5 - DUKE REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Duke Realty Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") without audit. The statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10- 01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Financial Statements. THE PARTNERSHIP The Partnership was formed on October 4, 1993, when Duke Realty Investments, Inc. (the "Predecessor Company" or the "General Partner") contributed all of its properties and related assets and liabilities along with the net proceeds from the issuance of an additional 14,000,833 units through a common stock offering to the Partnership. Simultaneously, the Partnership completed the acquisition of Duke Associates, a full-service commercial real estate firm operating in the Midwest. The General Partner was formed in 1985 and qualifies as a real estate investment trust under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. In connection with the Common Stock, the formation of the Partnership and the acquisition of Duke Associates, the General Partner effected a 1 for 4.2 reverse stock split of its existing common units. The General Partner is the sole general partner of the Partnership and owns 90.35% of the Partnership at June 30, 1997. The remaining limited partnership interest ("Limited Partner Units") (together with the units of general partner interests, the ("Common Units")) are mainly owned by the previous partners of Duke Associates. The Limited Partner Units are exchangeable for units of the General Partner's common stock on a one-for-one basis subject generally to a one-year holding period. The General Partner periodically acquires a portion of the minority interest in the Partnership through the issuance of shares of common stock for a like number of Common Units. The acquisition of the minority interest is accounted for under the purchase method with assets acquired recorded at the fair market value of the General Partner's common stock on the date of acquisition. The service operations are conducted through Duke Realty Services Limited Partnership and Duke Construction Limited Partnership, in which the Partnership has an 89% profits interest (after certain preferred returns on partners' capital accounts) and effective control of their operations. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries. The equity interests in these majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries not owned by the Partnership are reflected as minority interests in the consolidated financial statements. 2. LINES OF CREDIT The Partnership has a $150 million unsecured revolving credit facility which is available to fund the development and acquisition of additional rental properties and to provide working capital. The revolving line of credit matures in April 1998 and bears interest payable at the 30-day London - 6 - Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.00%. The Partnership also has a demand $10 million secured revolving credit facility which is available to provide working capital. This facility bears interest payable monthly at the 30-day LIBOR rate plus .75%. 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Partnership provides management, maintenance, leasing, construction, and other tenant related services to properties in which certain executive officers have continuing ownership interests. The Partnership was paid fees totaling $1.7 million and $1.6 million for such services for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Management believes the terms for such services are equivalent to those available in the market. The Partnership has an option to purchase the executive officers' interest in each of these properties which expires October 2003. The option price of each property was established at the date the option was granted. 4. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Partnership may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and treasury locks in order to mitigate its interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. The Partnership has designated these derivative financial instruments as hedges and applies deferral accounting as the instrument to be hedged exposes the Partnership to interest rate risk and the derivative financial instrument reduces that exposure. Gains and losses related to the derivative financial instrument are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the term of the hedged instrument. In April 1997, the Partnership entered into a Forward Treasury Lock Agreement in order to hedge its exposure to interest rate fluctuations on an anticipated $100 million unsecured debt financing expected to close in the third quarter of 1997. Any gain or loss under the agreement will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the financing. Based on the applicable treasury rates as of June 30, 1997, the amount of loss to be amortized to interest expense would have been approximately $2.4 million. 5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On July 24, 1997, a quarterly distribution of $.59 per Common Unit was declared payable on August 29, 1997, to common unitholders of record on August 15, 1997. On July 24, 1997, a quarterly distribution was declared of $.56875 per depositary unit of Series A Preferred Units which is payable on August 29, 1997 to the preferred unitholders of record on August 15, 1997. - 7 - On July 11, 1997, the General Partner issued $150 million of Series B Cumulative Step-up Redeemable Preferred Shares raising net proceeds of $146.1 million and contributed these proceeds to the Partnership in exchange for Series B Preferred Units. These securities are not redeemable prior to September 30, 2007 and offer a cumulative preferential distribution of 7.99% through September 2012, and 9.99% thereafter. On July 24, 1997, a quarterly distribution of $.88778 per depositary unit of the Series B Cumulative Step-up Redeemable Preferred Units was declared. The distribution is payable on September 30, 1997 to preferred unitholders of record on September 16, 1997 and is applicable to the period beginning July 11, 1997 and ending September 30, 1997. On August 7, 1997, the Partnership declared a 2-for-1 Common Unit split in the form of a 100% common unit distribution on its common units. The common unit distribution will be payable August 25, 1997 to unitholders of record on August 18, 1997. - 8 - INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT -------------------------------------- The Partners DUKE REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP: We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Duke Realty Limited Partnership and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1997, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the related condensed consolidated statement of partners' equity for the six months ended June 30, 1997. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Duke Realty Limited Partnership and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations, partners' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated January 29, 1997, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996 is fairly presented, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived. KPMG Peat Marwick LLP Indianapolis, Indiana July 31, 1997 - 9 - ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW -------- The Partnership's operating results depend primarily upon income from the rental operations of its industrial, office and retail properties located in its primary markets. This income from rental operations is substantially influenced by the supply and demand for the Partnership's rental space in its primary markets. In addition, the Partnership's continued growth is dependent upon its ability to maintain occupancy rates and increase rental rates of its in-service portfolio and to continue development and acquisition of additional rental properties. The Partnership's primary markets in the Midwest have continued to offer strong and stable local economies and have provided attractive new development opportunities because of their central location, established manufacturing base, skilled work force and moderate labor costs. Consequently, the Partnership's occupancy rate of its in-service portfolio has exceeded 92% the last two years and was at 95.71% at June 30, 1997. The Partnership expects to continue to maintain its overall occupancy levels at comparable levels and also expects to be able to increase rental rates as leases are renewed or new leases are executed. This stable occupancy as well as increasing rental rates should improve the Partnership's results of operations from its in- service properties. The Partnership's strategy for continued growth also includes developing and acquiring additional rental properties in its primary markets and expanding into other attractive Midwestern markets. The following table sets forth information regarding the Partnership's in-service portfolio of rental properties as of June 30, 1997 and 1996 (in thousands, except percentages): Total Percent of Square Feet Total Square Feet Percent Occupied ------------------ ----------------- ---------------- Type 1997 1996 1997 1996 1997 1996 ---- -------- -------- ------- ------ ------- ------ INDUSTRIAL Service Centers 3,051 2,971 9.71% 12.80% 94.93% 93.62% Bulk 18,702 12,926 59.55 55.67 95.64% 90.50% OFFICE Suburban 6,875 4,684 21.89 20.17 96.86% 97.12% CBD 699 699 2.22 3.01 91.09% 81.29% Medical 369 333 1.18 1.43 95.79% 90.26% RETAIL 1,710 1,606 5.45 6.92 95.15% 92.98% ------ ------ ------ ------ Total 31,406 23,219 100.00% 100.00% 95.71% 92.13% ====== ====== ====== ====== Management expects occupancy of the in-service property portfolio to remain stable because (i) only 5.5% and 10.8% of the Partnership's occupied square footage is subject to leases expiring in the remainder of 1997 and in 1998, respectively, and (ii) the Partnership's renewal percentage averaged 80%, 65% and 73% in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. - 10 - The following table reflects the Partnership's in-service portfolio lease expiration schedule as of June 30, 1997 by product type indicating square footage and annualized net effective rents under expiring leases (in thousands, except per square foot amounts): Industrial Office Retail Total Portfolio ----------------- ---------------- ---------------- --------------- Yr.of Sq.

The Partnership also disposed of 4 properties totaling 495,000 square feet. These 43 net additional rental properties primarily account for the $13.9 million increase in revenues from Rental Operations from 1996 to 1997. The increase from 1996 to 1997 in rental expenses, real estate taxes and depreciation and amortization expense is also a result of the additional 43 in-service rental properties. Interest expense increased by approximately $2.6 million from $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $9.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 due to additional unsecured debt issued in its medium-term note program in the last two quarters of 1996 to fund the development and acquisition of additional rental properties. As a result of the above-mentioned items, earnings from rental operations increased $6.4 million from $12.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $18.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. Service Operations ------------------ Service Operation revenues and total operating expenses remained stable for both the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. As a result, earnings from Service Operations increased slightly from $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. General and Administrative Expense ---------------------------------- General and administrative expense increased from $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 primarily as a result of increased state and local taxes due to the growth in revenues and net income of the Partnership. - 12 - Other Income (Expense) ---------------------- Interest income decreased from $264,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $182,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 primarily as a result of interest income which was earned on certain escrows during the three months ended June 30, 1996 which were refunded later in 1996. Other expense consists of costs incurred during the pursuit of various build-to-suit development projects or the acquisition of real estate assets. During the three months ended June 30, 1997, approximately $312,000 of costs were expensed in connection with the decision to abandon the acquisition of a large real estate portfolio. Net Income Available for Common Units ------------------------------------- Net income available for common units for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $16.5 million compared to net income available for common units of $14.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996. This increase results primarily from the operating result fluctuations in rental and service operations explained above. COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rental Operations ----------------- The Partnership increased its in-service portfolio of rental properties from 219 properties comprising 23.2 million square feet at June 30, 1996 to 262 properties comprising 31.4 million square feet at June 30, 1997 through the acquisition of 28 properties totaling 3.6 million square feet and the completion of 19 properties and 4 building expansions totaling 5.1 million square feet developed by the Partnership. The Partnership also disposed of 4 properties totaling 495,000 square feet. These 43 net additional rental properties primarily account for the $28.2 million increase in revenues from Rental Operations from 1996 to 1997. The Partnership also received a $1.2 million net lease termination payment made by a tenant in one of the Partnership's office properties which is included in rental income for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase from 1996 to 1997 in rental expenses, real estate taxes and depreciation and amortization expense is also a result of the additional 43 in- service rental properties. Interest expense increased by approximately $3.3 million from $14.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $17.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 due to additional unsecured debt issued in its medium-term note program in the last two quarters of 1996 to fund the development and acquisition of additional rental properties. As a result of the above-mentioned items, earnings from rental operations increased $14.0 million from $23.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $37.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. - 13 - Service Operations ------------------ Service Operation revenues decreased to $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in construction management fees caused by certain higher profit third-party construction projects that were in process during the six months ended June 30, 1996 which resulted in higher revenue margins. Service Operation operating expenses increased from $6.7 million to $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996 primarily as a result of an increase in operating expenses resulting from the overall growth of the Partnership. As a result of the above-mentioned items, earnings from Service Operations decreased from $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. General and Administrative Expense ---------------------------------- General and administrative expense increased from $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 primarily as a result of increased state and local taxes due to the growth in revenues and net income of the Partnership. Other Income (Expense) ---------------------- Interest income decreased from $608,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $433,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 primarily as a result of interest income which was earned on certain escrows during the six months ended June 30, 1996 which were refunded later in 1996. Other expense consists of the write- off of costs incurred during the pursuit of various build-to-suit development projects or the acquisition of real estate assets. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, approximately $312,000 of costs were written-off in connection with the decision to terminate the pursuit of the acquisition of a large real estate portfolio. Net Income Available for Common Units ------------------------------------- Net income available for common units for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $33.4 million compared to net income available for common units of $25.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. This increase results primarily from the operating result fluctuations in rental and service operations explained above. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Net cash provided by operating activities totaling $72.2 million and $39.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, represents the primary source of liquidity to fund distributions to unitholders and the other minority interests and to fund recurring costs - 14 - associated with the renovation and re-letting of the Partnership's properties. This increase is primarily a result of, as discussed above under "Results of Operations," the increase in net income resulting from the expansion of the in-service portfolio through development and acquisitions of additional rental properties. Net cash used by investing activities totaling $176.2 million and $93.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, represents the investment of funds by the Partnership to expand its portfolio of rental properties through the development and acquisition of additional rental properties net of proceeds received from property sales. In 1997, $153.3 million was invested in the development and acquisition of additional rental properties and the acquisition of land held for development. In 1996, the investment in the development and acquisition of additional rental properties and land held for development was $132.7 million. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership invested over $30 million in a newly formed joint venture with an institutional investor which allowed the joint venture to purchase a 345,000 square foot office property in Chicago, Illinois which was over 95% occupied. Net cash provided by financing activities totaling $101.2 million and $49.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, represents the source of funds from equity and debt offerings and borrowings on the lines of credit to fund the Partnership's investing activities. Also included in financing activities are the distribution of funds to unitholders and minority interests. In 1996, the Partnership received $126.1 million of net proceeds from the General Partner's common equity offering which was used to pay down amounts outstanding on the unsecured line of credit and to fund current development and acquisition activity. In January 1997, the Partnership received $56.7 million of net proceeds from the General Partner's common equity offering which was used to pay down amounts outstanding on the unsecured line of credit and to fund current development activity. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership also received $7.0 million of net proceeds from the issuance of common stock under the General Partner's Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan and the exercise of employee stock options. The Partnership has a $150 million unsecured line of credit which matures in April 1998. In January 1996, the borrowing rate was LIBOR plus 1.625%. In September 1996, the borrowing rate was reduced to LIBOR plus 1.25%. On March 27, 1997 the borrowing rate was further reduced to LIBOR plus 1.00%. The Partnership also has a demand $10 million secured revolving credit facility which is available to provide working capital. This facility bears interest payable at the 30-day LIBOR rate plus .75%. The General Partner and the Partnership currently have on file Form S-3 Registration Statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Shelf Registrations") which had remaining availability as of July 30, 1997 of approximately $760.0 million to issue common stock, preferred stock or unsecured debt securities. The General Partner and the Partnership intend to issue additional equity or debt under these Shelf Registrations as capital needs arise to fund the development and acquisition of additional rental properties. The total debt outstanding at June 30, 1997 consists of notes totaling $614.9 million with a weighted average interest rate of 7.44% maturing at various dates through 2017. The Partnership has $343.0 million of unsecured debt and $271.9 million of secured debt - 15 - outstanding at June 30, 1997. Scheduled principal amortization of such debt totaled $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Following is a summary of the scheduled future amortization and maturities of the Partnership's indebtedness at June 30, 1997 (in thousands): Repayments ------------------------------------------ Weighted Average Scheduled Interest Rate of Year Amortization Maturities Total Future Repayments ---- ------------ ---------- -------- ----------------- 1997 $ 2,033 $ 10,000 $ 12,033 6.61% 1998 4,574 149,590 154,164 6.84% 1999 5,323 28,470 33,793 6.17% 2000 3,418 44,853 48,271 7.39% 2001 3,137 59,954 63,091 8.71% 2002 3,412 50,000 53,412 7.37% 2003 1,144 68,216 69,360 8.48% 2004 1,239 50,000 51,239 7.15% 2005 1,346 100,000 101,346 7.48% 2006 1,465 - 1,465 7.58% Thereafter 17,391 9,292 26,683 7.71% ------ ------- ------- Total $44,482 $570,375 $614,857 7.44% ====== ======= ======= The 1997 maturities consist of the outstanding balance on the Partnership's $10 million demand secured line of credit. The Partnership intends to pay regular quarterly distributions from net cash provided by operating activities. A quarterly distribution of $.59 per common unit was declared on July 24, 1997 payable on August 29, 1997 to unitholders of record on August 15, 1997, which represents an annualized distribution of $2.36 per share. A quarterly distribution of $.56875 per depositary preferred unit of Series A Preferred Units was declared on July 24, 1997 which is payable on August 29, 1997 to preferred unitholders of record on July 24, 1997. On July 24, 1997, the Board of Directors declared a distribution of $.88778 per depositary preferred unit of Series B Cumulative Step-up Redeemable Preferred Units. The distribution is payable on September 30, 1997 to preferred unitholders of record on September 16, 1997 and is applicable to the period beginning July 11, 1997 and ending September 30, 1997. Each depositary unit represents one-tenth of a unit of the Partnership's 7.99% Series B Preferred Units. FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS Management believes that Funds From Operations ("FFO"), which is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net income or loss excluding gains or losses from debt restructuring and sales of property plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for minority interest, unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures (adjustments for minority interest, unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis), is the industry standard for reporting the operations of real estate investment trusts. The following table reflects the calculation of the Partnership's FFO for the three and six months ended June 30 as follows (in thousands): - 16 - Three months ended Six months ended June 30, June 30, ---------------------- -------------------- 1997 1996 1997 1996 -------- -------- ------- -------- Net income available for common units $ 16,464 $14,150 $ 33,416 $25,727 Add back: Depreciation and amortization 10,052 8,793 19,551 15,554 Share of joint venture depreciation and amortization 791 443 1,314 883 Earnings from property sales (102) (1,618) (382) (1,604) ------ ------ ------- ------ Funds From Operations $ 27,205 $21,768 $ 53,899 $40,560 ====== ====== ======= ====== Cash flow provided by (used by): Operating activities $ 43,326 $24,845 $ 72,205 $39,150 Investing activities (135,001) (13,733) (176,177) (93,598) Financing activities 81,864 (22,719) 101,717 49,040 The increase in FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 results primarily from the increased in-service rental property portfolio as discussed above under "Results of Operations." While management believes that FFO is the most relevant and widely used measure of the Partnership's operating performance, such amount does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles, should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Partnership's operating performance, and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. - 17 - PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
