HIGHWOODS REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2000
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Operating Partnership is a subsidiary of the Company. At June 30,
2000, the Company owned 87.0% of the Common Units in the Operating Partnership.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Operating Partnership and its majority controlled affiliates. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated
financial statements.
The Operating Partnership's 125,000 Series A Preferred Units are senior
to the Class A and B Common Units and rank pari passu with the Series B and D
Preferred Units. The Series A Preferred Units have a liquidation preference of
$1,000 per unit. Distributions are payable on the Series A Preferred Units at
the rate of $86.25 per annum per unit.
The Operating Partnership's 6,900,000 Series B Preferred Units are
senior to the Class A and B Common Units and rank pari passu with the Series A
and D Preferred Units. The Series B Preferred Units have a liquidation
preference of $25 per unit. Distributions are payable on the Series B Preferred
Units at the rate of $2.00 per annum per unit.
The Operating Partnership's 400,000 Series D Preferred Units are senior
to the Class A and B Common Units and rank pari passu with the Series A and B
Preferred Units. The Series D Preferred Units have a liquidation preference of
$250 per unit. Distributions are payable on Series D Preferred Units at a rate
of $20.00 per annum per unit.
The Class A Common Units are owned by the Company and by certain
limited partners of the Operating Partnership. The Class A Common Units owned by
the Company are classified as general partners' capital and limited partners'
capital. The Class B Common Units are owned by certain limited partners (not the
Company) and only differ from the Class A Common Units in that they are not
eligible for allocation of income and distributions. The Class B Common Units
will convert to Class A Common Units in 25% annual installments commencing one
year from the date of issuance. Prior to such conversion, such Class B Common
Units will not be redeemable for cash or shares of the Company's Common Stock.
Generally one year after issuance, the Operating Partnership is
obligated to redeem each of the Class A Common Units not owned by the Company
(the "Redeemable Operating Partnership Units") at the request of the holder
thereof for cash, provided that the Company at its option may elect to acquire
such unit for one share of Common Stock or the cash value thereof. The Company's
Class A Common Units are not redeemable for cash. The Redeemable Operating
Partnership Units are classified outside of the permanent partners' capital in
the accompanying balance sheet at their fair market value (equal to the fair
market value of a share of Common Stock) at the balance sheet date.
The extraordinary loss represents the write-off of loan origination
fees and prepayment penalties paid on the early extinguishment of debt.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,
which is required to be adopted in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.
In June 1999, FASB issued Statement No. 137, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 133, which stipulates the required adoption date to be all fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. In June, 2000, FASB issued Statement No.
138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging
Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. Statement No. 133, as
amended by Statement No. 138, requires us to recognize all derivatives on the
balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to
fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature
of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives will either be offset
against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm
commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until
the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a
derivative's
8
change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. The fair market
value of our derivatives is discussed in Item 2.
2. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our sole business is the acquisition, development and operation of
rental real estate properties. We operate office, industrial and retail
properties and apartment units. There are no material inter-segment
transactions.
Our chief operating decision maker ("CDM") assesses and measures
operating results based upon property level net operating income. The operating
results for the individual assets within each property type have been aggregated
since the CDM evaluates operating results and allocates resources on a
property-by-property basis within the various property types.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described
in Note 1. Further, all operations are within the United States and no tenant
comprises more than 10% of consolidated revenues. The following table summarizes
the rental income, net operating income and total assets for each reportable
segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

3. DISPOSITION AND JOINT VENTURE ACTIVITY
On May 9, 2000, we closed a transaction with Dreilander-Fonds 97/26 and
99/32 ("DLF II") pursuant to which we sold or contributed five in-service office
properties encompassing 570,000 rentable square feet and a 246,000 square-foot
development project valued at approximately $117.0 million to a newly created
limited partnership (the "DLF II Joint Venture"). DLF II contributed $24.0
million in cash for a 40.0% ownership interest in the DLF II Joint Venture and
the DLF II Joint Venture borrowed approximately $60.0 million from third-party
lenders. We retained the remaining 60.0% interest in the DLF II Joint Venture,
received net cash proceeds of approximately $74.0 million and are the sole and
exclusive manager and leasing agent of the DLF II Joint Venture's properties,
for which we receive customary management fees and leasing commissions. It is
anticipated that DLF II will exercise its option to contribute up to an
additional $24.0 million in cash to the DLF II Joint Venture before the end of
2000 to
9
increase its ownership percentage to 80.0%. We have adopted the equity method
of accounting for this joint venture.
In addition to the properties sold or contributed to the DLF II Joint
Venture, during the six months ended June 30, 2000, we sold approximately 2.5
million rentable square feet of non-core office and industrial properties and
89.0 acres of development land for gross proceeds of $153.9 million. We recorded
a gain of $3.9 million related to these dispositions. Included in these sales
were certain properties encompassing 887,000 square feet sold to an entity
majority-owned by a related party for a selling price of $69.0 million. Non-core
office and industrial properties generally include single buildings or business
parks that do not fit our long-term strategy. Since June 30, 2000, an additional
1.7 million square feet of non-core office and industrial properties, which are
included in property held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30,
2000, have been sold for gross proceeds of $137.2 million. Included in these
sales were certain properties encompassing 1.1 million square feet sold to an
entity majority-owned by a related party for a selling price of $100.0 million.
At June 30, 2000, the carrying value of the assets held for sale was reduced to
fair value based on the selling price less costs to sell. The resulting
adjustment of $23.0 million to reduce the assets held for sale to fair value was
recorded, and is included in the (loss)/gain on disposition of assets, net of
income tax provision, in the Consolidated Income Statement.
On August 9, 2000, we agreed to form two joint ventures with an
institutional investor. First, we expect to sell or contribute 20 in-service
office properties encompassing 2.6 million rentable square feet valued at
approximately $352.0 million to a newly created limited liability company. As
part of the formation of this first joint venture, the institutional investor
will contribute approximately $85.0 million in cash for an 80.0% ownership
interest and the joint venture will borrow approximately $250.0 million from
third-party lenders. We will retain the remaining 20.0% ownership interest and
receive net cash proceeds of approximately $300.0 million. Second, we expect to
develop nine additional properties encompassing 861,000 rentable square feet
with a budgeted cost of approximately $110.0 million (including approximately
$15.0 million of development land that we currently own) to a second newly
created limited liability company. We will each own 50.0% of this second joint
venture. In addition, we will be the sole and exclusive manager and leasing
agent for the properties in both joint ventures, for which we will receive
customary management fees and leasing commissions. We will be adopting the
equity method of accounting for both joint ventures. These transactions are
subject to customary closing conditions, including the completion of due
diligence, the execution of other definitive agreements and the ability to
obtain satisfactory financing, and are expected to close before the end of 2000.
However, we cannot assure you that these transactions will be consummated or
that they will be consummated on the terms described in this quarterly report.
4. LEGAL CONTINGENCIES
On October 2, 1998, John Flake, a former stockholder of J.C. Nichols,
filed a putative class action lawsuit on behalf of himself and the other former
stockholders of J.C. Nichols in the United States District Court for the
District of Kansas against J.C. Nichols, certain of its former officers and
directors and the Company. The complaint alleges, among other things, that in
connection with the merger of J.C. Nichols and the Company, (1) J.C. Nichols and
the named directors and officers of J.C. Nichols breached their fiduciary duties
to J.C. Nichols' stockholders, (2) J.C. Nichols and the named directors and
officers of J.C. Nichols breached fiduciary duties to members of the J.C.
Nichols Company Employee Stock Ownership Trust, (3) all defendants participated
in the dissemination of a proxy statement containing materially false and
misleading statements and omissions of material facts in violation of Section
14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and (4) the Company filed a
registration statement with the SEC containing materially false and misleading
statements and omissions of material facts in violation of Sections 11 and 12(2)
of the Securities Act of 1933. The plaintiff seeks equitable relief and monetary
damages. We believe that the defendants have meritorious defenses to the
plaintiff's allegations and intend to vigorously defend this litigation. By
order dated June 18, 1999, the court granted in part and denied in part our
motion to dismiss. The court has granted the plaintiff's motion seeking
certification of the proposed class of plaintiffs with respect to the remaining
claims. Discovery in this matter has now been completed, and we are seeking
summary judgment and dismissal of all claims asserted by the plaintiff.
Plaintiff John Flake passed away on or about April 2, 2000, and plaintiff's
counsel has substituted his estate as the representative plaintiff in this
action. Due to the inherent uncertainties of the litigation process and the
judicial system, we are not able to predict the outcome of this litigation. At
this time, we do not expect the result of this litigation to have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with all of the
financial statements appearing elsewhere in the report and is based primarily
on the consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership.
10
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2000. Revenues from rental operations
decreased $4.0 million, or 2.8%, from $141.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 to $137.3 million for the comparable period in 2000. The decrease
is primarily a result of the disposition of 6.4 million square feet of
majority-owned office, industrial and retail properties offset in part by the
acquisition of 0.8 million square feet of majority-owned office, industrial and
retail properties and the completion of 3.8 million square feet of development
activity during the last six months of 1999 and the first six months of 2000.
Our in-service portfolio decreased from 40.0 million square feet at June 30,
1999 to 38.5 million square feet at June 30, 2000. Same property revenues, which
are the revenues of the 473 in-service properties and 1,885 apartment units
owned on April 1, 1999, increased 2.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2000,
compared to the same three months of 1999.
During the three months ended June 30, 2000, 240 leases representing
1.1 million square feet of office, industrial and retail space were executed at
an average rate per square foot which was 6.4% higher than the average rate per
square foot on the expired leases.
Interest and other income increased $1.3, or 27.6%, from $4.7 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $6.0 million for the comparable
period in 2000. The increase was a result of an increase in interest income
related to a $30.0 million note receivable that was recorded as a result of
certain property dispositions in June, 1999 and an increase in cash balances and
termination fees from 1999 to 2000. During the three months ended June 30, 2000,
the Operating Partnership generated $260,788 in auxiliary income (vending and
parking) as a result of acquiring multifamily communities in the merger with
J.C. Nichols in 1998.
Rental operating expenses decreased $2.8 million, or 6.3%, from $44.1
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $41.3 million for the
comparable period in 2000. The decrease is primarily a result of the disposition
of 6.4 million square feet of majority owned office, industrial and retail
properties offset in part by the acquisition of 0.8 million square feet of
majority owned office, industrial and retail properties and the completion of
3.8 million square feet of development activity during the last six months of
1999 and the first six months of 2000. Rental operating expenses as a percentage
of related revenues decreased from 31.2% for the three months ended June 30,
1999 to 30.1% for the comparable period in 2000.
Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2000
and 1999 was $29.3 million and $27.7 million, respectively. The increase of $1.6
million, or 5.8%, is due to an increase in depreciable assets over the prior
year. Interest expense decreased $1.1 million, or 3.8%, from $28.6 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $27.5 million for the comparable period
in 2000. The decrease is attributable to the decrease in the outstanding debt
for the entire quarter of 2000. Interest expense for the three months ended June
30, 2000 and 1999 included $577,000 and $734,000, respectively, of amortization
of deferred financing costs and the costs related to our interest rate hedge
contracts. General and administrative expenses decreased from 3.9% of total
revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to 3.6% for the comparable
period in 2000.
Net income before extraordinary item equaled $14.9 million and $41.7
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
Operating Partnership recorded $8.1 million in preferred unit distributions for
the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2000. Revenues from rental operations
decreased $14.3 million, or 5.0%, from $287.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 to $272.8 million for the comparable period in 2000. The decrease
is primarily a result of the disposition of 6.4 million square feet of
majority-owned office, industrial and retail properties, offset in part by
the acquisition of 0.8 million square feet of majority-owned office, industrial
and retail properties and the completion of 3.8 million square feet of
development activity during the last six months of 1999 and the first six months
of 2000. Our in-service portfolio decreased from 40.0 million square feet at
June 30, 1999 to 38.5 million square feet at June 30, 2000. Same property
revenues, which are the revenues of the 470 in-service properties owned on
January 1, 1999, increased 3.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared
to the same six months of 1999.
During the six months ended June 30, 2000, 517 leases representing 3.3
million square feet of office, industrial and retail space commenced at an
average rate per square foot which was 6.6% higher than the average rate per
square foot on the expired leases.
Interest and other income increased $.8 million, or 8.0%, from $9.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $10.0 million for the
comparable period in 2000. The increase was a result of an increase in interest
income related to a $30.0 million note receivable that was recorded as a result
of certain property dispositions
11
in June, 1999 and an increase in cash balances and termination fees from 1999 to
2000. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Operating Partnership
generated $481,983 in auxiliary income (vending and parking) as a result of
acquiring multifamily communities in the merger with J.C. Nichols in 1998.
Rental operating expenses decreased $8.8 million, or 9.8%, from $89.4
million for the six months ended June 30 1999 to $80.6 million for the
comparable period in 2000. The decrease is primarily a result of the disposition
of 6.4 million square feet of majority-owned office, industrial and retail
properties, offset in part by the acquisition of 0.8 million square feet of
majority-owned office, industrial and retail properties and the completion of
3.8 million square feet of development activity during the last six months of
1999 and the first six months of 2000. Rental operating expenses as a percentage
of related revenues decreased from 31.1% for the six months ended June 30, 1999
to 29.5% for the comparable period in 2000.
Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2000
and 1999 was $57.5 million and $55.7 million, respectively. The increase of $1.8
million, or 3.2%, is due to an increase in depreciable assets over the prior
year. Interest expense decreased $4.9 million, or 8.3%, from $59.2 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $54.3 million for the comparable period in
2000. The decrease is attributable to the decrease in the outstanding debt for
the entire six months. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000
and 1999 included $1.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of amortization
or deferred financing costs and the costs related to our interest rate hedge
contracts. General and administrative expenses remained constant at 4.0% of
rental revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and the comparable period
in 2000.
Net income before extraordinary item equaled $62.7 million and $83.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
Operating Partnership recorded $16.3 million in preferred unit distributions for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Statement of Cash Flows. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, cash
provided by operating activities increased by $42.4 million, or 44.0%, to $138.7
million, as compared to $96.3 million for the same period in 1999. The increase
is due to (1) the collection of a $30.0 million note receivable and (2) the
accrual of an $18.0 million liability related to the DLF II Joint Venture during
the six months ended June 30, 2000. Cash provided by investing activities was
$67.1 million for the first six months of 2000, as compared to $220.3 million
for the same period in 1999. The decrease is primarily due to the decline in
disposition activity, offset in part by the decline in acquisition activity
during the first six months of 2000, as compared to the same period in 1999.
Cash used in financing activities was $196.2 million for the first six months of
2000, as compared to $253.1 million for the same period in 1999. The decrease is
primarily due to the increase in the borrowings on mortgages and notes payable
under the revolving loan from 1999 to 2000, offset in part by the decrease in
net proceeds from the sale of Common Stock and the repurchase of Common Stock
and Common Units. Payments of distributions on common units remained constant at
$76.2 million for the first six months of 2000 and 1999. Preferred unit
distributions were $16.3 million for the first six months of 2000 and 1999.
Capitalization. The Operating Partnership's total indebtedness at June
30, 2000 totaled $1.7 billion and was comprised of $549.9 million of secured
indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 7.9% and $1.1 billion of
unsecured indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 7.4%. Except as
stated below, all of the mortgage and notes payable outstanding at June 30, 2000
were either fixed rate obligations or variable rate obligations covered by
interest rate hedge contracts. A portion of our $450.0 million unsecured
revolving loan (the "Revolving Loan") and approximately $37.8 million in
floating rate notes payable assumed upon consummation of the merger with J.C.
Nichols were not covered by interest rate hedge contracts on June 30, 2000.
To meet in part our long-term liquidity requirements, we borrow funds
at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Borrowings under our Revolving
Loan bear interest at variable rates. Our long-term debt, which consists of
long-term financings and the issuance of debt securities, typically bears
interest at fixed rates. In addition, we have assumed fixed rate and variable
rate debt in connection with acquiring properties. Our interest rate risk
management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings
and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these
objectives, from time to time we enter into interest rate hedge contracts such
as collars, swaps, caps and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our
interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We do not hold or
issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.
12
The following table sets forth information regarding our interest rate
hedge contracts as of June 30, 2000:
Notional Maturity Reference Fixed Fair Market
Type of Hedge Amount Date Rate Rate Value
- ------------- ------ ---- ---- ---- -----
Swap $20,117 6/10/02 1-Month LIBOR + 0.75% 6.95% $234
Collar 80,000 10/15/01 1-Month LIBOR 5.60 - 6.25% 556
We enter into swaps, collars and caps to limit our exposure to an
increase in variable interest rates, particularly with respect to amounts
outstanding under our Revolving Loan. The interest rate on all of our variable
rate debt is adjusted at one and three-month intervals, subject to settlements
under these contracts. We also enter into treasury lock agreements from time to
time in order to limit our exposure to an increase in interest rates with
respect to future debt offerings.
In addition, we are exposed to certain losses in the event of
nonperformance by the counterparties under the interest rate hedge contracts. We
expect the counterparties, which are major financial institutions, to perform
fully under these contracts. However, if the counterparties were to default on
their obligations under the interest rate hedge contracts, we could be required
to pay the full rates on our debt, even if such rates were in excess of the
rates in the contracts.
Current and Future Cash Needs. Historically, rental revenue has been
the principal source of funds to pay operating expenses, debt service,
stockholder distributions and capital expenditures, excluding nonrecurring
capital expenditures. In addition, construction management, maintenance, leasing
and management fees have provided sources of cash flow. We presently have no
plans for major capital improvements to the existing in-service properties,
other than normal recurring building improvements, tenant improvements and lease
commissions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally
through working capital and net cash provided by operating activities along with
the Revolving Loan.
Our short-term (within the next 12 months) liquidity needs also
include, among other things, the funding of approximately $122.3 million of our
existing development activity. We expect to fund our short-term liquidity needs
through a combination of:
o additional borrowings under our Revolving Loan (approximately
$243.5 million was available as of June 30, 2000);
o the issuance of secured debt;
o the selective disposition of non-core assets; and
o the sale or contribution of some of our wholly owned properties to
strategic joint ventures to be formed with selected partners
interested in investing with us, which will have the net effect of
generating additional capital through such sale or contributions.
Our long-term liquidity needs generally include the funding of existing
and future development activity, selective asset acquisitions and the retirement
of mortgage debt, amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loan and long-term
unsecured debt. We remain committed to maintaining a flexible and conservative
capital structure. Accordingly, we expect to meet our long-term liquidity needs
through a combination of (1) the issuance by the Operating Partnership of
additional unsecured debt securities, (2) the issuance of additional equity
securities by the Company and the Operating Partnership as well as (3) the
sources described above with respect to our short-term liquidity. We expect to
use such sources to meet our long-term liquidity requirements either through
direct payments or repayment of borrowings under the Revolving Loan. We do not
intend to reserve funds to retire existing secured or unsecured indebtedness
upon maturity. Instead, we will seek to refinance such debt at maturity or
retire such debt through the issuance of equity or debt securities.

Recent Developments
Stock Repurchase. From January 1, 2000 to August 14, 2000, the Company
repurchased 3.5 million shares of Common Stock and Common Units at a weighted
average price of $23.50 per share/unit, for a total purchase price of $82.6
million.
Disposition and Joint Venture Activity. On May 9, 2000, we closed a
transaction with Dreilander-Fonds 97/26 and 99/32 ("DLF II") pursuant to which
we sold or contributed five in-service office properties encompassing 570,000
rentable square feet and a 246,000-square-foot development project valued at
approximately $117.0 million to a newly created limited partnership (the "DLF II
Joint Venture"). DLF II contributed $24.0 million in cash for a 40.0% ownership
interest in the DLF II Joint Venture and the DLF II Joint Venture borrowed
approximately $60.0 million from third-party lenders. We retained the remaining
60.0% interest in the DLF II Joint Venture, received net cash proceeds of
approximately $74.0 million and are the sole and exclusive manager and leasing
agent of the DLF II Joint Venture's properties, for which we receive customary
management fees and leasing commissions. It is anticipated that DLF II will
exercise its option to contribute up to an additional $24.0 million in cash to
the DLF II Joint Venture before the end of 2000 to increase its ownership
percentage to 80.0%.
In addition to the properties sold or contributed to the DLF II Joint
Venture, during the six months ended June 30, 2000, we sold approximately 2.5
million rentable square feet of non-core office and industrial properties and
89.0 acres of development land for gross proceeds of $153.9 million. Non-core
office and industrial properties generally include single buildings or business
parks that do not fit our long-term strategy. Since June 30, 2000, an additional
1.7 million square feet of non-core office and industrial properties have been
sold for gross proceeds of $137.2 million.
On August 9, 2000, we agreed to form two joint ventures with an
institutional investor. First, we expect to sell or contribute 20 in-service
office properties encompassing 2.6 million rentable square feet valued at
approximately $352.0 million to a newly created limited liability company. As
part of the formation of this first joint venture, the institutional investor
will contribute approximately $85.0 million in cash for an 80.0% ownership
interest and the joint venture will borrow approximately $250.0 million from
third-party lenders. We will retain the remaining additional 20.0% ownership
interest and receive net cash proceeds of approximately $300.0 million. Second,
we expect to develop nine additional properties encompassing 861,000 rentable
square feet with a budgeted cost of approximately $110.0 million (including
approximately $15.0 million of development land that we currently own) to a
second newly created limited liability company. We will each own 50.0% of this
second joint venture. In addition, we will be the sole and exclusive manager and
leasing agent for the properties in both joint ventures, for which we will
receive customary management fees and leasing commissions. These transactions
are subject to customary closing conditions, including the completion of due
diligence, the execution of other definitive agreements and the ability to
obtain satisfactory financing, and are expected to close before the end of 2000.
However, we cannot assure you that these transactions will be consummated or
that they will be consummated on the terms described in this quarterly report.
We expect to use a portion of the net proceeds from our recent and
pending disposition activity to reinvest in tax-deferred exchange transactions
under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. As of August 14, 2000, we
expect to reinvest up to $37.0 million of the net proceeds from recent
disposition activity to acquire in tax-deferred exchange transactions in-service
properties, development land and development projects located in core markets
and in sub-markets where we have a strong presence. For an exchange to qualify
for tax-deferred treatment under Section 1031, the net proceeds from the sale of
a property must be held by an escrow agent until applied toward the purchase of
real estate qualifying for gain deferral. Given the competition for properties
meeting our investment criteria, there may be some delay in reinvesting such
proceeds. Delays in reinvesting such proceeds will reduce our income from
operations. In addition, the use of net proceeds from dispositions to fund
development activity, either through direct payments or repayment of borrowings
under our revolving loan, will reduce our income from operations until such
development projects are placed in service.
Possible Environmental Liabilities
In connection with owning or operating our properties, we may be liable
for certain costs due to possible environmental liabilities. Under various laws,
ordinances and regulations, such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response
Compensation and Liability Act, and common law, an owner or operator of real
estate is liable for the costs to remove or remediate certain hazardous or toxic
chemicals or substances on or in the property. Owners or operators are also
liable for certain other costs, including governmental fines and injuries to
persons and
14
property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner
or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or
toxic chemicals or substances. The presence of such substances, or the failure
to remediate such substances properly, may adversely affect the owner's or
operator's ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow using such
property as collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal, treatment or
transportation of hazardous or toxic chemicals or substances may also be liable
for the same types of costs at a disposal, treatment or storage facility,
whether or not that person owns or operates that facility.
Certain environmental laws also impose liability for releasing
asbestos-containing materials. Third parties may seek recovery from owners or
operators of real property for personal injuries associated with
asbestos-containing materials. A number of our properties have
asbestos-containing materials or material that we presume to be
asbestos-containing materials. In connection with owning and operating our
properties, we may be liable for such costs.
In addition, it is not unusual for property owners to encounter on-site
contamination caused by off-site sources. The presence of hazardous or toxic
chemicals or substances at a site close to a property could require the property
owner to participate in remediation activities or could adversely affect the
value of the property. Contamination from adjacent properties has migrated onto
at least three of our properties; however, based on current information, we do
not believe that any significant remedial action is necessary at these affected
sites.
As of the date hereof, we have obtained Phase I environmental
assessments (and, in certain instances, Phase II environmental assessments) on
substantially all of our in-service properties. These assessments have not
revealed, nor are we aware of, any environmental liability at our properties
that we believe would materially adversely affect our financial position,
operations or liquidity taken as a whole. This projection, however, could be
incorrect depending on certain factors. For example, material environmental
liabilities may have arisen after the assessments were performed or our
assessments may not have revealed all environmental liabilities or may have
underestimated the scope and severity of environmental conditions observed.
There may also be unknown environmental liabilities at properties for which we
have not obtained a Phase I environmental assessment or have not yet obtained a
Phase II environmental assessment. In addition, we base our assumptions
regarding environmental conditions, including groundwater flow and the existence
and source of contamination, on readily available sampling data. We cannot
guarantee that such data is reliable in all cases. Moreover, we cannot provide
any assurances (1) that future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose a
material environmental liability or (2) that tenants, the condition of land or
operations in the vicinity of our properties or unrelated third parties will not
affect the current environmental condition of our properties.
Some tenants use or generate hazardous substances in the ordinary
course of their respective businesses. In their leases, we require these tenants
to comply with all applicable laws and to be responsible to us for any damages
resulting from their use of the property. We are not aware of any material
environmental problems resulting from tenants' use or generation of hazardous or
toxic chemicals or substances. We cannot provide any assurances, however, that
all tenants will comply with the terms of their leases or remain solvent. If
tenants do not comply or do not remain solvent, we may at some point be
responsible for contamination caused by such tenants.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,
which is required to be adopted in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.
In June 1999, FASB issued Statement No. 137, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the FASB Statement No. 133,
which stipulates the required adoption date to be all fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. In June, 2000, FASB issued Statement No. 138, Accounting
for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities - an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. Statement No. 133, as amended by Statement
No. 138, requires us to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair
value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through
income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge,
changes in the fair value of derivatives will either be offset against the
change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments
through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged
item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change
in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. The fair market value
of our derivatives is discussed under "--Liquidity and Capital Resources."
Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA"), all public
accommodations and commercial facilities are required to meet certain federal
requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. These
15
requirements became effective in 1992. Compliance with the ADA requirements
could require removal of access barriers, and noncompliance could result in
imposition of fines by the U.S. government or an award of damages to private
litigants. Although we believe that our properties are substantially in
compliance with these requirements, we may incur additional costs to comply with
the ADA. Although we believe that such costs will not have a material adverse
effect on us, if required changes involve a greater expenditure than we
currently anticipate, our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources
could be materially adversely affected.
Funds From Operations and Cash Available for Distributions
We consider funds from operations ("FFO") to be a useful financial
performance measure of the operating performance of an equity REIT because,
together with net income and cash flows, FFO provides investors with an
additional basis to evaluate the ability of a REIT to incur and service debt and
to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures. FFO does not represent net
income or cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as
defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). It should not be
considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating
performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. FFO does not measure
whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all cash needs, including principal
amortization, capital improvements and distributions to stockholders. Further,
FFO as disclosed by other REITs may not be comparable to our calculation of FFO,
as described below. FFO and cash available for distributions should not be
considered as alternatives to net income as an indication of our performance or
to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
FFO equals net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding
gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus
depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures. In March 1995, the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") issued a clarification of the definition of
FFO. The clarification provides that amortization of deferred financing costs
and depreciation of non-real estate assets are no longer to be added back to net
income in arriving at FFO. In October 1999, NAREIT issued an additional
clarification effective as of January 1, 2000 stipulating that FFO should
include both recurring and non-recurring operating results. Consistent with this
clarification, non-recurring items that are not defined as "extraordinary" under
GAAP will be reflected in the calculation of FFO. Gains and losses from the sale
of depreciable operating property will continue to be excluded from the
calculation of FFO.
Cash available for distribution is defined as FFO reduced by
non-revenue enhancing capital expenditures for building improvements and tenant
improvements and lease commissions related to second generation space.

FFO and cash available for distribution for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 are summarized in the following table (in

Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may
contain forward-looking statements. Such statements include, in particular,
statements about our plans, strategies and prospects under "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." You
can identify forward-looking statements by our use of forward-looking
terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate,"
"continue" or other similar words. Although we believe that our plans,
intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our plans, intentions or
expectations will be achieved. When considering such forward-looking statements,
you should keep in mind the following important factors that could cause our
actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statement:
o our markets could suffer unexpected increases in development of
office, industrial and retail properties;
o the financial condition of our tenants could deteriorate;
o the costs of our development projects could exceed our original
estimates;
o we may not be able to complete development, acquisition,
reinvestment, disposition or joint venture projects as quickly or
on as favorable terms as anticipated;
o we may not be able to lease or release space quickly or on as
favorable terms as old leases;
o we may have incorrectly assessed the environmental condition of
our properties;
o an unexpected increase in interest rates would increase our debt
service costs;
o we may not be able to continue to meet our long-term liquidity
requirements on favorable terms;
o we could lose key executive officers; and
o our southeastern markets may suffer an unexpected decline in
economic growth or increase in unemployment rates.
Given these uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance
on forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly release
the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be
made to reflect any future events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence
of unanticipated events.

(1) Includes operating expenses pass throughs and excludes the effect of future
contractual rent increases.
Inflation
Historically inflation has not had a significant impact on our
operations because of the relatively low inflation rate in our geographic areas
of operation. Most of the leases require the tenants to pay their pro rata share
of increased incremental operating expenses, including common area maintenance,
real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in
operating expenses resulting from inflation. In addition, many of the leases are
for terms of less than seven years, which may enable us to replace existing
leases with new leases at a higher base rent if rents on the existing leases are
below the market rate.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The effects of potential changes in interest rates are discussed below.
Our market risk discussion includes "forward-looking statements" and represents
an estimate of possible changes in fair value or future earnings that would
occur assuming hypothetical future movements in interest rates. These
disclosures are not precise indicators of expected future losses, but only
indicators of reasonably possible losses. As a result, actual future results may
differ materially from those presented. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources" for a
description of our accounting policies and other information related to these
financial instruments.
To meet in part our long-term liquidity requirements, we borrow funds
at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Borrowings under the Revolving
Loan bear interest at variable rates. Our long-term debt, which consists of
long-term financings and the issuance of debt securities, typically bears
interest at fixed rates. In addition, we have assumed fixed rate and variable
rate debt in connection with acquiring properties. Our interest rate risk
management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings
and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these
objectives, from time to time we enter into interest rate hedge contracts such
as collars, swaps, caps and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our
interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We do not hold or
issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.
Certain Variable Rate Debt. As of June 30, 2000, the Operating
Partnership had approximately $126.8 million of variable rate debt outstanding
that was not protected by interest rate hedge contracts. If the weighted average
interest rate on this variable rate debt is 100 basis points higher or lower
during the 12 months ended June 30, 2001, our interest expense would be
increased or decreased approximately $1.3 million. In addition, as of June 30,
2000, we had $80.0 million of additional variable rate debt outstanding that was
protected by an interest rate collar that effectively keeps the interest rate
within a range of 65 basis points. We do not believe that a 100 basis point
increase or decrease in interest rates would materially affect our interest
expense with respect to this $80.0 million of debt.
Interest Rate Hedge Contracts. For a discussion of our interest rate
hedge contracts in effect at June 30, 2000, see "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -Liquidity and Capital
Resources - Capitalization." If interest rates increase by 100 basis points, the
aggregate fair market value of these interest rate hedge contracts as of June
30, 2000 would increase by approximately $1.2 million. If interest rates
decrease by 100 basis points, the aggregate fair market value of these interest
rate hedge contracts as of June 30, 2000 would decrease by approximately $1.0
million.
In addition, we are exposed to certain losses in the event of
nonperformance by the counterparties under the hedge contracts. We expect the
counterparties, which are major financial institutions, to perform fully under
these contracts. However, if the counterparties were to default on their
obligations under the interest rate hedge contracts, we could be required to pay
the full rates on our debt, even if such rates were in excess of the rates in
the contracts.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On October 2, 1998, John Flake, a former stockholder of J.C. Nichols,
filed a putative class action lawsuit on behalf of himself and the other former
stockholders of J.C. Nichols in the United States District Court for the
District of Kansas against J.C. Nichols, certain of its former officers and
directors and the Company. The complaint alleges, among other things, that in
connection with the merger of J.C. Nichols and the Company, (1) J.C. Nichols and
the named directors and officers of J.C. Nichols breached their fiduciary duties
to J.C. Nichols' stockholders, (2) J.C. Nichols and the named directors and
officers of J.C. Nichols breached fiduciary duties to members of the J.C.
Nichols Company Employee Stock Ownership Trust, (3) all defendants participated
in the dissemination of a proxy statement containing materially false and
misleading statements and omissions of material facts in violation of Section
14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and (4) the Company filed a
registration statement with the SEC containing materially false and misleading
statements and omissions of material facts in violation of Sections 11 and 12(2)
of the Securities Act of 1933. The plaintiff seeks equitable relief and monetary
damages. We believe that the defendants have meritorious defenses to the
plaintiff's allegations and intend to vigorously defend this litigation. By
order dated June 18, 1999, the court granted in part and denied in part our
motion to dismiss. The court has granted the plaintiff's motion seeking
certification of the proposed class of plaintiffs with respect to the remaining
claims. Discovery in this matter has now been completed, and we are seeking
summary judgment and dismissal of all claims asserted by the plaintiff.
Plaintiff John Flake passed away on or about April 2, 2000, and plaintiff's
counsel has substituted his estate as the representative plaintiff in this
action. Due to the inherent uncertainties of the litigation process and the
judicial system, we are not able to predict the outcome of this litigation. At
this time, we do not expect the result of this litigation to have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
