In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Statement No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the consolidated statements of earnings have been revised from those originally reported for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998 to reflect separately the results of discontinued operations for properties sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The revision had no impact on the consolidated balance sheets, statements of stockholders’ equity or statements of cash flows. The revisions had no impact on net earnings or net earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998.

Gross revenues include revenues from the Company’s continuing and discontinued operations. SFAS 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations in the income statement to include a component of an entity. Accordingly, the results of operations related to these certain properties that have been classified as held for sale or have been disposed of in 2002 have been reclassified to earnings from discontinued operations.

Funds From Operations, commonly referred to as FFO, is a relative non-GAAP financial measure of performance and liquidity of an equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. For purposes of the Company, FFO is net earnings excluding depreciation, gains and losses on the disposition of real estate and non-recurring items of income and expense of the Company, and the Company's share of these items from the Company's unconsolidated partnerships.

FFO is generally considered by industry analysts to be the most appropriate measure of performance. FFO does not necessarily represent cash provided by operating activities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company’s performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. Management considers FFO an appropriate measure of performance of an equity REIT because it is predicated on cash flow analysis. The Company’s computation of FFO may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO used by other equity REITs, and therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

The following table reconciles FFO to their most directly comparable GAAP measure, net earnings available to common stockholders for the years ended December 31:
