Our rental operations are conducted through Duke Realty Limited Partnership (“DRLP”). Approximately 91.3% of the common partnership interests of DRLP (“Units”) were owned by us at September 30, 2005. The remaining Units in DRLP are redeemable for shares of our common stock. We conduct Service Operations through Duke Realty Services LLC (“DRS”) and Duke Realty Services Limited Partnership (“DRSLP”), of which we are the sole general partner. We also conduct Service Operations through Duke Construction Limited Partnership (“DCLP”), which is effectively 100% owned by DRLP. The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and our majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”), the terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the Company and those entities owned or controlled by the Company.

 

2.              Industrial Portfolio Sale

 

On September 29, 2005, we completed the sale of a portfolio of 212 real estate properties, consisting of approximately 14.1 million square feet of primarily light distribution and service center properties and approximately 50 acres of undeveloped land (“the Industrial Portfolio Sale”). The purchase price totaled $983 million, of which we received net proceeds of $955 million after the settlement of certain liabilities and transaction costs.  Portions of the proceeds were used to pay down $423 million of outstanding debt on our $500 million unsecured line of credit and the entire outstanding balance on our $400 million term loan.  The operations and gain for 2004 and 2005 associated with the properties in the Industrial Portfolio Sale have been reclassified to discontinued operations. For further discussion, see Note 8.  We declared a one-time special cash dividend of $1.05 per share to be paid to our common shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2005.

$

 

 

We use this line of credit to fund development activities, acquire additional rental properties and provide working capital.

 

The line of credit provides us with an option to obtain borrowings from financial institutions that participate in the line, at rates lower than the stated interest rate, subject to certain restrictions.  At September 30, 2005, there was no outstanding balance on this line of credit.

 

The line of credit contains various financial covenants that require us to meet defined levels of performance, including variable interest indebtedness, consolidated net worth, and debt-to-market capitalization. As of September 30, 2005, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our line of credit.

 

We took the following actions during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 relevant to our indebtedness:

                 In January 2005, we retired our $65.0 million variable-rate term loan.

                 In March 2005, we retired $100.0 million of 6.94% senior unsecured debt that matured.

                 In May 2005, we obtained a $400.0 million unsecured term loan, which was priced at LIBOR + .30%.  This unsecured term loan was paid off in full on September 29, 2005 with proceeds from the Industrial Portfolio Sale.

                 In September 2005, we paid down the outstanding balance of $423.0 million on our $500.0 million unsecured line of credit with proceeds from the Industrial Portfolio Sale.

 

5.     Related Party Transactions

 

We provide property management, leasing, construction and other tenant-related services to unconsolidated companies in which we have equity interests. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, we received management fees of $3.6 million and $3.8 million, leasing fees of $3.4 million and $1.9 million and construction and development fees of $1.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively, from these unconsolidated companies. We recorded these fees at market rates and eliminated our ownership percentages of these fees in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

6.              Net Income Per Common Share

 

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available for common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing the sum of net income available for common shareholders and the minority interest in earnings allocable to Units not owned by us, by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, minority Units outstanding and any dilutive potential common shares for the period.

(1)          One of our joint venture partners in one of our unconsolidated companies has the option to convert a portion of its ownership to common shares.  The effect of this option on earnings per share is dilutive for the third quarter 2005; therefore, conversion to common shares is included in weighted dilutive potential common shares for the quarter.

(2)          We called for the redemption of the Series D preferred shares as of March 16, 2004. Prior to the redemption date, nearly 5.3 million Series D preferred shares were converted into 4.9 million common shares. These shares represent the weighted effect, assuming the Series D preferred shares had been converted on January 1, 2004.

 

7.              Segment Reporting

 

We are engaged in four operating segments, the first three of which consist of the ownership and rental of office, industrial and retail real estate investments (collectively, “Rental Operations”). The fourth segment consists of our build-to-suit for sale operations and various real estate services that we provide such as property management, maintenance, leasing, development and construction management to third-party property owners and joint ventures (“Service Operations”). Our reportable segments offer different products or services and are managed separately because each segment requires different operating strategies and management expertise. During the period covered by this Report, there were no material intersegment sales or transfers.

 

Non-segment revenue consists mainly of equity in earnings of unconsolidated companies. Segment FFO (defined below) information is calculated by subtracting operating expenses attributable to the applicable segment from segment revenues. Non-segment assets consist of corporate assets including cash, deferred financing costs and investments in unconsolidated companies. Interest expense and other non-property specific revenues and expenses are not allocated to individual segments in determining our performance measure.

 

We assess and measure segment operating results based upon an industry performance measure referred to as Funds From Operations (“FFO”), which management believes is a useful indicator of our operating performance. Funds From Operations is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure of an equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”).

 

8



 

FFO is calculated in accordance with the definition that was adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

 

The revenues and FFO for each of the reportable segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and the assets for each of the reportable segments as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, are summarized as follows (in thousands):

In addition to revenues and FFO, we also review our recurring capital expenditures in measuring the performance of our individual Rental Operations segments. These recurring capital expenditures consist of tenant improvements, leasing commissions and building improvements. We review these expenditures to determine the costs associated with re-leasing vacant space and maintaining the condition of our properties. Our recurring capital expenditures by segment are summarized as follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively  (in thousands):

We have classified the operations of 275 buildings as discontinued operations as of September 30, 2005. These 275 buildings consisted of 256 industrial, 16 office and three retail properties. As a result, we classified net income from operations, net of minority interest, of $3.9 million and $3.0 million as net income from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively; and $12.2 million and $15.1 million as net income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We sold 230 of the properties classified as discontinued operations during the first nine months of 2005 and 34 properties classified as discontinued operations during the first nine months of 2004.

 

10



 

The gains on disposal of these properties, net of impairment adjustments and minority interest, of (i) $192.6 million and $13.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and (ii) $200.5 million and $17.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are also reported in discontinued operations. The remaining 11 properties consist of seven properties sold during the last three months of 2004 and four depreciable properties classified as held-for-sale at September 30, 2005.

 

At September 30, 2005, we had classified as held-for-sale three industrial properties and one office property, consisting of  approximately 443,000 square feet. While we have entered into agreements for the sale of these properties, there can be no assurance that such properties actually will be sold.

 

The following table illustrates the operations of the 275 buildings reflected in discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively (in thousands):

We allocate interest expense to discontinued operations as permitted under Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 87-24, Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations, and have included such interest expense in computing net income from discontinued operations. Interest expense allocable to discontinued operations includes interest on any debt on secured properties included in discontinued operations and an allocable share of our consolidated unsecured interest expense for unencumbered properties. The allocation of unsecured interest expense to discontinued operations was based upon the gross book value of the discontinued operations unencumbered population as it related to our entire unencumbered population.

 

11



 

The amount of allocated unsecured interest expense included in discontinued operations was (i) $6.6 million and $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively and (ii) $19.7 million and $18.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, we recorded impairment adjustments of $3.8 million and $425,000, respectively.  The $3.8 million of impairment reflects the write-down in the carrying value to three industrial and three office buildings as well as four parcels of land.  All three of the office and two of the industrial buildings were sold in the second quarter of 2005 along with one parcel of land.  The remaining three parcels of land were sold in the third quarter of 2005.  The $425,000 impairment reflects the write-down of the carrying value of three land parcels that were later sold in 2004.

 

9.              Shareholders’ Equity

 

We periodically access the public equity markets to fund the development and acquisition of additional rental properties or to pay down debt. The proceeds of these offerings are contributed to DRLP in exchange for an additional interest in DRLP.

All series of preferred shares require cumulative distributions and have no stated maturity date (although we may redeem all such preferred shares on or following their respective optional redemption dates).

 

At our option, we may redeem, in whole or part, the Series B, Series I, Series J, Series K and Series L preferred shares described in this section.

 

Pursuant to the $750 million share repurchase plan that was approved by our board of directors, we paid approximately $95.2 million for 2,933,300 of our common shares at an average price of $32.44 per share during the three months ended September 30, 2005.  From time to time, management may repurchase additional common shares pursuant to our share repurchase plan.  The timing and amount of future share repurchases will depend on business and market conditions, as well as legal and regulatory considerations.

 

10.       Financial Instruments

 

We are exposed to capital market risk, such as changes in interest rates. In order to manage the volatility relating to interest rate risk, we may enter into interest rate hedging arrangements from time to time. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We account for derivative instruments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”), as amended by SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities (“SFAS 138”).

In March 2005, we entered into $300.0 million of cash flow hedges through forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge interest rates on $300.0 million of estimated debt offerings in 2006. The swaps qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 138, with any changes in fair value recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”).  The market value of these interest rate swaps is dependant upon existing market interest rates, which change over time.  At September 30, 2005, the estimated liability of these swaps was approximately $9.1 million.  The effective rates of the swaps were higher than interest rates at September 30, 2005.

 

In August 2005, we entered into $300.0 million of cash flow hedges through forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge interest rates on $300.0 million of estimated debt offerings in 2007.  The swaps qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 138, with any changes in fair value recorded in OCI.  At September 30, 2005, the fair value of these swaps was $3.5 million. The effective rates of the swaps were lower than interest rates at September 30, 2005.

 

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity (“SFAS 150”). SFAS 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring as liabilities certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 was effective for all financial instruments created or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise was effective July 1, 2003. We consolidated the operations of one joint venture in our condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2005. This joint venture is partially owned by unaffiliated parties that have noncontrolling interests. SFAS 150 requires the disclosure of the estimated settlement value of these noncontrolling interests. As of September 30, 2005, the estimated settlement value of the noncontrolling interest in this consolidated joint venture was approximately $1.1 million, as compared to the $99,000 receivable reported in our financial statements for this joint venture.

 

11.       Stock Based Compensation

 

For all issuances of stock-based awards prior to 2002, we apply the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for our stock-based compensation. Effective January 1, 2002, we prospectively adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”), and applied SFAS 123 to all awards granted after January 1, 2002.

 

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the fair value method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period (in thousands, except per share data).

12.       Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation. In April 2005, the SEC delayed the effective date on SFAS No. 123 (R) from July 2005 to January 2006. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 123 (R) on our financial position and results of operations.

 

In June 2005, the FASB ratified the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 04-5, Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights “EITF 04-5”.EITF 04-5 is effective for all newly formed limited partnerships after the consensus was ratified and January 2006 for all preexisting limited partnership agreements.  This consensus applies to limited partnerships or similar entities, such as limited liability companies that have governing provisions that are the functional equivalent of a limited partnership. We have evaluated the ownership structure of our existing investments in unconsolidated companies and determined that we do not demonstrate control over any unconsolidated ventures as defined by EITF 04-5.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

The Board of Directors

Duke Realty Corporation:

 

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Duke Realty Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2005, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the related condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, and the related condensed consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

 

We conducted our review in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Duke Realty Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 28, 2005, 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, 2004, 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

 

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements in this quarterly report, including those related to our future operations, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from any predictions of future results, performance or achievements that we express or imply in this report. Some of the risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may affect future results include, among others:

 

                 Changes in general economic and business conditions, including performance of financial markets;

                 Our continued qualification as a real estate investment trust;

                 Heightened competition for tenants and potential decreases in property occupancy;

                 Potential increases in real estate construction costs;

                 Potential changes in the financial markets and interest rates;

                 Continuing ability to favorably raise debt and equity in the capital markets;

                 Inherent risks in the real estate business including tenant defaults, potential liability relating to environmental matters and liquidity of real estate investments; and

                 Other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

This list of risks and uncertainties, however, is not intended to be exhaustive. We have on file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 24, 2003, with additional risk factor information.

 

The words “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek” and similar expressions or statements regarding future periods are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the plans, expectations and results expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements are reasonable, all forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain as they involve substantial risks and uncertainties beyond our control. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict the nature or assess the potential impact of each new factor on our business. Given these uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any of our forward-looking statements for events or circumstances that arise after the statement is made.

 

Business Overview

 

We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that began operations through a related entity in 1972. As of September 30, 2005, we:

 

                 Owned or controlled 683 industrial, office and retail properties (including properties under development), consisting of approximately 102.6 million square feet located in 13 operating platforms; and

                 Owned or controlled approximately 4,500 acres of land with an estimated future development potential of approximately 64 million square feet of industrial, office and retail properties.

 

16



 

We provide the following services for our properties and for certain properties owned by third parties and joint ventures:

 

                 Property leasing;

                 Property management;

                 Construction;

                 Development; and

                 Other tenant-related services.

 

Industrial Portfolio Sale

 

On September 29, 2005, we completed the sale of a portfolio of 212 real estate properties, consisting of approximately 14.1 million square feet of primarily light distribution and service center properties and approximately 50 acres of undeveloped land (the “Industrial Portfolio Sale”). The purchase price totaled $983 million, of which we received net proceeds of $955 million after the settlement of certain liabilities and transaction costs. Portions of the proceeds were used to pay down $423 million of outstanding debt on our $500 million unsecured line of credit and the entire outstanding balance on our $400 million term loan.  The operations and gain for 2004 and 2005 associated with the properties in the Industrial Portfolio Sale have been reclassified to discontinued operations. We declared a one-time special cash dividend of $1.05 per share to be paid to our common shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2005.

 

Key Performance Indicators

 

Our operating results depend primarily upon rental income from our office, industrial and retail properties (“Rental Operations”). The following information highlights the areas of Rental Operations that we consider critical for future revenue growth. All square footage totals and occupancy percentages reflect both wholly-owned properties and properties in joint ventures.

 

Occupancy Analysis: Our ability to maintain occupancy rates is a principal driver of our results of operations. The following table sets forth occupancy information regarding our in-service portfolio of rental properties as of September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively (in thousands, except percentage data):

Lease Renewals: We renewed 78.8% and 74.2% of leases up for renewal in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, totaling 2.7 million and 7.6 million square feet, respectively. This compares to renewals of 71.3% and 72.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, totaling 1.9 million and 6.9 million square feet, respectively. Our lease renewal percentages over the past three years have remained relatively consistent at a 70-75% success rate despite the relatively weak market conditions.

 

The average term of renewals for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, was 5.3 and 4.4 years, respectively, compared to an average term of 3.1 and 3.8 years for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively.

 

Future Development:  Another source of growth in our earnings is the development of additional properties. These properties should provide future earnings growth through Service Operations income upon sale or from Rental Operations growth, as they are placed in service. As of September 30, 2005, we had 6.9 million square feet of property under development with total costs of $480.8 million, which was 34% pre-leased. This compares to 4.3 million square feet with a total cost of $150.1 million, which was 54% pre-leased, at September 30, 2004. The $163.2 million increase in held-for-rental developments is the result of improved market conditions and increased speculative developments. The $167.6 million increase in held-for-sale developments is due to medical building development through our new joint venture with a healthcare facility developer and manager. As of September 30, 2005, we have four medical office projects under development with total costs of $60.7 million. We also began construction on a building in Buffalo, New York with total estimated costs of $85.4 million and a scheduled completion date of August 2007.

Acquisition and Disposition Activity:  Sales proceeds from dispositions of held-for-rental properties for the first nine months of 2005 and 2004 were approximately $1.1 billion and $121.7 million, respectively.  The disposition proceeds during the first nine months 2004 were used to partially fund acquisitions of $263.5 million.  The increase in disposition proceeds is mainly the result of our third quarter Industrial Portfolio Sale. These proceeds were primarily used to reduce short-term floating rate debt and fund acquisitions of $328.7 million.

 

Funds From Operations

 

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure of an equity REIT. FFO is calculated in accordance with the definition that was adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income (loss) determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

 

Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation, among other items, from GAAP net income. Management believes that the use of FFO, combined with the required primary GAAP presentations, has improved the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and made comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management considers FFO to be a useful measure for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance (although FFO should be reviewed in conjunction with net income which remains the primary measure of performance) because, by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization, FFO assists in comparing the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies.

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 to Three Months Ended September 30 2004

 

Rental Income From Continuing Operations

 

Overall, rental income from continuing operations increased from $157.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 to $173.2 million for the same period in 2005. The following table reconciles rental income from continuing operations by reportable segment to our total reported rental income from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively (in thousands):

Each of our three reportable segments that comprise Rental Operations (office, industrial and retail) are within the real estate industry; however, the same economic and industry conditions do not affect each segment in the same manner. The primary causes of the increase in rental income from continuing operations, with specific references to a particular segment when applicable, are summarized below:

                  We acquired nine properties and placed 15 developments in service from October 1, 2004 to September 30, 2005. These acquisitions and developments are the primary factor in the overall $15.7 million increase in rental revenue for the third quarter of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. Acquisitions and developments placed in service in the last three months of 2004 and the first nine months of 2005 provided revenues of $11.3 million in the third quarter of 2005.  Office acquisitions in  our Chicago market accounted for $8.6 million of this increase.

                  Same store revenues for acquisitions and developments placed in service in the third quarter of 2004 increased by $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2005.

                  Lease termination fees totaled $373,000 for the third quarter of 2005 compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2004. The decrease in termination fees continues a downward trend due to improved economic conditions.

                  Our in-service occupancy rate increased from 89.8% at September 30, 2004 to 91.0% at September 30, 2005.

The overall increase in rental expenses and real estate taxes is the result of our increased real estate assets associated with the acquisitions and developments as noted above.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense increased from $28.0 million in the third quarter of 2004 to $31.5 million in the same period of 2005 due to our utilization of a  $400.0 million term loan used to temporarily finance the acquisition of office properties in our Chicago market.  This loan was repaid with proceeds from the Industrial Portfolio Sale.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $48.1 million for the third quarter of 2004 to $61.2 million for the same period in 2005. The following information highlights the significant changes in depreciation and amortization expense:

                  Depreciation expense on building and tenant improvements increased by $9.0 million as a result of increases in our held-for-rental asset base from acquisition and, development activity.

                  Lease commission amortization increased by $4.1 million due to increased leasing activity and the effect of SFAS 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141”) on acquisitions.  SFAS 141 requires the allocation of a portion of a property’s purchase price to intangible assets for leases acquired and in-place at the time of acquisition.  We amortize these assets over the remaining life of the leases.

 

22



 

Service Operations

 

Service Operations primarily consist of our merchant building sales and the leasing, management, construction and development services for joint venture properties and properties owned by third parties. These operations are heavily influenced by the current state of the economy as leasing and management fees are dependent upon occupancy while construction and development services rely on the expansion of business operations. Service Operations earnings increased from $6.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 to $12.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, primarily as a result of the following:

                  Our merchant building development and sales program, whereby a building is developed and then sold, is a significant component of Construction and Development income. During the third quarter of 2005, we sold five such properties for a gain of $5.2 million. During the third quarter of 2004, we sold one such property and recognized a deferred gain on a previous sale for a total gain of $4.3 million.

                  Excluding the gains above, earnings from Service Operations increased from $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2004 to $6.8 million in the same period of 2005. We have experienced increased construction fees on more profitable jobs as a general contractor for third parties during 2005.

 

General and Administrative Expense

 

General and administrative expenses decreased from $6.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 to $5.2 million for the same period in 2005. General and administrative expenses are comprised of two components. The first is direct expenses that are not attributable to specific assets such as legal fees, external audit fees, marketing costs, investor relations expenses and executive compensation and other corporate overhead. The second component is the unallocated overhead costs associated with the operation of our owned properties and Service Operations, including construction, leasing and maintenance operations. Overhead costs not allocated to these operations are charged to general and administrative expenses. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily the result of increased construction and leasing activity that resulted in lower unallocated overhead costs.  A portion of this decrease has been partially offset by an increase in payroll expenses associated with long-term compensation plans and an increase in the number of employees to support our National Development and Construction practice.

 

Other Income and Expenses

 

Earnings from the sale of land and ownership interests in consolidated companies, net of impairment adjustments, are comprised of the following amounts for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively (in thousands):

Gain on land sales is derived from sales of undeveloped land that we owned. In the third quarter of 2005, we sold 11 parcels of land, for total proceeds of $10.9 million as compared to the sale of nine parcels of land for total proceeds of $11.5 million in the third quarter of 2004.

 

23



 

We pursue opportunities to dispose of land in those markets with a high concentration of undeveloped land and in those markets where the land no longer meets our strategic development plans.

 

We recorded impairment charges of $56,000 in the third quarter of 2005 associated with three land parcel sales. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, we recorded $325,000 of impairment charges associated with contracts to sell three land parcels, which were later sold in 2004.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

We have classified the operations of 275 buildings as discontinued operations as of September 30, 2005. These 275 buildings consisted of 256 industrial, 16 office and three retail properties. As a result, we classified net income from operations, net of minority interest, of $3.9 million and $3.0 million as net income from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  We sold 218 of the properties classified as discontinued operations during the third quarter of 2005 and 28 properties classified as discontinued operations during the third quarter of 2004. The gains on disposal of these properties, net of impairment adjustment and minority interest, of $192.6 million and $13.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are also reported in discontinued operations. The remaining 29 properties consist of 13 properties sold in 2004, 12 properties sold in the first and second quarters of 2005 and four depreciable properties classified as held-for-sale at September 30, 2005.

                  Our in-service occupancy rates increased from 89.8% at September 30, 2004 to 91.0% at September 30, 2005.

 

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Companies

 

Equity in earnings increased from $16.5 million for the first nine months of 2004 to $25.0 million for the same period in 2005.  During the second quarter of 2005, one of our joint ventures sold three buildings and our share of the gain was $11.2 million.

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense increased from $81.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $88.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 due to increased debt levels and higher interest rates.  Our long-term unsecured debt increased by a net $85.0 million from August 2004 to September 2005. Our short-term floating rate debt increased as a result of higher credit line usage and a $400.0 million term loan that we used to temporarily finance the acquisition of office properties in the Chicago market in the second quarter of 2005.  The $400.0 million term loan and the $423.0 million outstanding balance under our $500.0 million line of credit were repaid at the end of the third quarter with proceeds from the Industrial Portfolio Sale.  We also assumed approximately $40.7 million of secured debt in conjunction with two acquisitions in August 2004 and June 2005.

 

25



 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $130.9 million for the first nine months of 2004 to $169.7 million for the same period in 2005.  The following information highlights the significant changes in depreciation and amortization expense.

                  Building and tenant improvement depreciation expense increased $28.8 million as a result of increases in our held-for-rental asset base from acquisitions, developments and increased leasing activity.

                  Leasing commission amortization increased by $10.0 million due to our increased leasing activity and the impact of SFAS 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141”) on the amortization of certain assets that we acquired.  SFAS 141 requires the allocation of a portion of a property’s purchase price to intangible assets for leases acquired and in-place at the time of acquisition.  We amortize these assets over the remaining life of the leases.  

 

Service Operations

 

Service Operations primarily consist of our merchant building sales and the leasing, management, construction and development services for joint venture properties and properties owned by third parties. These operations are heavily influenced by the current state of the economy as leasing and management fees are dependent upon occupancy, while construction and development services rely on the expansion of business operations. Service Operations earnings increased from $13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $35.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, primarily as a result of the following:

                  Our merchant building development and sales program, whereby a building is developed and then sold, is a significant component of Construction and Development income. During the first nine months of 2005, we sold eight such properties for a gain of $17.8 million compared to four properties in the first nine months of 2004 for a gain of $7.5 million.

                  Excluding the gains above, earnings from Service Operations increased from $5.6 million in the first nine months of 2004 to $17.3 million in the same period of 2005. We have experienced increased construction fees on more profitable jobs as a general contractor for third parties during 2005.

We recorded $133,000 and $425,000 of impairment charges on land parcels for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. One of the four land parcels related to the $133,000 impairment was sold in the second quarter of 2005 and the other three parcels were sold in the third quarter of 2005. The three parcels associated with the $425,000 impairment charge were later sold in 2004.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

We have classified the operations of 275 buildings as discontinued operations as of September 30, 2005. These 275 buildings consisted of 256 industrial, 16 office and three retail properties. As a result, we classified net income from operations, net of minority interest, of $12.2 million and $15.1 million as net income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We sold 230 of the properties classified as discontinued operations during the first nine months of 2005 and 34 properties classified as discontinued operations during the first nine months of 2004.  The gains on disposal of these properties, net of impairment adjustments and minority interest, of $200.5 million and $17.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are also reported in discontinued operations. The remaining 11 properties consist of seven properties sold during the last three months of 2004 and four depreciable properties classified as held-for-sale at September 30, 2005.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Sources of Liquidity

 

We expect to be able to continue meeting our short-term liquidity requirements over the next 12 months, such as the payment of quarterly or special dividends and distributions and recurring capital expenditures on our current real estate assets, primarily through the following:

 

                  working capital; and

                  net cash provided by operating activities.

 

Although we historically have not used any other sources of funds to pay for recurring capital expenditures on our current real estate investments, we may rely on the temporary use of borrowings or property disposition proceeds to fund such expenditures during periods of high leasing volume.  We expect to meet long-term liquidity requirements, such as scheduled mortgage debt maturities, refinancing of long-term debt, preferred share redemptions, the retirement of unsecured notes and amounts outstanding under the unsecured credit facility, property acquisitions, financing of development activities and other non-recurring capital improvements, primarily through the following sources:

            issuance of additional unsecured notes;

            issuance of additional preferred shares;

            undistributed cash provided by operating activities, if any; and

            proceeds received from real estate dispositions. 

 

Rental Operations

We believe that our principal source of liquidity, cash flows from Rental Operations, provides a stable source of cash to fund operational expenses. We believe that this cash-based revenue stream is substantially aligned with revenue recognition (except for periodic straight-line rental income accruals and amortization of above or below market rents) as cash receipts from the leasing of rental properties are generally received in advance of or shortly following the actual revenue recognition.

 

27



 

We are subject to risks of decreased occupancy through market conditions as well as tenant defaults and bankruptcies, and potential reduction in rental rates upon renewal or re-letting of properties, which would result in reduced cash flow from operations. However, we believe that these risks are mitigated by our strong market presence in most of our locations and the fact that we perform in-house credit review and analysis on major tenants and all significant leases before they are executed.

 

Credit Facilities

We had one unsecured line of credit available at September 30, 2005, summarized as follows (in thousands):

LIBOR + .60

$

 

 

We use this line of credit to fund development activities, acquire additional rental properties and provide working capital.

 

The line of credit provides us with an option to obtain borrowings from financial institutions that participate in the line, at rates lower than the stated interest rate, subject to certain restrictions.  At September 30, 2005, there was no outstanding balance on this line of credit.

 

The line of credit contains various financial covenants that require us to meet defined levels of performance, including variable interest indebtedness, consolidated net worth, and debt-to-market capitalization.  As of September 30, 2005, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our line of credit.

 

Debt and Equity Securities

 

At September 30, 2005, we had on file with the SEC an  effective shelf registration statement that permits us to sell up to an additional $795 million of unsecured debt securities and an additional $350.7 million of common and preferred stock. From time to time, we expect to issue additional securities under these registration statements to fund the development and acquisition of additional rental properties and to fund the repayment of the credit facilities and other long-term debt upon maturity.

 

The indenture governing our unsecured notes also requires us to comply with financial ratios and other covenants regarding our operations. As of September 30, 2005, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

 

Sale of Real Estate Assets

 

We utilize sales of real estate assets as an additional source of liquidity. We pursue opportunities to sell real estate assets at favorable prices to capture value created by us as well as to improve the overall quality of our portfolio by recycling sale proceeds into new properties with greater value creation opportunities.

Uses of Liquidity

 

Our principal uses of liquidity include the following:

 

                 Property investments;

                 Recurring leasing/capital costs;

                 Dividends and distributions to shareholders and unitholders;

                 Long-term debt maturities; and

                 Other contractual obligations.

 

Property Investment

We evaluate development and acquisition opportunities based upon market outlook, supply and long-term growth potential.

 

Recurring Expenditures

One of our principal uses of our liquidity is to fund the development, acquisition and recurring leasing/capital expenditures of our real estate investments.

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities represents the cash necessary to meet normal operational requirements of our rental operations and merchant building activities. The receipt of rental income from rental operations continues to provide the primary source of our revenues and operating cash flows. In addition, we develop buildings with the intent to sell them, which provides another significant source of operating cash flow activity.

 

                  During the period ended September 30, 2005, we incurred merchant building development costs of $58.9 million, compared to $27.3 million for the period ended September 30, 2004. The difference is reflective of the increased activity in our held-for-sale pipeline. The pipeline of held-for-sale projects under construction as of September 30, 2005, has anticipated costs of $202.7 million. In addition to the development costs noted above, we also acquired a building for $6.0 million during the first quarter of 2005 on which we made improvements of approximately $7.5 million and sold in June 2005 for $20.0 million.

                  We sold nine merchant buildings in the first nine months of 2005 compared to four sales of merchant buildings for the same period in 2004, recognizing after tax gains of $17.5 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

 

Investing Activities

Investing activities represents one of the primary uses of our funds. Development and acquisition activities typically generate additional rental revenues and provide cash flows for operational requirements. Highlights of significant cash uses are as follows:

                  Sales of land and depreciated property provided $1.1 billion in net proceeds for the period ended September 30, 2005, compared to $147.4 million for the same period in 2004.  The Industrial Portfolio Sale provided $955 million of proceeds during the quarter.  We continue to dispose of non-strategic and older properties as part of our capital recycling program to fund acquisitions and new developments while improving the overall quality of our investment portfolio.

                  Development costs totaled $130.8 million for the period September 30, 2005, compared to $97.8 million for the same period in 2004.

                  During the first nine months of 2005, we acquired $285.3 million of real estate, compared to $204.4 million for the same period in 2004. The largest of the 2005 acquisitions was a five-building office complex in our Chicago market for $257.0 million.

Financing Activities

The following significant items highlight fluctuations in net cash provided by financing activities:

                  In January 2005, we retired a $65.0 million variable-rate term loan.

                  In March 2005, we retired $100.0 million of 6.94% senior unsecured debt that matured in March 2005.

                  In May 2005, we obtained a $400.0 million term loan. The proceeds from this term loan were used to finance the property acquisitions noted above and to pay down our unsecured debt obligations.  The loan was paid off in September 2005 with proceeds from the Industrial Portfolio Sale.

                  In September 2005, we used proceeds from the Industrial Portfolio Sale to pay off the outstanding balance of $423.0 million on our $500.0 million unsecured line of credit, which had no outstanding balance at September 30, 2005.

                  In September 2005, we retired $100.0 million of 7.48% corporate unsecured debt that matured in September 2005.

                  Throughout the third quarter of 2005, we repurchased and retired $95.2 million of our common shares.

 

Financial Instruments

We are exposed to capital market risk, such as changes in interest rates. In order to manage the volatility relating to interest rate risk, we may enter into interest rate hedging arrangements from time to time. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We account for derivative instruments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”), as amended by SFAS No. 138, Accounting for certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities (“SFAS 138”).

 

In March 2005, we entered into $300.0 million of cash flow hedges through forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge interest rates on $300.0 million of estimated debt offerings in 2006. The swaps qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 138, with any changes in fair value recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”).  The market value of these interest rate swaps is dependent upon existing market interest rates, which change over time.  At September 30, 2005, the estimated liability of these swaps was approximately $9.1 million.  The effective rates of the swaps were higher than interest rates at September 30, 2005.

 

In August 2005, we entered into $300.0 million of cash flow hedges through forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge interest rates on $300.0 million of estimated debt offerings in 2007.  The swaps qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 138, with any changes in fair value recorded in OCI.  At September 30, 2005, the fair value of these swaps was an asset of $3.5 million. The effective rates of the swaps were lower than interest rates at September 30, 2005.

 

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity (“SFAS 150”). SFAS 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring as liabilities certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 was effective for all financial instruments created or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise was effective July 1, 2003. We consolidated the operations of one joint venture in our condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2005. This joint venture is partially owned by unaffiliated parties that have noncontrolling interests. SFAS 150 requires the disclosure of the estimated settlement value of these noncontrolling interests. As of September 30, 2005, the estimated settlement value of the noncontrolling interest in this consolidated joint venture was approximately $1.1 million, as compared to the $99,000 receivable reported in our financial statements for this joint venture.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation. In April 2005, the SEC delayed the effective date on SFAS No. 123 (R) from July 2005 to January 2006. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 123 (R) on our financial position and results of operations.

 

In June 2005, the FASB ratified the consensus reached in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 04-5, Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights (“EITF 04-5”). EITF 04-5 is effective for all newly formed limited partnerships after the consensus was ratified and January 2006 for all existing limited partnership agreements.  This consensus applies to limited partnerships or similar entities, such as limited liability companies that have governing provisions that are the functional equivalent of a limited partnership. We have evaluated the ownership structure of our existing investments in unconsolidated companies and determined that we do not demonstrate control over any unconsolidated ventures as defined by EITF 04-5.

 

Investments in Unconsolidated Companies

 

We analyze our investments in joint ventures under FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46(R)”), to determine if the joint venture is a variable interest entity and would require consolidation. To the extent that our joint ventures do not qualify as variable interest entities, we further assess under the guidelines of Statement of Position 78-9, Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures; Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements and FASB No. 94, Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries, to determine if the venture should be consolidated.

 

In 2004, we announced a 50/50 joint venture agreement with a medical office developer to develop healthcare facilities. Under the terms of the agreement, we will provide the project financing and construction services while our partner will provide the business development, leasing and property management of the co-developed properties. We evaluated this partnership under the guidelines of FIN 46(R). joint venture qualifies as a variable interest entity subject to consolidation. We are the primary beneficiary as determined under FIN 46(R) and fully consolidate the joint venture.

 

At September 30, 2005, there were three properties under development with the joint venture. These properties total 258,601 square feet and have an aggregate construction in-process balance of over $7.5 million that is consolidated into our balance sheet. The joint venture expects to sell the properties upon completion.

 

We have equity interests in unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures that own and operate rental properties and hold land for development. The equity method of accounting is used for these investments in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies. As a result, the assets and liabilities of these joint ventures are not included on our balance sheet. Our investment in unconsolidated companies represents less than 5% of our total assets as of September 30, 2005.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

 

We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of our line of credit and long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund capital expenditures and expansion of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. 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 our objectives, we borrow primarily at fixed rates and may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps and treasury locks in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We do not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. For a discussion of the market risk with respect to our outstanding cash flow hedges, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Instruments.”

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

(a)           Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures are further designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in all material respects.

 

 

(b)  Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2005, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we are parties to a variety of legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of our businesses. While these matters generally are covered by insurance, there is no assurance that our insurance will cover any particular proceeding or claim. We presently believe that all of these proceedings to which we were subject as of September 30, 2005, taken as a whole, will not have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, business financial condition or results of operations.

 

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

(c) Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

From time to time, we repurchase our common shares under a $750 million share repurchase program that initially was approved by the board of directors and publicly announced in October 2001 (the “Repurchase Program”).   In July 2005, the Board of Directors authorized management to purchase up to $750 million of common shares pursuant to this plan. Under the Repurchase Program, we also execute share repurchases on an ongoing basis associated with certain employee elections under our compensation and benefit programs.
