Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01.    Other Events

Duke Realty Corporation, an Indiana corporation (the “General Partner”), intends to file a registration statement on Form S-3 during November 2014 in order to renew its Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

The General Partner and Duke Realty Limited Partnership, an Indiana limited partnership (the "Partnership" and, collectively with the General Partner, the “Company”), of which the Company is the sole general partner, are operated as one enterprise. The management of the General Partner consists of the same members as the management of the Partnership. As the sole general partner with control of the Partnership, the General Partner consolidates the Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the General Partner does not have any significant assets other than its investment in the Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the General Partner and the Partnership are substantially the same.

In connection with the expected registration statement, the Company has reclassified the operations of certain properties that were sold subsequent to December 31, 2013 within its consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements that were previously filed in its combined 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity ("ASU 2014-08") on April 1, 2014. Since December 31, 2013, but prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-08, the Company disposed of certain properties that met the criteria to be reported in discontinued operations. The Company is required to reclassify results of operations from these properties as income from discontinued operations during all reported periods. The purpose of this Current Report on Form 8-K is to set forth audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, including revised notes thereto, which reflect the reclassification of the operations of certain properties to discontinued operations.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, the Company sold two properties that were not classified as held for sale at December 31, 2013. The results of operations from such properties have been reclassified as income from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements. There is no effect on the previously reported net income available for common shareholders.

Management does not believe that this reclassification has a material effect on the Company's selected consolidated financial data or management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 as previously reported in the Company's combined 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company is not revising Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) included in its combined 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K given the insignificance of the reclassified amounts.
