These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

 

The Company

 

The Company’s rental operations are conducted through Duke Realty Limited Partnership (“DRLP”), an entity in which the Company owns 90.0% at September 30, 2002. The remaining interests in DRLP are redeemable for shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company conducts Service Operations through Duke Realty Services Limited Partnership (“DRSLP”), in which the Company is the sole general partner. The Company also conducts Service Operations through Duke Construction Limited Partnership (“DCLP”), which is effectively 100% owned by DRLP. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries.

The $500 million line of credit provides the Company with 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 unsecured line of credit at September 30, 2002, are at LIBOR + .65% (2.47% at September 30, 2002).

3.     Related Party Transactions

 

The Company provides management, maintenance, leasing, construction, and other tenant-related services to properties in which certain of its executive officers have ownership interests. The Company has an option to acquire these executive officers’ interest in these properties (the “Option Properties”). The Company received fees totaling approximately $1.1 million and $1.3 million for services provided to the Option Properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company believes that the fees charged by the Company for such services are equivalent to those charged to third-party owners for similar services.

 

The Company has other related party transactions that are insignificant and that include terms that are considered by the Company to be at arm’s-length and equal to those negotiated with unaffiliated parties.

 

4.     Net Income Per Common Share

 

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available for common shareholders 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 minority interest in earnings of unitholders, by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and units outstanding and dilutive potential common shares for the period.

 

The following table reconciles the components of basic and diluted net income per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30 (in thousands):

The Series D Convertible Preferred stock and the Series G preferred limited partner units were anti-dilutive for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and the nine months ended September 30, 2001; therefore, no conversion to common shares is included in weighted dilutive potential common shares. The Series D Convertible Preferred stock and the Series G Convertible Preferred limited partner units were dilutive for the three months ended September 30, 2001; therefore, conversion to common shares is included in weighted dilutive potential common shares. The dilutive effect is the result of net income for the three months ended September 30, 2001, being significantly higher due to the gain on depreciated property sales for the quarter.

was anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002; therefore no conversion to common shares is included in weighted dilutive potential common shares. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, the effect of the option on earnings per share was dilutive. Therefore, additional equity in earnings was included in diluted net income available for common shareholders and conversion to common shares was included in weighted dilutive potential common shares.

 

5.              Segment Reporting

 

The Company is engaged in four operating segments; the ownership and rental of office, industrial and retail real estate investments (collectively, “Rental Operations”), 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 Company’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 consists mainly of equity in earnings of unconsolidated companies. Non-segment assets consist of corporate assets including cash, deferred financing costs and investments in unconsolidated companies.

 

The Company assesses and measures segment operating results based upon an industry performance measure 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 Company’s performance measure.

 

The revenues and FFO for each of the reportable segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and the assets for each of the reportable segments as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, are summarized as follows (in thousands):

6.              Real Estate Assets Held for Sale

 

At September 30, 2002, the Company had two office properties and four retail properties comprising a total of approximately 494,000 square feet classified as held for sale. Of these properties, three build-to-suit retail properties and one build-to-suit office property were under development at September 30, 2002. 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 was $1.2 million and $585,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Net book value of the properties was $28.7 million at September 30, 2002. There can be no assurances that such properties will be sold.

 

7.              Discontinued Operations

 

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets”(“SFAS 144”), on January 1, 2002. SFAS 144 requires the Company to report in discontinued operations the results of operations of a property which has either been disposed or is classified as held for sale, unless certain conditions are met.

 

9



 

The Company has classified two buildings as discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS 144. These two buildings were sold in 2002, but were not identified as held for sale prior to the adoption of SFAS 144. As a result, the Company classified net income, net of minority interest, of $833,000 and $1.2 million as net income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. In addition, the Company classified the gain on the sale of these buildings, net of minority interest, of $2.4 million as gain on sale of discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The properties identified as held for sale in Footnote 6 are not classified as discontinued operations as they were either identified as held for sale prior to the adoption of SFAS 144 or they meet certain conditions of held for sale properties that exclude them from SFAS 144.

 

8.              Shareholders’ Equity

 

The Company periodically accesses the public equity markets to fund the development and acquisition of additional rental properties. The proceeds of these offerings are contributed to DRLP in exchange for additional interests in DRLP. The following series of preferred stock are outstanding as of September 30, 2002 (in thousands, except percentages):

All series of preferred shares require cumulative distributions, have no stated maturity date (although the Company may redeem them on or following their initial optional redemption dates), and the redemption price of each series may only be paid from the proceeds of other capital shares of the Company, which may include other classes or series of preferred shares.

 

The Series D Preferred shares are convertible at a conversion rate of 9.3677 common shares for each preferred share outstanding.

 

The dividend rate on the Series B Preferred shares increases to 9.99% after September 12, 2012. The Company repurchased 355,000 shares of the Series B Preferred shares in September 2002. The repurchase transaction was initiated by a group of Series B Preferred shareholders who voluntarily approached the Company with regards to a buyback of these shares.

 

All of the Series F Preferred shares were redeemed on October 10, 2002.

 

9.              Other Matters

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain 2001 balances have been reclassified to conform to 2002 presentation.

 

10.       Derivative Instruments

 

The Company has one interest rate swap contract that does not meet the criteria of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) to qualify for hedge accounting. SFAS 133 requires that unrealized gains and losses on derivatives not qualifying as hedge accounting be recognized currently in earnings.

 

10



 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recognized income of $877,000 from this interest rate swap contract compared to an expense of $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

 

11.       Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company elected to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” effective January 1, 2002. As a result, the Company will expense stock options based upon the estimated fair value of the options at the date of grant. Additionally, the Company will expense the discount given to employees under the employee stock purchase plan. The Company recorded expense of $325,000 for the first nine months of 2002 related to stock compensation from this accounting change.

 

12.       Investment in Unconsolidated Companies

 

The Company has equity interests ranging from 10-50% 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 the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies. Any difference between the carrying amount of these investments and the underlying equity in net assets is amortized to equity in earnings of unconsolidated companies over the depreciable life of the property, generally 40 years. The cost method of accounting is used for non-majority owned joint ventures over which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence. The difference between the cost and equity methods for such ventures does not significantly affect the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

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, 2002, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and the related condensed consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of Duke Realty Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001, 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 January 30, 2002, except as to Note 15, which is as of October 9, 2002, 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, 2001 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

 

Business Overview

 

Certain statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” including those related to the Company’s 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. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and other important factors include, among others: general economic and business conditions; continued qualification as a real estate investment trust; competition for tenants; increases in real estate construction costs; changes in interest rates; accessibility of debt and equity capital markets and other risks inherent in the real estate business including tenant defaults, potential liability relating to environmental matters and liquidity of real estate investments. The words “believe,” “estimate,” “expect” and similar expressions or statements regarding future periods are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain as they involve substantial risks and uncertainties beyond the Company’s control. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements for events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all such factors. Further, the Company cannot assess the impact of each such factor on its business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

 

The Company’s operating results depend primarily upon income from the Rental Operations of its industrial, office and retail properties located in its primary markets. This rental income is substantially influenced by the supply and demand for the Company’s rental space in its primary markets. In addition, the Company’s growth is dependent upon its ability to increase and maintain occupancy rates and increase rental rates of its in-service portfolio. The Company’s strategy for growth also includes developing and acquiring additional rental properties in its primary markets.

 

The following highlights the areas of Rental Operations that the Company considers critical for future revenue growth (all square footage totals and occupancy percentages reflect 100% of both wholly-owned properties and properties in joint ventures that the Company has ownership interests):

 

Same Property Performance: The Company tracks Same Property performance, which compares those properties that were in-service for all reported portions of a two-year period. The net operating income from the same property portfolio increased .8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

 

Occupancy Analysis: The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s in-service portfolio of rental properties as of September 30, 2002 and 2001 (square feet, in thousands):

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 to Three Months Ended September 30, 2001

 

Rental Operations

 

Rental Operations revenue increased to $182.2 million from $177.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001. Rental Operations revenue is comprised of rental income from held for rental properties (“Rental Income”) and equity in earnings from unconsolidated companies (“Equity in Earnings”). Rental Income increased from $170.0 million in 2001 to $173.8 million in 2002. This increase is primarily the result of the Company recognizing $6.4 million of lease termination fees for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The occupancy level of in-service properties decreased from 89.9% at September 30, 2001, to 87.5% at September 30, 2002. The decrease is attributable to a combination of several properties with unleased space being completed and placed in-service over the last 12 months, the slow economy and related slowdown in demand, and the effects of the Company’s disposition activities in 2000 and 2001 during which over $1 billion of assets were sold in an effort to de-leverage the Company’s balance sheet as well as dispose of lower performing assets. The following is a summary of the Company’s in-service portfolio since January 1, 2001:

Equity in Earnings increased to $8.3 million from $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. In the third quarter of 2002, the Company recognized $1.8 million resulting from a gain on the sale of a property in a joint venture in which the Company had a 50% ownership interest. This increase was offset by a $740,000 decrease in termination fees from 2001 to 2002.

 

Operating expenses from Rental Operations increased in total from $116.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, to $127.0 million for the same period in 2002. The primary increase was in depreciation and amortization expense due to increases in building asset basis and additional investments in tenant improvements. Rental expenses and real estate taxes increased slightly in relation to the increased number of in-service properties from September 30, 2001 to September 30, 2002.

 

Interest expense for the three months ended September 2002 remained comparable to the same period in 2001. The Company has reduced secured debt and related interest expense over the past twelve months by paying off maturing mortgage loans, but the savings have been mitigated by less capitalized interest on development projects due to decreased development activity over the past twelve months.

 

As a result of the above-mentioned items, earnings from Rental Operations decreased $5.6 million from $60.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, to $55.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002.

 

Service Operations

 

Service Operations revenues decreased from $21.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, to $11.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The prolonged effect of the slow economy has been the primary factor in the overall decrease in revenues from Service Operations. Net revenues from general contractor work on third-party construction projects has decreased $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001 as customer decisions on expansions and new construction have been delayed due to economic conditions.

 

Construction management and development activity income represents construction and development fees earned on projects where the Company acts as the construction manager and profits from the Company’s held for sale program whereby a property is developed in DCLP and sold upon completion to a third party. There were no sales during the third quarter of 2002 from the Company’s held for sale portfolio compared to three sales in the third quarter of 2001.

 

16



 

Property management, maintenance and leasing fee revenues decreased to $3.8 million from $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. The $1.0 million decrease is due mainly to a decrease in landscaping maintenance revenue resulting from the sale of the landscaping business in the third quarter of 2001.

 

As a result, earnings from Service Operations decreased from $11.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, to $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002.

 

General and Administrative Expense

 

General and administrative expense increased from $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $6.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002. While the Company has implemented several initiatives that have reduced total operating and administration costs, reduced construction and development activity resulted in a greater amount of overhead being charged to general and administrative expense during the third quarter 2002 instead of being capitalized into development projects.

 

Other Income and Expenses

 

Earnings from land and depreciable property dispositions is primarily driven by the sale of held for investment rental properties. Throughout 2000 and 2001, the Company actively pursued favorable opportunities to dispose of real estate assets that no longer met long-term investment objectives. This disposition strategy generated approximately $31.8 million of gain on sales of depreciable property during the third quarter of 2001, compared to only $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, in conjunction with the Company’s decision to slow dispositions in 2002 in light of the current business climate.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”) on January 1, 2002. In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS 144, the Company is required to classify operations of properties identified as held for sale as discontinued operations when certain conditions are met. As noted in Footnote 7 to the financial statements, the Company classified two buildings that were sold in 2002 as discontinued operations. The sale of both of these buildings occurred in the second quarter of 2002, therefore, there is no effect on discontinued operations in the third quarter of 2002. The Company classified $452,000 of net income from operations of these properties in the third quarter of 2001 to discontinued operations.

 

Net Income Available for Common Shareholders

 

Net income available for common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2002, was $39.2 million compared to $77.1 million for the same period in 2001. This decrease results primarily from the operating fluctuations in Rental Operations, Service Operations, general and administrative expenses and sales of depreciable property as discussed above.

 

Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001

 

Rental Operations

 

Rental Operations revenue decreased to $538.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, from $540.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Rental Income increased from

 

17



 

$516.0 million in 2001 to $517.3 million in 2002. The Company continues to feel the impact of a slowed economy as businesses are delaying decisions to expand operations and, in some cases, are downsizing occupied space currently rented from the Company. As a result of the slowed economy, the occupancy of the Company’s in-service portfolio has decreased to 87.5% at September 30, 2002, from 89.9% at September 30, 2001. Also contributing to the decline in occupancy is the effect of the Company’s property dispositions. Throughout 2000 and 2001, and the first nine months of 2002, the Company has sold over $1 billion of held for investment rental properties from its in-service portfolio. A majority of these properties were over 90% leased and the new developments placed in-service over the same time period have leased at lower percentages and, therefore, the Company has realized less rental income. The Company has mitigated the decreased occupancy effects on Rental Income through the recognition of $22.2 million of lease termination fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. These fees are the result of negotiated terms for tenants vacating or downsizing previously leased space from the Company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company recognized $9.7 million in lease termination fees.

 

Equity in Earnings decreased to $20.9 million from $24.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. In the first quarter of 2001, the Company recognized a $2.9 million gain resulting from the sale of a property in a joint venture that the Company had a 50% ownership interest. In addition, the Company recognized $1.5 million in termination fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $584,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. During 2001, two of the Company’s 50% joint ventures incurred additional debt, resulting in increased interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to nine months ended September 30, 2001. These decreases were offset by the Company recognizing in the third quarter 2002, a $1.8 million gain from the sale of a property in a joint venture in which the Company had a 50% ownership interest.

 

Rental and real estate tax expenses increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. Generally, these increases resulted from a combination of increasing operating costs of the Company’s properties and an overall increase in the Company’s in-service portfolio from 878 buildings at September 30, 2001, to 904 at September 30, 2002. The majority of the operating expenses are recovered from the tenants through increased rental billings. Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, increased over the prior year, due to an increase in the Company’s building asset basis, investments in tenant improvements and the expensing of undepreciated tenant improvements associated with the early terminations of tenants.

 

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, remained comparable to the same period in 2001. The Company paid off over $128 million of secured debt throughout 2001, which has translated into a savings of $7.3 million in secured debt interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. The Company has also realized an interest expense savings of nearly $2 million on its unsecured line of credit as the result of carrying a lower balance on the line in 2002 and lower interest rates on the line. These savings have been offset by a $9.1 million decrease in capitalized interest from the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to the same period in 2002. This is due to decreased development activity during 2002 from the effects of the slowed economy and reduced development opportunities in the Company’s markets.

 

As a result of the above-mentioned items, earnings from Rental Operations decreased $21.1 million from $191.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, to $170.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

Service Operations

 

Service Operations revenues decreased from $67.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, to $56.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Overall, Service Operations has experienced decreased levels of construction volume during the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001, as the effects of a slowed economy have continued to affect customer decisions to expand operations into new office or industrial buildings. However, the completion of projects in the Company’s held for sale pipeline (see below) helped to offset the decrease in construction volume.

 

The Company experienced a $12.1 million decrease in net general contractor revenues from third party projects as the delay in economic recovery has forced many businesses to delay expansion and development decisions.

 

Construction management and development activity income was significantly higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001, due to profits generated from the Company’s held for sale program in DCLP. While the number of properties sold out of DCLP actually decreased from ten in 2001 to eight during 2002, the profit margins on these sales were greater in 2002 due to the types of properties sold and negotiated tenant purchase options on four properties sold in 2002 which yielded higher margins.

 

Property management, maintenance and leasing fee revenues decreased to $10.4 million from $19.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. The $8.9 million decrease is due mainly to a decrease in landscaping maintenance revenue resulting from the sale of the landscape business in the third quarter of 2001.

 

Service Operations expenses decreased by $7.0 million from $37.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, to $30.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This decrease is attributable to the decrease in construction and development activity associated with the slowdown in the economy and the reduced overhead costs from the sale of the landscaping business in the third quarter of 2001.

 

As a result of the above, earnings from Service Operations decreased from $30.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, to $26.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

 

General and Administrative Expense

 

General and administrative expense increased from $10.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $21.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The Company has reduced total operating and administration costs, however, reduced construction and development activities have resulted in a greater amount of overhead being charged to general and administrative expense instead of being capitalized into development projects.

 

Other Income and Expenses

 

Earnings from  land and depreciable property dispositions is primarily driven by the sale of held for investment rental properties. Throughout 2000 and 2001, the Company actively pursued favorable opportunities to dispose of real estate assets that no longer met long-term investment objectives. This disposition strategy generated approximately $45.1 million of gain on sales of depreciable property during the first nine months of 2001. In 2002, the Company significantly reduced its disposition strategy as the desired level of liquidity was achieved. As a result, dispositions of land and depreciable property in 2002 has yielded a significantly lower gain of $8.9 million.

 

19



 

Other revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, includes $877,000 of gain related to an interest rate swap that does not qualify for hedge accounting. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company recognized a $1.4 million loss on the same interest rate swap.

The Company classified net income of $833,000 and $1.2 million as discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, pertaining to two properties sold in 2002 which are classified as discontinued operations under SFAS 144. Additionally, the gain on the sale of these properties, net of minority interest, of $2.4 million is classified in discontinued operations in 2002.

 

Net Income Available for Common Shareholders

 

Net income available for common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, was $133.0 million compared to $185.5 million for the same period in 2001. This decrease results primarily from the operating fluctuations in Rental Operations, Service Operations, general and administrative expenses and earnings from sales of depreciable property as explained above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash flow provided by operating activities totaled $477.8 million and $268.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Operating activity cash flows represents the primary source of liquidity to fund distributions to shareholders, unitholders and the other minority interests. The significant increase in 2002 is due to the Company receiving approximately $197.0 million of net proceeds from the sale of buildings from its build-to-suit portfolio.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used by investing activities totaled $208.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $135.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.  Investing activities represent the investment of funds by the Company to lease, improve and expand its portfolio of held for rental properties through the development and acquisition of additional rental properties, net of proceeds received from depreciable property sales. As noted in the comparison of 2002 to 2001, the Company sold a significant amount of held for rental property in 2001. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company generated proceeds of $50.5 million from depreciable property sales compared to $403.8 million for the same period in 2001.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash used for financing activities totaled $236.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $432.8 million for the same period in 2001. During the third quarter, the Company completed two new issuances of unsecured debt totaling $200.0 million. The first offering was $150.0 million of senior notes bearing interest at 5.875% due 2012. The second offering was a $50.0 million medium term note offering bearing interest at 5.45% due 2012. The proceeds from the offerings were used primarily to reduce the Company’s unsecured line of credit. Also during the third quarter of 2002, the Company redeemed all of the Series G preferred units for $35.0 million and repurchased 355,000 shares of its Series B preferred stock for nearly $18 million.

During the nine months of 2001, the Company issued $75.0 million of preferred equity and $175.0 million of unsecured debt that was used to pay off outstanding balances on its unsecured lines of credit.

 

The Company made a $1.36 per share distribution to common shareholders and limited partner unitholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to a $1.33 per share distribution for the same period in 2001.

 

Debt and Equity

 

The Company currently has on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) one Form S-3 Registration Statement (the “Shelf Registration”), which, as of September 30, 2002, has remaining availability of $345.8 million to issue additional common shares, preferred shares and unsecured debt securities. The Company filed an additional $500 million Shelf Registration in October 2002.

Amounts outstanding on the unsecured line of credit at September 30, 2002 are at LIBOR + .65% (2.47% at September 30, 2002).

 

The total debt outstanding at September 30, 2002, totals $1.9 billion with a weighted average interest rate of 6.90% maturing at various dates through 2028. Scheduled principal amortization of such debt totaled $8.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

Accounting Changes

 

The Company elected to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” effective January 1, 2002. As a result, the Company expenses stock options based upon the estimated fair value of the options at the date of grant. Additionally, the Company expenses the discount given to employees under the employee stock purchase plan. The Company recorded expense of $325,000 for the first nine months of 2002 related to stock compensation from this accounting change.

 

Funds From Operations

 

Management believes that Funds From Operations (“FFO”), which is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as GAAP net income or loss, excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciated operating property, plus operating property depreciation and amortization and adjustments for minority interest and unconsolidated companies 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 Company’s FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30 as follows (in thousands):

While management believes that FFO is the most relevant and widely used measure of the Company’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 Company’s operating performance, and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs.

 

Item 3.   Quantative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks

 

The Company is exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of its line of credit and long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund capital expenditures and expansion of the Company’s real estate investment portfolio and operations. The Company’s interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To achieve its objectives the Company borrows primarily at fixed rates and may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps and treasury locks in order to mitigate its interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. The Company does not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our annual and periodic reports filed with the SEC 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 our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based on the most recent evaluation, which was completed within 90 days of the filing of this report, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer believe that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the date we completed our evaluation.
