See accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - 5 - DUKE-WEEKS 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-Weeks 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 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 86.9% of the Partnership at June 30, 2000. 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 units 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. - 6 - 2. LINES OF CREDIT The Partnership has the following lines of credit available: Borrowing Outstanding Capacity Maturity Interest at June 30, 2000 Description (in 000's) Date Rate (in 000's) ------------------------ ---------- ---------- ----------- ---------------- Unsecured Line of Credit $450,000 April 2001 LIBOR + .70% $428,000 Unsecured Line of Credit $300,000 June 2001 LIBOR + .90% $ 35,000 Secured Line of Credit $150,000 January 2003 LIBOR + 1.05% $ 40,228 The lines of credit are used to fund development and acquisition of additional rental properties and to provide working capital. The $450 million line of credit allows the Partnership an option to obtain borrowings from the financial institutions that participate in the line of credit at rates lower than the stated interest rate, subject to certain restrictions. Amounts outstanding on the line of credit at June 30, 2000, are at LIBOR + .57 to .70%. 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 $993,000 and $1.4 million for such services for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, 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. At June 30, 2000, other assets included outstanding loan advances totaling $2.4 million due from a related party, under a $5.7 million demand loan agreement. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.10% and is secured by real estate assets held by the related entity, for which the Partnership has arrangements to acquire in future periods. Interest earned under the agreement and included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations totaled $121,764 in the six months ended June 30, 2000. 4. NET INCOME PER COMMON UNIT Basic net income per common unit is computed by dividing net income available for common unitholders 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 unitholders 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 common unit for the three and six months ended June 30: - 7 -
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, ------------------ ---------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- ---- Net income available for common unitholders $ 52,402 $32,702 $108,695 $63,631 ======= ====== ======= ====== Weighted average number of common units outstanding 145,719 97,894 145,422 97,548 Dilutive units for long-term compensation plans 1,462 961 1,332 929 ======= ====== ======= ====== Weighted average number of common units and dilutive potential common units 147,181 98,855 146,754 98,477 ======= ====== ======= ======
The Preferred D Series Convertible equity and the Series G preferred limited partner units were anti-dilutive at June 30, 2000; therefore, no conversion to common units is included in weighted dilutive potential common units outstanding. 5. SEGMENT REPORTING The Partnership is engaged in four operating segments; the ownership and rental of office, industrial and retail real estate investments and the providing of various real estate services such as property management, maintenance, leasing, development and construction management to third-party property owners ("Service Operations"). The Partnership's reportable segments offer different products or services and are managed separately because each requires different operating strategies and management expertise. There are no material intersegment sales or transfers. Non-segment revenue to reconcile to total revenue consists mainly of equity in earnings of unconsolidated companies. Non-segment assets to reconcile to total assets consist of corporate assets including cash, deferred financing costs and investments in unconsolidated companies. The Partnership assesses and measures segment operating results based on industry performance measures referred to as Funds From Operations ("FFO"). The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts defines FFO as net income or loss, excluding gains or losses from debt restructuring and sales of depreciated operating property, plus operating property depreciation and amortization and adjustments for minority interest and unconsolidated companies on the same basis. FFO is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities as measured by generally accepted accounting principles, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Interest expense and other non-property specific revenues and expenses are not allocated to individual segments in determining the Partnership's performance measure. The revenues and FFO for each of the reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, and the assets for each of the reportable segments as of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, are summarized as follows: - 8 -

REAL ESTATE ASSETS HELD FOR SALE In order to redeploy capital, the Partnership has an active sales program through which it is continually pursuing favorable opportunities to dispose of real estate assets that no longer meet long-term investment objectives of the Partnership. At June 30, 2000, the Partnership had 36 industrial, 10 office and one retail property comprising approximately 6.6 million square feet held for sale. Of these properties, five build-to-suit office and three build-to-suit industrial properties were under development at June 30, 2000. Net operating income (defined as total property revenues, less property expenses, which include real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other expenses) of the properties held for sale for the six months ended June 30, 2000, was approximately $15.1 million. Net book value of the properties held for sale at June 30, 2000, is approximately $318.7 million. There can be no assurances that such properties will be sold. - 9 - 7. PARTNERS' EQUITY The following series of preferred equity are outstanding as of June 30, 2000 (in thousands, except percentages):
Shares Dividend Redemption Liquidation Description Outstdg Rate Date Preference Convertible ------------------ -------- -------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Preferred A Series 300 9.100% 08/31/2001 $ 75,000 No Preferred B Series 300 7.990% 09/30/2007 150,000 No Preferred D Series 539 7.375% 12/31/2003 134,721 Yes Preferred E Series 400 8.250% 01/20/2004 100,000 No Preferred F Series 600 8.000% 10/10/2002 150,000 No
All series of preferred equity require cumulative distributions, have no stated maturity date, and the redemption price of each series may only be paid from the proceeds of other capital contributions from the General Partner, which may include other classes or series of preferred equity. The Preferred Series D equity is convertible at a conversion rate of 9.3677 common units for each preferred equity outstanding. The dividend rate on the Preferred B Series equity increases to 9.99% after September 12, 2012. 8. MERGER WITH WEEKS CORPORATION In July 1999, the General Partner and Weeks Corporation ("Weeks"), approved a merger transaction whereby Weeks, a self-administered, self-managed geographically focused Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") which operated primarily in the southeastern United States and its consolidated subsidiary, Weeks Realty L.P. ("Weeks Operating Partnership"), were merged with and into the General Partner and its consolidated subsidiary, Duke Realty Limited Partnership ("Duke Operating Partnership"). The total purchase price of Weeks and Weeks Operating Partnership aggregated approximately $1.9 billion, which included the assumption of the outstanding debt and liabilities of Weeks Operating Partnership of approximately $775 million. The following summarized pro forma unaudited information represents the combined historical operating results of Weeks Operating Partnership and Duke Operating Partnership with the appropriate purchase accounting adjustments, assuming the merger had occurred on January 1, 1999. The pro forma financial information presented is not necessarily indicative of what the Partnership's actual operating results would have been had Weeks Operating Partnership and Duke Operating Partnership constituted a single entity during such periods (in thousands, except per unit amounts): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, ------------------- ---------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 ----- ---- ---- ---- (Actual) (Pro Forma) (Actual) (Pro Forma) Rental income $174,182 $150,657 $346,092 $294,931 ======= ======= ======= ======= Net income available for common unitholders $ 52,402 $ 44,023 $108,695 $ 88,618 ======= ======= ======= ======= Weighted average common units outstanding: Basic 145,719 135,423 145,422 134,979 ======= ======= ======= ======= Diluted 147,181 136,704 146,754 136,157 ======= ======= ======= ======= Net income per common unit: Basic $ 0.36 $ 0.33 $ 0.75 $ 0.66 ======= ====== ======= ======= Diluted $ 0.36 $ 0.32 $ 0.74 $ 0.65 ======= ====== ======= ======= - 10 - 9. OTHER MATTERS ACCOUNTING CHANGES In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and for Hedging Activities," effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The statement will require the Partnership 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, then depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value will either be offset through earnings, against the change in fair value of hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in income. The ineffective portion of a hedge's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in income. Based on the information available at this time, the adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership's financial statements.

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-Weeks Realty Limited Partnership and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999, 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 25, 2000, 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, 1999 is fairly presented, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived. KPMG LLP Indianapolis, Indiana July 26, 2000 - 12 - 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 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. The Partnership expects to continue to maintain or increase its overall occupancy levels and also expects to be able to maintain rental rates as leases are renewed or new leases are executed. This combination 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. The Partnership tracks Same Property performance which compares those properties that were in-service for all of a calendar two year period. The net operating income from the same property portfolio increased 6.13% for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to the six months ended June 30, 1999. The following table sets forth information regarding the Partnership's in-service portfolio of rental properties as of June 30, 2000 and 1999 (in thousands, except percentages):

("Weeks Operating Partnership"), were merged with and into the General Partner and its consolidated subsidiary, Duke Realty Limited Partnership ("Duke Operating Partnership"). The total purchase price of Weeks and Weeks Operating Partnership aggregated approximately $1.9 billion, which included the assumption of the outstanding debt and liabilities of Weeks Operating Partnership of approximately $775 million. - 14 - The following summarized pro forma unaudited information represents the combined historical operating results of Weeks Operating Partnership and Duke Operating Partnership with the appropriate purchase accounting adjustments, assuming the merger had occurred on January 1, 1999.

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rental Operations ----------------- Rental Operations revenue increased to $178.4 million from $107.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999. This increase is primarily due to the increase in the number of in-service properties during the respective periods. As of June 30, 2000, the Partnership had 886 properties in service compared to 486 properties at June 30, 1999. The following summary of the Partnership's acquisition and development activity since January 1, 1999: - 15 - Square Buildings Feet --------- ------ Properties owned as of: January 1, 1999 453 52,028 Weeks merger 335 28,569 Acquisitions 30 2,867 Developments placed in service 68 10,903 Dispositions (21) (1,890) Building remeasurements - 25 --- ------ December 31, 1999 865 92,502 Acquisitions 2 169 Developments placed in service 38 6,587 Dispositions (19) (3,434) Building remeasurements - 7 --- ------ June 30, 2000 886 95,831 === ====== Rental property, real estate tax and depreciation and amortization expenses increased for the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999 due to the increase in the number of in-service properties during the respective periods. The $19.1 million increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to higher outstanding debt balances associated with the financing of the Partnership's investment activities. The increased balances include $450 million of unsecured debt issued in 1999, the assumption of $185 million of secured debt and $287 million of unsecured debt in the merger with Weeks Corporation in July 1999, and increased borrowings on the Partnership's lines of credit. These higher borrowing costs were partially offset by the capitalization of interest on increased property development activities. As a result of the above-mentioned items, earnings from Rental Operations increased $15.2 million from $39.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999, to $55.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Service Operations ------------------ Service Operations revenues increased by $16.1 million from $8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999, to $25.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, primarily as a result of increases in construction and development income from increased third party construction. Service Operations operating expenses increased from $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999, to $14.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, primarily due to increases in payroll and maintenance expenses due to the overall growth of the Partnership and the increased portfolio of buildings associated with this growth. As a result, earnings from Service Operations increased from $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999, to $11.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. - 16 - Other Income and Expenses ------------------------- Interest income increased from $546,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999, to $2.3 million for the same period in 2000 primarily through earnings on funds deposited in tax deferred exchange escrows of $1.6 million. The Partnership has a disposition strategy to pursue favorable opportunities to dispose of real estate assets that no longer meet long-term investment objectives of the Partnership, which resulted in net sales proceeds of $50.5 million and a net gain of $3.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2000. In conjunction with this disposition strategy, included in net real estate investments are 47 buildings with a net book value of $318.7 million which were classified as held for sale by the Partnership at June 30, 2000. The Partnership expects to complete these and other dispositions and use the proceeds to fund future investments in real estate assets. Net Income Available for Common Unitholders ------------------------------------------- Net income available for common unitholders for the three months ended June 30, 2000, was $52.4 million compared to net income available for common unitholders of $32.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. This increase results primarily from the operating result fluctuations in rental and service operations explained above. COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rental Operations ----------------- Rental Operations revenue increased to $353.1 million from $209.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999. This increase is primarily due to the increase in the number of in-service properties during the respective periods. As of June 30, 2000, the Partnership had 886 properties in service compared to 486 properties at June 30, 1999. The following summary of the Partnership's acquisition and development activity since January 1, 1999: Square Buildings Feet --------- ------ Properties owned as of: January 1, 1999 453 52,028 Weeks merger 335 28,569 Acquisitions 30 2,867 Developments placed in service 68 10,903 Dispositions (21) (1,890) Building remeasurements - 25 --- ------ December 31, 1999 865 92,502 Acquisitions 2 169 Developments placed in service 38 6,587 Dispositions (19) (3,434) Building remeasurements - 7 --- ------ June 30, 2000 886 95,831 === ====== - 17 - Rental property, real estate tax and depreciation and amortization expenses increased for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999 due to the increase in the number of in- service properties during the respective periods. The $35.8 million increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to higher outstanding debt balances associated with the financing of the Partnership's investment activities. The increased balances include $450 million of unsecured debt issued in 1999, the assumption of $185 million of secured debt and $287 million of unsecured debt in the merger with Weeks Corporation in July 1999, and increased borrowings on the Partnership's lines of credit. These higher borrowing costs were partially offset by the capitalization of interest on increased property development activities. As a result of the above-mentioned items, earnings from Rental Operations increased $34.0 million from $76.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, to $110.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Service Operations ------------------ Service Operations revenues increased by $17.9 million from $21.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, to $39.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, primarily as a result of increases in construction and development income from increased third party construction. Service Operations operating expenses increased from $12.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, to $22.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, primarily due to increases in payroll and maintenance expenses due to the overall growth of the Partnership and the increased portfolio of buildings associated with this growth. As a result, earnings from Service Operations increased from $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, to $16.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Other Income and Expenses ------------------------- Interest income increased from $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, to $3.9 million for the same period in 2000 primarily through earnings on funds deposited in tax deferred exchange escrows of $2.5 million. The Partnership has a disposition strategy to pursue favorable opportunities to dispose of real estate assets that no longer meet long-term investment objectives of the Partnership, which resulted in net sales proceeds of $214.3 million and a net gain of $18.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2000. - 18 - Net Income Available for Common Unitholders ------------------------------------------- Net income available for common unitholders for the six months ended June 30, 2000, was $108.7 million compared to net income available for common unitholders of $63.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. 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 $174.6 million and $82.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, 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. Net cash used by investing activities totaling $258.5 million and $323.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, 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. Net cash provided by financing activities totaling $106.8 million and $401.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, is comprised of debt and equity issuances, net of distributions to unitholders and minority interests and repayments of outstanding indebtedness. In the first six months of 2000, the Partnership received $13.9 million of net proceeds from the General Partner's issuance of common shares. The Partnership used the net proceeds to reduce amounts outstanding under the Partnership's lines of credit and to fund the development and acquisition of additional rental properties. In the first six months of 1999, the Partnership received $37.9 million of net proceeds from the General Partner's issuance of common shares and $96.5 million of net proceeds from the General Partner's preferred stock offering. The Partnership also issued $300.0 million of unsecured debt. The Partnership used the net proceeds to reduce amounts outstanding under the Partnership's lines of credit and to fund the development and acquisition of additional rental properties. The Partnership has the following lines of credit available: Borrowing Outstanding Capacity Maturity Interest at June 30, 2000 Description (in 000's) Date Rate (in 000's) ------------------------ ---------- ---------- ----------- --------------- Unsecured Line of Credit $450,000 April 2001 LIBOR + .70% $428,000 Unsecured Line of Credit $300,000 June 2001 LIBOR + .90% $ 35,000 Secured Line of Credit $150,000 January 2003 LIBOR + 1.05% $ 40,228 The lines of credit are used to fund development and acquisition of additional rental properties and to provide working capital. The $450 million line of credit allows the Partnership an option to obtain borrowings from the financial institutions that participate in the line of credit at rates lower than the stated interest rate, subject to certain restrictions. Amounts outstanding on the line of credit at June 30, 2000 are at LIBOR + .57% to .70%. - 19 - 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 June 30, 2000, of approximately $792.9 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 General Partner and the Partnership also plan to file additional shelf registrations as necessary. The total debt outstanding at June 30, 2000, consists of notes totaling approximately $2.4 billion with a weighted average interest rate of 7.33% maturing at various dates through 2028. The Partnership has $1.8 billion of unsecured debt and $560.0 million of secured debt outstanding at June 30, 2000. Scheduled principal amortization of such debt totaled $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Following is a summary of the scheduled future amortization and maturities of the Partnership's indebtedness at June 30, 2000 (in thousands):

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 depreciated operating property, plus operating depreciation and amortization, and adjustments for minority interest and unconsolidated companies (adjustments for minority interest and unconsolidated companies 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):
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, --------------------------- ------------------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- ---- Net income available for common units $52,402 $ 32,702 $108,695 $ 63,631 Add back: Depreciation and amortization 39,766 20,935 79,545 41,389 Share of joint venture adjustments 1,633 1,241 3,050 2,756 Earnings from depreciated operating property sales (3,108) (1,084) (14,178) (3,398) ------ ------- ------- ------- FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS $90,693 $ 53,794 $177,112 $104,378 ====== ======= ======= ======= CASH FLOW PROVIDED BY (USED BY): Operating activities $97,171 $ 50,502 $174,565 $ 82,570 Investing activities (98,142) (155,907) (258,468) (322,976) Financing activities 4,518 238,520 106,792 401,876
- 20 - The increase in FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, 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.
