As of March 31, 2003, the Company had an ownership interest in 104 properties and managed an additional 2 properties. The real properties owned by the Company are generally subject to triple net leases to corporate tenants. Of the Company's 104 properties, four provide for operating expense stops, one is a modified gross lease and one requires the Company to be responsible for real estate taxes in 2003 and the tenant to be responsible thereafter. The Company believes it has qualified as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. A REIT is generally not subject to Federal income tax on that portion of its REIT taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders, provided that at least 90% of taxable income is distributed. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made. The unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the financial condition and results for the interim periods. For a more complete understanding of the Company's operations and financial position, reference is made to the financial statements (including the notes thereto) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries, including Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P. ("LCIF"), Lepercq Corporate Income Fund II L.P. ("LCIF II"), Net 3 Acquisition L.P. ("Net 3") and Lexington Realty Advisors, Inc. ("LRA"). The Company is the sole unitholder of each of the general partner and the majority limited partner of LCIF, LCIF II and Net 3. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company converted its non-voting interest in LRA to a 99% voting interest. Earnings Per Share. Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income reduced by preferred dividends, if applicable, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share amounts are similarly computed but include the effect, when dilutive, of in-the-money common share options and operating partnership units. Recently Issued Accounting Standards. The Company's adoption of SFAS No. 146, which requires that exit or disposal costs be recorded when incurred and be measured at fair value, had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. The adoption of SFAS No. 145, which rescinds SFAS No. 4, which required all gains and losses on extinguishment of debt to be classified as an extraordinary item, had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company's adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 45, which elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations, had no impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. FASB Interpretation No. 46 "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" is required for all variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and all existing entities beginning July 1, 2003. FIN 46 requires that companies that absorb the majority of another entity's expected losses, receive a majority of its expected residual returns, or both, as a result of holding variable interests, which are ownership, contractual, or other economic interests in an entity, consolidate the variable interest entity. The Company has not determined the impact this will have on its consolidated financial statements. 5 Use of Estimates. Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The most significant estimates made include the recoverability of accounts receivable (primarily related to straight-line rents) and the useful lives of assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassification. Certain amounts included in 2002 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2003 presentation. (3) Earnings per Share The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002:

(4) Investments in Real Estate In February 2003, the Company acquired a property in Boca Raton, Florida net leased to OCE Printing Systems USA, Inc. for a purchase price of $23,500. The lease, which expires in February 2020 provides for annual rental revenues of $2,245. The purchase price was partially funded through a $15,275 interest only, non-recourse mortgage note which bears interest at 5.25%, provides for annual debt service of $802 and matures March 2008 when a balloon payment of $15,275 is due. 6 During the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company sold its property in Bakersfield, California, in which the Company had a 64% ownership interest, for aggregate net proceeds of $2,151 and realized a gain of $885. (5) Investment in Non-Consolidated Entities The Company has investments in three non-consolidated entities. The entities are Lexington Acquiport Company, LLC ("LAC"), Lexington Florence LLC ("Florence") and Lexington Columbia LLC ("Columbia"). In March 2003, LAC acquired a property in Farmington Hills, Michigan, for an aggregate purchase price of $32,650. The property is net leased to Motorola, Inc. through December 2016 for annual rent of $3,106. The tenant has the ability to terminate the lease as of December 2011 with 18 months notice and a payment of approximately $6,600. The purchase was partially funded through a $24,000 non-recourse mortgage note which bears interest at 30 day LIBOR plus 3.00% and becomes prepayable without penalty in August 2003. LAC has arranged, subject to certain conditions, for a $21,420 fixed rate, non-recourse mortgage note to satisfy, along with an additional equity contribution of $2,580, the current LIBOR-based note in August 2003. The replacement note bears interest at 5.42%, requires annual debt service payments of $1,500 and matures in August 2012 when a balloon payment of $17,500 is due. The following is a summary of selected balance sheet data and income statement data for the Company's non-consolidated entities:

(6) Concentration of Risk The Company seeks to reduce its operating and leasing risks through diversification achieved by the geographic distribution of its properties, tenant industry diversification, avoiding dependency on a single property and the creditworthiness of its tenants. 7 For the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, no single tenant represented greater than 10% of revenues. (7) Minority Interests In conjunction with several of the Company's acquisitions, sellers were given interests in LCIF, LCIF II, or Net 3 as a form of consideration. All of such interests are redeemable at certain times for common shares on a one-for-one basis at various dates through November 2006. As of March 31, 2003, the total number of limited partnership units of LCIF, LCIF II and Net 3 outstanding was 5,248,306. These units, subject to certain adjustments through the date of redemption, currently have annual distributions per unit in varying amounts from $0 to $1.34 per unit with a weighted average distribution of $1.19 per unit. (8) Related Party Transactions In February 2003, three officers repaid recourse notes due the Company, including accrued interest thereon, of $2,522 by delivering to the Company 156,189 common shares. All related party transactions are approved by the independent members of the Board of Trustees. (9) Commitments and Contingencies The Company has entered into a $4,824 land purchase and development agreement to develop a property in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Company funded $3,414 in costs through March 31, 2003 and completion of the project is expected in the second half of 2003. Upon completion, the property will be subject to a lease which will expire 12 years after initial occupancy and provide for estimated annual net rent of 12.24% of total development costs. The Company, including its non-consolidated entities, is obligated under certain tenant leases to fund the expansion of the underlying leased properties. The Company is involved in various legal actions occurring in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. (10) Supplemental Disclosure of Statement of Cash Flow Information During 2003 and 2002, the Company paid $10,108 and $7,718, respectively, for interest. During 2003 and 2002, the Company issued 336,992 and 64,249 common shares, respectively, to certain employees and trustees resulting in $5,391 and $996 of deferred compensation, respectively. These common shares generally vest ratably over 5 years. However, in certain situations the vesting is cliff based after 5 years and in other cases vesting only occurs if certain performance criteria are met. During 2003, three officers repaid recourse notes due the Company, including accrued interest thereon, of $2,522 by delivering to the Company 156,189 common shares. During 2003, holders of an aggregate of 9,059 partnership units redeemed such units for common shares of the Company. These redemptions resulted in an increase in shareholders' equity and corresponding decrease in minority interest of $124. During 2002, the Company sold a property to a newly formed joint venture for $4,414 in net proceeds and a deemed capital contribution of $643. (11) Subsequent Events The Company sold 4,500,000 common shares at $16.44 per share raising net proceeds of $73,980. The Company entered into an agreement with Kmart Corporation, the Company's largest tenant based upon revenues, under which Kmart has agreed to make its rental payments monthly in advance instead of semi-annual in arrears. In return, the Company has agreed to pay Kmart a monthly management fee of $42. The Company received $4,510 from Kmart which represented (i) $2,950 in pre-petition rent and other charges and (ii) $1,560 for April 2003 and May 2003 rent. The Company repaid $22,500 in outstanding borrowings on its unsecured credit facility. 8 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Forward-Looking Statements When used in this Form 10-Q Report, the words "believes," "expects," "estimates" and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially. In particular, among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the failure to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust, changes in general business and economic conditions, competition, increases in real estate construction costs, changes in interest rates, changes in 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 illiquidity of real estate investments. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. General The Company, which has elected to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, acquires, owns and manages net-leased commercial properties. The Company believes that it has operated as a REIT since October 1993. As of March 31, 2003, the Company owned, or had interests in, 104 real estate properties and managed 2 additional properties. Critical Accounting Policies The Company's accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates that affect the amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities reported. The following are critical accounting policies which are both very important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results and which require some of management's most difficult, subjective and complex judgments. The accounting for these matters involves the making of estimates based on current facts, circumstances and assumptions which could change in a manner that would materially affect management's future estimate with respect to such matters. Accordingly, future reported financial conditions and results could differ materially from financial conditions and results reported based on management's current estimates. Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13 "Accounting for Leases" (SFAS No.13). SFAS No.13 requires that revenue be recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic and rational basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the use benefit is derived from the leased property. Gains on sales of real estate are recognized pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 66 "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate." The specific timing of the sale is measured against various criteria in SFAS No. 66 related to the terms of the transactions and any continuing involvement in the form of management or financial assistance associated with the properties. If the sales criteria are not met, the gain is deferred and the finance, installment or cost recovery method, as appropriate, is applied until the sales criteria are met. Accounts Receivable. The Company continuously monitors collections from its tenants and would make a provision for estimated losses based upon historical experience and any specific tenant collection issues that the Company has identified. Real Estate. The Company evaluates the carrying value of all real estate held to determine if an impairment has occurred which would require the recognition of a loss. The evaluation includes reviewing anticipated cash flows of 9 the property, based on current leases in place, coupled with an estimate of proceeds to be realized upon sale. However, estimating future sale proceeds is highly subjective and such estimates could differ materially from actual results. Liquidity and Capital Resources Real Estate Assets. As of March 31, 2003, the Company's real estate assets were located in 30 states and Canada and contained an aggregate of approximately 19.8 million square feet of net rentable space. The properties are generally subject to triple net leases, which are generally characterized as leases in which the tenant pays all or substantially all of the cost and cost increases for real estate taxes, capital expenditures, insurance and ordinary maintenance of the property. Of the Company's 104 properties, four provide for operating expense stops, one is subject to a modified gross lease and one requires the Company to be responsible for real estate taxes in 2003 and for the tenant to be responsible thereafter. Approximately 99.2% of square feet is subject to a lease. During the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company purchased two properties (including one purchased by a non-consolidated entity) for $56.2 million and sold one property, in which it had a 64% ownership interest, for net cash proceeds of $2.2 million. The Company's principal sources of liquidity are revenues generated from the properties, interest on cash balances, amounts available under its unsecured credit facility and amounts that may be raised through the sale of securities in private or public offerings. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the leases on the consolidated properties generated $27.0 million in revenue compared to $23.0 million during the same period in 2002. Dividends. The Company has made quarterly distributions since October 1986 without interruption. The Company declared a dividend in the amount of $0.335 per share to shareholders of record as of April 30, 2003, which was paid on May 15, 2003. The Company's annualized dividend rate is currently $1.34 per share. In connection with its intention to continue to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, the Company expects to continue paying regular dividends to its shareholders. These dividends are expected to be paid from operating cash flows which are expected to increase over time due to property acquisitions and growth in rental revenues in the existing portfolio and from other sources. Since cash used to pay dividends reduces amounts available for capital investments, the Company generally intends to maintain a conservative dividend payout ratio, reserving such amounts as it considers necessary for the expansion of properties in its portfolio, debt reduction, the acquisition of interest in new properties as suitable opportunities arise, and such other factors as the Board of Trustees considers appropriate. Cash dividends paid to common shareholders increased to $10.2 million in 2003 compared to $8.1 million in 2002. The Company's dividend and distribution FFO payout ratio on a per share basis for 2003 and 2002, was 69.8% and 70.2%, respectively. Although the Company receives the majority of its rental payments on a monthly basis, it intends to continue paying dividends quarterly. The Company's two largest tenants, based on a percentage of revenues, pay their rent semi-annually (Kmart Corporation -see discussion below) and quarterly (Northwest Pipeline Corporation). Amounts accumulated in advance of each quarterly distribution are invested by the Company in short-term money market or other suitable instruments. Kmart Corporation, the Company's largest tenant based upon rental revenues, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on January 22, 2002. Kmart emerged from bankruptcy on May 6, 2003. On April 23, 2003, the bankruptcy court approved an agreement between the Company and Kmart. Under the agreement, Kmart has agreed to make monthly rent payments in advance rather than the currently stipulated semi-annual payments in arrears. In turn, the Company has agreed to pay Kmart a monthly management fee of approximately $42,000 provided the Company receives (i) payment in full of all past due pre-petition rent and other past due amounts (approximately $3.0 million) and (ii) current monthly payments of future rent (approximately $0.8 million per month). In May 2003, the Company received a $4.5 million payment from Kmart which represented pre-petition rent and other charges and April 2003 and May 2003 monthly rent. Kmart leases a 1.7 million square foot distribution facility in Warren, Ohio. The Company has no retail properties leased to Kmart. The Kmart lease expires on September 30, 2007. Annual cash rents are $9.4 million ($5.50 per square foot) 10 and annual rents on a straight-line basis are $8.9 million, which represents approximately 7.2% of the Company's rental revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2003, including the Company's proportionate share of rental revenue from non-consolidated entities and rental revenue recognized from properties sold through date of sale. At March 31, 2003, the Company had $9.6 million in accounts receivable from Kmart, including $3.0 million in pre-bankruptcy petition rent for the period from October 1, 2001 through January 21, 2002 and other past due amounts, plus $1.9 million in straight line rent receivable. Kmart is current in its post-bankruptcy petition rental obligation to the Company. On April 1, 2003, Kmart made its scheduled semi-annual rental payment of $4.7 million and on May 13, 2003 paid the pre-petition rent and other charges owed the Company of $3.0 million. The Kmart facility is subject to a 7% imputed interest rate non-recourse mortgage note with an outstanding balance of $25.6 million as of March 31, 2003, which fully amortizes by maturity on October 1, 2007. On April 1, 2003, the semi-annual debt service payment of $3.1 million was made reducing the mortgage balance to $23.4 million. The property is also subject to an interest only second mortgage loan, which is a recourse obligation to the Company, with a variable interest rate of 90 day LIBOR plus 3.75% and an outstanding principal balance of $12.5 million. Annual debt service on the non-recourse first mortgage note is $6.2 million, and the next debt service payment is due October 1, 2003. The Company anticipates that cash flows from operations will continue to provide adequate capital to fund its operating and administrative expenses, regular debt service obligations and all dividend payments in accordance with REIT requirements in both the short-term and long-term. In addition, the Company anticipates that cash on hand, borrowings under its unsecured credit facility, issuance of equity and debt, and other alternatives will be available to fund the necessary capital required by the Company. Cash flows from operations were $13.2 million and $13.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $29.4 million and $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Cash used in investing activities during each period was primarily attributable to the acquisition of real estate and the investment in joint ventures. Cash provided by investing activities relates to the sale of properties. Therefore, the fluctuation in investing activities relates primarily to the timing of investments and dispositions. Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities totaled $16.5 million and $(11.6) million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Cash provided by (used in) financing activities during each period was primarily attributable to repayments under the Company's credit facility, dividends (net of proceeds reinvested under the Company's dividend reinvestment plan), distributions to limited partners and debt service payments. Cash provided by financing activities relates primarily to proceeds from mortgage financings. 11 UPREIT Structure. The Company's UPREIT structure permits the Company to effect acquisitions by issuing to a seller, as a form of consideration, interests in partnerships controlled by the Company. All of such interests are redeemable at certain times for common shares on a one-for-one basis and all of such interests require the Company to pay certain distributions to the holders of such interests. The Company accounts for these interests in a manner similar to a minority interest holder. The number of common shares that will be outstanding in the future should be expected to increase, and minority interest expense should be expected to decrease, from time to time, as such partnership interests are redeemed for common shares. The table set forth below provides certain information with respect to such partnership interests as of March 31, 2003, based on the current $1.34 annual dividend.

Financing Revolving Credit Facility. The Company's $60.0 million unsecured credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 150-250 basis points depending on the amount of properties free and clear of mortgage debt. The credit facility contains customary financial covenants including restrictions on the level of indebtedness, amount of variable rate debt and net worth maintenance provisions. As of March 31, 2003, the Company is in compliance with all covenants, there is $22.5 million outstanding on the facility, $33.3 million is available to be borrowed and $4.2 million in letters of credit outstanding. Financing Transactions. During the three months ending March 31, 2003 the Company completed the following financing transactions: - Obtained a $15.3 million interest only non-recourse mortgage on its Boca Raton, Florida property. The mortgage note bears interest at 5.25%, provides for annual debt service payments of $0.8 million and matures in March 2008 when a balloon payment of $15.3 million is due. - Obtained a $24.0 million interest only non-recourse mortgage on its Farmington Hills, Michigan property. The mortgage note bears interest at 30 day LIBOR plus 3.00% and can be prepaid without penalty in August 2003. The Company has arranged, subject to certain conditions, for a non-recourse mortgage note to partially satisfy the current outstanding mortgage in August 2003. The replacement note will have a fixed interest rate of 5.42%, provide for annual debt service of $1.5 million and will mature in August 2012 when a balloon payment of $17.5 million is due. Debt Service Requirements. The Company's principal liquidity needs are the payment of interest and principal on outstanding mortgage debt. As of March 31, 2003, a total of 71 of the Company's 91 consolidated properties were subject to outstanding mortgages, which had an aggregate principal amount of $515.5 million. The weighted average interest rate on the Company's consolidated debt on such date was approximately 6.97%. The estimated scheduled principal 12 amortization payments for the remainder of 2003 and for 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 are $14.8 million, $18.7 million, $17.0 million, $15.4 million and $16.3 million, respectively. The estimated scheduled balloon payments for the remainder of 2003 and for 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007, including line of credit borrowings and the recourse note on the Company's Warren, Ohio property, are $0, $47.5 million, $76.5 million, $0, and $12.5 million, respectively. Lease Obligations. Since the Company's tenants bear all or substantially all of the cost of property operations, maintenance and repairs, the Company does not anticipate significant needs for cash for these costs. For six of the properties, the Company does have a level of property operating expense responsibility. The Company generally funds property expansions with additional secured borrowings, the repayment of which is funded out of rental increases under the leases covering the expanded properties. To the extent there is a vacancy in a property, the Company would be obligated for all operating expenses, including real estate taxes and insurance. The Company's tenants pay the rental obligation on ground leases either directly to the fee holder or to the Company as increased rent. The annual ground lease rental payment obligation for each of the next five years is $0.9 million. Results of Operations Three months ended March 31, 2003 compared with March 31, 2002 Changes in the results of operations for the Company are primarily due to the growth of its portfolio and costs associated with such growth. In addition, Lexington Realty Advisors, Inc. ("LRA") has been consolidated effective January 1, 2003; previously it had been accounted for under the equity method. Of the increase in total revenues in 2003 of $4.3 million, $4.1 million is attributable to rental revenue which resulted from (i) the consolidation of LRA ($1.2 million), (ii) properties purchased in 2002 and owned for the entire quarter in 2003 ($2.7 million), (iii) the property purchased in 2003 ($0.2 million) and (iv) percentage rent ($0.2 million), offset by a reduction in rental revenue from property sales ($0.2 million). The remaining $0.2 million in revenue growth in 2003 was attributable to LRA advisory fees of $0.4 million offset by a $0.2 million decrease in earnings from non-consolidated entities. The increase in interest expense of $1.1 million due to the growth of the Company's portfolio ($1.0 million) and consolidation of LRA ($0.6 million) has been partially offset by a reduction in the weighted average interest rate from 7.34% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to 6.97% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 due to scheduled principal amortization payments and lower variable interest rates. The Company's general and administrative expenses increased by $0.7 million due primarily to the consolidation of LRA ($0.4 million) and greater deferred compensation expense amortization ($0.2 million). The increase in property operating expenses of $0.1 million is due to the Company incurring property level operating expenses for certain properties in which the Company has operating expense responsibility. Net income increased in 2003 due to the impact of items discussed above. The Company's non-consolidated entities had aggregate net income of $3.8 million in the first quarter of 2003 compared with $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2002. The increase in net income is primarily attributable to an increase in rental revenue of $1.5 million in 2003 attributable to the acquisition of properties in March 2003, August 2002, and the formation of a new joint venture in 2002. These revenue sources were partially offset by an increase in (i) interest expense of $0.5 million in 2003 due to partially funding of acquisitions with the use of non-recourse mortgage debt and (ii) depreciation expense of $0.3 million in 2003 due to more depreciable assets owned. The financial information for non-consolidated entities for 2002 does not include any financial information for LRA. The increase in net income in future periods will be closely tied to the level of acquisitions made by the Company. Without acquisitions, which in addition to generating rental revenue, generate acquisition, debt placement and asset management fees from co-investment programs, the sources of growth in net income are limited to index adjusted rents (7 leases), percentage rents (3 leases), reduced interest expense on amortizing mortgages and by controlling other variable overhead costs. However, there are many factors beyond management's control that could offset these items including, without limitation, increased interest rates of variable debt ($80.5 million as of March 31, 2003 at a weighted average interest rate of 4.41%) and tenant monetary defaults. 13 Funds From Operations The Company believes that Funds From Operations ("FFO") enhances an investor's understanding of the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company believes that FFO is an appropriate, but limited, measure of the performance of an equity REIT, and that it can be one measure of a REIT's ability to make cash distributions. FFO is defined in the April 2002 "White Paper", issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT") as "net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis." FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or as a measure of liquidity to other consolidated income or cash flow statement data as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The following table reflects the calculation of the Company's Funds From Operations and cash flow activities for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 ($000's):
2003 2002 ---- ---- Net income $ 8,763 $ 7,961 Add back: Depreciation and amortization of real estate 6,361 5,183 Minority interest's share of net income 1,346 1,347 Amortization of leasing commissions 200 174 Gains on sale of properties (885) (854) Minority interest's share-gains on sale 319 -- Joint venture adjustment 908 1,112 -------- -------- Funds From Operations $ 17,012 $ 14,923 ======== ======== Cash flows from operating activities $ 13,184 $ 13,435 Cash flows from investing activities (29,369) (5,149) Cash flows from financing activities 16,508 (11,587)
For the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company's dividends and distribution FFO payout ratio, on a per share basis, was 69.8% and 70.2% respectively, of the Company's FFO, respectively. 14 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company's exposure to market risk relates to its variable rate debt. As of March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company's variable rate indebtedness represented 14.6% and 10.7% of total long-term indebtedness, respectively. During the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, this variable rate indebtedness had a weighted average interest rate of 4.04% and 4.44%, respectively, and had the weighted average interest rate been 100 basis points higher, the Company's net income would have been reduced by approximately $149,000 and $140,000 respectively. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in rule 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) was carried out within 90 days prior to the filing of this quarterly report. This evaluation was made under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer. Based upon this evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (a) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is timely recorded, processed, summarized and reported and (b) include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Changes in Internal Controls There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or, to the knowledge of the management of the Company, in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the Company's evaluation. 15 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
