Section 8 – Other Events
Item 8.01. Other Events
Our General Partner expects to file shelf registration statements on Forms S-3 and S-8 to register securities during September 2005. In connection with the expected filings, we have reclassified the operations of certain properties we have sold or identified as held for sale that occurred subsequent to December 31, 2004 into discontinued operations within our consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements that were previously filed in our 2004 annual report on Form 10-K.
As previously reported, in October 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which became effective on January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 144 requires us to report in discontinued operations the results of operations of a property that has either been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, unless certain conditions are met. SFAS No. 144 further requires us to reclassify results of operations from a property disposed or held for sale as income from discontinued operations during all reported periods. The purpose of this Current Report on Form 8-K is to set forth audited consolidated financial statements of the Duke Realty Limited Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, including revised notes thereto, which reflect the impact of reclassifying results of operations from properties identified as held for sale subsequent to December 31, 2004 in accordance with SFAS No. 144.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, we sold or held for sale sixteen properties owned by us and not classified as assets held for sale as of December 31, 2004. The results of operations from such properties have been reclassified as income from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements. There is no effect on the previously reported net income available for common unitholders.
Management does not believe that this reclassification in accordance with SFAS No. 144 has a material effect on our selected consolidated financial data or management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 as previously reported in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We are not revising Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) included in our 2004 annual report on Form 10-K given the insignificance of the reclassified amounts.
