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
Duke Realty Limited 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. The General Partner is the
sole general partner of the Partnership and owns 87.6% of the
Partnership at March 31, 1998. 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 $200 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 2001 and bears interest at
the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus .80%. The
Partnership also has a demand $7 million secured revolving
- 6 -
credit facility which is available to provide working capital. This
facility bears interest at the 30-day LIBOR rate plus .65%.
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 $600,000 and $750,000 for such services for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997, 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. NET INCOME PER COMMON UNIT
Basic net income per common unit is computed by dividing net income
available for common units by the weighted average number of common
units outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per unit is
computed by dividing net income available for common units by the
sum of the weighted average number of common units and dilutive
potential common units outstanding for the period.
The following table reconciles the components of basic and diluted
net income per unit as of March 31:
1998 1997
------ ------
Basic and diluted net income available
for Common Units $25,442 $16,952
====== ======
Weighted average partnership units

Dilutive units for long-term
compensation plans 946 823
------ ------
Weighted average number of common
units and dilutive

5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 23, 1998, a quarterly distribution of $.30 per Common Unit
was declared, payable on May 29, 1998 to Common Unitholders of record
on May 13, 1998.
On April 23, 1998, a quarterly distribution was declared of $.56875

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 March 31, 1998,
the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and
cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
and the related condensed consolidated statement of partners'
equity for the three months ended March 31, 1998. 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, 1997, 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, 1998, 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, 1997 is fairly presented, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been
derived.

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 94% the last two
years and was at 94% at March 31, 1998. 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
March 31, 1998 and 1997 (in thousands, except percentages):

------ ------ ------- -------
Total 43,797 27,659 100.00% 100.00% 93.75% 95.45%
====== ====== ======= =======
Management expects occupancy of the in-service property portfolio
to remain stable because (i) only 8.6% and 12.3% of the
Partnership's occupied square footage is subject to leases
expiring in the remainder of 1998 and in 1999, respectively, and
(ii) the Partnership's renewal percentage averaged 81%, 80% and
65% in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

This stable occupancy, along with stable rental rates in each of
the Partnership's markets, will allow the in-service portfolio to
continue to provide a comparable or increasing level of earnings
from rental operations. The Partnership also expects to realize
growth in earnings from rental operations through (i) the
development and acquisition of additional rental properties in its
primary markets; (ii) the expansion into other attractive
Midwestern markets; and (iii) the completion of the 4.3 million
square feet of properties under development at March 31, 1998 over
the next four quarters. The 4.3 million square feet of properties
under development should provide future earnings from rental
operations growth for the Partnership as they are placed in service

Rental Operations
-----------------
The Partnership increased its in-service portfolio of rental
properties from 250 properties comprising 27.7 million square
feet at March 31, 1997 to 381 properties comprising 43.8 million
square feet at March 31, 1998 through the acquisition of 100
properties totaling 9.5 million square feet and the completion of
36 properties and two building expansions totaling 7.1 million
square feet developed by the Partnership. The Partnership also
disposed of 5 properties totaling approximately 400,000 square
feet. These 131 net additional rental properties primarily
account for the $28.8 million increase in revenues from Rental
Operations from 1997 to 1998. The Partnership also received $3.4
million of net lease termination payments which is included in
rental income for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Included
in rental income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 is
$1.2 million of net lease termination payments. The increase from
1997 to 1998 in rental expenses, real estate taxes and
depreciation and amortization expense is also a result of the
additional 131 in-service rental properties.
Interest expense increased by approximately $4.3 million from
$8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $12.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 due to
additional unsecured debt issued in the Partnership's medium-term
note program in the third quarter of 1997 to fund the development
and acquisition of additional rental properties.
As a result of the above-mentioned items, earnings from rental
operations increased $12.1 million from $18.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 to $30.9 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1998.
Service Operations
------------------
Service Operations revenues increased to $4.9 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $3.9 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 primarily as a result of
increases in construction management fee revenue because of an
increase in third-party construction volume. Service Operations
operating expenses increased from $3.5 million
- 11 -
to $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as
compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997 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 increased from $462,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 to $895,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1998.
General and Administrative Expense
-----------------------------------
General and administrative expense increased from $1.1 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $2.3 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 primarily as a result of the
growth in revenues and net income of the Partnership.
Other Income (Expense)
----------------------
Interest income decreased from $251,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 to $177,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1998 primarily as a result of interest income which was
earned on short-term investments during the three months ended
March 31, 1997. Other expense consists of costs incurred in
pursuit of unsuccessful development on acquisition opportunities.
Net Income Available for Common Units
-------------------------------------
Net income available for common units for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 was $25.4 million compared to net income available
for common units of $17.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1997. 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 $38.6 million
and $28.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively, represents the primary source of liquidity to
fund distributions to unitholders and the other minority
interests, and to fund recurring costs 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 $109.1 million and
$41.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
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.
In 1998, $93.4 million was invested in the development and
acquisition of additional rental properties and the acquisition
of land held for development. In 1997, the investment in the
development and acquisition of additional rental
- 12 -
properties and land held for development was $34.8 million.
Included in the $93.4 million of net cash used by investing
activities for the development and acquisition of rental
properties for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are
acquisitions of two portfolios consisting of fourteen industrial
buildings and one office building.
Net cash provided by financing activities totaling $88.8 million
and $19.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively, represents funds from equity and debt
offerings and borrowings under the lines of credit to fund the
Partnership's investing activities. Also included in financing
activities is the distribution of funds to unitholders and
minority interests. In January 1997, the Partnership received
$56.7 million of net proceeds from the General Partner's common
stock offering which was used to pay down amounts outstanding on
the unsecured line of credit and to fund current development
activity. In 1998, the Partnership received $33.1 million of net
proceeds from the General Partner's Common Stock offerings which
was used to pay down amounts outstanding on the unsecured line of
credit and to fund current development and acquisition activity.
During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Partnership
received $7.4 million of net proceeds from the issuance of common
stock under the General Partner's Direct Stock Purchase and
Dividend Reinvestment Plan. In the first quarter of 1998, the
Partnership received $100.0 million of net proceeds from the
offering of 7.05% Puttable Reset Securities due March 1, 2006.
The Partnership has a $200 million unsecured line of credit which
matures in April 2001 and bears interest at the 30-day LIBOR rate
plus .80%. The Partnership also has a demand $7 million secured
revolving credit facility which is available to provide working
capital. This facility bears interest at the 30-day LIBOR rate
plus .65%.
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 May 5, 1998 of approximately $1.4 billion 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 March 31, 1998 consists of notes
totaling $803.9 million with a weighted average interest rate of
7.50% maturing at various dates through 2025. The Partnership has
$440.0 million of unsecured debt and $363.9 million of secured
debt outstanding at March 31, 1998. Scheduled principal
amortization of such debt totaled $1.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1998.

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 months ended March 31 as follows (in
thousands):
Three months ended
March 31,
------------------
1998 1997
-------- --------
Net income available for common Units $25,442 $16,952
Add back:
Depreciation and amortization 14,260 9,499
Share of joint venture adjustments 582 523
Earnings from property sales (586) (280)
------ ------
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS $39,698 $26,694
====== ======
CASH FLOW PROVIDED BY (USED BY):
Operating activities $ 38,620 $28,879
Investing activities (109,051) (41,176)
Financing activities 88,823 19,853
- 14 -
The increase in FFO for the three months ended March 31, 1998
compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997 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.
RECENTLY ENACTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 1998, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board reached a consensus on Issue No. 97-11
"Accounting for Internal Costs Relating to Real Estate Property
Acquisitions" which requires the internal cost of pre-acquisition
activities incurred in connection with the acquisition of an
operating property be expensed as incurred. During the first
quarter of 1998, the Partnership capitalized approximately
$275,000 of internal costs of pre-acquisition activities which
under Issue No. 97-11 would have been expensed.
