would increase their aggregate fair value by approximately $12.6 million. A 1% increase or decrease in interest rates on our secured note receivable would not have a material impact on its fair value.
These amounts are determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on our borrowing cost and our interest rate swap agreements in effect on June 30, 2001. These analyses do not consider the effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment. Further, in the event of a change of such magnitude, we would consider taking actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in our capital structure.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
