Arden Realty Limited Partnership
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
June 30, 2004
(unaudited) 1. Description of Business The terms us, we and our as used in this report refer to Arden
Realty Limited Partnership. The term Arden Realty refers to Arden Realty,
Inc. Organization and Formation of the Company We are an operating partnership that owns, manages, leases, develops,
renovates and acquires commercial properties located in Southern California.
Arden Realty, a real estate investment trust, or REIT, is our sole general
partner and, as of June 30, 2004, owned 97.4% of our common operating
partnership units, or common OP Units. Arden Realty conducts substantially all
of its operations through us and our subsidiaries. Commencing with its taxable
year ended December 31, 1996, Arden Realty has operated and qualified as a REIT
for federal income tax purposes. As of June 30, 2004, our portfolio was comprised of 128 primarily suburban
office properties, consisting of 210 buildings with approximately 18.8 million
net rentable square feet. As of June 30, 2004, our operating portfolio was
89.6% occupied. Arden Realtys interest in us entitles it to share in our cash
distributions, and in our profits and losses in proportion to its percentage
ownership. Certain individuals and entities own our remaining common OP Units,
including Messrs. Ziman and Coleman, Arden Realtys Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer and President and Chief Operating Officer, respectively,
together with other entities and persons. Each limited partner holding common
OP Units is entitled to cause us to redeem the limited partners common OP
Units for cash. We may, however, elect to exchange those common OP Units for
shares of Arden Realtys common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to
certain limitations, instead of paying cash. With each redemption or exchange
of common OP Units, Arden Realtys percentage interest in us will increase. As our sole general partner, Arden Realty generally has the exclusive
power under our partnership agreement to manage us and conduct our business,
subject to limited exceptions. Arden Realtys board of directors manages our
affairs. Our existence as a limited partnership cannot be terminated until
2096 without the approval of a majority of our partners or in connection with
the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, a business combination, a
judicial decree or the redemption of all the common OP Units held by our
limited partners. We are a Maryland limited partnership. Arden Realty is a Maryland
corporation. Arden Realtys common stock is listed on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol ARI. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts
and the accounts of Arden Realty and our subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We consolidate all entities for which we have controlling financial
interest as measured by a majority of the voting interest. For entities in
which the controlling financial interest is not clearly indicated by ownership
of a majority of the voting interest, we would consolidate those entities that
we control by agreement. We would also consolidate all variable interest
entities for which we were the primary beneficiary. We and Arden Realty currently own 100% of all of our consolidated
subsidiaries and we do not have any unconsolidated investments other than a
$2.7 million investment in the securities of a non-publicly traded company (see
Note 4). Because we do not control this company contractually nor exert
significant influence over its operating and financial policies, we account for
this investment under the cost method of accounting. Interim Financial Data The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements should be
read in conjunction with our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying financial information
reflects all adjustments, which are, in our opinion, of a normal recurring
nature and necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results
of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Interim results of
operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year. 6

Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current period presentation. 3. Property Dispositions We recovered a $400,000 environmental reserve during the second quarter of
2004 relating to the approximate 133,000 square foot retail property located in
Riverside County which was sold in the first quarter of 2004. This amount has
been included in the gain on sale of discontinued properties line item in our
consolidated statements of income. 4. Non-Real Estate Investments During the three months ended June 30, 2004, an impairment of $2.7 million
was recognized in conjunction with our investment in the securities of a
non-publicly traded company that provides distributed energy generation to
commercial property owners. This impairment represents our entire investment in
this company. We recorded this impairment after analyzing information received from this
company over the past several months regarding their current business and
financial strategies which indicated to us that the recoverability of our
investment is doubtful. 7

    This mortgage financing was repaid in full on April 9, 2004 with proceeds
from recent asset dispositions and funds from our unsecured lines of
credit.(2)
    
    Requires monthly payments of principal and interest.(3)
    
    Both mortgage loans are secured by the Conejo Business Center property.(4)
    
    Requires monthly payments of interest only, with outstanding principal
balance due upon maturity.(5)
    
    This line of credit also has an annual 20 basis point facility fee on the
entire $310 million commitment amount. In June 2004, we amended this line
of credit to reduce the interest rate from LIBOR + 1.00% to LIBOR + 0.90%.(6)
    
    We have entered into interest rate swap agreements that fixed the
interest rate on $50 million of the outstanding balance on this line of
credit at 3.95% through April of 2006.(7)
    
    In December 2003, we expanded this line of credit to $20 million at an
interest rate of LIBOR + 1.00% or Prime Rate  1.875%.(8)
    
    In 2002, we entered into interest rate swap agreements that fixed the
interest rate on the entire balance of this loan. In June 2004, we amended
this loan to reduce its effective interest rate by 20 basis points. After
this amendment and after taking into effect the interest rate swap
agreements for this loan, it will have an effective interest rate of
approximately 4.14% for the remainder of 2004, 4.55% in 2005 and 4.70% in
2006.(9)
    
    Requires semi-annual interest payments only, with principal balance due
upon maturity.(10)
    
    During the fourth quarter of 2003, we entered into interest rate swap
agreements to float the interest rate on $100 million of the outstanding
balance of these notes at a rate of LIBOR + 3.1% through November of 2007.
Including these swap agreements, the effective interest rate on these
notes was approximately 6.20% as of June 30, 2004. 8

6. Interest Rate Swap Agreements We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to effectively convert
floating rate debt into fixed rate debt, to convert fixed rate debt to floating
rate debt and to lock the current Treasury rate in anticipation of future debt
issuances. Net amounts received or paid under these agreements are recognized
as an adjustment to interest expense when such amounts are incurred or earned.
Our objective in using interest rate swap agreements is to manage our exposure
to interest rate movements. During 2002, such agreements were used to fix the floating interest rate
associated with $50 million of the Wells Fargo unsecured line of credit and the
entire $125 million balance of the unsecured term loan. Since June of 2003, we
have also entered into $150 million of forward-starting swaps that effectively
fixed the 10-year Treasury rate at an average rate of approximately 4.1% for
borrowings that are anticipated to occur in 2004 to refinance some of our
scheduled debt maturities. The forward-starting interest rate swaps were
entered into at current market rates and, therefore, had no initial cost. In October and November of 2003, we also entered into reverse interest
rate swap agreements to float $100 million of the fixed interest rate
associated with the 7.00% senior unsecured notes due in November of 2007.
Under these reverse swaps, we will receive interest at a fixed rate of 7.00%
and pay interest at a variable rate averaging six-month LIBOR in arrears plus
3.10%. The interest rate swaps mature at the same time the notes are due. These
swaps qualify as fair value hedges for accounting purposes. Net semi-annual
interest payments will be recognized as increases or decreases in interest
expense. The fair value of the interest rate swaps will be recognized on our
balance sheet and the carrying value of the senior unsecured notes will be
increased or decreased by an offsetting amount. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133), as amended and
interpreted, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and for hedging activities. The accounting for changes in the fair
value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the
resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in
the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a
particular risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge
the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of
forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value
of the derivative and the hedged item related to the hedged risk are recognized
in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective
portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in
other comprehensive income (loss), outside of earnings and subsequently
recognized to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. Under SFAS 133, our $175 million in floating-to-fixed swaps and our $150
million in forward-starting swaps outstanding as of June 30, 2004 are
classified as cash flow hedges with their fair value of approximately $3.8
million reported in accumulated other comprehensive income on our balance
sheet. The estimated fair value of these interest rate swap agreements are
dependent on changes in market interest rates and other market factors that
affect the value of such agreements. Consequently, the estimated current fair
value may significantly change during the term of the agreements. Any
estimated gain or loss from these agreements will be amortized into earnings as
we recognize the interest expense for the underlying floating-rate loans at the
fixed interest rate provided under our agreements in the case of the
fixed-to-floating swaps or as part of interest expense for future borrowings in
the case of the forward starting swaps. If the underlying debt related to these
swaps were to be repaid prior to maturity, we would recognize into interest
expense any unamortized gain or loss at the time of such early repayment. Under SFAS 133, our $100 million in fixed-to-floating hedges are
classified as fair value hedges with their fair value of approximately $1.3
million reported in both the unsecured senior notes and accounts payable and
accrued expenses line items on our balance sheet. The estimated fair value of
these interest rate hedge agreements are dependent on changes in market
interest rates and other market factors that affect the value of such
agreements. Consequently, the estimated current fair value may significantly
change during the term of the agreements. Any estimated gain or loss from
these agreements will be amortized into earnings as we recognize the interest
expense for the underlying fixed-rate loan at the floating interest rate
provided under our agreements in the case of the floating-to-fixed hedges. If
the underlying debt related to these hedges were to be repaid prior to
maturity, we would recognize into interest expense any unamortized gain or loss
at the time of such early repayment. 7. Partners Capital A common Operating Partnership unit, or common OP Unit, and a share of
Arden Realtys common stock have essentially the same economic characteristics
as they share equally in the total net income or loss and distributions. A
common OP Unit may be redeemed for cash or, at our election, for shares of
Arden Realtys common stock on a one-for-one basis. Included in our partners capital balance is $50 million of 8.625% Series
B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Operating Partnership Units, or Preferred OP
Units. These Preferred OP Units were issued in September of 1999, are callable
by us after September 2004 and are exchangeable after ten years by the holder
into our 8.625% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, on a
one-for-one basis. The Preferred OP Units and Series B Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Stock have no stated maturity or mandatory redemption and are
subordinate to all debt. On April 21, 2004, we made a distribution of $0.505 per common operating
partnership unit. In addition, on June 30, 2004, we made a distribution of
approximately $1.1 million to our preferred unit holders. 9

10. Stock Option Plan Beginning on January 1, 2003, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 148,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation  Transition and Disclosure under which we began expensing the costs of new
stock options granted to employees in 2003 in accordance with SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. We used the Black-Scholes option
valuation model to estimate the fair value of the stock options granted. During
the three months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003, we expensed
approximately $8,000 of stock option based employee compensation costs. The following table reflects pro forma net income and earnings per share
had we elected to expense all options granted by Arden Realty prior to 2003
assuming the fair value method and using the Black-Scholes option valuation

arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which if determined
unfavorably to us is expected to have a material adverse effect on our cash
flows, financial condition or results of operations. There were no material
changes in our legal proceedings during the three months ended June 30, 2004. 11

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations Overview The following discussion relates to our unaudited consolidated financial
statements included herein, which should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form
10-Q and in our 2003 Annual Report onForm 10-K. This form 10-Q, including the documents incorporated herein by reference,
contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act pertaining to, among other
things, our future results of operations, cash available for distribution,
acquisitions, lease renewals, property development, property renovation,
capital requirements and general business, industry and economic conditions
applicable to us. Also, documents we subsequently file with the SEC and
incorporated herein by reference will contain forward-looking statements.
Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the
forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors set forth below and
the matters set forth or incorporated in this form 10-Q generally. We caution
you, however, that this list of factors may not be exhaustive, particularly
with respect to future filings. We are an operating partnership that owns, manages, leases, develops,
renovates and acquires commercial properties located in Southern California. We
are managed by 7 senior executive officers who have experience in the real
estate industry ranging from 13 to 34 years and who collectively have an
average of 19 years experience. We perform all property and development
management, accounting, finance and acquisition, disposition activities and a
majority of our leasing transactions with our staff of approximately 300
employees. As of June 30, 2004, Arden Realty, our general partner, was Southern
Californias largest publicly traded office landlord as measured by total net
rentable square feet owned. As of that date, our portfolio was comprised of 128
primarily suburban office properties, consisting of 210 buildings with
approximately 18.8 million net rentable square feet. As of June 30, 2004 and
December 31, 2003, our operating portfolio was 89.6% and 90.4% occupied,
respectively. Business Strategy Our primary business strategy is to actively manage our portfolio to seek
to achieve gains in rental rates and occupancy, control operating expenses and
maximize income from ancillary operations and services. When market conditions
permit, we may also renovate existing or new properties or selectively develop
or acquire new properties that add value and fit strategically into our
portfolio. We may also sell existing properties and place the proceeds into
investments we believe will generate higher long-term value. We continue to seek to build a tenant base of smaller, diverse companies
that limits our exposure to any single tenant or industry. Smaller tenants
typically translate into shorter-term leases. Shorter-term leases provide
greater opportunity for renewing a substantial portion of our portfolio at
higher rental rates each year during strong markets, but create challenges to
maintain occupancy and rates when markets weaken. The average term of our
leases is 4 to 5 years, resulting in approximately 15% to 20% of our leases
expiring annually. We closely monitor our operating expenses and capital expenditures to
sustain or improve operating margins and dividend coverage. We may defer
discretionary operating expenses and capital expenditures until market
conditions improve. Impact of Economic Climate Our short and long-term liquidity, ability to refinance existing indebtedness,
ability to issue long-term debt and equity securities at favorable rates and
our dividend policy are significantly impacted by the operating results of our
properties, all of which are located in Southern California. Our ability to
lease available space and increase rates when leases expire is largely
dependent on the demand for office space in the markets where our properties
are located. The timing and extent of future changes in the national and local economy
and their effects on our properties and results of operations are difficult to
accurately predict. It is likely, however, that if national and regional
economic conditions deteriorate they would directly affect our operating
results in the future, making it more difficult for us to lease and renew
available space, to increase or maintain rental rates as leases expire and to
collect amounts due from our tenants. For additional information, see Risk
Factors  Further declines in the economic activity of Southern California will
adversely affect our operating results,  The financial condition and
solvency of our tenants may reduce our cash flow, and  Rising energy costs
and power outages in California may have an adverse effect on our operations
and revenue, in our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Critical Accounting Policies Refer to our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of our
critical accounting policies, which include, among other things, revenue
recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and depreciation. There have been
no material changes to these policies in 2004. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements As of June 30, 2004, there are no off-balance sheet transactions,
arrangements or obligations (including contingent obligations) that have, or
are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our
financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses,
results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. 12

    Property Operating Results is commonly used by investors to
evaluate the performance of REITs, to determine trends in earnings
and to compute the fair value of properties as it is not affected
by (1) the cost of funds of the property owner or (2) the impact of
depreciation and amortization expenses as well as gains or losses
from the sale of operating real estate assets that are included in
net income computed in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, or GAAP. The first factor is commonly
eliminated from net income because it is specific to the particular
financing capabilities and constraints of the owner. The second
factor is commonly eliminated because it may not accurately
represent the actual change in value in real estate properties that
results from use or changes in market conditions. We believe that
eliminating these costs from net income gives investors an
additional 13

measure of operating performance that, when used as an
adjunct to net income computed in accordance with GAAP, can be a
useful measure of our operating results.Property Operating Results captures trends in occupancy rates, rental
rates and operating costs. However, Property Operating Results
excludes general and administrative costs, interest expense, interest income,
depreciation and amortization expense and gains or losses from the sale of
properties, changes in value in our real estate properties that result from use or
permanent impairment to carrying costs as stipulated by GAAP, the level of
capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating
performance of our properties, all of which are significant economic costs.
Therefore, Property Operating Results may fail to capture significant trends
which limits its usefulness.Property Operating Results is a non-GAAP measure of performance.
Property Operating Results is not a substitute for net income as
computed in accordance with GAAP. It excludes significant expense
components such as depreciation and amortization expense and financing
costs. This measure should be analyzed in conjunction with net income
and cash flow from operating activities as computed in accordance with
GAAP. Other companies may use different methods for calculating
Property Operating Results or similarly entitled measures and,

accordingly, our Property Operating Results may not be comparable to
similarly entitled measures reported by other companies that do not
define the measure exactly as we do.The following is a reconciliation of net income computed in accordance

    Consists of non-development properties classified as part of
continuing operations and owned for the entirety of the periods
presented. VARIANCES FOR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Our Property Operating Results for the three months ended June 30, 2004
compared to the same period in 2003 were primarily affected by our
acquisitions, dispositions and development activities since January 1, 2003. As a result of these changes within our portfolio of properties since
January 1,2003, we do not believe the Property Operating Results presented
above are comparable from period to period. Therefore, in the table above, we
have also presented the Property Operating Results for our same store
portfolio. Revenue from Rental Operations The increase in revenue from rental operations for the total portfolio was
primarily due to the approximate 101,000 square foot acquisition we made in
December 2003 consisting of an office property in San Diego County and revenues
from our 6100 Center Drive development property in Los Angeles County which was
placed in service during the second quarter of 2004 and from scheduled rent
increases in our existing leases. The increase in revenue from rental operations for the same property
portfolio was primarily due to an approximate $600,000 increase in cash rents,
an approximate $450,000 increase in parking income and an approximate $350,000
increase in other rental operations, all of which were partially offset by an
approximate $400,000 decrease in tenant reimbursements. The increase in cash
rents was primarily related to scheduled rent increases in existing leases and
by the 0.2% increase in average occupancy for these properties. The increase in
parking income is primarily due to higher average occupancy in 2004 and special
event parking in 2004 in some of our buildings. The increase in other rental
operations was primarily related to higher lease termination fees and higher
after-hour utility recoveries in 2004. The decrease in tenant reimbursements
was primarily due to higher prior year reimbursement reconciliation billings in
2003. Property Expenses The increase in property expenses for the total portfolio was partially
due to the property acquired in December 2003 and the placement in service of
our 6100 Center Drive property in the second quarter of 2004. The increase in property expenses for the same property portfolio was
primarily due to an approximate $600,000 increase in repairs and maintenance
and an approximate $600,000 increase in real estate taxes, all of which were
partially offset by an approximate $200,000 decrease in property administrative
expense and an approximate $100,000 decrease in ground rent expense. Repairs
and maintenance increased primarily due to higher costs for contracted services
and the timing of certain projects. Real estate taxes increased primarily due
to refunds received on final reassessments in 2003 for certain properties.
Property administrative expenses primarily decreased due to start-up costs
associated with employee training programs implemented in 2003 and lower legal
expenses relating to 14

##### Table of Contents



unlawful detainers and tenant rent disputes in 2004.
Ground rent expense decreased primarily due to higher contingent ground rent
recorded in 2003 relating to one of our properties. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were
approximately 4.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to
approximately 3.5% for the same period in 2003. The approximate $1.3 million
increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily related to higher
personnel costs associated with annual merit increases and non-cash
compensation expense associated with restricted stock grants issued in 2004 and
2003 as well as higher corporate governance costs in 2004. Interest Expense Interest expense decreased approximately $2.1 million, or 9%, for the
three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. This
decrease was primarily due to the paydown in the second quarter of 2004 of a
$175 million, 7.52% mortgage financing loan with disposition proceeds and funds
from our unsecured line of credit and the fixed to floating swaps entered into
on our unsecured senior notes in 2003, all of which were partially offset by
lower capitalized interest in 2004. Capitalized interest was lower in 2004 as
we stopped capitalizing interest on our 6100 Center Drive property in May 2003. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $2.4
million, or 8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same
period in 2003, primarily due to depreciation related to a property acquired in
December 2003 and depreciation related to capital expenditures, tenant
improvements and leasing commissions placed in service subsequent to the first
quarter of 2003. Interest and Other Income (Loss) Beginning January 1, 2004, we reclassified the operating results of
Nextedge, our taxable REIT subsidiary, or TRS, that provides energy consulting
services to commercial real estate owners from general and administrative
expenses into the interest and other income (loss) line item to more clearly
present our general and administrative costs as well as the operating results
of Nextedge. We also reclassified the operating results of our TRS in the
second quarter of 2003 to conform to the 2004 presentation. Interest and other income (loss) decreased by approximately $600,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003,
primarily due to operating losses from Nextedge. 15

    Property Operating Results is commonly used by investors to
evaluate the performance of REITs, to determine trends in earnings
and to compute the fair value of properties as it is not affected
by (1) the cost of funds of the property owner or (2) the impact of
depreciation and amortization expenses as well as gains or losses
from the sale of operating real estate assets that are included in
net income computed in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, or GAAP. The first factor is commonly
eliminated from net income because it is specific to the particular
financing capabilities and constraints of the owner. The second
factor is commonly eliminated because it may not accurately
represent the actual change in value in real estate properties that
results from use or changes in market conditions. We believe that
eliminating these costs from net income gives investors an
additional measure of operating performance that, when used as an
adjunct to net income computed in accordance with GAAP, can be a
useful measure of our operating results.Property Operating Results captures trends in occupancy rates, rental
rates and operating costs. However, Property Operating Results
excludes 16

general and administrative costs, interest expense, interest income,
depreciation and amortization expense and gains or losses from the sale of
properties, changes in value in our real estate properties that result from use or
permanent impairment to carrying costs as stipulated by GAAP, the level of
capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating
performance of our properties, all of which are significant economic
costs. Therefore, Property Operating Results may fail to capture significant
trends which limits its usefulness.Property Operating Results is a non-GAAP measure of performance.
Property Operating Results is not a substitute for net income as
computed in accordance with GAAP. It excludes significant expense
components such as depreciation and amortization expense and financing
costs. This measure should be analyzed in conjunction with net income
and cash flow from operating activities as computed in accordance with
GAAP. Other companies may use different methods for calculating
Property Operating Results or similarly entitled measures and,
accordingly, our Property Operating Results may not be comparable to
similarly entitled measures reported by other companies that do not
define the measure exactly as we do.The following is a reconciliation of net income computed in accordance

    Consists of non-development properties classified as part of
continuing operations and owned for the entirety of the periods
presented. VARIANCES FOR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Our Property Operating Results for the six months ended June 30, 2004
compared to the same period in 2003 were primarily affected by our
acquisitions, dispositions and development activities since January 1, 2003. As a result of these changes within our portfolio of properties since
January 1,2003, we do not believe the Property Operating Results presented
above are comparable from period to period. Therefore, in the table above, we
have also presented the Property Operating Results for our same property
portfolio. Revenue from Rental Operations The increase in revenue from rental operations for the total portfolio was
primarily due to the approximate 101,000 square foot acquisition we made in
December 2003 of an office property in San Diego County and revenues from our
6100 Center Drive development property which was placed in service during the
second quarter of 2004 and from scheduled rent increases in our existing leases
that were partially offset by the decline in average occupancy. The increase in revenue from rental operations for the same property
portfolio was primarily due to an approximate $2.0 million increase in other
rental operations, a $1.1 million increase in cash rents and an approximate
$900,000 increase in parking income, all of which were partially offset by an
approximate $1.7 million decrease in tenant reimbursements. The increase in
other rental operations was primarily related to higher lease termination fees
in 2004 and lower reserves for tenant receivables. The increase in parking
income is primarily due to higher average occupancy in 2004 and special event
parking in 2004 in some of our buildings. The increase in cash rents was
primarily related to scheduled rent increases in existing leases and by the
0.4% increase in average occupancy for these properties. The decrease in tenant
reimbursements was primarily due to higher prior year reimbursement
reconciliation billings in 2003. Property Expenses The increase in property expenses for the total portfolio was partially
due to the property acquired in December 2003 and placing our 6100 Center Drive
property in service in the second quarter of 2004. The increase in property expenses for the same property portfolio was
primarily due to an approximate $1.8 million increase in repairs and
maintenance, and an approximate $1.1 million increase in real estate taxes and
an approximate $650,000 increase in property administrative expenses, all of
which were partially offset by an approximate $500,000 decrease in utility
expenses. Repairs and maintenance increased primarily due to higher costs for
contracted services and the timing of certain projects. Real estate taxes
increased primarily due to the timing of final reassessments and property tax
refunds received in 2003 for certain properties. Property administrative
expenses increased due to higher personnel costs from annual merit increases
and other non-recurring separation costs, partially offset by start-up costs
associated with employee training programs implemented in 2003 and lower legal
expenses relating to unlawful detainers and tenant rent disputes in 2004.
Utility expenses decreased primarily due to lower usage in the first quarter of
2004 due primarily to the temporary decline in average occupancy in the first
quarter of 2004. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were
approximately 4.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to
approximately 3.3% for the same period in 2003. The approximate $2.6 million
increase in general and 17

##### Table of Contents



administrative expenses was primarily related to higher
personnel costs associated with annual merit increases and non-cash
compensation expense associated with restricted stock grants issued in 2004 and
2003 and higher corporate governance costs in 2004. Interest Expense Interest expense decreased approximately $1.8 million, or 4%, for the six
months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. This decrease
was primarily due to the paydown in the second quarter of 2004 of a $175
million, 7.52% mortgage financing loan with proceeds from our first quarter
2004 dispositions and funds from our unsecured line of credit in 2004 and the
fixed to floating swaps entered into on our unsecured senior notes in 2003, all
of which were partially offset by lower capitalized interest in 2004.
Capitalized interest was lower in 2004 as we stopped capitalizing interest on
our 6100 Center Drive property in May 2003. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $4.3
million, or 7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same
period in 2003, primarily due to depreciation related to a property acquired in
December 2003 and depreciation related to capital expenditures, tenant
improvements and leasing commissions placed in service subsequent to the second
quarter of 2003. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash Flows Cash provided by operating activities decreased by approximately $6.1
million to $82.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to
$88.7 million for the same period in 2003. This decrease was primarily due to
the loss of operating cash flows from ten properties sold since the beginning
of 2003 as part of our capital recycling program, partially offset by the
increased cash flows from a property acquired in the fourth quarter of 2003 and
our 6100 Center Drive development property, which was placed in service during
the second quarter of 2004. Cash provided by investing activities decreased by approximately $17.1
million to $20.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to
$38.0 million for the same period in 2003. This decrease was primarily due to
fewer asset sales and lower disposition proceeds in 2004. Cash used in financing activities decreased by approximately $16.9 million
to $98.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $115.2
million for the same period in 2003. This change was primarily due to higher
proceeds from issuances of common operating partnership units in 2004. Available Borrowings, Cash Balance and Capital Resources We have an unsecured line of credit with a total commitment of $20 million
from City National Bank. This line of credit accrues interest at LIBOR + 1.00%
or the City National Bank Prime Rate less 0.875% and is scheduled to mature in
August 2004. Proceeds from this line of credit are used, among other things, to
provide funds for tenant improvements and capital expenditures and provide for
working capital and other corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2004, there was
$10 million outstanding on this line of credit and $10 million was available
for additional borrowings. We also have an unsecured line of credit with a group of banks led by
Wells Fargo. In June 2004, this line of credit was amended to reduce the
interest rates by approximately 10 to 15 basis points depending on our secured
debt rating and revise certain covenants. As a result of this amendment, this
line of credit provides for borrowings up to $310 million with an option to
increase the amount to $350 million and bears interest at a rate ranging
between LIBOR + 0.65% and LIBOR + 1.15% (including an annual facility fee
ranging from 0.15% to 0.40% based on the aggregate amount of the line of
credit) depending on our unsecured debt rating. This line of credit matures in
April 2006. In addition, as long as we maintain an unsecured debt rating of
BBB-/Baa3 or better, the agreement contains a competitive bid option, whereby
the lenders may bid on the interest rate to be charged for up to $150 million
of the unsecured line of credit. We also have the option to convert the
interest rate on this line of credit to the higher of Wells Fargos prime rate
or the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%. As of June 30, 2004, $272 million was
outstanding on this line of credit and $38 million was available for additional
borrowings. As of June 30, 2004, we had approximately $23.6 million in cash and cash
equivalents, including $13.7 million in restricted cash. Restricted cash
consisted of $9.7 million in interest bearing cash deposits required by four of
our mortgage loans payable and $4.0 million in cash impound accounts for real
estate taxes and insurance as required by several of our mortgage loans
payable. We entered into $150 million of forward-starting swaps during 2003 to
effectively fix the 10-year Treasury rate at an average rate of approximately
4.1% for borrowings that are anticipated to occur in 2004 to refinance some of
our scheduled debt maturities. The forward-starting interest rate swaps were
entered into at current market rates and, therefore, had no initial cost. In October and November of 2003, we also entered into reverse interest
rate swap agreements to float $100 million of the fixed interest rate
associated with the 7.00% senior unsecured notes due in November of 2007.
Under these reverse swaps, we will receive interest at a fixed rate of 7.00%
and pay interest at a variable rate averaging six-month LIBOR in arrears plus
3.10%. These interest rate swaps mature at the same time the notes are due. In June 2004, we amended our $125 million unsecured term loan with Wells
Fargo to reduce its effective interest rate by 20 basis points. This loan was
scheduled to increase from LIBOR + 1.25% to LIBOR + 1.45% in June 2004. In
2002, we entered into interest rate swap agreements that fixed the interest
rate on the entire balance of this loan. As a result of the amendment and
taking into effect the interest rate swap agreements for this loan, it will
have an effective interest rate of approximately 4.14% for the remainder of
2004, 4.55% in 2005 and 4.70% in 2006. 18

We expect to continue meeting our short-term liquidity and capital
requirements generally through net cash provided by operating activities and
proceeds from our unsecured lines of credit. We believe the foregoing sources
of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our short-term liquidity needs over the next twelve months, including
recurring non-revenue enhancing capital expenditures, tenant improvements and
leasing commissions. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity and capital requirements such as
scheduled principal repayments, development costs, property acquisitions, if
any, and other non-recurring capital expenditures through net cash provided by
operations, refinancing of existing indebtedness and the issuance of long-term
debt and equity securities. Capital Recycling Program No properties were disposed of during the three months ended June 30,
2004. Debt Summary Following is a summary of scheduled principal payments for our total debt

 Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service and Compliance with
Principal Financial Covenants Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service is a non-GAAP measurement
of our performance and liquidity. Consolidated Income Available for Debt
Service is presented below because this data is used by investors and our
management as a supplemental measure to (a) evaluate our operating performance
and compare it to other real estate companies, (b) determine trends in
earnings, (c) determine our ability to service debt and (d) determine our
ability to fund future capital expenditure requirements. As discussed more
fully below, Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service is also used in
several financial covenants we are required to satisfy each quarter under the
terms of our principal debt agreements. Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service permits investors and
management to view income from our operations on an unleveraged basis before
the effects of non-cash depreciation and amortization expense. By excluding
interest expense, Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service measures our
operating performance independent of our capital structure and indebtedness
and, therefore, allows for a more meaningful comparison of our operating
performance between quarters as well as annual periods and to compare our
operating performance to that of other companies, and to more readily identify
and evaluate trends in earnings. The usefulness of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service is
limited because it does not reflect interest expense, taxes, gains or losses on
sales of property, losses on valuations of derivatives, asset impairment
losses, cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, extraordinary
items as defined by GAAP and depreciation and amortization costs. These costs
have been or may in the future be incurred by us, each of which affects or
could effect our operating performance and ability to finance our investments
at competitive borrowing costs, successfully maintain our REIT status, and
acquire and dispose of real estate properties at favorable prices to us. Some
of these costs also reflect changes in value in our properties that result from
use or changes in market conditions and the level of capital expenditures and
leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our
properties. Due to the significance of the net income components excluded from
Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service, this measure should not be
considered an alternative to (and should be considered in conjunction with) net
income, cash flow from operations, and other performance or liquidity measures
prescribed by GAAP. This measure should also be analyzed in conjunction with
discussions elsewhere in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations regarding the items eliminated in the
calculation of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service. 20

 Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service is also presented because
it is used in ratios contained in the principal financial covenants of the
Indenture governing our publicly traded senior unsecured notes and our Credit
Agreement with a syndicate of banks led by Wells Fargo. As of June 30, 2004,
our senior unsecured notes represented approximately 39% of our total
outstanding debt and amounts outstanding under our Wells Fargo unsecured line
of credit represented approximately 21% of our total outstanding debt. The
Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service ratios and the other ratios
reported below are part of financial covenants we are required to satisfy each
fiscal quarter. We believe information about these ratios is useful to (1)
confirm that we are in compliance with the financial covenants of our principal
loan agreements, (2) evaluate our ability to service our debt, (3) evaluate our
ability to fund future capital expenditures, and (4) compare our ratios to
other real estate companies, including other REITs, that present the same
ratios. If we were to fail to satisfy these financial covenants, we would be in
default under the terms of the Indenture for the senior unsecured notes and/or
the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement. A default under those agreements could
accelerate the obligation to repay such debt and could cause us to be in
default under our other debt agreements. Depending on the circumstances
surrounding such acceleration, we might not be able to repay the debt on terms
that are favorable to us, or at all, which could have a material adverse affect
on our financial condition and our ability to raise capital in the future. 21

    We believe that funds from operations, or FFO, is a useful
supplemental measure of our operating performance. We compute FFO in
accordance with standards established by the White Paper on FFO
approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of
Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, in April 2002. The White
Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, excluding
extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains and losses from
sales of depreciable operating property plus real estate-related
depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.We believe that FFO, by excluding depreciation costs, the gains or
losses from the sale of operating real estate properties and the
extraordinary items as defined by GAAP, provides an additional
perspective on our operating results. However, because these excluded
items have a real economic effect, FFO is a limited measure of
performance.FFO captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating
costs. FFO excludes depreciation and amortization costs and it does not
capture the changes in value in our properties that result from use or
changes in market conditions or the level of capital expenditures and
leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our
properties, all of which are significant economic costs. Therefore, its
ability to measure performance is limited.Because FFO excludes significant economic components of net income
determined in accordance with GAAP, FFO should be used as an adjunct to
net income and not as an alternative to net income. FFO should also not
be used as an indicator of our financial performance, or as a substitute
for cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with
GAAP or as a measure of our liquidity. FFO is not by itself indicative
of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay
dividends or service our debt.FFO is used by investors to compare our performance with other real
estate companies. Other real estate companies may use different methods
for calculating FFO and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to
other real estate companies.(2)
    
    Includes $785,000 and $448,000 in non-cash compensation expense for
the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and
approximately $1.5 million and $837,000 in non-cash compensation
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. 23

    Estimated Year 1 Annual GAAP Yield includes an adjustment for
straight-line rents. In addition, we have preliminary architectural designs completed for
additional build-to-suit projects at the Howard Hughes Center totaling
approximately 475,000 net rentable square feet of office space. We also have
construction entitlements at the Howard Hughes Center for up to 600 hotel
rooms. Build-to-suit projects consist of properties constructed to the tenants
specifications in return for the tenants long-term commitment to the property.
We do not intend to commence construction on any additional build-to-suit or
multi-tenant projects at the Howard Hughes Center until development plans and
budgets are finalized with terms allowing us to achieve yields commensurate
with the projects development risk. In addition to our development at the Howard Hughes Center, we have
completed preliminary designs and are marketing an approximate 170,000 square
foot build-to-suit office building at our Long Beach Airport Business Park.
Also, as part of our Gateway Towers acquisition in August 2002, we acquired a
5-acre developable land parcel in Torrance, California that we intend to market
for a build-to-suit office building. We currently do not intend to commence
construction on these projects until build-to-suit tenant leases are signed
with terms allowing us to achieve yields commensurate with the projects
development risk. We expect to finance our development activities over the next 24 months
through net cash provided by operating activities, proceeds from asset sales,
proceeds from our unsecured lines of credit or other secured borrowings. 
 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk Market risk is the exposure or loss resulting from changes in interest
rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices.
The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk, which is
sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies,
domestic and international economic and political considerations and other
factors that are beyond our control. Interest Rate Risk In order to modify and manage the interest characteristics of our
outstanding debt and limit the effects of interest rates on our operations, we
use a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps,
floors and other interest rate exchange contracts. The use of these types of
instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates carries
additional risks such as counter-party credit risk. We do not enter into any
transactions for speculative or trading purposes. During 2002, we entered into
interest rate swap agreements fixing the interest rates on variable debt with
notional amounts totaling $175.0 million. During 2003, we entered into $150
million of forward-starting swap agreements fixing the 10-year Treasury rate
for borrowings that are anticipated to occur in 2004 to refinance some of our
scheduled debt maturities. In October and November of 2003, we also entered
into reverse interest rate swap agreements to float $100 million of the fixed
interest rate associated with the 7.00% senior unsecured notes due in November
2007. Some of our future earnings, cash flows and fair values relating to
financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market rates of interest,
such as LIBOR. Based on interest rates and outstanding balances as of June 30,
2004, a 1% increase in interest rates on our $332.0 million of floating rate
debt would decrease annual future earnings and cash flows by approximately $3.3
million and would not have an impact on the fair value of the floating rate
debt. Conversely, a 1% decrease in interest rates on our $332.0 million of
floating rate debt would increase annual future earnings and cash flows by
approximately $3.3 million and would not have an impact on the fair value of
the floating rate debt. The weighted average interest rate on our floating
debt as of June 30, 2004 was 3.72%. Our fixed rate debt totaled $959.0 million as of June 30, 2004 with a
weighted average interest rate of 7.33% and a total fair value of approximately
$998.4 million. A 1% decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value
of our fixed rate debt by approximately $29.7 million and would not have an
impact on future earnings and cash flows. A 1% increase in interest rates
would decrease the fair value of our fixed rated debt by approximately $27.9
million and would not have an impact on future earnings and cash flows. These amounts are determined by considering the impact of hypothetical
interest rates on our borrowing cost. These analyses do not consider the
effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in
that environment. Further, in the event of a change of this magnitude, we
would consider taking actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change.
Due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their
possible effects, however, this sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in our
capital structure. 29

Item 4. Controls and Procedures We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our
Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and
procedures, our management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the
cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance
of reaching our desired disclosure control objectives. Also, we have an
investment in an unconsolidated entity. Because we do not control or manage
this entity, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entity
is necessarily substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect
to our consolidated subsidiaries. As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including Arden
Realtys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the second quarter of 2004 covered by this report.
Based on the foregoing, Arden Realtys Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective and were operating at the reasonable assurance level. There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting
during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial
reporting. 30
