      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  The  interim  condensed consolidated financial  statements  included
  herein  have  been  prepared by Duke Realty Investments,  Inc.  (the
  "Company")  without  audit. The statements  have  been  prepared  in
  accordance   with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles   for
  interim  financial information and the instructions  for  Form  10-Q
  and  Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not  include
  all  of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
  accounting  principles  for complete financial  statements.  In  the
  opinion  of  management,  all  adjustments  (consisting  of   normal
  recurring  adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation
  have  been  included. These financial statements should be  read  in
  conjunction  with  the consolidated financial statements  and  notes
  thereto included in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders.
  
  Share   and   per  share  amounts  in  the  consolidated   financial
  statements of the Company have been restated to reflect the two-for-
  one  split of the Company's common stock payable on August 25,  1997
  to common shareholders of record on August 18, 1997.
   
  THE COMPANY
  
  The  Company's rental operations are conducted through  Duke  Realty
  Limited  Partnership ("DRLP"). The Company owns  91.7%  of  DRLP  at
  September  30,  1997.  The  remaining interests  in  DRLP  ("Limited
  Partner Units") are exchangeable for shares of the Company's  common
  stock  on  a one-for-one basis. The Company periodically acquires  a
  portion  of  the minority interest in DRLP through the  issuance  of
  shares  of common stock for a like number of Limited Partner  Units.
  The  acquisition  of this minority interest is accounted  for  under
  the  purchase  method  with assets acquired  recorded  at  the  fair
  market  value  of  the  Company's  common  stock  on  the  date   of
  acquisition.  In  addition, the Company conducts operations  through
  Duke  Realty  Services  Limited Partnership  and  Duke  Construction
  Limited   Partnership,   in   which   the   Company's   wholly-owned
  subsidiary,  Duke Services, Inc., is the sole general  partner.  The
  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  the
  Company  and  its  majority-owned or  controlled  subsidiaries.  The
  equity  interests in these majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries
  not  owned by the Company are reflected as minority interests in the
  consolidated financial statements.
  
2. LINES OF CREDIT
   
  The  Company has a $200 million unsecured revolving credit  facility
  which  is  available  to  fund the development  and  acquisition  of
  additional  rental  properties and to provide working  capital.  The
  revolving  line  of credit matures in April 2001 and bears  interest
  payable  monthly  at  the  30-day  London  Interbank  Offered   Rate
  ("LIBOR")  plus  .80%.  The Company also has  a  demand  $7  million
  secured  revolving  credit facility which is  available  to  provide
  working  capital.  This facility bears interest payable  monthly  at
  the 30-day LIBOR rate plus .75%.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
  
  The    Company    provides    management,   maintenance,    leasing,
  construction,  and other tenant related services  to  properties  in
  which   certain   executive  officers  have   continuing   ownership
  interests. The Company was paid fees totaling $2.4 million and  $2.5
  million  for  such services for the nine months ended September  30,
  1997  and 1996, respectively. Management believes the terms for such
  services  are  equivalent  to those available  in  the  market.  The
  Company  has an option to purchase the executive officers'  interest
  in  each of these properties which expires October 2003. The  option
  price  of  each property was established at the date the option  was
  granted.
  
4. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

  The Company may enter into derivative financial instruments such  as
  interest  rate  swaps and treasury locks in order  to  mitigate  its
  interest  rate risk on a related financial instrument.  The  Company
  has  designated these derivative financial instruments as hedges and
  applies  deferral accounting as the instrument to be hedged  exposes
  the  Company  to  interest  rate risk and the  derivative  financial
  instrument  reduces that exposure. Gains and losses related  to  the
  derivative  financial  instrument  are  deferred  and  amortized  to
  interest expense over the term of the hedged instrument.

5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
  
  On  October 23, 1997, the Board of Directors declared a dividend  of

  INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
  --------------------------------------
  The Board of Directors
  DUKE REALTY INVESTMENTS, INC.:
  
  We  have  reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of  Duke
  Realty Investments, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30,  1997,
  the  related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the
  three  and  nine  months  ended September 30,  1997  and  1996,  the
  related  condensed  consolidated statements of cash  flows  for  the
  nine  months  ended  September 30, 1997 and 1996,  and  the  related
  condensed  consolidated statement of shareholders'  equity  for  the
  nine  months  ended September 30, 1997. 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  generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of  which
  is  the  expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements
  taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
  
  Based  on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications
  that   should  be  made  to  the  condensed  consolidated  financial
  statements  referred  to above for them to  be  in  conformity  with
  generally accepted accounting principles.
  
  We  have  previously audited, in accordance with generally  accepted
  auditing  standards, the consolidated balance sheet of  Duke  Realty
  Investments, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996, 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 29, 1997, we expressed an  unqualified
  opinion  on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion,

  ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
  
  OVERVIEW
  --------
  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 income from  rental
  operations is substantially influenced by the supply and demand  for
  the  Company's rental space in its primary markets. In addition, the
  Company's  continued  growth  is  dependent  upon  its  ability   to
  maintain  occupancy  rates and increase  rental  rates  of  its  in-
  service  portfolio  and to continue development and  acquisition  of
  additional rental properties.
  
  The  Company's  primary  markets in the Midwest  have  continued  to
  offer   strong   and  stable  local  economies  and  have   provided
  attractive  new development opportunities because of  their  central
  location,  established manufacturing base, skilled  work  force  and
  moderate labor costs. Consequently, the Company's occupancy rate  of
  its  in-service portfolio has exceeded 92% the last  two  years  and
  was  at 95.1% at September 30, 1997. The Company expects to continue
  to  maintain its overall occupancy levels at comparable  levels  and
  also  expects  to  be able to increase rental rates  as  leases  are
  renewed  or new leases are executed. This stable occupancy  as  well
  as  increasing rental rates should improve the Company's results  of
  operations  from  its in-service properties. The Company's  strategy
  for   continued  growth  also  includes  developing  and   acquiring
  additional  rental properties in its primary markets  and  expanding
  into other attractive Midwestern markets.
  
  The  following table sets forth information regarding the  Company's
  in-service portfolio of rental properties as of September  30,  1997
  and 1996 (in thousands, except percentages):

  Management  expects  occupancy of the in-service property  portfolio
  to  remain  stable because (i) only 3.0% and 10.3% of the  Company's
  occupied  square  footage  is subject  to  leases  expiring  in  the
  remainder  of 1997 and in 1998, respectively, and (ii) the Company's
  renewal  percentage  averaged 80%, 65% and 73%  in  1996,  1995  and
  1994, respectively.

  This  stable occupancy, along with stable rental rates in each of  the
  Company's markets, will allow the in-service portfolio to continue  to
  provide  a  comparable  or increasing level of  earnings  from  rental
  operations.  The  Company also expects to realize growth  in  earnings
  from rental operations through (i) the development and acquisition  of
  additional  rental  properties  in  its  primary  markets;  (ii)   the
  expansion  into  other attractive Midwestern markets;  and  (iii)  the
  completion  of  the  4.5  million  square  feet  of  properties  under
  development at September 30, 1997 over the next four quarters. The 4.5
  million  square  feet of properties under development  should  provide
  future earnings from rental operations growth for the Company as  they
  are  placed in service as follows (in thousands, except percent leased
  and stabilized returns):

  COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------
  SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
  ------------------
  Rental Operations
  -----------------
  The  Company increased its in-service portfolio of rental properties
  from   233  properties  comprising  25.9  million  square  feet   at
  September 30, 1996 to 278 properties comprising 34.2 million  square
  feet  at September 30, 1997 through the acquisition of 32 properties
  totaling  4.2  million  square  feet  and  the  completion   of   20
  properties  and  2 building expansions totaling 4.7  million  square
  feet  developed  by  the Company.  The Company also  disposed  of  7
  properties  totaling 592,000 square feet. These  45  net  additional
  rental  properties primarily account for the $14.8 million  increase
  in  revenues from Rental Operations from 1996 to 1997. The  increase
  from  1996  to  1997  in  rental expenses,  real  estate  taxes  and
  depreciation  and  amortization expense is  also  a  result  of  the
  additional 45 in-service rental properties.
   
  Interest  expense increased by approximately $1.4 million from  $7.9
  million  for  the  three months ended September  30,  1996  to  $9.3
  million  for  the  three  months ended September  30,  1997  due  to
  additional  unsecured debt issued in the Company's medium-term  note
  program  in  the  last quarter of 1996 to fund the  development  and
  acquisition of additional rental properties as well as $100  million
  of  unsecured  debt  issued  in  the  third  quarter  to  fund  1997
  development and acquisition activity.
  
  As  a  result  of  the above-mentioned items, earnings  from  rental
  operations increased $4.6 million from $15.8 million for  the  three
  months  ended  September 30, 1996 to $20.4  million  for  the  three
  months ended September 30, 1997.
  
  Service Operations
  ------------------
  Service  Operation revenues increased by $900,000 from $5.0  million
  for  the  three months ended September 30, 1996 to $5.9 million  for
  the  three  months ended September 30, 1997 due mainly to  increased
  construction  fee revenue related to increased construction  volume.
  As a result, earnings from
                                      
                                   - 11 -

  Service  Operations  increased slightly from $1.8  million  for  the
  three  months ended September 30, 1996 to $2.3 million for the three
  months ended September 30, 1997.
  
  General and Administrative Expense
  ----------------------------------
  General  and administrative expense increased from $1.1 million  for
  the  three months ended September 30, 1996 to $1.5 million  for  the
  three  months  ended September 30, 1997 primarily  as  a  result  of
  increased  state and local taxes due to the growth in  revenues  and
  net income of the Company.
  
  Other Income (Expense)
  ----------------------
  Interest  income increased from $316,000 for the three months  ended
  September  30, 1996 to $795,000 for the three months ended September
  30,  1997 primarily as a result of interest income which was  earned
  on  excess  cash balances resulting from the September  1997  Common
  Stock  offerings.  Other expense consists of costs  incurred  during
  the  pursuit  of various build-to-suit development projects  or  the
  acquisition  of  real estate assets. During the three  months  ended
  September  30,  1997, approximately $174,000 of costs were  expensed
  in  connection  with the decision to terminate the  pursuit  of  the
  acquisition of two large real estate portfolios.
  
  Net Income Available for Common Shares
  --------------------------------------
  Net  income  available for common shares for the three months  ended
  September  30,  1997  was  $16.9  million  compared  to  net  income
  available  for common shares of $13.5 million for the  three  months
  ended  September 30, 1996. This increase results primarily from  the
  operating  result  fluctuations  in rental  and  service  operations
  explained above.

  The  Company increased its in-service portfolio of rental properties
  from   233  properties  comprising  25.9  million  square  feet   at
  September 30, 1996 to 278 properties comprising 34.2 million  square
  feet  at September 30, 1997 through the acquisition of 32 properties
  totaling  4.2  million  square  feet  and  the  completion   of   20
  properties  and  2 building expansions totaling 4.7  million  square
  feet  developed  by  the Company. The Company  also  disposed  of  7
  properties  totaling 592,000 square feet. These  45  net  additional
  rental  properties primarily account for the $43.0 million  increase
  in  revenues  from Rental Operations from 1996 to 1997. The increase  
  from 1996 to 1997 in rental expenses, real estate taxes and depreciation
  and amortization expense is also a result of the additional 45 in-service 
  rental properties.

  Interest expense increased by approximately $4.7 million from  $22.5
  million  for  the  nine months ended September  30,  1996  to  $27.2
  million  for  the  nine  months ended  September  30,  1997  due  to
  additional unsecured debt issued in its medium-term note program  in
  the   last  two  quarters  of  1996  to  fund  the  development  and
  acquisition of additional rental properties as well as $100  million
  of  unsecured  debt  issued  in  the  third  quarter  to  fund  1997
  development and acquisitions.
  
  As  a  result  of  the above-mentioned items, earnings  from  rental
  operations increased $18.7 million from $38.9 million for  the  nine
  months  ended  September  30, 1996 to $57.6  million  for  the  nine
  months ended September 30, 1997.
  
  Service Operations
  ------------------
  Service  Operation revenues increased to $15.0 million for the  nine
  months  ended  September 30, 1997 as compared to $14.5  million  for
  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996.  This  increase  was
  primarily  the result of an increase in third-party maintenance fee
  revenue.  Service  Operation operating expenses increased from $9.9
  million to $10.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 
  as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996 primarily as
  a result of an increase in operating expenses resulting from the 
  overall growth  of the Company.
  
  As  a  result  of the above-mentioned items, earnings  from  Service
  Operations decreased slightly from $4.6 million for the nine  months
  ended  September 30, 1996 to $4.5 million for the nine months  ended
  September 30, 1997.
  
  General and Administrative Expense
  ----------------------------------
  General  and administrative expense increased from $3.3 million  for
  the  nine  months ended September 30, 1996 to $4.3 million  for  the
  nine  months  ended  September 30, 1997 primarily  as  a  result  of
  increased  state and local taxes due to the growth in  revenues  and
  net income of the Company.
  
  Other Income (Expense)
  ----------------------
  Interest  income increased from $929,000 for the nine  months  ended
  September  30,  1996  to  $1.2 million for  the  nine  months  ended
  September  30, 1997 primarily as a result of interest  income  which
  was  earned  on  excess cash balances resulting from  the  September
  1997  Common Stock offerings. Other expense consists of  the  write-
  off  of  costs  incurred during the pursuit of various build-to-suit
  development  projects  or the acquisition  of  real  estate  assets.
  During  the  nine  months  ended September 30,  1997,  approximately
  $486,000  of costs were expensed in connection with the decision  to
  terminate  the pursuit of the acquisition of two large  real  estate
  portfolios.
  
  Net Income Available for Common Shares
  --------------------------------------
  Net  income  available for common shares for the nine  months  ended
  September  30,  1997  was  $46.6  million  compared  to  net  income
  available for common shares of $35.4 million for the nine months
                                   - 13 -

  ended  September 30, 1996. This increase results primarily from  the
  operating  result  fluctuations  in rental  and  service  operations
  explained above.
  
  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
  
  Net  cash  provided by operating activities totaling $110.1  million
  and  $69.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997  and
  1996,  respectively, represents the primary source of  liquidity  to
  fund  distributions  to  shareholders,  unitholders  and  the  other
  minority  interests and to fund recurring costs associated with  the
  renovation   and  re-letting  of  the  Company's  properties.   This
  increase  is  primarily  a  result  of,  as  discussed  above  under
  "Results  of Operations," the increase in net income resulting  from
  the  expansion  of the in-service portfolio through development  and
  acquisitions of additional rental properties.
  
  Net  cash  used by investing activities totaling $380.5 million  and
  $202.5  million  for the nine months ended September  30,  1997  and
  1996,  respectively,  represents the  investment  of  funds  by  the
  Company  to  expand its portfolio of rental properties  through  the
  development and acquisition of additional rental properties  net  of
  proceeds  received from property sales. In 1997, $414.6 million  was
  invested  in  the  development and acquisition of additional  rental
  properties  and  the  acquisition of land held for  development.  In
  1996,   the  investment  in  the  development  and  acquisition   of
  additional  rental  properties and land  held  for  development  was
  $238.8  million.  During the nine months ended September  30,  1997,
  the  Company contributed properties to an existing joint venture  at
  an  agreed value of approximately $60 million. The Company  recorded
  its  investment  in  the joint venture related  to  this  additional
  contribution  at  its  carrying value of $48.6  million.  The  joint
  venture  partner contributed cash to the venture equal to  49.9%  of
  the  agreed value of the properties contributed, $30.0 million,  and
  this  cash  was distributed to the Company and reduced its  recorded
  investment  in  the  venture. This same joint venture  received  $60
  million  of  proceeds from a mortgage loan financing and distributed
  50.1%  of the proceeds to the Company. During the nine months  ended
  September  30,  1997, the Company invested over  $30  million  in  a
  newly  formed  joint  venture with an institutional  investor  which
  allowed  the joint venture to purchase a 345,000 square foot  office
  property in Chicago, Illinois which was over 95% occupied.
  
  Net  cash  provided by financing activities totaling $439.2  million
  and  $139.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
  1996,  respectively, represents the source of funds from equity  and
  debt  offerings and borrowings on the lines of credit  to  fund  the
  Company's   investing   activities.  Also  included   in   financing
  activities  are  the  distribution  of  funds  to  shareholders  and
  minority  interests. In  1996, the Company received  $129.2  million
  of  net proceeds from common equity offerings which was used to  pay
  down  amounts  outstanding on the unsecured line of  credit  and  to
  fund  current  development and acquisition activity.  In  1997,  the
  Company  received $300.5 million of net proceeds from common  equity
  offerings  which  was used to pay down amounts  outstanding  on  the
  unsecured  line of credit and to fund current development  activity.
  In  the  third quarter of 1997, the Company received $146.1  million
  of  net  proceeds  from  the  offering of  7.99%  Series  B  Step-Up
  Redeemable  Preferred Shares and $100 million from the  offering  of
  6.95% Pass-Through Asset Trust Securities due August 2004.

  The Company has a $200 million unsecured line of credit which matures
  in April 2001. This facility bears interest payable at the 30-day LIBOR 
  plus .80%. The Company has been able to reduce the borrowing rate on 
  this line of credit from LIBOR plus 1.625%  at December  31, 1996 to
  the current interest rate of LIBOR plus  .80%. The  Company  also has
  a demand $7 million secured revolving  credit  facility  which  is
  available  to  provide  working  capital.  This facility bears interest
  payable at the 30-day LIBOR rate plus .75%. 
 
  The  Company currently has on file Form S-3 Registration  Statements
  with  the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Shelf Registrations")
  which  had  remaining  availability as  of  September  30,  1997  of
  approximately $514.0 million to issue common stock, preferred  stock
  or   unsecured  debt  securities.  The  Company  intends  to   issue
  additional  equity  or  debt  under  these  Shelf  Registrations  as
  capital  needs  arise  to fund the development  and  acquisition  of
  additional rental properties.
  
  The  total debt outstanding at September 30, 1997 consists of  notes
  totaling  $596.2  million with a weighted average interest  rate  of
  7.57%  maturing  at  various dates through  2017.  The  Company  has
  $340.0 million of unsecured debt and $256.2 million of secured  debt
  outstanding  at September 30, 1997. Scheduled principal amortization
  of  such  debt  totaled  $2.6  million for  the  nine  months  ended
  September 30, 1997.

  FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
  
  Management  believes that Funds From Operations  ("FFO"),  which  is
  defined  by  the  National  Association of  Real  Estate  Investment
  Trusts  as  net income or loss excluding gains or losses  from  debt
  restructuring   and   sales  of  property  plus   depreciation   and
  amortization,   and   after  adjustments  for   minority   interest,
  unconsolidated  partnerships  and joint  ventures  (adjustments  for
  minority  interest, unconsolidated partnerships and  joint  ventures
  are  calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis), is  the  industry
  standard  for  reporting  the operations of real  estate  investment
  trusts.
  
  The  following  table reflects the calculation of the Company's  FFO
  for  the  three  and nine months ended September 30 as  follows  (in

  The  increase  in FFO for the three and nine months ended  September
  30,  1997 compared to the three and nine months ended September  30,
  1996   results  primarily  from  the  increased  in-service   rental
  property   portfolio   as   discussed  above   under   "Results   of
  Operations."
                                      
  While  management believes that FFO is the most relevant and  widely
  used  measure  of the 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.
