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. 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 90.3% of the Partnership at March 31, 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
- 6 -
revolving line of credit matures in April 1998 and bears interest
payable at the 30-day London 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 $750,000 and $681,000 for
such services for the three months ended March 31, 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. FORWARD TREASURY LOCK AGREEMENT
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 by June 30, 1997. Any gain or loss
under the agreement will be amortized to interest expense over the
term of the financing.
5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 24, 1997, a quarterly distribution of $.51 per Common
Unit was declared payable on May 30, 1997, to Common Unitholders
of record on May 16, 1997.
On April 24, 1997, a quarterly distribution was declared of
$.56875 per depositary Preferred Unit which is payable on May
30, 1997 to the Preferred Unitholders of record on May 16, 1997.

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, 1997, the related condensed consolidated statements of
operations and cash flows for the three months ended March
31, 1997 and 1996, and the related condensed consolidated
statement of partners' equity for the three months ended
March 31, 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.

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 95.5% at March 31, 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 March
31, 1997 and 1996 (in thousands, except percentages):
Total Percent of

------ ------ ------- -------
Total 27,659 22,297 100.00% 100.00% 95.45% 93.55%
====== ====== ======= =======
Management expects occupancy of the in-service property portfolio
to remain stable because (i) only 8.1% and 12.1% 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.

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 5.1 million
square feet of properties under development at March 31, 1997 over
the next four quarters. The 5.1 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 214 properties comprising 23.0 million square feet
at March 31, 1996 to 250 properties comprising 27.7 million square
feet at March 31, 1997 through the acquisition of 23 properties
totaling 2.1 million square feet and the completion of 15
properties and three building expansions totaling 3.5 million
square feet developed by the Partnership. The Partnership also
disposed of two properties totaling 226,000 square feet. These 36
net additional rental properties primarily account for the $14.4
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 three
months ended March 31, 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 36 in-
service rental properties.
Interest expense increased by approximately $600,000 from $8.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $8.6 million
for the three months ended March 31, 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 $7.6 million from $11.2 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 to $18.8 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997.
Service Operations
------------------
Service Operation revenues decreased to $3.9 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to $4.3 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1996. This decrease was primarily the
result of a decrease in construction management fees caused by
unfavorable weather conditions during the three months ended March
31, 1997. Service Operation operating expenses increased from $3.2
million to $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997
as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996 primarily as a
result of an increase in operating expenses resulting from the
overall growth of the Partnership.
- 11 -
As a result of the above-mentioned items, earnings from Service
Operations decreased from $1.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 to $462,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1997.
General and Administrative Expense
----------------------------------
General and administrative expense increased from $921,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 to $1.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 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 $344,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 to $251,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1997 primarily as a result of interest income which was earned on
certain escrows during the three months ended March 31, 1996 which
were refunded later in 1996.
Net Income Available for Common Units
-------------------------------------
Net income available for common units for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 was $17.0 million compared to net income available
for common units of $11.6 million for the three months ended March
31, 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 $29.0 million
and $14.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 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 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 $41.2 million and
$79.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 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, $34.8 million was
invested in the development 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 $84.2 million. Included in the
$84.2 million of net cash used by investing activities for the
development and acquisition of rental properties for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 is $44.5 million related to the
acquisition of eight suburban office buildings totaling 782,000
gross square feet in Cleveland, Ohio. The purchase price of these
eight buildings was approximately $76.0 million which included the
assumption of $23.1 million of mortgage debt and the issuance of
$8.4 million of
- 12 -
Common Units. In March 1996, the Partnership received $113.8
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 and
acquisition activity. 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. During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the
Partnership also received $2.7 million of net proceeds from the
issuance of common stock under the General Partner's Direct Stock
Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan.
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 April 29, 1997 of approximately $410 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 March 31, 1997 consists of
notes totaling $506.1 million with a weighted average interest rate
of 7.58% maturing at various dates through 2017. The Partnership
has $245.0 million of unsecured debt and $261.1 million of secured
debt outstanding at March 31, 1997. Scheduled principal
amortization of such debt totaled $759,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997.

maturities of the Partnership's indebtedness at March 31, 1997 (in

The Partnership intends to pay regular quarterly distributions from
net cash provided by operating activities. A quarterly distribution
of $.51 per common unit was declared on April 24, 1997 payable on
May 30, 1997 which represents an annualized distribution of $2.04
per common unit. A quarterly distribution of $.56875 per depositary
preferred unit was declared on April 24, 1997 which is payable on
May 30, 1997.
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,
--------------------
(in thousands) 1997 1996
-------- --------
Net income available for common
units $16,952 $11,577
Add back:
Depreciation and amortization 9,499 6,761
Share of joint venture depreciation
and amortization 523 440
(Earnings) loss from property sales (280) 14
------ ------
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS $26,694 $18,792
====== ======
CASH FLOW PROVIDED BY (USED BY):
Operating activities $28,879 $14,305
Investing activities (41,176) (79,865)
Financing activities 19,853 71,759
The increase in FFO for the three months ended March 31, 1997
compared to the three months ended March 31, 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.
